LOCAL MATTERS. 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. The Campbell Minstrels, j This popular Company gave their first entertainment last night, at Concert Hall. The house was well filled, and the audience seemed to enjoy the mu sic and comicalities of the Company as much as ever. , I Oentlßlvy. ■ 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 of Carmichael & Dean. 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 gusta ail important wheat and flouring depot __ The weather contines dry with no prospect of rain 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 " 1— —— i Intelligence. i' CHARLESTON, May 27. —Arrived, ship Emma Liveri 001.
