cept that she was mounted on horseback upon
side-saddle, and on the second day of her journey
she intercepted by Lord Rawdon's scouts
Coming from the direction of Greene's army, and
not being able to tell untruth zvithoM busting,
Emily suspected and confined to a room; and
the officer in command had the modesty not to
search her at the time, he sent for an old tory
iron more fitting for that purpose. Emily was
not wanting in expedient, and as soon as the door
closed and the hustle little subsidized, she ate
up the letter piece by piece After while the
matron arrived, and, upon searching carefully, no.
thing was to be found of a suspicious nature about
the prisoner, and she would disclose nothing
Suspicion being thus allayed, the officer command
ing the scouts suffered Emily to depart for where
she said she bound-but she took route
somewhat crcutous to avoid further detention,
and soon after struck into the road to Sunpter's
camp, where she arrived in safety. Emily told her
adventure and delivered Greene's verbal message
to Sumpter, who in consequence soon after joined
the main army at Orangeburg. Emily Geiger at
forwards married Mr.. Therwts, 9 rich planter on
the Congaree. She has been dead thirty five
years; but it is trusted her name will descend to
posterity among those of the patriotic females Of
the Revolution Charleston Mercury

HIGHLAND MARY.

In The West church yard Of Greenock, without
a stone to mark the place, slumber the ashes Of
Burns Highlander, Mary On late visit to that
town, curiosity, and hope of eAciting some part
culars respecting the object of the poets love, in
duced us to pay avlst to the mother of Mary Camp
bell, now residing there. We found her tidy,
hale old woman, Of fourscore, seated beside her
"wee bit ingle," and busily employed at her spin
ming wheel, with the product of which, and little
assistance from the Parish she manages to exc out
a sort OF livelihood. Her daughter Mary soon be-
came the subject Of conversation, and we found her
extremely communicative. She stated that when
her daughter came from Ayrshire she spoke often
of the correspondence she had there maintained
with Burns, and SAID that he repeatedly offered her
his hand, and told her he would come any part Of
the Highlands and marry her. He likewise mention
ed that It was his intention to go to the w est lndes
but he 3aid IN the event of this taking place, he

LEARNED WOMEN.

Italy has produced more learned women than any
part of Europe and if the erudition of those who
Aourished in the middle ages no proof of the
originality of their genius, their classical acquire
ments were at least evidences of the care bestowed
on their education by the citizens of the Italian Re-
publcs 1t is notable that Petrarch and Boccacio,
the sons of lawyer and merchant, educat-
ed as young noblemen are in England at the pre-
sent day; and that the daughters of private men
attracted, by the cultivation of their talents, the at
tention of such men as Politian.
But Bologna, of all the italian Republics, seems
to have the longest retained her learned women,
and to have most venerated the powers of female
intellect. The chairs of the university, down to the
present day. have been occasionally filed by female
professors. To the Medelena Bonsignori, and Bet
TIA Gozzani, who mounted the cap and gown in the
middle ages, succeeded the fair Doctors, Laura
Bassi, Professor Of Physic, and Madonna Manzolina
Lecturer on Anatomy, of more recent times. The
late Sgnom Clotda Tamborni, joint Professor Of
Greek with the Abate Mezzofante, had only vacat-
ed her chair with death, short time before we ar
rived at Bologna and it pleasant thing to hear
her learned coadjutor, in describing to us the good
qualities of her heart, do ample justice to the pro-
found learning which had raised her to an equality
in collegiate rank with himself; without one llibe-
raj inuendo at that erudition which, in England, is
greater female stigma than vice itself

A CHILL DINNER.
FROM MRS. GRAHAM's JOURNAL

We found the mother sitting alone on the estra
da, supported by her cushions, with a small low
round table before her, which was spread cotton
cloth, by no means clean. The daughters not only
served their mother-but ate their meals in the
kitchen, by the fire. We were accommodated with
seats at the old ladys table. The first dish that APP
peared was small platter of melted marrow, into
which we were invited to dip the bread that had
been presented to each the old lady setting the
ample and presenting the bits thoroughly sop
pass them to puppy that sat behind her. |,
not being so near, escaped better-besldes as real
y did not dislike the marrow, tho wished in vain
for the addition of pepper and salt, dipped my
bread most diligently, and ate heartily. The bread
in Chill is not good after the first day. The native
bakers usually put suet or lard into it, so that 1t
tastes like cake--a few French bakers, however,
make excellent bread but that we had to-day was
of the country, and assmilated well with the melt
ed marrow. After this abpetSse9, as my countrymen
would call it, large dish of charqulcan was placed
before us. 1t consists of fresh beet, very much
broed, with pieces of charqu, or dried beet Sill
of dried tongue, and pumpkin, cabbage, pota-
toes, and other vegetables, III the same dish Our
hostess Immediately began eating from the dish with
herfngers and invited US to do the same but one
of her daughters brought us each plate and fork,
saving she knew that such our custom. How
ever, the old lady persisted in putting delicate pie
ces on our plate, with her thumb and finger. The
dish was well cooked 1t was succeeded by fowl
cut up, and laid ON sippets strewed with chopped
herbs-and then gib'ets-and then soup-and lastly,
bowl OF milk, and plate of H1yrzna de YalA, that
is, -four made FROM small and delicate maize. Each

would settle yearly sum upon his Highland Mary,
until he returned
Burns gaIlantry by this time formed theme for
gossips and Mary almost dreaded q asnion with one
whom her friends condemned as rake. Had she
survived, these objections would have been sur
mounted but alas their last farewell spoken;
they were long separated the resistless arm OF
death numbered Mary among his victims, and she
was mingled with the clods Of the paAey-while the
bard, unconscious Of his loss, was revellng in vision
airy prospects of domestic bliss. Impatient at the
delay and silence of his betrothed, Burns wrote
repeatedly to the Highlands, but could obtain
information to quiet his SOUL Atlength he address
ed letter Of inquiry to her uncle at Greenock,
and by him the melancholy truth was unfolded To
one whose bosom SO tenderly alive to the finer
feelings and passions, this proved an Overwhelming
blow-his mental anguish was affecting in the ex-
IRENE, and his were vented in the we'll
known imprisoned address ''To Mary in Heaven"
After Marys DEATH several letters from Burns
breathing all the ardour and enthusiasm which cha
racterscd his efusons were discovered IN her
chest These, with letter addressed to Mrs
Campbell, by her intended son-in-aw, were COM
mtted to the flames by the ruthless hand of one OF
NIary's brothers The last parting scene between
the youthful lovers, as described by the poet, was
extremely impressive. After spending day OF
parting love, the bonny banks of Ayr, they stood
on the opposite banks of Gmpid stream, eacha,7g-
ing bibles, and vows of eternal fidelity. The Bible
which Burns that day placed in the hands of his
souls idol, is in the possession of her sister at
Ardrossan. 1t is pocket bible, IN tzco Oolunes.-
Upon the boards of the LIST volume is inscribed, IN
the hand writing Of Burns, .4oad ye shalnot szcear
by my name falsely-I am the Lord," Chap. XIX
18th verse On the second. Thou shalt not for-
swear Myself but perform unto the Lord thine OATH"
and upon ablankleaf, Sc Robert Burns, luoassgiel"

THE MAID OF CAROLINA.

We are happy to find that Judge James, in his
work the first struggle Of Republicanisn,
has Gas might have been anticipated, } awarded the
highest honour to the ladies' which is not more
shan mere Justice to their conduct. When we re-
cal their fortitude, their devotion to the cause of
IS, their cheerfulncss under disaster, and their
magnanlmitv, we have considered biography of
the ladies' Of that period deslderatum, which
would furnish the patriotism of Sparta, the wit, the
ingenuity Of Athens. The following is one of the
many brilliant Illustrations
GEIGER.
At the time General Greene rctreated before
Lord Rawdon from Nnety-SiX, when he had pass
ed Broad River he was very DESTROYS to send an
order to Gen. Sumpter, who was on the Wateree, to
JOIN him, that they might attack Rawdon, who had
ROW divided his force. But the General could
find no nun in that part Of the State who was bold
enough to undertake Sc dangerous mission. The
country to be passed through for many miles was
full of blood thirsty tories who on every occasion
that offered mbrued their hands in the blood of
The wings. At length Emily Geiger presented
herself to General Greene, and proposed to act as
his messenger; and the General, both surprised
and delighted, closed with her proposal. He &C
cordin9ly wrote letter and delivered it, and at the
same time communicated the contents of it verbal
~, to be told to Sumpter IN Of accidents. Emf

LORD BYRON.

The following are few further particulars re
specting The death of Lord Byron:
"On the 9Th Of April, Lord Byron, who had been
ilying very low, exposed himself 10 violent rain !:
The consequence of which was a severe cold and hr
was immediately confined to his bed. The low
state 10 which he had been reducedby his abstinence
and probably by some of the remaining effects of
his previous illness, made him unwilling TAI anv
rate he reIused) 10 submit 10 be blet. The nfam
matory action, unchecked, terminated fatally on the
18th OF April. There are no letters of his Lordshin
OF date subsequent to the commencement OF his
Illness"
We hope the death of Byron will not be serious
~ lett by the Greek patriots; but we apprehend
that his presence was OF great service -t The han
pest results" says the Literary Chronicles follow
ed INN wherever he went: the chiefs, who had suf.
Tered their 'lie rivalties 10 neutralize their efforts
united IN the common cause the troops were nad :.
Engilsh tactics we're introduced; military schools
formed Tor the instruction of youth; new leyies
raised and every thing promised success, when
Death, deeming Byron's iame full to The brim
snatched him FROM the world"
