Trembling ’fore tho foe?

With their dearest rights assail.
When a despot's power provnilo
Bowed they to him? No!

Borne before your sires to save,
And to make them free;
Strike it from their venal hand,

thoonomj's batteries massed the
number of 100 guns also the greater
part of their infantry, massed at the
same point.
lhe assault was made under posi
tive order; and whether issued wise-

ed. 'J’iic position was carried in
tiic very jaws 01 this appalling lire,
and held for half an hour before
Breckinridge fell back.
