Georgia in tbe Revolution.
The Rev. Mr. White, in a recent, lecture
before the Augusta “Young Men’s Libra
ry Association,” gives many Revolutionary
incidents, some of which we extract.. They
are reported in the ChronicU <£* Sentinel.
At Savannah, 15,000 lbs, of powder
were seized by a few men, part of which
was afterwards burnt in British faces at the
battle of Bunker’s Hill.
A citizen of Georgia, Samuel Stiles,
owned a vessel in which he saifed to the
Berfiiudas, where he traded pro visions.to
the starving inhabitants, for powder ab
stracted from the King’s magazines, and
thus furnished the army with one of the
sinews of war.
Not satisfied with taking his Majesty’s
power, the patriots determined to take his
Governor, Sir James Wright, prisoner. One
day, when he was seated at dinner, sur
rounded by-bis friends and officers, a bold
and daring youth entered, walked up to
the Governor, and tapping lrifn on the
shoulder, said, “Sir, you are my prisoner.”
That youth was Habersham.
Of the members of the Revolutionary
Legislature, eight became Governors.
The patriotic citizens of Savannah re
solved to burn their houses rather than
permit them to become resting places for
the enemy.
The war in Georgia was prosecuted with
unusual ferocity by the British. England
taxed Georgia with- greater ingratitude
than the other Colonies, and gave her a
bitter cup to drink.
In Savannah the citizens were bayo.net-
ted by British soldiers in the streets. Hun
dreds were dragged on board the prison
ships to endure torments worse than a
thousand deaths; refused the poor boon of a
cup of cold water, and when sick tortured
with drugs in which pulverised glass had
been mingled.
After the fall at Savannah, two ragged
men were to be seen making their way
through Carolina to Moultrie’s camp. They
were arrested by a party of Carolians, and
in spite of their affirmations and protesta
tions, were about being swung off on a
neighboring tree, as spies, when some Am
erican officers riding by, recognized & saved
them. These two dirty, ragged, suspicious
looking men, were Jackson and Miliedge.
The bravery of the Georgians at the siege
of Savannah and Augusta, deserve especial
note and is only equalled by their generous
treatment of the fallen foe.
The notorious Col. Brown, who comman
ded the British at Augusta, had early in
revolutionary drama, been treated by the
citizens of Augusta to a coat of tar and
feathers. He swore to revenge the indig
nity, and fearfully did he keep his vow.
During his command he was the terror
and scourge of the country for miles a-
round .Augusta. Old . men, women and
babes were the indiscriminate victims of
his cool blooded ferocity. On one occa
sion, being confined by sickness, he had
twelve men, from a party of American
prisoners hung in the room where he lay,
aud twelve others given to the Indians to
be tortured. St Paul’s Church now occu
pies the site of Ft. Cornwallis, the place
where the infamous Brown commanded.
When the fate of war afterwards placed
him in the power of the Americans, they
magnanimously spared his life. In 1812
he was hung in England for forgery.
Georgia’s revolutionary history teems
with* the daring and romantic exploits of
her citizens. Among the many cases in
stanced by the lecturer, was that of Sallet
Chapter on Printing.
“Cant’t you print me a Bible ?” said a
rood old lady, who, some- years ago, came
into a printing office in the country.
“Certainly,” said a man at the ease, who
was bubbling at the types like a hen pick
ing up corn—“certainly madam; but pot
just at the present, it’ll take me some time
to do it.”
“Oh,” returned the lady, ‘as for that mat
ter, I’m in no great hurry—any time to
day will answer.”
“To-day !’ said the printer in astonish-*
ment, “why ma’am, you surely don’t
think-—”
“Oh, yes,” said the good woman, seating
herself on a bench and taking out her knit
ting;—“I can wait as well as not. It’s only
about 10 o’clock now,. and I spose you’ll
get it done by tea time.”
“WTiat*! print a Bible in one afternoon i
Why, ma’am, it would take me and my
devil a whole year to print a Bible.’
“Oh ! my gracious, exclaimed the old la
dy, starting up in astonishment—“you
don’t have the evil one to work lor you, do
you?’
“Evil one.’ Yes, he’s evil enough, the
lazy dog.
• ‘I wouldn’t have him print, a Bible forme
o:i any account. I s’iould..’. believe a word
on’t if he did—for he’s a liar and father of
lies.’ -
“I don’t know whether he’s the father of
lies or not. But-heis, true enough, a little
devil, there’s no trusting him; 1 mean to
cancel his indentures.’
“•Well, good by, Mr. Printer—I could not
think of having a book done in such a bad
office. Employ the devil! Oh ! dear.”
The old lady made away with all haste
out of the office; and when it is considered
that she is unacquainted with the technical -
language of ty pographers, and did not
know the difference between the printer’s
devil and old Nicholas himself, it must be
owned that her horror was very natural.

Parson Brownlow makes the following
replv to a remark of one of his exchanges,
that the parson is so proDe to discontent
and so much desires to have things his
own way, that he would quarrel with the
