Augusta Free School.
There was a large audience at the an
nual examination of the pupils of the
Augusta Free School, on yesterday af
ternoon, at Masonic Hall.
The sickness and deatli of Mrs.
Snowden, late Principal of the Girl’s de
partment, caused, we learn, some change
from the usual exercises of exami
nation, but those who were on the ex
amining committee, inform us that the
pupils acquitted themselves well, re
flecting the very highest credit on the
dilligence and skill of the teachers, and
on the aptness of the pupils to learn.—
| We learn that the average attendance
] during the year has been three huii
f died and fifty ; boys two hundred, girls
one hundred and fifty. Six teachers
have been employed, until the death of
the beloved Preceptress— Mrs. Snowden
■. —since which time the duties have de
! voled on Mr. Snowden and four assis
tants. We have nowhere seen a school
under better discipline, or one in which
the pupils exhibited a higher degree of
intelligence and vigor, or more ardor in
j the pursuit of knowledge.

■ Wewould direefthe reader’s attention
to the card of Dr. Weight announcing
that he is prepared to extract teeth by
the electrical process. We know seve
ral persons for whom the Dr. lias ex
traded teeth by this process, and they
express the utmost gratification at the
result.
We were politely shown through his
laboratory a few days ago, and frank
ly express our surprise to find such su
perior facilities for the prosecution ol
all branches of the Dental art. We ex
amined liis work also, and do not liesi
tate to say that he does everything per
taining to his profession, with the very
highest degree of taste and skill. His
plate work is especially finished and
artistic. His rooms are over the store

Fire Among the Augusta SlilpgUng.
About half-past 11 o'clock last night
there was an alarm of fire at the lower
wharf. It proceeded from the steam
boat Aiii/usla, Capt. Frazer, which had :
taken fire from sparks communicated to
the pilot-house from the kitchen. The
engines were promptly on the spot, and
the fire was extinguished without seri
ous damage, save to the kitchen and ,
pilot-house.
A Novel Watch Foil.
The officeis on yesterday arrested ail
individual suspicioned of stealing a
watch. The accused most earnestly
protested that lie was innocent, and a
thorough examination of his person
was about to corroborate bis assertion
when some one, who, doubtless, had
read of the capture of Major Andes,
suggested that his boots he removed,
This was done, the watch found, and
the prisoner locked up in Jack’s House.

Collision.
As a carriage was going up Greene street
the other night,a boy was driving down
Gumming in a covered buggy, at rather
a brisk pace. Each driver thought the
other was about to stop, but both kept
on at full speed. The result was a col
lision, in which the smaller craft was
considerably damaged.
But the best part of the story is yet
untold. Among the ruins a fan and
other feminine implements were picked
lip, which led to tile inquiry—“ what
has become of the white folks?” The
driver very gravely asserted that they
had jumped out, and thus saved their
lives. The sequel however proved that
the boy was enjoying himself “ liy de
light of the moon,” without the wiiite
folks' knowledge or consent, having left
them spending the evening with _ their
friends.
Horse-flesh could many a similar tale
unfold.
New Flour,
We acknowledge the receipt, from
Messrs. Lewis it Allen, of a sack of
Family Flour, manufactured or. yester
day, at their Granite Mills, from new
wheat, raised on the farm of N. B.
Moohk, Esq., near this city. Mr. C.
W. Gruber is the Miller. They are to
day shipping seventy-five barrels, to
take the Charleston steamer to-morrow
for New York.
We have heard of no shipments of
new flour from any other point save
Augusta, and the advantages of our
city, with the superior manufactur
ing facilities we possess, must make Au

Geology,
Dr Boynton delivered his fifth lecture
to a large audience last night, at Ma
sonic Hall. His subject was Coal, or
tile carboniferous period in the earth’s
history.
It embraced an attractive and well
sustained theory of the agencies by
which the earth was prepared for habi
tation. His theory ig sustained by the
invettigations of the most learned nat
uralists and geologists, and appears to
deserve the respect and to challenge the
investigation due to immutable truth.
The lecturer enforced his propositions
in a style clear and simple, and which
all can understand—he brought to view
the condition and gradual development
of the whole vegetable kingdom unti
the earth was prepared for the abode
of animated intelligencieg.
Dr. Boynton also imparted to this
lecture some most glowing descriptions
of the march of intellectual develop
ment, which exhibited an exact corres
pondence to the orders of progress man
ifested in the different periods of the
world s history. He illustrated the re
lation and importance of the develop
ment of one period to another, by a
review of the manifold uses to which
man is now applying coal. He point
ed out the benevolent design of the
Creator in thus.adapting all Ilis works
to the use and comfort of his creatures.
The next strata above the coal beds
reveal fossils of the reptile kingdom,
which will constitute the subject of to
night's lecture.
We observe, in the Charleston papers,
that Dr. I’ovnton gave, in addition tc
his regular course of eight lectures, an
independent entertaiment, which drew
out the lin/est audience ever seen in fnsti j
lute Hall. Wo hope he will favor us with
the same popular exhibition in this city, j
THE HEROINE! OF THE SAT,IDA.
In the District of Fairfield, South;
Carolina, there lived during the Ameri-;
can Revolution, an honest old German •
farmer, who amidst all the infections of I
a lory atmosphere, remained true to
the cause of tin. land of his adoption. |
in earnest, ardent, uncompromising;
advocate of independence, and although '
not under arms, a valuable auxiliary in i
the struggle for American nationality i
His name was Hans Griner, and al
though himself an emigrant, he had
re ired around him a family of sons and
daughters of American soil, all of
whom partook of the old man's politi
cal sentiments In fact, his household
presented what in those days might be
regarded almost as an anomaly, an en
tire family of true blue whigs. But
with all this zeal and whole hearted
ness, Hans was constrained to do what
he did with great caution and secrecy,
for he lived among those who would
catcli at any disloyalty to the king as a
pretext for violence and outrage. The
safety, not only of his property, but of
his person and the persons of those who
relied on him for protection, were at
stake. T here were tory eyes upon him,
and the vindictive hatred of that class
of spirits towards anything like rebel
lion, is too well known to doubt the re
sult of any appearance of disloyalty on
the part of the quiet old farmer. So
lie kept his own counsel, and when
urged by tnom take part in the royal
cause, he excused himself, on account
of old age, and the duties devolving
upon him in the career of his young but
growing family. But on the other
hand he lost no opportunity of convey
ing useful information to the com |
manding officers of the patriotic forces,
which, ftom time to time, entered the
District in opposition to the invaders of
the province.
Emily Griger was the eldest child of
this faithful, but unobtrusive old pa
triot. At that time, eighteen years of
age, she iiad been reared in all the pe
culiar virtues of German housewifery,
and German economy. She could bake
the bread, brew the malt, wash the
clothes, milk the cows, or, if need be,
drive the oxen upon the plantation of
her father. Yet. with all these solid
accomplishments, those of a more deli
cate and effeminate nature was not for
gotten ; and in her character were
blended with the useful, the most vir
tuous and gentle attributes of her sex
She possessed a tender heart and cleai
judgment; a lively sense alike of her
duties to her God, her country and her
fellow mortals, exhibiting a cliaractei
at once firm, free and admirable.
At the time of which I write, an or
ganized baud of tories, sustained by a
few British troops had completely swept
the neighboring districts of Ninety-Six,
and fortified themselves in a village ot
that name, from which scouts were con
tinually scouring the whole province,
carrying with them the brand of an
incendiary and the dagger of the as
sassin; the whole, being under tin
command of the infamous and notori
ous tory, John Cruger, a native of the
city of New York, who, at that time held
a commission of Lieutenant Colonel from
the enemies of his native land.
To reduce this horde of villians, drive
them from their stronghold, the Arne
rican General, Greene, was dispatched,
but with a force inadequate to the task.
He "had laid seige to the fortress of
Ninety-Six, but finding it stronger than
had been supposed, was compelled
to submit to the delay necessary
to the erection of counterworks, and
finally began the assault. But as the
details of this stern encounter are fa
miliar in history, I shall not dwell upon :
them; suffice it to say that, when i
the tory commander was on the point;
of surrendering, information was con
veyed to him that Lord Rawdon, hav
iug heard of his critical situation, was
at that moment near at hand with a
sufficient force for his succor. The ef
fect of this information, was most dis
astrous upon the besiegers, and Gen.
Greene found himself compelled to
raise the siege and withdraw his little
force. He hastily crossed the Saluda
river, and retreated in the direction of
the Enoree, leaving the tories still mas
ters of the District. Lord Rawdon,
after reaching the fortress of Ninety-
Six, and finding all safe, set out in pur
suit of General Greene, but eventually i
deemed it prudent to give up the chase
and turn his attention to the occupa
tion of Friday's ferry, at Granby, and
the concentration of a strong force at
that place, with the ultimate view of
sweeping the entire continental power
from the province. To prevent this
plan, General Greene determined to in
; tereept the expected reinforceme of
. the British commander, and accore igly
halted on the banks of the Saluc ~ in
r the immediate vicinity of our old friend
i Hans Griger.
lo accomplish his precautionary mea
sure, General Greene found it necessary
to send instructions to General Marion
and Sumpter, who were then with their
. seperate commands,scouring thecountn
, somewhere between the Edisto and
Santee river ; but the precise position of
■ either was unknown, and a: the entire
i district was overrun with predatory par
. I* l -' 8 °f the enemy, the conveyance of a
message to either was a trust of great
difficulty and danger. In fact, the at
; tempt was considered fatal to anv one
, who should possess the hardihood to
undertake it. Not wishing to force a
duty so critical aud hazardous upon any
• of his men, dispirited as they were in
consequence of their late retreat from
the assault upon Ninety-Six, the Genera]
called for volunteers who were willing
to undertake it. The call was for some
i time answered only with muttered griev
. auces. Wearied with long and forced
marches in the van of a pursuing ene
my and discouraged by a temporary re
- verse, each soldier clung to the present
momentary respite from hardship, toil
and carnage. None seemed willing to
! undertake the fearful responsibility.
But at this moment, a new and unex
. pected character appeared in the drama
A girl in the garb of a peasant presented
1 herself at the camp and demanded an
i audience .with the General—with a
. look of pleasant surprise, the picket in
quired,
“ What have yqp to do with the Gen
i oral?”
“ That I will tell him,” was her an
( swer.
‘■Good I” exclaimed the picket: so
i he summoned the corporal, who con
. ducted her to the officer of the guard,
who sent word to the officer of the day
who, after a brief parley, gallantly con
ducted her in person to the marquee of
the General. There was a look of tinii
i dity, but not of fear, on the face of that
, young creature, as she passed along the
S streets of the camp under the wonder
ing gaze of the idle soldiery, hut her
step was firm, and her bearing unawed,
j It was no strange thing to see a woman
| in the camp, hut long before this visitor
had reached headquarters the ciremu
j stance of her imperative demand to see
| the General in person had been whis
pered among the men, and their euriosi
ity was excited. It was hard for them
| to conjecture what mischief might be ■
i brewing under that simple and homely i
j garb, and it was at last gravely conclu i
| ded that she must be a spy from the tory
; camp.
; General Greene was in no enviable i
humor at the moment of her arrival in i
front of his marquee. The messages
that lie wished to send to his two geti i
erals were of immense importance, and l
driven to vexation by what lie denonii J
nated the pusillanimous spirit of his ]
men, who, one and all had, by a tacit '
silence, refused to convey them, he was s
in the act of writing an Older, detailing <
messengers to perform the duty, when
the unexpected visitor was announced.
Not partaking of the fancies of his men,
the General ordered that she should be
immediately brought into his presence,
and accordingly she was ushered into
the marquee. She was now really em
barrassed, but the General’s vexation
had been changed to a good-natured
surprise by the unexpected visit, and he <
addressed her with so much ease that in *
a moment her confidence was restored,
asshe proceeded to make known tlie ob
ject of the interview. ,
“ General, she said, “ they tell us at '
the farm that you want a person to car
ry a message to General Sumpter.” ■
“ I do, indeed, my good girl, ai... I ’
will pay handsomely any one who will i I
perform that service for me.”
“I "ill do it, if you pi iris' General,
but not for pay.” :
*• res 1” ’ i
‘‘l reckon you know where he is, and >
I am sure I can Imd him,” she added,
without appearing to notice his looks of I
astonishment.
“ But do you know the danger of the
undertaking?” inquired the veteran.
” There is not a man in my whole army
that is willing to perform tho required *
duty.
” I don’t think it's because they’re
afraid to sir,” she replied, delieatelv 1
“The solddiers are tired and worn out,
and I don't blame them for wanting a
little rest. But I can do it, sir, and no
body will think of suspecting a girl like
me.”
“ You are a brave girl; who are your
parents ?”
‘•My father is Hans Griger. Your |
camp is on a part of our plantation.”
“ Hans Griger? I know him well!”
exclaimed the General. “As true a
friend ot our cause as any man in Ame- i
rica, as I have more than once had oc- *
casion to testify. If he is willing, you ’
shall have your wish, if it were only as ;
an example and a rebuke to the cow
ardly drones that are swarming around 1
me.”
“ I have my father’s consent already,” <
she said. “He told me I might ask I
you. He would have sent one of my !
brothers, but the only one large enough
is a soldier in General Sumpter’s army, c
So, if you please, I’ll set out immedi
atelj.’’
“My child,” said the General, “ the
task is too severe for you, independent
of the danger you must incur. Why it |
is at least a journey of three days, and
most of it through a wilderness.”
“ I’m not afraid of the woods, sir, _
and as to the journey, I was brought up -
to hard work, and for that matter, to
hard riding too. Indeed, sir, I think I ‘
can do the message for you better than ;
a soldier, for I am hearty, aud they are
weary ; besides, a soldier will surely be ;
| taken prisoner if he is seen by the
| tories, and your dispatch will be lost.” ■
i Well, you shall go after you have 3
i seen your father again, and obtained a ,
: renewal of his consent. There is my!
! message already written, but in case
; you should lose it by any means, I will .
relate its contents. .Should you lose i
this dispatch, and afterward succeed in t
reaching the camp, tell General Sump
ter that Lord Rawdon is moving to- !,
wards Grandby, and he must hasten to
throw his division in advance of the ene
my and defeat his object. General
Marion and Col. Leo will be at hand to
assist him. Remember these words,my
brave girl.and depart as speedily as you
may. God bless you ! Go.” With
these words lie pressed her hand hearti
ly. She seized the precious packet,say
ing eagerly :
i “ You shall soon hear from me, Gen
eial,” and hastily quitting the camp 1
she returned to the house of tier father. ‘
In less than half an hour this noble .
girl was on the back of a fleet horse, and t
with the dispatch carefully concealed j
in her dress, she dasned down the road ,
along the banks of the Saluda. It was :
not long before circuinstnnces was nois-,
ed through the camp, and many a brave I
fellow who had never feared to face]
death on the battle field hung his head
in very shame that a young girl should:
have seized upon the glory of such an
enterprise. Volunteers were
ed as thick as blackberries, only one
of whom was accepted, and he was dis
patched to General Marion. It was ur
ged by some that the girlcould not pos
sibly reach .hunter's camp, and lienee]
it would be necessary to send some one
else in the same direction, but the Gen
eral settled that by saving she was as
good as any two men in the arm), and
whether she reached her destination or
not, nobody should share her laurels.
The first day of Emily’s journey pass-j
ed away without any incident of mo
ment, and the night she passed at the
house of a planter. Hut before the close
ot the second day, while parsing through
a wood, she fell suddenly on a party of]
armed tories. Coming from the direc
tion of General Greene’s camp, their
suspicions were excited, and leveling
their muskets at her, they commanded
her tohalt. This she did without hesita
tion, or any embarasstnent, when one of
the fellows, seizing* the reins of her
horse demanded whence she came and
whither she was going.
“ I came from my fathers, Hans Gri
ger, and I go to my brother, who is
near Orangeburg,” was her brief re
sponse.
‘‘Before you proceed, you will goi
with us to my house. I am sure mr
wife will be glad to see you," said the
tory.
Assured by their manner that they
intended no personal harm to her, she
consented with apparent cheerfulness
The house to which they led her lay
about half mile distant, and having ar
rived there, she was immediately lock
ed up alone in a room. Apprehending,
that she might be subjected to a search*!
the quick minded girl ate, piece by
incee, the dispatch that had been en
trusted to her by General Greene, and
scarcely had she completed the dry and]
unsavory repast, when the expected
wife of the tory entered the apartment l
and commenced a close and prying scru
tiny of her clothe*, hair and person.—
bus much we must place to the cred-;
it of the tories, who with all their bru
tality towards the patriots, had the!
delicacy to leave the examination of the]
person of this girl to female hands.
Finding nothing of a suspicious char ] 1
icter upon her, she was at length per
mitted to depart, and on the following!
day she arrived safely at the camp of i
General Sumter, and delivered to the]
officer word for word the message with j i
which she had been entrusted.' That!
message had much to do in breaking!
the power of the British, and closing! 1
the account of the Revolution in South
Carolina. Ihe plans of the enemy were! 4
frustrated ; the forces in the battle of
the Eli taw Spring! followed, Emily Gri
ger was for a long time the toast of the
patriot army in the South ; and the <
Heroine of the Saluda” was never for- '
gotten by that brave and faithful patri
ot, General Nathaniel Greene. 1

than I can tell you. She had been sick and pin

at great expense, but got no better. She then
commenced taking your pills which soon cured
her. by expelling large quantiti s of worms
, (dead) from her body. They afterwards cured
her aud our two chl.dren of bloody dysentery.
One of our neighbors bad it bad, and my wife
cured him with two dose* of your pills, while

For Dropsy, Plethora, or kiudred Complaints,
requiring an active purge, they are an excellent
remedy.
For Costiveness or Constipation, and as a Din

Pits, Suppr ssion, Paralysis, luflammat on,
and even Deafness, and Partial B indness. have
been cured by the alterative action of these j
Pills.
Most of the pills in market contain Mercury, I
which, although a valuable remedy in skilful

dreadful consequen es that frequently follow its
i iucautions us $ These contain no mercury or
