We had the pleasure of attending the F annual examination of this interesting jp 'School on last Wednesday. Our time f %ill allow us to give our readers but a very short account of it. It may be prop er to mention here that the School is com- | -posed principally small children, and [' of these the number of what are called fu!i blood Cherokces we believe is greater than in any other School in the nation, except ing, perhaps, the Valley Town School.— We were much gratified to notice this act, for we have always been impressed with the importance of special missionary at tention to this class. When we entered the School room the girls were reading part of the tenth chap ter of Acts. Nearly all the girls rctid flu- I ently, and answered promptly to the ques- 1 Hions proposed by t he teacher on the lead- I ing facts contained in the chapter. Their m am wers convinced us that they read un'der- atandinghj. The boys then performed the, sa no part with equal success. After a prayer “by the Rev. Mr. Potter, the Scholars were examined in spelling 8c. reading, in which, in point of correctness, they excelled in a •remarkable degree. We do not recollect <of having heard a single mistake in spell ing, and in reading they were equally cor- 'rcct, except in pronunciation one would discover, that some had not yet mastered the English language. We vv-re altogeth er surprised to sec this correctness carried is as well lined with gold as her sister. But the misfortune is, that while mere is so much of this golden trea sure in both States, it is rare that we can get a sight of it above ground. VIRGINIA GOLD. It no longer remains a doubt but lhat gold of a pure quallity is to be found in this county, as it has alrea dy been discovered on eight dilferent plaintationons, one of which, viz, that of Capt. Wm. F. and Dr. Ed. White, about $800 worth of surface gold has been obtained within a few months, and the partial diggings and examina tions which liavo been made in sever al places, as witnessed by the writer of this, indicates an abundant sup ply- From the "Raleigh Register of June 23. SOUTH CAROLINA GOLD. Wo arc informed that a gold mine ‘ has been recently discovered in Da vidson Co. containing a vein of the precious metal, eighty fret in width. This is the largest vein ever heard of either in this, or any other country. They generally vary in width from two to live feet. From Yorkvillo (S. C.) Pioneer of June 23. SOUTH CAROLINA GOLD. It is with much pleasure we state, that a company of gentlemen of this District have commenced the gold mining business with every prospect of success. A few days since, wc were shown a piece of gold, (a- bout six grains,) collected from about two quarts of pulverized rock, which was found in their mines in this Dis trict. We do not deem it improper to remark, that a gentleman of this place has discovered a gold mine on his plantation, situated about a mile from this village, which, from every appearance, promises to be very productive. into their recitations on Historv, the ru li- nv'nts of English Grammar 3- Arithmetic. One class of the hoys and one of the gills, recited with a remarkable exactness, the 'boundaries, principal towns and rivers, of each State—seats of learning, the situation of towns, courses of rivers &c. The boys $ •then gave their visitors specimens of their oratorial powers. A few short single pie ces and three dialogues were spoken. In tills part of their exercises we thought they were deficient, possessing too much the Common diffidence of Indians. The gills closed, the exercise by repeating an origin al dialogue, written by tlieir teacher, Miss Ames, and by singing the Hymn, Christians, hear those notes of anguish Raised by many a wretch forlorn; Far beyond the s-o they languish; Wilhoutpeace or hope they mourn. &c. It was a feast to hear , them sing. The most interesting sight to us was the exhi bition the little girls mule to their parents 1 and friemds of their workmanship. Ac cording to our very feeble judgment, the improvement made by them in this de partment of their education was worthy of the highest commendation. The smallest girls, hardly three feet high, produced a fine quilt which they had made with their own hands, for the benefit of a benevolent Society organized in the girls’ School.— After the close of the exercises, the visitors were invited to a plain and wholesome din ner prepared Ijy the Missionaries. Nine ty five persons seated themselves at the •first table. For our own part Wo ar(j prepare*! to Say that we were gratified, and h?,vc felt 'ourselves fully paid for riding forty five miles. Many morc^ve believe, felt as we did. Though there was a largn company on Tuesday and Wednesday, yet we ob served a remarkable degree of good or der 'and good behaviour manifested. We saw •no one at whom wc could point our finger and say, "there goes a savage,’’except one and he happened to he a white man from .Tennessee.

Tho foUo IT '" “™ lb6 , la .« Fredericks)] WeraJJ ,J nows th e, Virginia ia rc From various indications throughout «ur District, as well as the spirit which animates our citizens on the subject, we should not be surprised if, in u few years, York would be come as celebrated for gold mining as Mecldfcnburg county, North Carolina. There are still, however, wauling men possessing not only the capital, but the same enterprise of those gen tlemen first alluded to, in order that the business may be successfully pur sued. Presence o) Mind.—While a lad, seven years of age, was in bed on Friday evening, in a house in the up per part of the city, he was astonish ed to perceive a strange man enter the room, and alter having cautiously looked round and surveyed it, ap proach the bed. The boy closed his eyes as the stranger came nearer,.and on.his arriving at the bed assumed the appearance of slumber. For some moments the follow hovered n- rouml the bed, and made uso of vari ous artifices to discover whether the inmate was in reality asleep. Hav ing satisfied himself of the apparent tact, ho left the side of the bed, and the little trembler ventured to take a peep at the viilian, ho found him cool ly removing from a bureau several mtrelea of wearing apparel, with 'which he left tho room, lie had on ly got down a dozen stairs, when the hoy forgot his fears, jumped from his bed, and screamed with such violence that his. father rushed from the par lour, and just in time to grasp the robber. The fellow was taken to the police, where was instantly recogniz ed Jas. Armstrong, who had been ac quitted of a felony the same day, in the Court of Sessions—Jour, of Com. Another Tornado.—A most impetu ous stprm passed last week, thro’ the middle of the township of Drummond, U. C. in a North East direction. It did not spread widely but it has done great .deal of injury in its narrow range,' Many eattld in the woods, or on the'verge of them, were killed by the falling of trees, sundry houses ma terially injured by the fury of 1 lie wind apd hail, and whole fields of corn cut off,as completely as if they had been mown down with a scythe. We are assured by a person, on whose ve racity wc can put entire confidence, that lie gathered some of the (Tail,which was a solid lump in form of n die, & that measured two inches on tho edge, without calculating the length of the various spars of something like hoary frost which projected from (lie sides. This piece, which is described to us as hard as if it hod been cut from the river in the middle of winter, would contain eight solid inches. Besides destroying all kinds of crop, as far as it reached. As may well be supposed, no windows against which it was driv en escaped breakage. In Mr. Lald- ersou s house alone 50 panes were broken. A young man who was driv ing oxen from Lanark, with a loud for Mi. Coleman, assures us, that he was actually knocked down by the hail, so violent was the impetus of the tem pest on which it was w'afted.—Exam, W c were yesterday shown a pitch er or cream jug, which holds about half a pint. It was made of wooden staves hooped with silver and a glass bottom. The staves were taken from the Tree under which William Penn made his treaty with the Indians.— We expressed some surprise when wc were told that the Pitcher had been taken to pieces to decide a wager of twenty dollars, and that one thousand six slave* were counted in it. It was mode by Joshua Peddle, and is the property of Mr. John Johnson. JDcm. Press. One way to reform a Drunken JIns- band.— i'he W estern Intelligencer re lates the story of a lady in the State of New York, who took the following summary means to avenge the fre quent insults and injuries she had re ceived from her drunken partner.— She had married him with a fair pros pect of enjoying competency and hap piness; but in the course of a year he joined himself to a dub of merry fel lows, and became a toper. She bore his abuse, and even his blows for a long lime, with no other complaint hut her tears—but at length her situation be came so intolerable, that she could endure it no longer. She i -solved on a desperate expedient; and on his re turn from his usual haunt of dissipa tion, just drunk enough to leave him strength to heat hex, she put her plan in execution. As soon as he was lar t asleep, she sewed him u.p in a sheet with a strong twine, leaving him only a little space to breathe. She then packed up her clothing, dressed her child, saddled a horse, and waited calmly for her husband to wake from his slumbers. At day light ho began to move, and finding the predicament he was in, poured forth a torrent of curses upon his wife, ordering her to release him instantly. She arose, looit down a raw hide which he had otten exercised upon her own person, and approaching tho bed, with perfect composure, recounted the injuries she had received—the ruin lie had brought upon himself and family, the patience with which she had endured her suf ferings, and even declared that she then lured him as she did her own life—but she could endure his tyranny uo longer—she was going to her fa nner's house, taking nothing but her child and a few articles ol clothing— before she went, however, she had a painful account to settle with him.— Suspecting her intention, lie promised amendment; but she commenced the work of flagellation with all the strength siie could exert—lie cried tor mercy, and attempted to extricate himself, but his arms were too tirnuy pinioned—he rolled from tne bed io the tloor, but his wife kept the whip moving until she thought sue had prei ty well re-paid his kindness, wnen sue bid him good morning, look up her child, mounted her horse and ruile a- way. Sue called at a neighbor s house, made known the situation of her hus band, and requested that, at a certain hour, he might bo released, which was accordingly done. Shame and morti fication overpowered lus love of drink: lie lived soberly for a year, when Ins wife consented to return to his house, and they have since lived happily and affectionately together, rearing up u numerous and well ordered family. Brave Defence.—A house on Brook lyn Heights, occupied by the children of the late Dr. Smith, was entered by two negro men -n Saturday night last, about tvvelvo o,clock, with an inten tion of robbing it. The eldest child, a boy, only sixteen, who had risen to see whence the noise proceeded, on opening tho door had a horse pistol thrown at him by >ne of the viliians, and then was fired at by tho other. The loaded pistol they had brought with them; the other had been taken from a trunk. Tho youth with a courage and spirit which would have done credit to any man, knowing lhat he was the only defender for his five little sisters and brothers, and not perceiving that a slug from a pistol had passed through his arm, seized a musket which stood in thej-ooo to resist the wretches. Recollecting tiial fie had before taken out the prim ing, on account of the children, he snook the piece, hoping some ol the charge might be got into the pan; but iailing in this, he butted his gun, and by repeatedly beating the negroes, drove them off. The oldest sister, alarmed by the noise, had been heard coming to in quire the cause; when he called to her to take care of herself and the little ones. One of the negrOes came up to her w hile she was leading them i away, and blew out the lamp in her : hand—not, however, until bho observ- : ed lie had a large knife. The coura- I geous girl, in spite of nil this, after ! having taken the two children to a I neighbour's door, where she consider- 1 ed them iu safely, returned to ihc ; house:—but the robbers had (led, , ami she met her brother almost cov* i cred with his own blood. The wound ! is not at all dangerous.
