On Wednesday last a detachment of

at an outpost on Ftfirety Creek, sixteen miles
below Charleston. They were attacked, du
ring the day, by a division of Ohio and India
na troops, twenty-eight hundred strong, and
though tTic assault was vigorous, our men held
tlic post for two hours, when O thoy received a
reinforceiiKTnbof four hundred men. At tliis
time we delivered a couple of rounds of chain
shot inter tlie rftuks of the °invaders wlyeli
wound up the fight. .
The battle was fought in the open field ; our
men unprotected by anything save their firms
and invincible spirit.
The result of the engagement was a lost on

wounded, while, at tke lilvvcst estimate one
hundred and seventy-five of The invaders were
made to bite the dust We also captured two

“that war is 'disunion,” and that if flic TTiion

Ihe following 0 resolutions were unanimously

ot the latter, even unde; the hypocritical pre*-
tence of preserving the fortnet*, are, enemies to

Resolved, ‘l'hat we lirtnly protest against the
attempts mftde, under color of the tyrant’s /x
----cusef “necessity, ’* to consolidate the govern
lmyit, to ualuco the rights of States to subjec
tion, and to rob free white citizens, for whom
this government was formed, of their constitu
tional jights and privileges.
Resolved, That this fDion, being based on
the consent of States and the goiyi will of the
• • •
people, ca*nnot be preserved by tlfe bayonet and
sword of toe soldier, and th*t the*result of con
tinued tstvil war can only be tlie permanent tlis

was a blessing to thef people, and which would
continue to be so throughout* all time* *!’ ad
ministered according to it* true*spirit and in

R> syhvd, *Uliat we charge the awftjl respon

rifice of valuable lives, its lavish waste of trea
sure, and the deadly blow it hasestricken'at our
prosperity as a people—upftn the* agitators in
flic; Northern States, who through the* press
and popular assemblages, and, ntost of all, from
a prostituted, pulpit, have exerted” themselves
to “educate a generation to hate Die South
and who are to-day giyuting over the spectacle
of Americans hounded on to slaughter by the
very parties who are witnesses of the cojAest
but too cowardly to participate in it : That*
the aggressors among tlfe States lgive “ljeen ihe
transgrussors*of the of .the Union ;.and
that.upon the heads of the Anti-Slavery •fanat
ics and demagogues of theVNortli, who are
playing into the hands of equally unscrupulous
•men in thejSouth, rest the crimes of fratricide,
bloodshed and treason against the liberties of
the people and. the Union of the,States.
Resolved, That the suppression of the *writ
.of habeas corpus by irresponsible soldiery,
through the orders of “the Executive; llic-seiz
ure of respectful without color of
law by the police of New York ; the unlawful
increase of the standing army ; the stoppage of
newspaper presses in .Missouri; the incarcera
tion of citizens without warrant, and the sys
tematic attempts made to repress tree speech
by the tools of the President, meet Our sever-,
est condemnation, and cannot be cured by the
passage of Iffws which are themselves equally
unconstitutional, and therefore void and of no
effect.
Resulted, That the whole course of Die Ex
ecutive, and the Congress of the United States
at this instance, betrays a settled purpose to
destroy flic rights oi States and individuals and
valuing the irOedoUi bequeathed to us Ify our
fathers, we are prepared to resist usurped junv
