Very few rebel troops were visible within the limits of the city, but at the left of it, on the line of the road leading to Bottom's Bridge, a large number were seen. At one o'clock, to-day, two mortars opened

To this couple were born six children, the eldest being Esther, our mother's great-grandmother, the youngest, Francis, who was to become the Swamp fox of Revolutionary days. Esther Marion has been called the Queen Bee of the Marion hive; she had fifteen children, and her descendants have multiplied and spread in every direction. She was twice married, first to John Allston, of Georgetown, or Waccamaw, secondly to Thomas Mitchell, of Georgetown. The only one of the fifteen children with whom we have concern is Sarah Mitchell, the Grandma Cutler of Julia Ward's childhood. This lady was married at fourteen to Dr. Hyrne, an officer of Washington's army. Julia well remembered her saying that after her engagement, she wept on being told that she must give up her dolls.

Racing in the West. --A correspondent of the Spirit of the Times, writing from Louisiana, and referring to the Metairie Spring meeting, says: Some new drafts from Kentucky have already joined Col. Richards, to be trained for the spring campaign, which opens brilliantly on the 28th of March, with a hand to hand contest between Waccamaw and Costa Diva, the odds being $1,500 on the latter against $1,000 on the former, with a forfeit of $225 on the side that fails to take the field on the day of battle. Should the South Carolina champion come all the way to New Orleans to meet his opponent, it will, as it ought to do, make him a great favorite. We hear the Ascension nag has been reserved especially for this contest, and is moving and looking like a bird. On the same day comes off the Lessee's Stake, a poststake for all ages, three mile heats, $250 subscription, p. p., with $1,000 to be added by the Lessee. This will be a very interesting affair; and may be the means of

It appears that the gunboats ascended the Waccamaw river for distance of eight miles, stopping at the presentation of the Hon. J. Izard Middleton. There they made fast to the wharf, and began wanton shelling of every portion of the promises. Mr. Middleton was absent at the time and his family just succeeded in escaping time, through the exertions of the mi Daggett. The negroes, also, all fled at of the invaders, excepting four joined the Yankees. One of these latter escaped from the enemy, and turned to the plantation. The marauders en
