thtdr left, aud two strong redoubts, from which
they kept up «|M ipc^uit dischurgo of allot and
•bellsTor sevorM successive flays, which wns re-
lurried by us with 'equal vigor. At length a shell
from their butteries blew up ono of onr sintfll
magazines, but with trifling injury to tiro rest of
our defences. They wore elevated with their
•Ueftes*. and Gen. Gaines received secret infur-
nialion that they intended to carry tho work by
storm the following night. That night, said the
major, I shall not soon forgot. ■ It set in intensely
dark and cloudy, extremity favorable to the do-
signs of die enemy. Every thing was put in the
fullest ststo of preparation to receive them. The
men enthusiastically awaiting tbo attack, wero or
dered to lie oil their arms. Ejtonded along the
linef,* aud manning the fort and bastion, onr lit
tle army, in perfect silence, awaited their coining.
The forest Had been cleared about three hun
dred yards in. front of our works—beyond that
were, as you see, the woods. As the night wore
on, W* listened with earnestness to uvery sound.
A little after midnight we heard on the dry leaves
the ‘stealthy sound of fooisteps. YVo listeued—
they came nearer. A short, sharp chullougo,
“ Who goes there I” issued from the farther re-‘
doubt. The footsteps ceased, us if irresolute to
advance or recede, and all was still. Another
quick chtillengo—a rattle, of the musket, as it lei 1
intotho liollow of the hand—followed the reply:
“Picquet guard forced in by the enemy’s ad
vance.” ' . •
“Back, grinrd! hack to your post instantly, or
Wo Will fire upon you,” said tho stern voico of
oiir commanding oflicer. Tim foolseps of the
stragglers sldw/y receded, und entire stillness
again obtained. It was as profound us the dark
ness, not even the limn of an insect rose upon
the ear. We laid our heads upon the ramparts,and
listened with all our faculties. Perhaps half nil
hour elapsed, when wo imagine wo heard the
heavy sound of a body of meu—tramp-rtramp—
advancing through the pitchy darkness. A few
moments passed—-a brisk, scattering lire, and the
picqnets camo in in beautiful order, under the
brave subaltern in command. The moastmJd
tread of disciplined troops became apparent.—
Every sense was stretched to the. utmost in ex
pectancy—every eye endeuvored to fathom the
dsrkuestin front, when from Towson’s battery,
that toward the river, glanced n volley of mus
ketry, and in another instant the whole lino of
works,.bastion, redoubt aud rampart, streamed
forth one living sheet.ofllatno. .Two eighteeus,
mounted where we stand,were filled to tho muz
zle with grape, cuuisterand lings of musket bul
lets—imagine their havoc. The enemy cume
oh with loud shouts and undaunted bravery. By
the continued glare of our discharges wo could
see dense, dark masses of men, moving in fcol*
urn ns to three separate points ofuttackupon our
works, j
Our artillery and musketry poured on them
as they advanced a continual stream of fire,
rolling and glauciug from angles, bastions and
redoubts. Repulsed—they were reformed by
their.officers, and brought again to tho charge,
tu be again repulsed. At such times hours tty
like minutes. A life appears coucetitrated to a
moment. We had been engaged perhnps un
hour—perhaps three—when 1 heard in that bas
tion of the fort, a hundred feet from me, above
the oprftar, a quick, furious struggle, os if of
men engaged in fierce, dead, fight; a clashing of
bayonets and sharp pistol shots, mixed with
fieuvy blows, and short, quick breathing, such as
you may have hoard men tuuke in violent excr-
tion—in cutting wood with axes, or other severe
manual labor. Tlie conflict, though fierce, was
short—the assailants wero repelled. Tnose that
S ained a footing were buyonetted, or thrown
ack over tho parapet. In a few moments I
beard again the sutne fierce struggle, and again
followed the like result and stillness—jf stillness
could be said ,to exist uuder cottiiituul rour of
inuskotry and artillery* ^ A third time jt rose,
sudden aud desperate: it censed, and presently
a clear, loud voice rose high above the battle
from the bastion: “Stop fifing ih front there,
you are firing on your friends.” An instant
cessation followed. We are deceived. In
another moment the voice of an oflicer. with
startling energy replied,: “ Aye, aye, wo'JI stop,
give it to them tnen, give it them i” mid the
firing, renewed, was continued with redoubled
fury. ■ t - a ?
The bend of the centre column, composed of
eight hundrod picked men, led by Lt. Colonel
Drnuiinond in person, nfter three several as
saults, had gained possession of the bastion,
and by that ruse endeuvored to causa u cessa
tion of the fire--a result that might liavo been
fatal to us hud not the deception been so som^
discerned. But the prize was of but littlo val
ue, os the bastion was commanded by the inte
rior of tho works, and the men, tinder cover
of the .walls of an adjoining barrack, poured
into the gorge that led to it a Continual storm
of musketry. Thu firing continued with una
bated fury. The enemy, repulsed iu every
attack, was unsuccessful on every point save
thut bastion, the possession of which they still
retained—when I heard n groaning roll and
shake.of tho earth, and insuuilly the bastion,
bodies of men, timber, gnus, earth and stones,
were blown up iuthu air like a volcano, making
everytliing in the glare ns clear us noon day.—
A descending timber dashed one of my artillery
men >to pieces within u fool of my shoulder.
Profound darkness and silence followed —
Naught tut the groans of the wounded and dy
ing Were heard. As if by mutuul consent the
iighfmg ceased and tho enemy withdrew, repuls
ed oil every side, save from, the parapet which
thoy purchased for their grave. A large quanti
ty of fixed ammunition had been ptoccd in the
lower part, and a stray wad fulling upon it. had
blown them all up together. My duly required
thaj 1 should immediately repair the bastion, and
ri;o3t‘Jiorriblo wus tho sight—bodies burnt mid
mutilated, some of thorn stillpulsuting with life,
umoiig thorn Lieut ^ Col. Ufrummoiiu—there ho
lay in the morning light, stark und stiff, extended
ou. thq rampart, a. bulj haying passed through his
breast. Jllsfery mourns that his courage nssum-
«d t)\o.character ( of ferocity. His war-cry of
•• No ^nurler to fee damned Yankees,” his own
deutb warrant, was.long remembered against his
cotintrymon. The enemy did hot resume the at
tack,hut retired to their entrenched cam p.« treiigth-
ened their works and prepared fa make their ap
proach by regulur advances.

More’ False Reports.—The Republican of
yesterday, has a notice of a report circulating in
the up-country and on the Rail Road lines lead
ing to Savannah, that tho cholera is prevailing to
an uturming exteut.in the city, U is also inform
ed that handbills stating this report, have even
been posted up along tho rout. Tho individual
who could ho guilty of such V wanton malicious
piece of rascality Ought to bo detected and brought
to justice. Wo scarcely know the extent of pun
ishment which should be inflicted upon one who
could be guilty of circulating bo gross and wan
ton u falsehood. It is untrue in every particular.
There has not becti a single cuso of chbicru in
the City of Savannah this year. Tho city was
never more healthy at this period of the season
than at present, und no ono need fear a visit for
any length of time. Iu fact there wero but a very
few if any cases of cholera in 1832 and *34 in this
city, when the disease was more severe on the
Atlantic seaboard than it has been thus far this
yonr. Wo see no reuson ifit does visit us, why
it should be more fatal than iti formor yours.—
We may ho visited with the scourge. If an all
wise Providence secs fit to^send it upon us, hu
man eflort cannot avert it.
Theso reports aro intended doubtless to injure
tho business of onr city—but tints' fur we ure

The Convention reassembled in tho after
noon, when the Chuirtnau, premising that the de
liberations of the Committee had been distin
guished by the utmost harmony and good feel
ing, reported tlie following preamble and reso
lutions for the consideration of the Convention,
which on motion were unanimously adopted.
In conformity with the usage of onr party, wo
propose to reaffirm the principles of our political
faith, our uudiminishod confidence in their truth
and correctness, aud our determination to pre
serve and maintain them by tho exercise of ev
ery honoruble means.
Therefore Resolved, That a strict construction
of the Constitution of the United States, an equal
distribution ofthe burthens and benefits of gov
ernment, au independent treasury system, a rev
enue system of turitf duties, opposition to a sys
tem ofiiiteriml improvements by thegovernment,
opposition to the repeal or modification ofthe
veto power arecardinnl principles ofthe Demo
cratic party, and that their triumphant vindicu-
tion in tho administration of Jumes K. Polk, has
increased our confidence in them and strength
ens our devotion to their maintenance.
Rcsolvcdf That in reference to the subject of
slavery in our newly acquired territories, we
bold the dactriue of uon-tnterventiou, which doc
trine denies to Congress the power, either origi
nally, or by ratification of tho action of a turri-
toriul legislature, oithcr for or against the intro
duction of sluvery into such territories; and hold
iug such doctrine, wo should regard tho adoption
of tho Wiimot Proviso os unjust and unconsti
tutional, and uro prepared to co-opcrnte with
our friends in resisting its enactment and en

ed by the Virginia Legislature at its last session,
which wo hereby adopt, und which road
follows: » -’ v .
PREAMBLE AND RESOLUTIONS.
Whereas the institution of slavery was fully
discussed in the convention which formed the
constitution of the United States, and tho rights
of slaveholders recognized and protected by the
provisions of that instrument; and without tho
compromises thou solemuly entered into, tho
union of tho Status never could have been formed:
and wherens the General Assembly of Virginia,
regarding what is known as the “ Wiimot Pro
viso” os in palpable disregard of tho compro
mises of the constitution, did, 011 the 8th day of
March, 1847, adopt 11 series of resolutions, dis-
tinclly indicating the.cqursowhich the Stale of
Virginia would pursue Iu the event of its passage
by the Congress ofthe United Statos, as npplica-
cable to territory to be acquired from Mexico;.
and wliercas/tbe present General Assembly hnve
fleet* with deep.concoril a disposition manifested
by tbo House of Representatives ofthe United
States to violate the principles embodied in said;
resolutions, and to make snU further aggressious
upoff the*rights of tlio Southern States; tinder
theso circumstances, this General Assembly deem
tho occasion fit to rentfirm said resolutions and
most respectfully, but most earnestly, to call tho
attention of all thoso who are attached to tho
union ofthe States, to the serious and inevitable
3 ien?cs which must follow .such action
opart of the General Government: Be
iuhorefore, '
i. Resolvedly ihe General Assembly of Virginia,
That after the fullest ro-cx ami nation and recon

“4. Resolved, unanimously, Tliut the general

is dear to him,) to oppose tho pussugo of any law,

“5. Resolved unanimously. That the passage
of thu above mentioned proviso makes it tlie duty
of overy slaveholding State, and of all tho citizens
thereof, as they value their dearest privileges,
their sovereignty, their indepotideiicc, their
rights of property, to tuko firm, united, und con

IT. Resolved, Thut we regard tlio passage of a
law by tho Congress of tho United States, abolish

III. Resolved, Tlmt in tbo event ofthe pnssngo

District of Columbia, the governor of this Com
monwealth is requested immediately to convene

ojienly'espoused und vindicated. Beaten upon
this platform; in 1848, they abandoned all prin
ciple for tliut of Central Availability; they hy
pocritically professed; to deprecate tho asperity
of pnrty and proscription, and put forward Gen.
Taylor as their “ no party candidate.” Under
fulso pretences and ad enptandum appeals to thu
masses, animated by admiration for his military
deeds, he was elected, and is now the automaton
president, controlled by a Cabinet composed of
desperate pnrty lmckfl, without any avowed prin
ciples—without any declared system of.public
policy and without uny regard to solemn pledges
made to tho country preceding the election.
Than Whig principles, what elso beneath tbo
sun is so transient and so changeable. It is well
the Editor clothed the sentiment iu verse; for
this is tho proper and legitimate medium of

4, TUe Lost refuge of a Scoundrel.’*
“There is another platform : it is thut of an
honest man, who says that ho is a whig, but if
elected to the Presidency, lie vvill not be the tool
ofa pnrty—that ho will be tbo President of tho
people—that ho has no enemies to punish—no
friends to reward.”
“The patriotism of mere politicians which ex
plodes iu deceptive party pledges, is understood
to be, ns Dr- Johnson defines it, 'the lust refuge of
a Scoundrel.' "—Speech of Hon. J. M. Clayton, in
Senate, OtA July, J848.
Tho Taylor papers first justified Taylor's odi
ous proscription. by telling us that only a few
office holders had been turned out!
YVlien this position foil by its own weight, they
next told ustuatthe system of proscription would
only extend to men put iu by President Polk.
When this failed, by the proscription of men

Resolved, That Gen. Taylor, by organizing
his Cabinet with a majority of men known to bo
favorable to tho principles of the YVilmot Pro
viso, and by manifesting his determination to
submit to tbo decision of that majority tho policy
of his udminlsfrutiou, has given just cattso of
alarm to tho friends of Southern rights, which
HkuuUI excite iu the breast of every true-hearted
son ofthe South, feelings of the deepest indig
nation, aud the most determined opposition,
Resolved, That we recognize among mankind
iu all ages and all countries (except whero par
ties may bo hushed by absolute despotism,) two
n artics in politics, to which all others may
iced, viz : on the oneohaiid, tho party of
special previlego und monopoly, seeking unjust
dominion over their feliow-creatnros, through
artful contrivances; and on the other, tho party
of equal rights to all, exclusive privilege to none,
binding tho rich nnd tho poor together by Ihe
fraternal tip of political equality—that repudia
ting the principles ofthe great Absolutist or Con
servative party of Christendom, nnd sympathizing
deeply with our Democratic brethren iu Europe
their struggles for Free Government, wo can
but mourn for their defeats, nnd rejoice in their
triumphs.
Resolved, That this Convention view as a great
national calamity the death of our distinguished
fellow-citizen JAMES K. POLK, Ex-President
ofthe United States, whose.statesmanlike abili
ties, exalted moral worth, and eminent public
services, hnve won for him the lusting admira
tion and gratitude of his countrymen.
Resolved, Thut n Committee of five persons
bo appointod by the President of this Conven
tion, whoso duty it shall bo in select a suitable
individual, to deliver at tho State House in Mil-
ledgeville, in November next, a eulogy upon the
life and services of tlie Into lamented Ex-Presi
dent.
After tho adoption of these resolutions some
discussion aroso as to tho proper bnBis of repre
sentation to bo recommended in future conven
tions, which resulted ia tlio almost unanimous
adoption of tho following resolution:
Rcsoleed, That wo recommend that tho basis of
representation in future Conventions, be one to
each County for the Senate and two for each
Representative, to be estimated according to tho
present basis of representation iu the Legis
lature.
Resolutions were then passed returning thanks
to the officers of tho Convention, and for tho
publication ofthe proceedings in tho Democratic
papers. Tlio Convention thereupon adjourned
with three cheers for tho Democracy. As I said
this morning, oil is bright.

he justified from tho fact that Democrats held all
the offices. . ^ .
This excuse having fulled thorn, from tho fact
that many YVhigs Itavo been holding ollices uu
der nil our administrations, the next pica is, that
Jefferson, Jackaonmid Polk have removodYVliigo
from office.
Thus, thou, has there been flliuflling, subter
fuge, und prevarication, to sustain a man who
has committed a wilful and premeditated false
hood ih declaring thut he would allow no party
feeling to govern his appointing power, but that
he would make “honesty, capacity nnd fidelity,”
tho standard for tho bestowal of ollice, and their
ubseuco tho “cause for removal,” (Seo Inaugu
ral.) In the face of this declaration, ofu dozen
other similar declarations, before declaration, und
the declaration of such men ns Crittenden and
Clayton, is it to be wondered at that the suppor
ters of Taylor should fiud themselves driven to
the moat contemptible shifts aud evasions to jus
tify his course. _
Air. Clayton intended to be very severe when
he spoke of “the last refuge ofa scoundrel.” It
is langunge which mny bo used by tnen claiming
all tbo decency, but never could have originated*
from u Democratic senator. It is uow a suitable
time for Whig orators and Whig presses to tell
us what is the last refuge of a scoundrel, if a vio
lation of all sacred obligations, and the treachery
of a Parthian fuith aro to be tlio. subjects of their
justification 1
A Good One.—Tlio Hartford (Conn.) Ga
zette, tells tjie following good one, which well
hits off tho practice of running ourselves down
that others may bo induced to compliment.
Very few, as in the caso of the pious Mr. H., thut
would like to bo token at their word.
In a village not n dozeii tnifes from Hartford,
tho members of a religious society wore in the
habit of holding prayer meetings m the church,
in which they made a kind of confession, com
monly called, “ telliug one’s experience.” A
very pious member ofthe flock, Mr. 1L, some
times invited Mr. P. f who wns not a member, to
attend Ihe “experience meetings.” At ono of
these, Mr. II, in relating his experience, stated
that he was a great sihucr—that he had Binned
duily, and with his eyeB open—wilfully and
knowingly sinned—that goodness dwelt not in
his heart—that ho was absolutely depraved—and
that nothing but the boundless mercy and infinite
goodness of Jehovah, manifested through the
atoning blood of tho redeemer, could save him
from eternal perdition. Mr. P., who had acci
dentally been pluced upon tlio “anxious seat,”
wns called upon after his neighbor II. ended, to
rolute his “experience.” He arose and with
great gravity, said he had very littlo to say of
himself; but the brethren would remember, that
lie had lived for twenty-five yenra tho next door
neighbor to Air. II., that lie knew him well, nnd
it gave him great pleasure (because he could do
it with entire sincerity) to confirm the truth of
ell brother H. had conlessed of himself!" YVlien
Air. P. sat down under tho smilo of the whole
congregation, the worthy parson not excepted,
Air. II. wont up to him and said, “You aro a
rascal and a liar, and I'll lick you wlieu out of
church.”

PnESENT STRENGTH UF THE ENGLISH AND
French Navies.—From published lists it ap
pears that tho French have eight sail of the liuo
in commission, whilst in the Euglish fleet there
are 12 eea-goirtg, lino-bf-buttlu ships. Of the
French list of eight, five are three-deckers, two
of them aro 90 gun ships und ono of 86 guns;
whereas of tho twelve sail of tho EnglMi list,
only three aro three-deckers, ono ouly is a 90
gun ship, four ure 84’s, and one is au 80, oue
mounts 78 guns, aud the other two aro the old
72 gun class, nnd moreover, two are iu tho homo
norts with only ono half their full couiplimouta.
Tho French have eight heavy frigates—one of
60, ono or 52, two of 50, otio of 4G, aud throe
of 40 guns. Iu our sca-going force afloat, wc
have only eight first and secoud class frigates, of
which two only are of 50 guns, two of 42, one
of 40, arid three of 36. Tlio total number of
guns curried by thb French frigates 388—curred
by the English frigates, is 332. Tho totul num
ber of guus carried by the French 16 liue-of-bat-
Uo ships and frigates is 1214; the totul number
carried by the British line-of-baltle ships and
frigates is r 1404, showing u difference* in mvor'df
tho latter of' only 190 guns. The aggregate
number of men preponderates in favor of tho
Freuch. The French : i)iipsbf the line ore con
centrated in the Mediterranean; the English
ships of the line in,the 'Mediterranean are only
six; and of| the others ono is in the Pacific,
another in Chinn, aud a third in the West Indies.
At home, therefore, we have only one ship of
tho line more than the French have at this Umo
in commission. -'i. i
