NOTICE.
T HE Trustees of Baldwin County Acudemy
take a pleasure in informing the citizens oi
Milledgeville and its vicinity, that this institution
will commence its exercises on the first Monday
of January next, under tlm superiuteudante of the
Rev. Mr. Presto*. This gentleman possesses the
most tiniple recoininendutions, both tis it respects
tlte purity und dignity of his character, and his ca
pacity to conduct the interests of such an instituti
on. He has bean principal in one of the North
ern Colleges, and has subsequently been engaged
In teaching elf ewhere, uniting an enlarged experi
ence in the instruction of youth, with the impor
tant requisite of being u teacher by profession; und
designing to devote his life-time to this culling, the
Trustees-nre enabled to place peculiar confidence
in his services, and indulge a sanguine expectation
that this Academy will flourish under his auspices,
and attain to that respectability to which It is en
titled from the advantages of its situation. The
gentlemen who have heretofore been Rectors of
our Academy have, unfortunately for its interests,
been uble to bestow but u short lime ou the labors
of teaching, being generally young men whose ul
timate object w as to engage in the duties of some
profession ; but Mr. Preston, in the event of his
obtaining suitable encouragement, will settle per*
uujiiently amongst us. We therefore invite tlie
parents and guardians of children who wish to a-
vail themselves of an excellent opportunity in the.
education of their trust, to extend an active end
immediate patronage to our Acudemy.

FIGHTING WITH THE BAYONET.
The Hiiinll village ot’ Fueiitos de Nnvn,
was the spot where our forces were con-
crtitrateil. On the day following our ar
rival, Massona. having crossed the river
At:ni‘da,& taken up h is position a too great
distance from the same village, gave every
indication of his intention to dispute the
possession of it. Towards the afternoon,
hecoinuienced carrying his views into exe
cution ; and, having made a vigorous at
tack upon it, which produced a smart en
gagement, he succeeded in the attainment
of his desired object. lie had not, how
ever, a longtime to calculate upon the ad
vantage resulting from its capture; for,
before the dusky evening appeared, he
| was driven out of it in us gallant a style
j as ho could wish. In undisputed posses-
I stun of this village we remained that night
j The e.'suing morning was spent in nia-
I iitKuvriug, but the next was a day of con-
| ihet and of death. Shortly after both or
tines lind taken up their respective positi
ons, our flank companies being sent out
to the front of the lines, commenced skir
mishing, but were soon forced to give
ground, owing to the French columns ad
vancing so rapitily nnd heavily upon them.
The lines now advanced. Our regiment
was opposed to the 8th of Bonaparto’s
imperial guards upwards of 1500 strong.
We gave them four successive volleys, and
then closed upon them with the bayonet
Dreadfully destructive was this unsheath
ed weapon, and never was it more nimbly
handled in n field of Imtllc than nt this
time. They fell in heaps before it. Nev
or can any pen pourtray tho horrors of
such a scene. Pressing forward and pre
senting the purple steel to those that re-
maiued, we trampled upon the dead, the
dying and the wounded, alike unheeded
and unheard. Tho remains of this ap
parently formidable corps, umounting to
400, terrified nt the awful slaughter which
our bayonets had occasioned, turned about
and fled with precipitation. We were not
long, however, without tin enemy. A bo
dy of fresh troops, seemingly as superior
iu number as the former, wheeled in with
astonishing rapidity, and filled up the va
cuum. To charge these troops, our colo
nel, after a Brief but animaiing address,
Volt spurs to his horse, nnd waving his hut,
fed us on. Never will tlte appearance he
had al this time he eradicated from my

manifested the cotirnge of his breast;—
hts martial aspect, delightful to gaze nt,

dress, all showed tlmt he was a true warri

As we advanced to the charge, thcene
hours until his spirit emancipated from its
earthly tenement, winged its wav to the
throne of the Creator who guve it exist
ence. Bullets were flying like hailstones,
and on every hand of mu various persons
were dropping off the stage of time, into
the boundless ocean of eternity, while I
alone remained us scnthless and uninjur
ed ns if it hud only been u dronm that ar
rested my midnight slumber*. Being
thus so hotly cnguge.d in repelling tlie «l-
most overwhelming numbers of the ene
my, the 88th or Connaught Rangers, were
sent to our assistance. As they wore just
descending from a rising ground immedi
ately behind us, they fired u volley over
our Iteuds. This was u most terrible dis
charge of musketry, und in its effects it
wns awfully destructive. Tho French co
lumn which seemed to threaten us with in
stant annihilation, wavered, and before it
had time to recoil, another salute served
to complete its confusion. The havoc
which was now made among the troops
was dreadful. It wus iu vttiu that they
showed resistance ; they were, completely
repulsed on every baud, and driven from
the field.
Mnssena in tliis desperate uttempt to re
lieve Almeida, (which, being the only for
tified town tlmt the French were now in
possession of at this time, was closely in
vested by u body of our troops, under the
command of Sir Brevet Spencer,) lost up
wards of 6,000 men. When our regi
ment was mustered, it was found to have
lost 2 captains, 17 other officers, killed and
wounded, mid 670 privates. Many of
those were individuals with whom I lived
on the most intimate footing of friend
ship; tfieir loss was deeply deplored.—

TARTING INTERVIEW WITH EMMETT.
Tho evening bofore his death, while the
workmen were busy with the scaffold, u
young lady wns ushered into liis dungeon.
It was the girl whom lie to fondly loved,
und who hnd now come to bid him her c-
ternal farewell. He was leaning, iu a
melancholy mood, against the window
frame of his prison, nnd the heavy clunk
ing of Ids irons smote dismally on her
heart. The interview was bitterly affect
ing, and melted even the callous soul of
the jailor. As for Emmett, lie-wept nnd
spoke little ; but as lie pressed his belov-.
ed in silence to his bosom, Ids counte
nance betrayed his emotions. .In alow
voice, half chunked by anguish, he be
sought her not to forget him ; he remind
ed her of their former happiness, of the*
long past days of their childhood, and
concluded by requesting her sometimes to

“ We had the pleasure to travel on a level at the
rate of twenty-eight miles an hour, with as little
appearance of danger, and even of utidue speed, u»
is felt in a stage oocch travelling ou the highway at
tire ordinary speed. The moUon, indeed, ot the
carriage was so slight, that the pusaengers could'
reed with perfect ouse nt the period of its utmost
velocity, and, if the springs on which the carriage’
for the passengers was mounted, had beeu in per
fect order, we think it would not have been sort
difficult to xvrito.”
