The two armies having formed n junction proccedetl to Snvnnnnh, nnd sat down before the town. with the laurels ol I Grenada fretdi on his brow, scot a haughly sumtnims in the name of the King of France to the English tfinnmandcr to surrender. I’t e vosl inevitably Inst without some little delay, protracted the correspondence its long its be could, and then demanded twenty-four hours to consider the proposition, which l>'E*taing madly granted. Had lie immediately advan ced on the place it would have been an easy conquest, fur the fort ilicntions were in bail re pair—but a few ol the cannon being mounted and the garrison small. During this interval, Prevest worked on the defences without inter mission, and at the entl of the twenty-four hours, hud nearly a hundred cannon lining the ramparts. Maitland had also arrived, with ilia choice troops, thus swelling hi* army to 1 three thousand men. He now felt himself strong —the arguments which had influenced his determination were of the most forcible kind, nnd he sent to D’Estuinga polite note, saying he had resolved to hold out to the last. To attempt to carry the works by storm, strengthend an they now were, would be mad ness; and so the French commander and Lin coln. with an army of six or seven thousand men, sat belore them in regular siege. The trenches were opened, and amid the (ire of ar tillery. the workmen toiled with such vigor, thut by the fourth of September a snp had been pushed to within three hundred yards of the ahattis. At length the batteries were completed, and the night of the iourth of Oc tober the tragedy commenced. The autumn landscape was lighted up by the constant nnd it wosa peul of thunder till morn ling. The uproar tnen became still more ter- I ritic —thirty-seven cannon nnd nine mortars ! were opened at once upon the devoted town, , while sixteen guns from the fleet —making in | tdl more than sixty pit i es —kept up their stern accompaniment. To their deluge of iron, the garrison replied with nearly a hundred can non. The earth shook under these tremendous explosions, and a vast field of billowy smoke trembled and hovered above the tumult.— Carcasses were hurled into the town which set the houses on fire ; and crackling timbers mingled in the crash of cannon balls. Shells smoked and burst along the streets, or hang ing a moment like fiery messengers in the air. and dropped with an explosion on the dwel lings. Amid the uproar and thunder without and the shrieks of women and children within. Savannah presented a strange and fearful ap pearance. And when night cumc on, and darkness shut in the landscape, the scene wits still more appalling. The smoke refused to lift the damp air, and settled like a fog over the armies,adding a deeper gloom to the midnight. Through this the artillery kept playing, making the spot on which it rcs'ed appear, like a volcano; while in the distance a rnassof flame would suddenly flash up, re vealing the tall masts and rigging of ships ami then the deep echo roll heavily by. Through this thirk and turbulent atmosphere, shells were constantly lusting and bursting, leaving long tracks ol light in their passage or meteor-iike splender in their explosion. And when the Eun rose in the morning it came struggling up through a sulphurous cloud, and at evening its golden rays strove in vain to pierce the sullen told*. Thus day ami night for five days did it thunder, and clatter, and 1 flame there on the shores of the Savannah ; but still the besieged nobly maintained their post. At length D'Estuiiig began to be concerned lor his fleet. The stormy season was coming on, and it would not he safe to ride ut unci or on the open const, and he therefore proposed to Lincoln to carry the works by storm. — This was considered hazardous; for that five days’cannonade had opened no breach and battered down scarcely a defence which had not been fully repaired. Besides if the siog. were press. .1 a little longer, the town must. nr- I render. The sufferings of the inhabiiantshau i become intolerable any the resistance could not he protracted in their confined and strait ened condition. But twenty days had now e lapscd since operations’ first commenced, and no one could tell how long the place might holdout. The season, moreover was rapidly I advancing, nnd dangers of every kind were j | thickening around the (feet, and therfore a cri sis of some sort must be hastened. D’Estamg being resolved on an assault, it only remained to determine (he manner in which it should be conducted. He and Lin coln, after a short consultation, concluded to make an attack on the right ride of the t wn. where there was a deep hollow along which the assailants could inarch pe, f i tly covered till within u few rods of the walls. The ninth of October was fixed on for the attempt, and the Americans stood in order af battle, though the French did not take their station till three hours after. At length the flower of both nr mics, in one long column, stretched forward till they reached the open space in front of the works when they brokaolf ioto their several divisions, as arranged before hand and ad vanced on the respective points to which they were destined. The French advanced in three columns—the Americans in one—lVEs taing and Linen!.i leading them on. In the darkness they got confused in the swampy hol lows but as the gray light began to dawn in the east they formed anew, and pressed for ward. D’Estatng wishing to take the garri son by surprise, immediately spurred up to the head ol the first column, and without wait ing for the others to come up. waved his sword over his head, and shouted “advance.”— Straight on the abut tin. and through it —up to the very walls, and up their sides, streamed the excited troops, while those hundred can non were opened mthr twilight, like a peal of thunder, and one fierce fire of musketry rolled down on their heads. Still, “ Advance! ad vance !”’ rung along the shattered column, nnd I still D’F.ci.ung cheered them on,till struck to j the earth, he was borne wounded from the ! field. But nothing could withstand that de- ■ luge of grape-shot and hall; and the first eol- I umn riddled into fragments swerved from the j horrible storm, and wheeled away into the ‘ cover ol the woods. The second, however, j coming up, passed rapidly over their dead com- j pauioiis. and with shouts that were heard a- { Dove the deafening uproar, gallantly mounted 1 the walls. Around a reduobt on tile Kberiezer rood the struggle and tile carnage were awful. Again and again did this firm-set wall of liv j mg men move on that wall of stone nnd earth, and taking tiff- loads of grape shot in their bosoms, rush shouting on the guns. Mowed down ns 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 Imrserneo were seen with a li-nrless rider ut their head gulluping straight lor the entrance to the town, in order to gain the ene my's rear. That wu* Pulaski, the noble, tin chivalrie Pole, and his strong cavalry. With their suhres shaking and Hashing amid the smoke, they rode steadily through the fiery sleet shouting as they went, until their gal hint leader, struck by a swivel shot wa hurl ed mangled ami bleeding lo the earth—when they broke and fled. The second column, too, at length recoiled, 1 luid then the third, und lust, closed in over the pavement of dead bodies ; but still that same deluge of tiro rolled over them, und the ranks shook, and reeled, and disappeared in the cov ering smoke, us if they had been mere visions winch the first breath could dissipate. Tin uproar was terrific; mid the heavy peals oft* VOL. XXV.—No 2G. artillery shaking the earth —the incessant roar ol musketry, mingled with the maddened shouts of near ten thousand warriors, and all in the morning twilight, conspired to render it a sceny of appalling grandeur. But death anil carnage are nothing to the excited pas sions of men; and that last broken column stormed on, until, at last, it. turned discom fitted hack. In the midst of this deadly con flict the American column, with tiie chival rous Laurens at its head, pressed straight, on the .spring Hill redoubt, and crowding into the ditch in the lace ol a tremendous tire, en deavored to scale the ramparts. But the par apets were too high; und hurled buck, rank after rank, and mowed down with merciless slaughter, they recoiled on each other in inex tricable confusion. I lie brave .South Carolina regiment, re gardless of the fate ot their companions and ol tli iron storm that emote them down, pressed fiercely lorward, and soon tiie two standards presented to it at Fort Moultrie, were seen waving on the ramparts. Vain val or I—the besieged, seeing the fury of the at tack had slackened, sallied lurtli with loud huzzas, arid swept the walls and ditches.— 1 in n thr ill-hited Laurens, seeing hib troops ruuti and flung awny his sword, and with his noble sou. wrung with the bitterest anguish, stretched forth his arms a” ‘ prayed for death, and refused to stir till forced away by his com panions. Close beside him, in the ditch. lay that model of a soldier—the tender, the lion hearted Jasper, hugging his standard in dentil and burying his bloody fare in its folds, lip liiid declared he would never surrender it but with his life; nud there with his heart’s blood ebbing slowly away, he stretched him self upon it. i la- strife was over and that bleeding army rolled slowly hack from the ruddy and black ened ramparts. But what a scene that Oc tober morning presented ! The conflict had lasted only a littleover an hour.and yet there lay over a thousand French and Americans, bleeding or stark and stiff in death. (Six hundred and thirty-seven French, and four hundred and fifty-seen Americans.) Here was a solitary limb—there a disembowelled body and headless corpse, while the diich looked us ii a Hood had suddenly wafted a dead multitude into it. Around the Ebenezer redoubts the blood was seen flowing in rills from out the wrecks ot the fight, and gather ing in deep pools amid the heaps of the slain, while the most pitiful groans loaded the air. And over all this like a pall, hung a cloud of smoke, which had settled down upon the field and was slowly twining itself into funtusii • el.apes above the dead. Dark, and sombre, and awful, spread the field under this sul phurous canopy. At last the bright sun rose over the sea, and the. morning wind, breaki ig from its sleep stirred the slumberous folds of that murky curtain, till they slowly lilted and rolled upward, leaving the blue sky to look down on the ghastly spectacle. The dew glistened in the early light, but the red drops ol the human heart outnumbered them a thou sand to one. AViJe piis were dug, and (lie dead crowded i hastily into them—and when the October sun went to his evening repose, nothing buttle trampled and still ruddy earth, and broken muskets and dead steeds, remained to tell of the direful struggle. D Lstuing had tailed; and precipitately . raising the siege, embarked his troops and ar tillery, and put otl to sea. Lincoln, his mili tia having disbanded, took with him his tew \ remaining regulars and crossed over the Su | vannah and retired to Charleston. Prompted 10 this undertaking hy tiie general complaint timt our allies were effecting nothing—Lt'Es , taing undertook it hastily, then became cau tious and dilatory when haste would have ! brought success, and finally crowned tin i whole by a rash act, which ended in a signal defeat and dreadful slaughter. The British. | protected hy high ramparts, suffered compar i ativcly little. The whole blame of this un lucky affair rests on D’Estaing, who hy right, j at seniority, took the supreme command.— I Lincoln seconded him ably, When he found he could not alter his plans, and rather gained than lost in public estimation by the disastrous result. Woman. i VV ornan. from her infancy to old age, is an I object o! constant interest; and is it not strange that a being so tender, and yet so lull of en dearments should have called lorth the ad ministration ot the philosopher, and the fervid praises ol the poet Iler history is but the nar rative ol good deeds —in health she is our pride, in disease our solace, and, in tire faith ful discharge of her duty to society, she is tiro idol ol every heart. Like a ministering angel, sooths us in aflietion; and under the dt pressing influences of adversity, she inspires hope, and incites to renewed ettort. Who has not felt the cheering influence of her smiles, and the encouragement of her eloquence in the dark hour ol despondency 1 Abandoned by friends, and lell to the cold charities of a selfish and heartless world, the husband ofher bosom then knows how to appreciate the depths of her love, and the sincerity of her v ows. As wife, mother sister, —in a word in every situation in life virtuous, is the kind and last friend of man. Is it therefore not due to this rtlf-siic riticing being, that we. who know so well bow to value her excellence, should labor assidu ously to diminish the suffering mid assuage those aorrowa incident to her sex. A Sentinel's Soliloquy. Mr. Polk in danger. —The Xenia (O) Torch Light*pub!ishcs a letter from a return ed volunteer who belonged to tile SJt. Louis Legion, from which we extract the following anecdote; One night during the four day's ruin, I was standing sentinel half leg deep in the water. It was a night not easily forgotten— such sheets of vivid lightning, such hursts of loud thunder, such roaring groans of wind and rain I never before experienced. It was as dark aa a recess in Orecn river cuve. About 2 o’rlork in the morning, I heard a splashing along in the water,’and hailed. It proved to be t apt. Salisbury, officer of the day. and Lieuteliunt West officer of the grand rounds. After passing me they found the next senti nel hut one engaged in enrncst conversation with hmiselt m winch he appeared so inters ted thut he did not hear them approach. They had the curiosity to listen to the soldo qay. ‘A cs.’ said !>• when I voted lor James K. Polk, had I known it would have led to this, I’d have set ii him to the and 1, mid Texas sunk first.-—But after the war was brought on | was ashamed to let the Whigg do the fight ing, arid stay at homo and he taunted bv them. I was obliged toconie ktt vonsi. tency* sake ; but if I hud you here James K. I’olk.— here he uttered an awful imprecation on him his musket to take aim. ns if he would shoot sure enough. At this moment the grand rounds made a noise mid were hailed sternly with — •Who conies there V Jmnc. K. Polk, was the reply, ‘Advanceyou cuss, nud give the counter sign. or I’ll blow vour brains out*’ ~ . The officers told the uiiccifpta the next day to the company with great gusto. ‘ Woman’s Love. * The trsssurrsof tin ilecji srejtpf m pr. noss • As th- conosilufenmforts Lock'd up in vvsnws's love. 1 scent ih- :iir (II bl-ssnigs, a-ticn | coins but u< nr die hoosr.
