J . ; Ihave caught, Mr. Etlitor, from the lips rjjfa few liiigereisr representatives of oldeji time, an anecdote of ourrevolutionariT peri od, with which you are; probably familiar, but which has never yet enjoyed the honor of printed dignity. . Incidents of this sort, I am aware, have no great interest in them selves, yet they 1 are worth treasuring up, since tliey conduce, in some measure to clear away the gloom which rests like a cloud of upon "our early history, and indicate the char acter of the times,, when they occurred, the peculiarities of men-and the feelings and spi rit of parties. I trust that on will deem it worthy of insertion in the columns ol the Advertiser. You remember thst in the year . 1781, Major Craig at the head of three hundred veteran soldiers anu a party ot ma rines look possession of the town of Wil mington, in the name of his Majesty the Kinir of Gre; t Britain. At this period the quarrel, between the parent country and the colonies, was embittered by the memory of injuries inflicted,' on both sides, during a pro traded -..and fierce strife. The commanding general of life British forces had been driven from the soil of North Carolina, by the mas terly skill of General Green. It was very clear to all the intelligent officers of his Ma jesty's Army that the opposition of the Ame rican people to unjust rule was no idle clam our, no 1 " . ' ' Murmuring surge, That on the unnumbered idle pebbles chafes I" " but a strong, deep, tide of indignation which could not be controlled, t a determined rests- tance,whtch coulu not be crushed. In our Slate the military spirit 1 of the people had been fostered by the difficulties of 71, out of which crew the war of the Regulators, and 1 the pending struggle. The prominent men of the Cape Fear had been early in the field to do battle in the cause of civil and religious I .LiL i.- i j i i . u . r . liberty thev had farlesslv encountered Iverv 1 8nook ' tneir.beads, and murmured to each the proportion is seven for every two mar iioerty, tney naa leanessij encounierea every . ,; , R.v.rilinn,rhithm a. muh r;aini.

It is further stated, and on good authority, that a furions onset was made on the unoffending clock' with drawn swords ; and we learn from a friend at our elbow, a promisiag young member of the bar, that this very identical clock fell, af terward, into the hands of his" father ant! boreC beyond- doobt, the. very marks "of the blows inflicted on this occasion; and further, this worthy and patriotic instrument after the declaration of peace did relax from its obstin ate silence and performed, with satisfaction to the owner, its legitimate functions. P. Q. AN AFFECTING PICTURE, The following extract from .one of the last numbers Master Humphrey's Clock, is remarkable for its simpiiaity and its pathos. Nelly and ber aged grand- I father in theii wanderings were hospitably entertained at the domicil of a village schoolmaster, whe was in N great distress on account ofthe illness of a little boy t his best scholar and for whom he seems to have en- lertaihed more than parenUl affecUon.

They entered a room where a little group of women were gathered about, one,older than the rest, who was , crying very bitteily, and sat ringing her hands and rocking herself to and fro. . i: Oh, dame ! said Jheschoolmaster, drawing near her chair; is it so bad as thb?!
