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. case to give prosecutors notice of the time^an humble citizen of Liberty county, who and place when said application will be 1 ’ , ' n ~ a ” ' Brownlowism.

On one occasion he introduced hi mself at a Tory dinner party, ate and drank his fill, then killing his right aud left hand man, effected his escape. He would lurk alone in the rear of the enemy, and pick off numbers of their men without be ing discovered. One Tory offered a re ward of 100 guineas for Sallet’s head.
