From Ihadlty'e " H'aihinglon and hit Generals.”
Stage nnd Storm of Sntannah.
The two armies, having formed a junction,
proceeded to Savannah, and sat down before
itie {own. D’Estalng, with the laurels or Gren
ada-fresh on his brow, sentn haughty summons
in the name or the King or Prance to the Eng
lish commander to surrender. Prevosi, inevit
ably lost, without some little delay, protracted
the correspondence as long as he could, and then
demanded twenty-four hntira to consider the
proposition, which D’Estalng madly granted.
Had he Immediately advanced on the place, it
would have been an easy conquest, for the for
tifications were In bad repair—but few of the
cannon beingwnounted, and the garrison small.
During this Interval, Prevosi worked on the
defences without Intermission, and, at the end
of the twenty-ronr hours, had nearly a hundred
cannon lining the ramparts. Maitland had also
arrived, with his choice troops, thus swelling
his army to three thousand men. He now felt
hlmseirstrong-the argnments which had In
fluenced his determination were or the most
forcible kind, and he sent to D’Estalng a polite
note, saying he had resolved to hold out to the
last. , , .
To attempt to carry. the works bv stqrm,
strengthened as they now were, would be mad
ness ; and so the French commander and Lin
coln, with an army or si* or seven thousand
men, sat down before them' In regular siege.
The trenches were opened, nnd amid the fire of
the attillery, the workmen tolled on with such
vigor, that by the fourth of September a sap
had been pushed to within three hundred yards
of the abatis. At length the bn't^Iej, were com
pleted, and on the night of the fourth or Octo
ber the tragedy commenced. The antomn land
scape was lighted up‘by the constant blaze, and
it was one peal of thunder till morning. The
uproar then became still more terrific—thirty-
seven cannon and qlne mortars were opened at
once upon the devoted town, while sisleen
heavy guns from the fleet—making In all more
than sixty pieces—kept up their stern accom
paniment. To this deluge of Iron, the garrison
replied with nearly a hundred cannon. The
earth shook under the tremendous explosions,
and a vast field of billowy smoke trembled nnd
hovered ahdve the tomnlt. Carcasses were
hurled into the town, which set the houses on
fire; and crackling timbers mingled in with the
crash of cannon-balK Shells smoked and
bursfaTbng the streets, or hanging a moment
like fiery messengers in the air, dropped with
an explosion on the dwellings. Amid the up
roar and thunder without, and the shrieks of
women and children within, Savannah present
ed a strange and fearful* appearance. And
when the night came on, and darkness shut In
the landscape, the scen’e was still more appall
ing. The smoke refused to lift itwthe damp
air, and settled like a fog over the Wmles, add
ing a deeper gloom to the midnight. Through
this the artillery kept playing, making the spot
on which It rested appear like a volcano; while
in the distance a mass of flame would suddenly
flash up, revealing the tall masts and rigging
of ships, and then the deep echo roll heavily by.
Through this thick and turbulent atmosphere,
shells were constantly hissing and bursting,
leaving long tracks of light in the passage or
meteor-like splendor in their explosion. And,
when the sun rose in the morning, it came
straggling up through a sulphurous cloud, and
at evening It* golden rays strove In vain to
pierce the sullen folds. Thus day and night,
for five days, did it thunder, and clatter, and
flame there on the shores gf the Savannah; but
still the besieged nobly maintained ibeir post.
At length D. Estaing began to be concerned
for his fleet. The stormy season was coming
on,, and It wonld not be safe to ride at anchor
on the open coast, and he therefore proposed to
Lincoln, to carry the works by storm. This
was considered baxardous; for, that five days'
cannonade had opened no breach, and battered
down scarcely a defence which had not been
lull? repaired. Besides, if the siege were press
ed a little longer, the town must surrender.
The sufferings of the inhabitants had become
intolerable, and the resistance could not be pro
tracted, in their confined and straitened condi
tion. But twenty days had now elapsed since
operations first commenced, and no one could
tell how long the place might hold out. The
season, moreover, was rapidly advancing, and
dangers of every kind were thickening around
the fleet, and therefore a crisis of some sort must
be Hastened.
- D’Estalng being resolved on an assault,
only remained to determine the manner which
it should be conducted. He and Lincoln, after
a short consultation, concluded to make the at
tack on the right side of the town: where there*?
was a deep hollow, along which the assailants p
could march perfectly covered till within a few
rods of the walls.
The ninth of October was fixed upon Tor the
attempt; and at one o’clock in the morning the
Americans stood in order of battle, though the
French did not take their station till three boors
after. At length the flower of both armies, in
one long column, stretched forward till they
men in* m-imcu uiiumii. seeing uia iiw™
routed, flung away bis sword, and with his noble
soul wrung with iWbitierest anguish, stretched
forth his arms, and prayed for death, and re
fused to stir, till forced away by his companions.
Close beside him, in the ditch, lay that model
of a soldier—the tender, the lion-hearted Jasper,
hogging his standard in death, and burying bis
bloody, {ace In its folds. He bad declared he
Would never sunender It but with his life ; nnd
there with hisheart’s blood ebbing slowly away,
he stretched himself upon It.
The strife was ovtr, and that bleeding army
rolled slowly back from the rdddy and blacken
ed ramparts. But what a scene that October
morning presented! The conflict had lasted
only a little over an hour, and yet there lav
over a thousand French and Americans, bleed
ing, or stalk and stifTin death.* Here was a
solitary limb—there a disembowelled body and
headless corpse, while the ditched looked as if
a flood had suddenly wafted a dead multitude
into It. Around the Ebcnezer redoubts the
blood was seen flowing in rills from out the
wrecks of the fight, ana gathering In deep pools
amid the heaps of the slain, while the most pit!-
fnl groans loaded the air. Andover ail this,
like a pall, hang a cloud of smoke, which had
settled down upon the field, and v;as slowly
twining itself Into fantastic shapes above the
dead. Dark, and sombre, and awful spread the
field under this sulphurous canopy. At last
the bright sun rose over the sea, and the morn
ing, wind breaking from its sleep stirred the
slnmherous flolds of that murky curtain, till
they slowly lifted and rolled upward, leaving
the blue skv to look down on the ghastly specta
cle. The dew glistened in the early light, but
the ryd drops or the human heart outnumbered
them a thousand to one.
Wide pits were dug, and the dead crowded
hastily into them—and when that October sun
went to his evening repose, nothing but the
trampled and still ruddy earth, and broken
muskets, and dead steeds, remained to tell of
the direful struggle.
D’Estalng had failed; and precipitately rais
ing the siege, embarked his troops and artillery,
and put to sea. Linroln, his militia having
disbanded, took with him his few remaining
regulars, and crossed over the Savannah and
retired to Charleston. Prompted to this under
taking by the general complaint, that onr allies
were effecting nothing, D'EMaing undertook it
hastily, then became cautious and dilatory
when haste would have brought success, and
finally crowned the whole by a rash act, which
ended in a signal defeat and dreadful slaugh
ter. The British, protected by high ramparts,
suffered comparatively little. The whole blnme
of this unlucky affair rests on D’Estalng, who,
by right of seniority, took the uinreme com
mand. Lincoln seconded him anly, when he
found he could not alter his plans, and rather
gained than lost in public estimation by the
result.

SAVANNAH.
FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE II, 1817.
Attention Whigs of Chathnm County.
A meeting of the Whig Party of Chat$|km
County will be held at the Lyceum Hall on
Tuesday Evening next, the 15th June, at eight
American Ladies.—The following is ftorn
Blackwood's Magazine. It Is true that men are
beyond all compare attentive, obliging, and
respectful to women in this country white trav
elling, and it is trqe that ninety-nine women in
one hundred, have not the courtesy to acknowl
edge a service rendered. Who has not seen the
most marked civility, the most respectftil attend
tion accepted without the slightest recognition,
or rather who is fortunat*enough-ever to see,
as a rule, all the manifold acts of kindness ex
tended towards females, received as they ought
to be received, not as an absolute, indefeasible
right, but*as something worthy at-least of a nod
of approbation. There is not, we presume,
single observer of manners and good breeding,
that ever travelled in this country, who has not
marked the ungracious manner in which at
tention is often received by oar countrywomen-
The men, however, are partly to blame.—
They often carry deference to the sex too.f^r-
farther than it bught to be carried, even were
the most gracious acknowledgments made Ip
return. We were once at a small watering
place in the country, near Rochester, in the State
of New-York. Several gentlemen who were
to remain some weeks oh the spot, had become
acquainted, and from some congeniality of feel
ing, naturally became associated together, and
being regarded as "old boarders,” had an end of
a table to ourselves, in perhaps the pleasantest
part of the dining hall. But every two or three
days, we found ourselves dispersed to make
room fora bevy or country girls, who with their
beau*,had turned out from some village or an
other not many miles remote, to take adriveand
dine at the watering place. Wc bore this for a
while, supposing it would ^end. There were
tables enough, where these pleasure parties
might sit down anf have their sport, but our end
of the table, unluckily, was always reserved
(or the "lady” visitors. These "ladies'* were
simple, sweet, interesting country girls, for
whom we entertained qll respect, whose com
pany in chatting or danetpg, we found ; to be
very agreeable, when luckily they happened in
at the time when it was within onr power to
enjoy their society. Bnt this stopping to dine
and go away again, was nothing to us, and
we were compelled to make a formal remon
strance against being so disturbed, assuring the
host that we would be content with a table in
the most remote corner of the room, but that he
most leave ns alone there. The good roan in
looking at the equity of the case, decided that
we should henceforth remain qniet.
In relation to the usages in society—to those
conventionalities which are observed towards
the sex, we have nothing to say in this conex*
ion, except that some singular phenomena will
be obswed to exist in onr borders, which a
stranger might in vain attempt to reconcile with
the out-door devotion of which wc have been
speaking.
Gen. Clinch.—We have been repeatedly
asked—is it sure that Gen. Clinch, if nomina-
fed for Governor at the Whig Convention, will
serve? We answer, and we are authorized to
do so, that he will not feel at liberty to decline
a nomination if conferred upon him. From
present appearances in the interior, we appre
hend there is no doubt that the fellow-citizens of
the.gallant General intend to confer npon him
the high office in question.
Mesmerism.—Dr. Webster gives his last
Lecture and experiments in Mesmerism, This
Evening t at Lyceum Hall. If he does all he
proposes, the entertainment will bean attractive
one. See advertisement.

rfhched~tbe open space in front of the works,
when they broke off IntollUWseveral divisions,
as arranged beforehand, and advanced on the
respective points lo which they were destined.
The French advanced in three columns—the
Americans in one—D'Eslaing and Lincoln
gallantly leading them on. Ip the darkness
they got confused in the swampy hollows, bnt
as the gray light began to dawn io the east, they
formed anew and pressed forward. D’Estalng,
wishing to take the garrison by snrorise, imme
diately spurred to the head of the first column,
and without waiting for the others to come up.
waved his sword over his head, and shouted
"advance.” Straight on the abatis and ihrongh
it—up to the very wails, and up their aides
streamed the excited troops, while those hun
dred cannon opened In the twilight, like a peal
of thunder, and one fierce fire of musketry roll
ed down on their heads. Still, "Advance! ad
vance!” rung along the shattered column, and
still D’Estalng cheered them on, till struck to the
earth, he.was borne wounded from the field.—
But nothing could withstand that deluge oT
grape-shot and balls; and the first column, rid
dled into fragments, swerved from the horrible
storm, and wheeled away into the cover of the
woods. The second, however, coining up,
passed rapidly over their dead companions, and
with shout* that were heard above the deaf
ening uproar, gallantly mounted the wall*.
Around a redoubt on the Ebenezer rood, the
struggle and the carnage were awful. Again
and again did thi* firm-set wall of living men
move on that wall of stone and earth. and tak
ing the load* of grape-shot in their bosoms,
rash shooting on the guns. Mowed down as
they advanced, and stretched in ghastly rows
along the ditch, they dissolved like mist in the
path of the whirlwind.
In the midst of the gloom and'tumult, two
hundred horsemen were seen, with a fearless
rider at their head, galloping straight for the
entrance of the town, in order to gain the ene
my’s rear. That was Pulaski, the noble, the
chivalric Pole, and his strong cavalry. With
their sabres shaking and flashing amid the
smoke, they rode all steadily forward through
the fiery sleet, shouting as they went, until their
gallant leader, struck by a swivel-shot, was
hurled, mangled and bleeding, to the earth
and then broke and fled.
This second column too, at length recoiicd l
and then the third, and last, closed in over a
.pavement of dead bodies: hut still that same
deluge of fire rolled over them, and the ranks
shook, and reeled, and disappeared In the cov
ering smoke, as. if they had been mere visions,
vrfilch the first breath could dissipate. The up
roar was terrific; and the heavy peals of artil
lery shaking the earth—the incessant roar of
musketry, mingled with the maddened shouts
ofjwar ten thousand warriors, and all in the
morning twilight, conspired to render it a scene
• of appalling grandeur. But death and carnage
are nothing to the excitedpassions of men; and
that last broken oolmnnJUormed on, until, at
last, it too. tamed d&pmflled back. In the
mld/»t of this deadly conflict, the American col
umn, with the chivalrous Laurens at its bead,
pressed straight on the Spring-Hill redoubt,
and .crowding Into the ditch, in the face of a
tremendous fire, endeavored to scale the ram-
parts. But the parapets were too high; and

New Books.—We have received from the
publishers, through Mr. J. M. Cooper, the fol
lowing new works:
1st. Washington and his Generals, 2d volume,
by Headly.
2d. Tales for the Rich and Poor.
We have also received from Col. Williams, j
Hill Side'and Border Sketches, by Lammermuir,
and the last re-pnblicaiiun of the Lamina Quar
terly and Westminster Reviews.
We are compelled to postpone the notice of
these works a day or two. in couseqncnce of the
indisposition of our associate.
Meantime, we make an extract in another
place, from Headly’s work, which we are sore,
ill interest our readers. It is a graphic de
scription of the seige and storming of Savan
nah.
New. Paper.—We have received by the Flor
ida mail the first number of a new paper called
the "Baptist Telegraph and Florida Emigrant."
This paper Is devoted chiefly to the advance
ment of the interests of the Baptist Church in
Florida, while a part of it is filled with informa
tion (agricultural) to emigrants. We heartily
wish it success. It is published in the office of
the "News" at Jacksonville on the first Tuesday
in every month, by James McDonald. Terms,
81 a year, invariably in advance.
Glynn County.—-The Wbigs of Glynn held
a meeting on the 5th inst., for the purpose of
nominating delegates to the Whig Gubernato
rial Convention, to be held at Mllledgeville on
the first Monday in July next. Dr. T. S. Hop
kins was called totbeChsir.and James D. Piles
appointed Secretary. A Committee was select
ed to nominate three Delegates, who reported
the names of Thos. Butler Kino, Robert S,
Piles, and Rev. V. Woolley. They were
unanimously elected, when the meeting ad
journed.
fy- The Columbus 'IHmes has made a long
rambling reply to one of our articles, in which,

Paganini gained ranch of his celebrity by play-

the word) was overtrained, we will introduce
the remarks from Blackwood, in allusion lotbe
last period by the way, it may be justly asked,
bow a gentleman can be expected to "eipreH
salisjaction" if the lady "murmurs no apologies."
"We are snre for instance, that females may
travel unattended in the United States with far
more ease and security than in any country of
the Old World; and the deference paid to them
is quite irrespective of the rank of the fair ob
jects— i( is a tribute paid to the woman and not
to the lady. Some travellers have denied Ibis.
"We can only say, that during a pretty ex
tensive tonr, we do not recollect a single in
stance in which even the unreasonable wishes
of women were not complied with, as of course.
We did remark with less satisfaction the Tin-
gracious manner in which civilities were re
ceived by those spoilt children of the Republic—
the absence of apologetic phrases, and these
courtesies of voice ana expression with wtflch
women usually acknowledge the deference paid
to jheir weakness and their charms. Bat this
is a national failing. The Americans are too
independent to confess a sense of obligation
even in the little conventional matters of daily
intercourse. They have almost banished from
ihe language suc^phrases, as 'Thank you,'
If you please,’ '1 beg your pardon,’ and the like.
The French, whojire not half so attentive to
women as the -Americans, pass for the politest
nation in Europe, because they know how to
veil their selfishness beneath a profusion of
bows and pretty speeches. Now, when your
Yankee is invited to sarrender a snog seat in a
stage or a rail-road carriage in favor of a fair
voyager, he does not hesitate for a moment. He
expectorates and retires at once. But no civil
ities are interchanged; no smiles or bowl
betwixt the parties. The gentleman expresses
no satisfaction—the lady mnrmnrs no apolo-

Injury to the crops. Those who planted in low
swampy grounds, which were imperfectly ditch
ed, have been overflooded, and expect to be se
riously affected, but all other species or land are
now in the most flourishing condition, and
promise larger crops than have ever yet been
obtained in ibis State. If the cotton worm, ora

prospects, East Florida will have reason to re-

The Monetary Difficulties in England.—
We have thought it might Interest some of our.
readers to peruse the following extracts from
letter in the Nfcw-York Tribune, received by
the last Boston steamer, relative to the present
commercial crisis:
"The great depreciation in the value of all
kinds of stock within a few months, is well
known. It is cumputed by those persons con
nected with the Stock Markets, ana by members
of Parliament, that two hundred millions ster
ling will not make up the loss in the deprecia
tion of the Stocks in this country. This loss is
attributed to the disarrangement the curren
cy, and this was bronghl about by several cau
ses; the most prominent were the famine, short
crops, speculation in railways, exportation of
bullion, high price of cotton, and high prices of
breadstnffs, which compelled the Bank to with
hold accommodations, and thus it forced holders
o( Stock to sacrifice it in the first market. Ten
days ago the pressure in commercial circles was
very great,4hough it is now stated that money
is easier. ••♦••••
"Severe as the pressure on the money market
has been, the prospect ahead is very gloaipy, if
all the reports are true. The London atth of
the 8th inst. says that the financial diffldtmies
oi the country cannot be overcome—that "al
though seven millions in specie have already
left ns, the drain ’has not been checked. Our
imports from America still continae;-and gold
must be sent to pay for the supplies. The mere
operation of the Bank Restriction Act will,
therefore, prevent any extension of banking ac
commodations for the greater portion of the
present/ear. The funds, too, cannot Improve
while the rate of interest remains so high, and
even the Scotch and country, bankers are forced
to become sellers In order to obtain money to
meet the ordinary requirements of their busi
ness. Railway stock must fall, for what bank
er or capitalist will advance money on ill”
Railways already projected will require from
five to six millions sterling monthly, nnd where
such an enormous amount is to come from no-
body knows.”
"To show you the severity of the pressure in
the money marketjind the inability or want of
liberality on the part of the. Rank, fit England to
relieve.ibis pressure, 1 will slate a general re
port in the city, and a report that, reached me
hrongh a reliable source. The eminent and
wealthy house of Barings had a large amount
of bills placed in their hands by a house of high
standing. These bills the Barings endorsed and
sent to the Bank for discount—not one bill was
discounted,but the whole lot was returned!
"Mr. T. Baring related in Ihe House of
Commons a most extraordinary circumstance.
He said that the most substantial houses were
unable to obtain money on the most undoubted
security, and be knew it to be a fact that one
eminent firm in London (Barings) having in
their possession sixty thousand pounds in silver
bullion, were utterly unable to raise money
even npon that security ! This appears incre-
diber; it was stated In Parliament that'll was
not only redlculous, but "monstrous" that a
great commercial house should not he able to
>ay Its debts with such an amount of bullion in
ts coffers. I was in the House of Comritons
when Mr. Baring made his able speech on Ihe
present monetary crisis, and I heard hfm refer
to this very case.. His remarks were listened
to with profound'ailention and great surprise.
Silver bullion Is the standard of value all over
the world, except in England—but in 4his en
lightened Aifiton merchants cannot p4y' Ihcir
debts with silver coin I .
"The general scarcity of food in England,
Ireland and Scotland, and the great advance in
irlces, have prompted alt classes, from the
&ueen down to the humblest individual, lo a-
dopt an extraordinary system of economy in
their families. The dueen commenced this
system last week by announcing that every
member of her household—which includes all
the domestics and personages at Buckingham
Palace and Ihe other Palaces—should be re
stricted to the daily use of one pound of bread !
The Dukes of Bedford and Norfolk, Rutland,
Grafton, and Exeter, Lord Brougham and other
Lords, have published a letter on this subject. ,
"Every person, including the dueen herself,
is now using an inferior quality ofbread! The
Morning Herald remarks that, when foe dueen
and her household use second fiour, and limit
the consumption of that and every other neces
sary, the highest and the lowest in the land will

Dr. Swayno’a Compound Syrup of Wild
Cherry*
. Its truly astonishing success in the most aggra
vated eases of Consumption, is a sufficient guaran
tee to tht public that they are not imposed upon
by a worthless nostrum, ora preparation of oven
doubtlhl character. In the annals of Medicine, over
■ince the days of Hippocrates, there has not been a
medical preparation which haa obtained ao bound-
loss a confidence, or one that haa conferred upon
mankind so inestimable a blessing as Dr. Swatne’s
Compound Syrup or Wild Cherry. So undi
nisblo sro its merits, and so completely has it sui
ceeded in the attainment of its specific object—tl
cure of consumption—that the practicing physi
cians throughout the country have not only yielded
this (to them) unpalatable Tact, but it is positively
< ised by tho Faculty in their daily practice, and that
o a degree that la continually progressing. To
avoid tho many spurious imitations of this medi
cine, which have been from time to time palmMl
upon tha public as genuine, we advise all who
with to use thenrticle, to inquire particularly for
Dr. Swayne’t Compound Syrup qf Wild Cherry.
O* Remember, all preparations purporting to
contain Wild Cherry are fictitious and counfrr-
felt, exceptfthat bearing the writton signature of Dr.
Swayne.

From the Charleston Courttr.
I take it as seif evident, that the animal frame
baa a centre on which to act, and that all our
motions, ore oilher conrrifugnl or centripetal.
A departure from, or a return to the centre,
every leaning forward, backward or sideways,
is a departure from it; which then acting as a
fulcrum of necessity, alt such departures must
be temporary.
It is Impossible for the strong man, to remain
for any great length of time In any of these
leaning postures; from which, be must be res
tored, and that by muscular strength; and then
sustained (If erect) by gravity alone. This cen
tre is necessary, for the recovery of font upright
position, which he lost during bis departure
from the natural state. With his feet on
fhe earth, he must be erect; for he is fash
ioned to move through the great ocean of
atmosphere; and is built for the purpose—'
he may be likened to a ship that moves
over the surface of the vasty deep: which is
fashioned to fit that element; she must be light,
staunch and strong. Sho must be Indened up
right and in trim; her slays, shrouds apd back
stays,must be tight, (as it were in tune). When
leaving the smooth water of Ihe harbor, she
moves out upon the ocean, pressed by Ihe wind,
nnd tossed by the waves, rolls, but returns to
the perpendicular centre; mounting her prow
upward or pitching it downward, returns to the
centre oftjpolion, floating and bearing her bur
then onward, "she walks the water lil&a'tbing
of life.”
So also, with man, built staunch, tight nnd
strong; laden upright and trim; leaning neither
forward nor backward, and with that first great
gift, "the breath of life,” be stands erect; bear
ing bis burthen and ready for motion. Moving
onward, the canvass is spread nnd he walks the
earth, not as a mere thing of life, but a llvln
soul; manned, victualed and provided with a 1
things necessary for .the voyage of life.* Under
God, he Is his own navigator, and always anber,
should be careful in his observations and master
of his calculations: with a good look-out ahead,
lest he make ship-wreck or himself: remember
ing that he is his own helmsman, and must
’steer smaBv” or else he may Abroach to” and
be "swamped." Ho should view with a wa-
mans eye, his "running rigging.” and see that
earth rops is doing its apporilJitcd part, and
that the halyard sheets, clew-lines, bnnitinc*

Previous to foe sailing of foe steamer, however, the

Statement of Cotton*
Sand’s SarsnparillQ.
This preparation is a combination heretofore un
iown in tho history of medicine, differing entirely
i its character and operations from tho various
reparations of Sarsaparilla which have been at
iffefent times offered to the public. It acts
specifically upon the whole system, thereby bring-
ing it under its direct and immediate influence.
Although possessed of powcriul and ;controlling ef
fects, yet It is entirely harmleas, so that it cannot
injure tho most dolicato constitution. When in
perfect health, no eflbct is produced by its uia ex
cept an increaao of appetite; hut whon diicaae is
seated in tho ftsmo and hurrying fast its victims
along tho path of life, then its mysterious influence
is felt and seen; it enkindles new lifo and vigor
and brings health and strength back to the suffering
and diseased.

of ita superior value and efficacy, aee pamphlets,
which may bo obtained oi agents, gratia.
