SAVANNAH, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 80, 1840. Wiwlo No. 81. FUR THE GEORGIAN. N°. V. From the seige of F«rt Meigs. *o humiliating to American pride," I turn” in the word* of Christie, •• to a more cheering *ccnc.” which if it did not re trieve the reputation of Harrison, establish! the f-u i beyond doubt that nis want of success was nut fnun any lack of bmvety in tho troops under hi* command. Before I give an account of the brilliant defence of Fort Sandusky, sometimes called Fori Stephenson, it will l»e necessary in order to continue the series of the lending facts of Harrison’* cam paign, to notice a few events subsequent to the •eige of Fort Meigs. So soon as the British had retired from For* Meigs. General Hatrison left the command of tlmt post to General Clay, and immediately repaired to .upper Sandusky. Here wa* a consuleiahlo forre of regular* and volunteers ami after giving it a direction, he con centrated the greater part of hi* force, including most of the regular*, which had been at the seige oi Fort Meigs, about the lower Sandusky bay. Proctor after bi* return from Fort Meigs, waited •ome time at Malden for the re-enforcement* prom- i*ed him by Sir George Provost; but as the Amrri. tan* had possession of both *ide*ofth« Niagara, it wsa not until the Utter part of July that the re-en. forrement could be sent, nnd then, a* Sir George wa* hardly pressed on that frontier, he could *pare so mope than 400 men. The American Squadron at Erie under Perry wa* fitting oat with all expedition und tins boats building «• Cleveland under the direction of Major Jesup for transporting our troop# across the lake to Mal den were daily increasing in number. Tha British saw tbe necessity of an imroedinte Taitack while our squadron was not in sufficient for- waidnesato defend itself; and on the llihJuly, Sir George Provost gave Prodor orders to make the attack, and-General D* Rottenbere on ih 18th ordered Commodore Barclay to cooperate with Frecter. See Armstrong, pp 228 9. The latter ; », moo a* he could leave Malden in safety, set fur ward by watar on tha intruded expedition, with • such regular and militia force as he bad at band, mnan«tag to near 1U00 effective together with ^huot 3000 Indians. To mask bis'design, and aa a mere feint. Proctor beseigrd wo the tins 2*id July Fort Mrig* a second txar, expecting to draw Harrison forward to its t, and *f course further from the intended wnt of attack. ■ring be would advance, Proctor sent f«. irb aasvli 2000 Indians into tlie swamps which I between positi-m and Knit a* an amtarcade.

Thus far all aermed propitious to Proctni’* ulti. mate *ucre*a and nothing esrenrial had oceurre.1 to mar hia plan*. Harrison, at hi* approach, had fill* len back to his entrenched camp at Seneca, thereby acknowledging his inability to act offensively, ami and leaving tin- lake shore open to the enemy'* en - terpriaes ttgain*t our naval utmanteni further down the lake. But hen* the scene eltnnge* { fur one of h<»«e incident* occurred which often decide not only battle* and rnmpttipn*, but even the fate of em pires, nnd arrested III* further progret*. This wa* the act of n young hem who had tbe temerity in an old wooden furtilirarion with Ifil) men to despise the tamo enemy with a superior force, which his General ninety duysltefore inanaw furtifiention, with 2000 men, had manifested so much tlread of. Major Crnghan. a young man nf 21 year*, with 150 men, nil voting like himself, wn* placed in com mand of thi* era*) old fort, ten or eleven day* be fore the enemy’s ap|tearance before it. Why a youth should have been selected fur this difficult post, is a ptizxle, unlevs hi* lighting propensities had become offensive to hi* sedentary General, nnd hi* exile to a distunes', necessary tu tho repose uf hi* commander. Croghan wns no sooner in rommand of thi* post, than he with the forccaset of a veteran of an hundred battle*, commenced to improve it* defence*. For decayed pickets, he anhstituted new ones—<uch a* were lose, he fastened, and dug a deep wide ditch entirely around his fortification. Another mean more jndiciojs and important than these, \va«, lit* clearing nwny nil trees and underwood, within 200 yards, by which he deprived the British when they arrived, of all assistance from their Indian*. In thus adopting his means of defence to the enemy to be opposed; the military forrenste of thn young hem wns conspicuous. The labor performed oiuld be incredible, whs the fact unknown, tliul lie and his youthful band wutki-d day and night, and yut all intended was nut done, when the enemy ur- rived. In the afternoon of the 1st August. n» already mentioned, Proctor appeared before the fort. His first measure was to suiround the fort with hi* Indian*, nnd tbe next to summon Cntghnn to sutrender. The ni| ly of thelalterwaa. tlmt he was determined to defend hi* fort to tlso last extremity* Proctor, during tho passage of tho flag, was bu»y landing his nrt'ller?, nnd ns', anon n* Croghan’* unswer wua received, commenced bombarding the f»rt front hi* gunboats, and caun>uiading it from on shore, which continued through the whole night, with little injury to tho besieged. The next morn, ing, he opein d upon the fort, a tii e front a six pound battery, within 250 yards, which he imd erected during the night. The fire u, un the fort wa* in cessant during most of the day; but at 4 o’clock, P. M., the whole fire wa* concentrated on the North western angle. Croghan from thi*, underslu'd the inti-ndcd point of attack, and hastened to strength en that angle by bags uf flour, sand nnd such uther material* a* he had at hand. At 5 o'clock, the British were discovered, advancing in solid column to assault the expected angle.—at tho same time making two feints, oi o'her ungle*. Their main column, of about 350 ra-n, wn* so enveloped in smoke, that it had advanced within fifteen or twen ty paces of i lie work before it wns discovered. The party within, being at their post, now commenced so heavy and well directed u fire, os to throw t|ie Mssailants into some confusion. These however, being quickly raided, advanced to the works, nnd Itegan lu leap into the ditch; it tlmt critical nioinent ( a concealed embrasure in tlm fort was opened, nnd n *ix pounder, charged with huff a load of powder and n double load nr grope ami slug- wn* discharged, within 30 or 40 fret uf the assailants, raking the whole diich. and with so much effect, that with the constant discharge fiom musketry, the enemy wns cnmpelk d to retreat to the Woods, with thp greatest precipitancy—leaving their leader, Colonel Short, and near 150 killed and wounde I. and spreading such error among the Indians, thnt most of them left immediately. Proctor continued the bombard ment anil cannonading of the fort, hut in the fore pint of thoni-ht, he withdrew as many of the de-id nnd w ounded from the ditch, n* he was able to do hy the aid of Ids Indinns, nnd nt 3 o’clock in the morning, left Fuit Sandusky foi Malden. Thu* was saved, hy the brovnry of thi* young hero ami hi* companions, tho squadron of Perry for future glory, and 500 miles of lake coast, from In dian butchers ami devastation. Crogliau’* noble hearing during the whole seige, in*piied every one under him with confidence ami courage, and daring the two nights nnd a dny of cons'nnt bombardment and wntcliine, Ids vigilance nnd fortitude were ex amples for tho imitation of hi* companions. His victory need* no gorgeous trappings—in it- own simple greatness, it stands n victory nntuscell ed in brilliancy by tlmt of any other c untry. Hi* |.hu during the thirty six hours of b'lmbnrdmvni, wns one killed and seven slighily woundad. Here my narrative recur* to Harrison. It has already been seen that Hnrrison on the fiist approach of Proctor retreated to his entrenched camp at Seneca, nine mile* at-ove Fort Sandusky. Here he held n council of wur, at which some of his principal officers were present. He stated to the council, that the enemy’s force wa* tipwnrds of 5000 fighting men with a large train of artillery- Litd as a conjecture thnt his ultimate object was the entrenched camp they now occuyied. Upon this statement «-f facts and conjecture a majority con. curred with him, that it wns expedient to collect and destroy the stores, and to effect an immediate retreat to tbe upper Sandusky. I have In former numbers had occasion to speak of Harrison’s constant over estimate of tbe enemy’s numbers, as in this instance, for something less than four thousand, he estimated it to' be upwards of five thousand. Let tne sav here once and for all, that if Harrison did not know the actual force of the enemy, regular, militia and Indian, it was inex cusable ignorance. For the French population about Malden and Detroit were friendly to the Americans, and hotitile the British—many of them had been Indian traders, *p»ke their languages fluently, were personally acquainted with the warrior*. He had therefore only to have availed himself of tliefr services, to know the number of Indian warriors to a man: tbe regulars might have been counted, and a« to ihe militia, it was known that if called out en matte, they could nut exceed 500 effectives. In truth. Harrison, ever after the battle nl Tippeca noe, appears to have *e«n double whenever Tecum, srh’s name was mentioned, and to have thought i| no tm 'll merit to keep out of the wuy ol this red devil. But to return: The retreat of Hatrison would bsva commenced forthwith but for the Coon cr action giwn to it by Croghan, which will bo noticed to its p'aen. S ty* Armstrong, while commenting on Har. risun'a conduct at thi* moment—"Having sufficient, ly assured Itlmrelf with regard to the numlter and equipment of Proctor’* force, ami suspecting that thi* formidable array might I e directed against In* own entrenched camp, be determined to tollrrl and 4enr»jf bit tne/iln* t tor ft abandon bit prtt- tut fOtUlnn. and make good a retreat lo C'ppei Bandntkf, tat via j t» tl# fate tha* mirbt |Uvu>» lb» eellfr otenlf on (In toviiuru »lnn* take; the hunt* built and store*collected nt Cleave* land, and Peny's fleet then fitting out and nearly ready for service at Kile.” "But though willing and prepared tn make these sacrifices,* he could nothin perceive that a mere pre sumption uf danger to hi* own camp, would not jus*, iffy the abandonment of Croghan'* detachment, without »on« effort an hi* port lo extend to it the event mil security ha sought for himself On this point, however, the General's sense of duty was soon satisfied”. Proctor hnd been expected three ir four days before he arrived at Sandusky, nnd Harrison believing that ^an Investment of thnt post ulrondy existed, dispatched to Croghan n second or der, commanding him to set fire lo Fort Sandusky, and repair to Henr Quarter* that niihl, but, If he ihoiild find it impracticable to mnke good his march to Seneca, to tnkolhe road to Huron | but thnt hu should retreat 'at all knsariU' nine miles through »wood which ho supposed filled with Indians - while be himself took no tlep to cover, or other, trite tnttain the movement. Armstrong says, in relation to thi* order—"n* If the tn*k thn* imposed wn* nnt. in itself, s'ldir'endy perilous, he further prescribed—thnt thn Garrison, instead of employ ing ull possible means lo mask the operation*, thnuld begin by netting fire to their ttoret nnd bntrnekt, nnd thus viitimlly announce their inten- ion to the surrounding enemy.” This second order, Crghnn, by the ndvicp of hi< officers, refused lo «,lwy. The next dny ho wns ur- rested and cnrried.to Head Quarters, nnd detained some hmir*t but ns the General ntlw, probably by advice of Captain Wood, consented thnt he should try his fortune in its defence, ho wns returned to Ids command a little before it* nctunl investment. Fee Duncan's letter. Perhaps, there wn* another consideration which had influei ce—the Sandusky, by wutei, covered his post nt Senecn, and a brave d>’fence of the first, might deter the nnemy from at tacking the latter Bcsi Ins, his officers had net- been unanimous for a retieat,hn hesitated, nnd was .nved by Croghuu's victory, frutn u disgraceful flight. But a victory obtained like Croghnn’s, while the General Imd his stores piled up for conflagration 5 nnd to commence n disgraceful flight,ho only wait ed for the arrival, or for the news of the destruction of the youthful hero, wns well known tonll the army. Nor wns it forgotten, ilinl the General, though hav ing n large regular force wl.h him,and within hear ingof the cannon, made no movement, either tn sustain the little parly, or to intimidate the enemy. Every mad from the army carried details uf the uf- fair to the adjoining States.

Ohio led rite wnv in clamor ugalnst Hnrritmn. nnd the army wus almost in a state of mutiny, at the thought of the disgrace that hnd been proposed for it. Tn this extremity, when the army from its di*|»o. sition to throw off the authority of its General, wns ubmit to be duprived of n head, Harrison, through the members of his military family, mnde npplicn tion to Croghan. "Tho good nf his country," they said, " required flint tho commander should, durin*; tho present cumpnign, stand well with the country and army, but that nt the end of it, ull should bese 1 in its true light.” Hit patriotism and his sympathy also were touched; and ho readily, without reading them, signed letters und u-Jdressus which they hud written. Harrison now pretends, thnt he had always la** iievnd in the ability of Croghan to defend Sandusky nguinst Proctor, whh a force which he i-stimniL-d to bo upwards of 5000 men. But that such wns not his opinion, ho hirn-elf furnlilicd the strongest proof, boih prb.rlo and contemporaneously with the defence. 1 will first give an extract from his letter toihe Secretary of War, dated 21st April.previous: ‘ Butin the event of their film enemy j landing at Lower Sandusky, thalpotl cannot be saved. I will direct i , in such an event, to b« evacuated.— The stores there nre not of much nonscquonce, ex cepting 5IJ0 stand of nrms, which I will cause to be removed as soon ns the roads aid practicable—at present it i* impossible." Yet into thi* fort, whose defence* ho had done nothing to improve and something to impair, wiih- out promising or intending to support it, lie thi u-t Croghan with 150 U. $. Irjfaniry, with only one imull piece,if cannon, (six pounder,) seven cunnon cutridgos, and forty cut ridges for small arms, and of course without ittnuniiion to repel repented as sault «,or to stand n 'ongsiaaa, with order*/e maintain the post, unless the enemy landed in force with cannon, in which event torelreat, if retreat should then be practicable." And if retreat should be impracticable, this gullum band wns devoted as n consequence, to thn Indian sculping knife. Harrison in his letter after the victory to the Se cretary of war, says—" In my former litter (refer ring to the above extract) I informed you sir, tha t tlmt the post of lower Sandusky could not bo defen- led against heavy ennnun.” Yet he did not men- tion cannon in that letter as the extract shows, nnd which is all of that letter which refers to lower Sandusky In this lust letter he says too, “In the course of the 2d instnot, having heard tlm cannon*' ding, I made several attempts to ascertain the foi re and situation of tho enemy. Our scouts were unable to get near the Fort from the Indians thnt surroun ded it. Finding, however, that the enemy had onlt/ light artillery, and bring well convinced that it could make little impression upon the works, that any altampt to storm it would lie resisted with effect, 1 waited for the artival of 250 mounted vol unteers.” Now niHfk—independent ly of the incredible story of his having been aide to distinguish at nine miles distance the report of 5jJ inch howitzers, often dis charged simultaneously with cannon, from 12 to 18 pounders, such wn* the agony uf his despair, that ha was frequently heard to exclaim during the can nonudo, "the blood be upon his own head (Crog Itan’a) I wash my hands of it.” Ever since Crnghnnfo victory, Harrison lm* been his s,-cret enemy; thu greater tlm debt of gratitude thu more anxious he has been lo expunge it by cal umny. So much Imwever has been published lately that I need not enlarge and but for their recent publica tion would ben propernppendix to this. In closing this number, I will give en extract from a letter to thn editor of the Zansvilie Messenger, dated September, 1812. " Harrison promised the Indian* protection, at thn same time assuring them n Innguuge which struck terror to all heaits, that the name ufun Indian Too should not long b«* known amengus—that the American army will be no Ion. gcr commnhdud by a« old woman."

Mr. Webster, In tho iato Bunker Hill Declaration, reiterates tho ahurrcful n*s«-rtlnns of the modern JVAfg party, thnt tlm tm-nsurea of the Administra tion have paralyzed the industry of the counfty, prostrated commerce, reduced wages, Ate., Ate.; by dcrlnring as his belief, and that uf tho whig* of 1340: " That In order to maintain tho principles unnn which tho system of tlm Sub-Treasury is founded, iIip friend* of thn administration have been Ipd to espouse opmb-na destructive of the eonn'ry. pninl- yzing to iis whole industry, tending to sink Its Inboi limb In price and In rhnrnrier, ,Vcf., Ate.” Now, if tliia assertion bn correct, why do we nut see evfery merchant in tlm lumTupposod lathe adminis tration? - . . . But this is not so; many high minded, intelligent moicluints approve uf tha policy of the administra tion, nnd ure piepuredtu give it llioir hearty support. The N. Y. Evening I* *t of Tuesday Inst, notice* tlm happy method bit upon by thu Wldg prints, of explaining the present revival nf business to inuke it support their fnvorlte theory, that the country it ruined. They find business reviving abd they must account for it, in tluir way'.o, the old stale ciy that the country it ruined, will have to be abandoned. Hear tlm Baltimore Amuiicon: " The cause uf tlm present briskness—what i»lt? If the enquiry is tnudo ofbusinesa men, they will reply that the prospect, now certain, of General Harrison’* election, hn* given tilings n new sjnr Lot the belief become pro volant that the pre-ent administration will be continued, nnd un instanta neous depression would take place ” Again: “ Thu trading community have teamed hy sad experience that ihev uro tu expect nothing at the hands of the administration but i mburrassment and oppression. If lift) and activity nre returning to business it i* not by reason of any tiling which the ndministration has done; it results Irum the belli f ihntjhoadministrutiuu is lu be cliuugtd—ond that ipeedtly." • The Evening Post observe-:— “This urgument les-mbles whutis called a whip row on the old game uf twelve rm-ii-niuri is; there is no escape for the Democratic party, which ever nl- t'-riiaiive you tuke. ll'ou the urn- hum! uo business is done, thn country it ruined of course; if on the other, business is active, it is only a proof that the country is ruined, and the pi ople are sensible of it. “But we must suggesttothe Baltimore American that it does nut appear quite tu understand the slate nf feeling among commercial men. Here, in New York, a very decided change has taken place ill their opinions. The ferocity of their opposition in moat cases is gone und in . ninny instances it hus been converted tu ebsuluio approbation of the pol icy of thn administration and its friends. Were it nottiiat we have no right to bting tho names of private individiml* before the public, we could men tinn many persons nf great eminence in our com merer, nut long since tbe enemies, but now tbe friends nf tlie independent Iren-ury scheme. We could give tbe nnme* uf others, who from being the most implacable haters of the democratic adminis tration, are now become extremely moderate and temperate In their opposition, A new set of mcr chants have a Iso sprang up, among whom are many democrats, ami otiiera’are far from being imbued with the bitter prejudices that were so prevalent in their class a year or two since, . In fuel, there has not been a time since the y»ur 18,33, when the mcr canlile community stood *a well affected towards tlie administration as now. It is nut a fact that there lain tlm mercantile world a strong desire for the eketionof Harrison. On the contrary, there is great ooldness towards his cause, n ft eling of un- certainty|o* to the measures he will pursue, and a doubt whether Ids policy will not disturb thnt hap py regularity to which the treda ami business uf the country under tlie auspice* uf tha present national policy nre tnanift ally tending. It is. ridiculous un der such ciicumstance* to say that tho revival of bus iness is occasioned by the hope that Harrison will be i-lected.
