detailed, and shelters erected of green wood cut from the
surrounding forest. In addition to this, a few cattle had been
slaughtered from a small herd that had been driven in the rear of
the march; and long before night came on, the scene presented a
tolerably comfortable bivouac of light-hearted, laughing woodsmen,
whose familiar habits at home had seasoned them to this forest-life,
and gave to their present enterprise something of the zest of a
pastime.
In the first intervals of leisure, parties were seen setting out into the
neighboring hills in pursuit of game; and when the hour of the
evening meal arrived, good store of fat bucks and wild turkeys were
not wanting to flavor a repast, to which a sauce better than the wit
of man ever invented, was brought by every lusty feeder of the
camp.
At sundown, a long line of woodland cavalry, in all respects armed
and equipped in the same fashion with those who already occupied
the valley, were seen winding down the rugged road which led from
the high grounds to the camp. At the first intimation of the approach
of this body, the troops below were ordered out on parade, and the
new-comers were received with all the military demonstrations of
respect and joy usual at the meeting of friendly bodies of soldiers.
Some dozen horns of the harshest tones, and with the most ear-
piercing discord, kept up an incessant braying, until the alarmed
echoes were startled from a thousand points amongst the hills. In
spite of the commands of officers, straggling shots of salutation
were fired, and loud greetings of individual acquaintances were
exchanged from either ranks, as the approaching body filed across
the whole front of the drawn-up line. When this ceremony was over,
Colonel Cleveland rode up to the little group of officers who awaited
his report, and, after a long and hearty welcome, announced his
command to consist of three hundred and fifty stout hearts, ready
and tried friends to the issues of the war.
The force of the confederates, by this accession, now amounted to
about fourteen hundred men. It became necessary, at this juncture,
to give to these separate bands a more compact character, and with
that view it was indispensable that the command of the whole
should be committed to one of the present leaders. In the difficulty
and delicacy of selecting an individual for this duty, the common
opinion inclined to the propriety of submitting the appointment to
General Gates. A messenger was accordingly despatched on that
night, to repair to the American head-quarters at Hillsborough, to
present this subject to the attention of the General. In the
meantime, Shelby, whose claim, perhaps, to the honor of leading the
expedition was most worthy of consideration, with that patriotic and
noble postponement of self which occurs so frequently in the history
of the men of the Revolution, himself suggested the expediency of
conferring the command upon his friend Campbell, until the pleasure
of Gates should be known. The suggestion was heartily adopted,
and Colonel William Campbell was accordingly, from this moment,
the chosen leader of our gallant and efficient little army.
On the following day the troops were in motion at an early hour—
designing to advance, with a steady pace, towards Gilbert-town, and
thence on the track of the enemy across the border into South
Carolina. In the course of the forenoon, the vanguard were met by a
small body of horsemen, whose travel-worn plight and haggard
aspects showed that they had lately been engaged in severe service.
They were now in quest of the very party whom they had thus
fortunately encountered upon the march; and it was with a lively
demonstration of joy that they now rode with the officer of the
guard into the presence of Campbell and his staff. Their report
announced them to be Major Chandler and Captain Johnson, of
Clarke's party, who, with thirty followers, had been despatched from
the western side of the Allegany, to announce to the confederated
troops the complete success of that officer's endeavor to reach the
settlements on the Nolachuckie and Wattauga rivers. Their tidings
were immediately communicated to the army; and the deep and
earnest interest which officers and men took in this agreeable
intelligence, was evinced in a spontaneous acclamation and cheering
from one extremity of the column to the other. The messengers
proceeded to narrate the particulars of their late hazardous
expedition, and fully confirmed the most painful anticipations which
the listeners had previously entertained of the difficulties, toils, and
sufferings incident to the enterprise. Clarke's soldiers, they further
reported, were too much disabled to be in condition immediately to
recross the mountain and unite in the present movement against
Ferguson; but that, as soon as they should find themselves recruited
by needful rest, they would lose no time in repairing to the scene of
action.
Towards sunset of the succeeding day, our sturdy adventurers
entered Gilbert-town. This post had been abandoned by Ferguson,
and was now in the occupation of the two staunch Whig leaders,
Brandon and Lacy, at the head of about three hundred men, who
had repaired thither from the adjacent mountains of Rutherford, to
await the arrival of Campbell and his friends. It was manifest that
affairs were rapidly tending towards a crisis. Ferguson had hitherto
appeared indifferent to the dangers that threatened him and his
movements indicated either a fatal contempt for his adversary, or an
ignorance of the extent of his embarrassments—each equally
discreditable to the high renown which has been attributed to him
for careful and bold soldiership.
 CHAPTER LIII.
MILDRED MEETS AN AGREEABLE ADVENTURE.

We left Mildred securely lodged with her new and kind-hearted

friends, under the hospitable roof of the farmer, hard by the Yadkin.
The reader has, doubtless, found reason in the course of this
narrative to marvel much that a lady so delicately nurtured should,
with so stout a spirit and with such singular devotion, have tempted
so many dangers, and exposed herself to such unwonted hardships,
for the sake of the man she loved. Perhaps, I might be able to clear
up this matter, by referring to the extraordinary conjuncture of
circumstances that surrounded her. It was no secret that she
fervently, and with her whole heart,—yea even with a fanatical
worship,—loved the man she sought. Her affection had been nursed
in solitude, and, like a central fire, glowed with a fervid heat,
unobserved at first, silent and steady: and by degrees her
enthusiasm spread its coloring over the passion, and raised it into a
fanciful but solemn self-dedication. This warmth of feeling might still
have been witnessed only within her family precinct, had it not been
that, at a most critical moment, when her father's absence from the
Dove Cote left her without other resource than her own unaided
counsel, she was made acquainted that her lover's life was in
imminent peril, and that a word from her might perhaps avert his
doom. We have seen with what anxious alacrity she set forth in that
emergency upon her pilgrimage of duty; and how, as she became
familiar with hardship and danger, her constancy and resolution still
took a higher tone, growing more vigorous even with the
impediments that lay across her path. This may seem strange to our
peace-bred dames,—and little congruous with that feminine reserve
and shrinkingness which we are wont to praise: but war, distress,
and disaster work miracles in the female bosom, and render that
virtuous and seemly, which ease and safety might repel. Nature is a
wise and cunning charmer, and, in affliction, makes that forwardness
not unlovely, which in tranquil and happy times she would visit with
her censure. If these considerations do not suffice to explain the
present movements of my heroine, I must beg my reader to have
patience to the end, when, peradventure, he will find a still better
reason.
When morning came, Mildred was up with the first blush of light.
Her thoughts had dwelt with a busy restlessness upon the late
intelligence, and she had slept only in short and disturbed intervals.
She was impatient to be again upon the road.
Accordingly, as soon as the preparations for their journey could be
made, our party, now increased by the addition of Musgrove and his
daughter, set forward on their travel towards Burk Court House.
This journey was protracted through several days. The disturbed
state of the country, produced by the active hostilities which were
now renewed, made it prudent for our wayfarers frequently to halt
amongst the friendly inhabitants of the region through which they
travelled, in order to obtain information, or wait for the passage of
troops whose presence might have caused embarrassment.
The considerate kindness of Allen Musgrove, and the unwearied
attentions of Mary, who, softened by her own griefs, evinced a more
touching sympathy for the sufferings of Mildred, every day increased
the friendship which their present companionship had engendered,
and greatly beguiled the road of its tediousness and discomfort.
The journey, however, was not without its difficulties, nor altogether
destitute of occurrences of interest to this history. The upper districts
of North Carolina present to the eye a very beautiful country,
diversified by mountain and valley, and gifted in general with a rich
soil. Considerable portions of this region were consequently occupied
and put into cultivation at an early period of the history of the
province; and, at the era of the revolution, were noted as the most
desirable positions for the support of the southern armies. This
circumstance had drawn the war to that quarter, and had induced a
frequent struggle to retain a footing there, by each party who came
into possession of it. Such a state of things had now, as we have
before remarked, embarrassed the progress of our friends, and had
even compelled them to diverge largely from the direct route of their
journey.
It happened, a few days after leaving the Yadkin, that the hour of
sunset found our little troop pursuing a road through the deep and
gloomy forest, which, for several miles past, had been unrelieved by
any appearance of human habitation. Neither Horse Shoe nor Allen
Musgrove possessed any acquaintance with the region, beyond the
knowledge that they were upon what was called the upper or
mountain road that extended from Virginia entirely through this
section of North Carolina; and that they could not be much more
than fifteen or twenty miles north of Burk Court House. Where they
should rest during the night that was now at hand, was a matter
that depended entirely upon chance; and stimulated by the hope of
encountering some woodland cabin, they persevered in riding
forward, even when the fading twilight had so obscured their path as
to make it a matter of some circumspection to pick their way. Thus
the night stole upon them almost unawares.
There is nothing so melancholy as the deep and lonely forest at
night; and why it should be so I will not stop to inquire, but that
melancholy, it seems to me, is enhanced by the chilliness of the
autumnal evening. The imagination peoples the impenetrable depths
of the wood with spectres, which the gibbering and shrill reptiles
that inhabit these recesses seem to invest with a voice; the earth
beneath the feet, carpeted with "the raven down of darkness," has
an indefinite surface that causes the traveller to think of pitfalls and
sudden banks, and fearful quagmires; and the grey light of the glow-
worm, or the cold gleam of the rotten timber, shine up through the
gloom, like some witch-taper from a haunted ground. Then, high
above the head, the sombre forms of the trees nod in the night-
wind, and the stars,—ineffectual to guide us on our way—are seen
only in short and rapid glimpses through the foliage; all these things
affect the mind with sadness, but the chattering of the teeth and the
cold creep of the blood, rendered sluggish by a frosty atmosphere,
make it still more sad.
Mildred and Mary Musgrove experienced a full share of these
imaginings, as they now rode in the dark, side by side; and,
peradventure, an occasional expression of impatience might have
been heard, in whispers, between them. By degrees this feeling
extended to Henry, and, in due course of time, seemed also to have
reached the sergeant and the miller; for these two, as if suddenly
struck with the necessity of making some provision for the night,
now came to a halt, with a view to inquire into the comfort of the
weaker members of the troop, and to deliberate on what was best to
be done. To make a fire, erect a tent, and resort to the contents of
their havresacks for supper, were the only expedients which their
situation afforded; and as these arrangements were but the
customary incidents of travel, in the times to which we refer, they
were now resolved upon with but little sense of inconvenience or
hardship. It was proper, however, that the party should encamp in
some position where they might have water, and, with that object,
they continued to move forward until they should find themselves in
the neighborhood of a running stream—an event that, from the
nature of the country, was soon likely to occur.
"There can be no moon to-night," said the sergeant, as they rode
along in quest of their lodging-place, "yet yonder light would look as
if she was rising. No, it can't be, for it is westward, as I judge,
Allen."
"It is westward," replied Musgrove, looking towards a faint light
which brought the profile of the tree-tops into relief against the
horizon. "There must be fire in the woods."
The party rode on, all eyes being directed to the phenomenon
pointed out by Horse Shoe. The light grew broader, and flung a lurid
beam towards the zenith; and, as the travellers still came nearer, the
radiance increased, and illuminated the summit of a hill, which, it
was now apparent, lay between them and the light.
"We must rest here for a while," said the sergeant, reining up his
horse in a dark and narrow ravine; "the fire is just across this hill in
front. It would be wise to reconnoitre a little; there may be travellers
camping on the t'other side, or troops for aught we know; or it may
be an old fire left by the last persons who passed. You, Allen
Musgrove, stay here with the women, and I will ride forward to look
into the matter."
Henry accompanied the sergeant, and they both galloped up the hill.
When they came to the top, a rich and strange prospect broke upon
their sight. Some three or four hundred yards in advance, at the foot
of the long slope of the hill, a huge volume of flame was discovered
enveloping the entire trunk of a tall pine, and blazing forth with
sudden flashes amongst the withered foliage. The radiance cast
around from this gigantic torch penetrated the neighboring forest,
and lit up the trees with a lustre more dazzling than that of day;
whilst the strong shades brought into such immediate proximity with
the sharp, red light, as it glanced upon every upright stem or trunk,
gave a new and grotesque outline to the familiar objects of the
wood. The glare fell upon the sward of the forest, and towards the
rear upon a sheet of water, which showed the conflagration to have
been kindled on the bank of some river. Not less conspicuous than
the local features of the scene were the figures of a considerable
party of soldiers passing to and fro in idle disarray through the
region of the light, and a short distance from them a number of
horses attached to the branches of the neighboring trees. Horse
Shoe and his young companion stood gazing for some moments
upon the spectacle, the sergeant in silent conjecture and perplexed
thoughtfulness as to the character of the persons below, Henry
intent only upon the novel and picturesque beauty of the view.
The light shone directly up the road, and fell upon the persons of
our two friends, a circumstance to which the sergeant seemed to
give no heed, until Henry pointed out to him a horseman, from the
direction of the fire, who was now advancing towards them.
"Sergeant, turn back into the shade," cried Henry; "that man is
coming after us."
"Keep your ground," replied Horse Shoe; "he has no ill-will to us. He
wears the dress of an honest man and a good soldier."
"Who goes there?" called out the horseman, as he now came within
speaking distance. "Stand and tell me who you are!"
"Friends to the hunting-shirt and buck-tail," replied Robinson.
"I am glad to hear you say so," rejoined the scout, as he advanced
still nearer. "Where from, and in what direction do you travel?"
"That should be William Scoresby's voice of the Amherst Rangers,"
shouted Henry, with animation; "as I live, it is the very man!"
"Who have we here!" returned the horseman. "Henry Lindsay! our
deputy corporal! Why, man, where did you spring from?" he added,
in a tone of joyful surprise, as he offered Henry his hand.
"Ho, sister Mildred—Mr. Musgrove!" exclaimed Henry, calling out at
the top of his voice to his friends, who were waiting behind for
intelligence. "Come up—come up! Here's good luck!"
And with a continued vociferation, he galloped back until he met his
sister, and conducted her to the top of the hill, whence, following the
guidance of William Scoresby, the party descended to the bivouac of
the Amherst Rangers.
Henry eagerly sought out Stephen Foster, and, having brought him
into the presence of Mildred, received from him a narrative of the
course of events which had led to this fortunate meeting.
The Rangers had marched from Virginia a few days after Mildred had
left the Dove Cote. They had fallen in with Gates's shattered army at
Hillsborough, where, after tarrying almost a fortnight, they were
furnished an opportunity to take some active share in the operations
of the day by the enterprise of Shelby against Ferguson, the
knowledge of which had reached them at Gates's head-quarters,
whither a messenger from Shelby had come to ask for aid. The
Rangers had accordingly volunteered for this service, and, with the
permission of the general, were now on their way towards Burk
Court House, there hoping to receive intelligence that would enable
them to join the allies.
They had for some miles been marching along the same road taken
by our travellers, not more than two hours ahead of them; and
having reached the Catawba near sundown, had determined to
encamp there for the night. The soldiers, unaccustomed to exact
discipline, had, in sport, set fire to a tall pine which some accident of
the storm had killed, and produced the conflagration that had lighted
Horse Shoe and his charge to the scene of the present meeting.
It may be imagined that this incident afforded great satisfaction to
Mildred and her party, who were thus brought into connexion with a
numerous body of friends, with whom they determined henceforth
to pursue their journey. The first good result of this encounter was
immediately experienced in the comfortable though rude
accommodation which the prompt and united efforts of the Rangers
supplied to Mildred and her friend, Mary Musgrove, in enabling them
to pass a night of sound and healthful sleep.
On the following day, the Rangers and their new companions arrived
at Burk Court House. They were here made acquainted with the fact
that the mountain troops were at this time moving towards Gilbert-
town. They accordingly, after a night's rest, resumed their march,
and by a toilsome journey through a rugged mountain district,
succeeded on the third evening in reaching the little village which
had but a short time since been the head-quarters of Ferguson and
the spot of Arthur Butler's captivity.
They were now in advance of Campbell and his mountaineers; and,
in waiting for these troops, they were afforded leisure to recruit
themselves from the effects of their late fatigues. Good quarters
were obtained for Mildred and her companions. She required repose,
and profited by the present opportunity to enjoy it.
The village at this moment was full of troops. Brandon and Lacy,
with their followers, whom we have referred to in the last chapter,
were already there, in daily expectation of the arrival of the
confederates; and amongst these men, Sergeant Robinson and his
companion, the miller, found the means of relieving the tediousness
of delay, to say nothing of Henry, who had now become so decidedly
martial in his inclinations, that the camp was to him a scene of
never-fading interest.
In two days Campbell's army entered the village, after a march of
which we have already given a sketch to our reader. It was a duty of
early concern, on the part of Allen Musgrove and the sergeant, to
apprise him of the presence of Mildred and her brother, and to
communicate to him the singular purpose of her mission. The effect
of this was a visit by Campbell, Shelby, and Williams, to the lady on
the evening of their arrival. The two latter of these officers had
already been personally active in the behalf of Arthur Butler, and all
felt the liveliest interest in his fortunes. The singular relation in which
Mildred seemed to stand to the captive officer and the extraordinary
zeal which her present mission betrayed in his cause, drew forth a
warm sympathy from the generous soldiers around her, and there
was even a tincture of the romance of chivalry in the fervor with
which, on the present visit, they pledged themselves to her service.
With the delicacy that always belongs to honorable and brave hearts,
they refrained from inquiry into the special inducements which could
so earnestly enlist the lady in the service of their fellow-soldier, and
sedulously strove to raise her spirits into a cheerful and happy tone
by the hopes they were able to inspire.
 CHAPTER LIV.
FERGUSON ADVANCES SOUTH.—HE HAS REASON TO
BECOME CIRCUMSPECT.—ARTHUR BUTLER FINDS
HIMSELF RETREATING FROM HIS FRIENDS.

We return for a moment to look after Butler. As near as my

information enables me to speak—for I wish to be accurate in dates
—it was about the 23d of September when our hero arrived at
Gilbert-town, and found himself committed to the custody of
Ferguson. His situation, in many respects uncomfortable, was not
altogether without circumstances to alleviate the rigor of captivity.
Ferguson, though a rough soldier, and animated by a zealous
partisanship in the royal cause which imbued his feelings with a
deep hatred of the Whigs, was also a man of education, and of a
disposition to respect the claims of a gentleman fully equal to
himself in rank and consideration—even when these qualities were
found in an enemy. His intercourse, of late, had been almost entirely
confined to the wild spirits who inhabited the frontier, and who,
impelled by untamed passions, were accustomed to plunge into
every excess which the license of war enabled them to practise. He
had, accordingly, adapted his behavior to the complexion of this
population, and maintained his authority, both over his own recruits
and such of the opposite party as had fallen into his hands, by a
severe, and not unfrequently by even a cruel bearing. Following the
example set him by Cornwallis himself, he had more than once
executed summary vengeance upon the Whigs whom the chances of
war had brought into his power; or, what was equally reprehensible,
had allowed the Tory bands who had enlisted under his banner, to
gratify their own thirst of blood in the most revolting barbarities.
Towards Butler, however, he demeaned himself with more
consideration—and sometimes even extended to him such little
courtesies as might be indulged without risk to the principal purpose
of his safe custody. A separate room was provided for the prisoner,
and he was allowed the occasional services of Harry Winter and the
other companions of his late misfortune. Still, the familiar scenes of
suffering and death which Butler was constrained to witness
amongst his compatriots, and the consciousness of his own inability
to avert these calamities, greatly weighed upon his spirits. His
persuasion, too, that Ferguson was now aiding, by what seemed to
be a most effectual participation, in the plan for the capture of
Clarke, and his belief that this blow would sadly afflict, if not
altogether dishearten the friends of independence in the South,
added to his private grief. He knew nothing of the mustering of the
mountaineers, and saw no hope of extrication from the difficulties
that threatened to overwhelm his cause.
Such was the condition of Butler during the first four or five days of
his captivity at Gilbert-town. At the end of this period, circumstances
occurred to raise in his bosom the most lively excitement. Suddenly,
an order was issued for the immediate movement of the army
southwards—and the prisoners were directed to accompany the
march. It was apparent that information of importance had been
received, and that some decisive event was at hand. When, in
pursuance of this command, the troops were marshalled for their
journey, and Butler was stationed in the column, along with all the
other prisoners of the post, he was startled to observe the dragoon,
James Curry, appear in the ranks, as one regularly attached to the
corps. Butler had seen nor heard nothing of this man since he had
parted from him at Blackstock's after the battle of Musgrove's mill;
and his conviction, that, acting under the control of some higher
authority, this individual had been the principal agent in his present
misfortunes, gave him a painful anxiety in regard to the future. This
anxiety was far from being diminished, when he now discovered that
the same person, with a party of dragoons, was specially intrusted
with his guardianship. Winter and the other troopers who had, until
this moment, been allowed to keep him company, were now directed
to take a station amongst the common prisoners, and Butler was
furnished with his horse, and commanded to submit to the particular
supervision of the dragoon. These arrangements being made, the
march of Ferguson commenced.
The army moved cautiously towards the upper sections of the
district of Ninety-Six. It was evident to Butler, from the frequent
hints dropped in conversation by the royalist officers, that Ferguson
supposed himself to be getting every moment nearer to Clarke. In
this state of suspense and weariness the first day's march was
concluded.
The second was like the first. Ferguson still moved south, slowly, but
steadily. Every man that was met upon the road was questioned by
the commanding officer, to ascertain whether there was any report
of troops westward. "Had any crossed Saluda—or been heard of
towards the mountains!"—was an invariable interrogatory.
None, that the person questioned knew of—was the common reply.
"Tush! the devil's in it, that we can hear nothing of the fellow!"
exclaimed Ferguson, after the fifth or sixth wayfarer had been
examined. "Clarke and his beggars are flesh and blood—they travel
by land, and not through the air! Faith, I begin to think Cruger has
saved us trouble, and has got his hand on the runaway's croup!
James Curry."
The dragoon rode to the front and bowed.
"You left Fort Ninety-Six only on Wednesday?"
"I did."
"Where was Cruger then?"
"Marching towards Saluda, with Brown—following Clarke, as it was
supposed—but on rather a cold scent as one of the couriers
reported."
"Humph! I must get still nearer to the mountains," said Ferguson, as
he clenched his teeth and seemed absorbed in thought.
In a short time after this, the column diverged from their former
course by a road that led westward.
Thus ended the second day.
During the next two days, Ferguson had become manifestly more
circumspect in his movement, and spent the greater portion of this
interval upon a road which was said to extend from Ninety-Six, to
the Allegany mountain. Here he remained, with the wariness of the
tiger that prepares to spring upon his prey; and it was with a
petulant temper that, after this anxious watch for forty-eight hours,
he turned upon his heel and summoned his officers around him, and
announced his determination to penetrate still further into the forest.
Like a man perplexed and peevish with crosses, he soon changed his
mind, and ordered a lieutenant of cavalry into his presence.
"Take six of your best appointed men," he said, "and send one half
of them up this road towards the mountains—the other half
southwards—and command them not to stop until they bring me
some news of this night-hawk, Clarke. Let them be trusty men that
you can depend upon. I will wait but twenty-four hours for them.
Meantime," he added, turning to another officer present, "I will send
a courier after Cruger, who shall find him if he is above ground."
The following day—which brings us to the third of October—a
decisive change took place in the aspect of affairs. Before either of
the scouts that had been lately despatched had returned, a
countryman was brought into Ferguson's camp, who, being
submitted to the usual minute examination, informed the
questioners, that some thirty miles, in the direction of Fort Ninety-
Six, he had met upon the road a large party of cavalry under the
command of Colonel Williams—and that that officer had shown great
anxiety to learn whether certain Whig troops had been seen near
Gilbert-town. The informant added, that "Williams appeared to him
to be strangely particular in his inquiries about Ferguson."
This intelligence seemed suddenly to awaken the British partisan
from a dream. He was now one hundred miles south of Cornwallis;
and, both east and west of the line of communication between
them, it was apparent that hostile parties were assembling, with a
view to some united action against him. It struck him now, for the
first time, that an enemy might be thrown between the main army at
Charlotte and his detachment, and thus cause him some
embarrassment in his retreat—but it was still with the scorn of a
presumptuous soldier that he recurred to the possibility of his being
forced to fight his way.
"They are for turning the tables on me," he said, in a tone of
derision, "and hope to pounce upon my back while I am taken up
with this half-starved and long-legged fellow of the mountains, But I
will show them who is master yet!"
In this temper he commenced his retreat, which was conducted
slowly and obstinately; and it may be supposed that Butler, as he
involuntarily followed the fortunes of his enemy, contemplated these
movements with an anxious interest. The common report of the
camp made him acquainted with the circumstances which had
recommended the retreat, and he, therefore, watched the course of
events in momentary expectation of some incident of great
importance to himself.
At night Ferguson arrived at the Cowpens, just twenty-four hours in
advance of his enemies. Whilst resting here he received intelligence
of the stout array that had lately assembled at Gilbert-town, and
which, he was now told, were in full pursuit of him. It was, at first,
with an incredulous ear that he heard the report of the numbers of
this suddenly-levied mountain-army. It seemed incredible that such a
host could have been convened in such brief space and with such
secret expedition; and even more unworthy of belief, that they could
have been found in the wild and thinly-peopled regions of the
Allegany. His doubt, however, yielded to his fear, and induced him to
accelerate his pace.
His first care was to despatch, on that night, a courier to Cornwallis,
to inform the general of his situation and ask for reinforcements.
The letter which bore this request is still extant, and will show that
even in the difficult juncture in which we have presented the writer
of it, his boastful confidence had not abandoned him.
Before the succeeding dawn he was again in motion, directing his
hasty march towards the Cherokee Ford of Broad river. This point he
reached at sundown. His journey had been pursued, thus far, with
unremitting industry. If his motions had corresponded to his affected
disesteem of his enemy, he would here have halted for rest; but, like
one who flies with the superstitious dread of a goblin follower, the
retreating partisan looked over his shoulder with an unquiet spirit,
and made a sign to his companions still to press forward. They
crossed the river at night, and did not halt again until they had
traversed some six or eight miles beyond the further bank.
The anxiety, suspense, and eager expectation of Butler increased
with these thickening demonstrations of the approach of a period
which he foresaw must be decisive, not only of his own hopes, but,
in a great degree, of the hopes of his country. The retreat of
Ferguson towards King's Mountain, which now lay but a few miles in
advance, was a visible and most striking type of the vanishing power
which for a brief half-year had maintained its domination over the
free spirits of the south, and which had aimed, by a cruel and bloody
rule, to extinguish all that was generous and manly in these afflicted
provinces.
Contenting myself with this rapid survey of events which, of
themselves, possess an interest that would, if time and space
permitted me, have justified the detail of a volume, I go back to the
regular current of my story.
 CHAPTER LV.
THE WHIGS CONTINUE THEIR MARCH.—MILDRED IS
LEFT BEHIND.

The army of mountaineers halted at Gilbert-town only until a vidette

from Williams brought tidings of Ferguson's late movements. These
reached Campbell early in the day succeeding his arrival at the
village, and apprised him that Williams followed on the footsteps of
the British partisan, and would expect to unite his force with that of
the allied volunteers at the Cowpens—(a field not yet distinguished
in story)—whither he expected to arrive on the following day.
Campbell determined, in consequence, to hasten to this quarter.
The present position of Mildred, notwithstanding the kind sympathy
with which every one regarded her, was one that wrought severely
upon her feelings. She had heretofore encountered the hardships of
her journey, and borne herself through the trials, so unaccustomed
to her sex, with a spirit that had quailed before no obstacle. But
now, finding herself in the train of an army just moving forth to meet
its enemy, with all the vicissitudes and peril of battle in prospect, it
was with a sinking of the heart she had not hitherto known, that she
felt herself called upon to choose between the alternative of
accompanying them in their march, or being left behind. To adopt
the first resolve, she was painfully conscious would bring her to
witness scenes, and perhaps endure privations, the very thought of
which made her shudder; whilst, to remain at a distance from the
theatre of events in which she was so deeply concerned, was a
thought that suggested many anxious fears, not less intolerable than
the untried sufferings of the campaign. She had, thus far, braved all
dangers for the sake of being near to Butler; and now to hesitate or
