CTA friend has sclented for this paper, the following
extract from a work well known in this country. “ Mo
dem Chivalry,” by Mr. Dreckenridgo, contains many
valuable reflections; the extract given to-day, may in
duce those who have not read it, to become acquainted
with a work from which pleasure and benefit can be
derived, and in which many cxcentricilies will be found,
as will appear by the following spccimeh.
'EXTRACT.
<• It seems to me, that economy has become :
'parsimony; the opposite extreme of prodigality,
or extravagance. The one is odious ; the other
contemptible. All tax, or no tax. There is
no medium. But no tax, and economy, will as
certainly destroy an administration, as all tax
and extravagance. The meanness of starving
officers, establishments, and improvements, will
attach disreputation to the agents ; and operate
a removal from the body politic itself. But in
all things there is a tendency to extremes. The
popular mind does not easily arrest itself when
descending upon an inclined plane of opinion.
Popular ballads are an index of the public mind.
Hence we see that an arttipalhy to the protec
tive system is thw ton at present, and is the
ruling passion of the time. Yet in this there
may be an excess, for the people are not always
right; unless in the sense of the English law,
that “ the king can do no wrong.” Doubtless,
whatever the people do is legally right; hut yet
not always politically right. For do we not
find, from the voice of history, that those men
■arc thought to have deserved best of their coun
try, who have occasionally withstood the intern
porance of opinion. Self seekers only, “ are
■all things to all men.” Three things are neces
snry to constitute a great man : judgment, for
titude, and self-denial. It is a great thing to
judge wisely. Perhaps this may ho said to
•comprehend the whole ; lot - judging wisely on
; a large scale, will embrace fortitude, and solf
'denial. Hence, in the scripture phrase, bad
'men are called fools. It is but cutting down the
fruit tree to hark in with the popular cry of the
moment. All is gained for the present; but
'■there is nothing for the next year. Such a
'man may get into a public body, but will not
'long retain his sent; or, if he does, ho looses
all in the esteem of the virtuous and the wise.
But I doubt whether the people arc so mad for
a repeal of the protective system. It origi
'hates with those who are conscious to them
selves that they cannot please them hy great
•actions ; and therefore attempt it by small. The
'extreme has been of unnecessary expenditure;
and it is popular to call out economy; which
'the people pleascr gets into his mouth and makes
the shibboleth of just politics. But the peoplc
tpleaser is not always the friend of the people.
Do we find him in war the best general who
'••nsults the ardour of his troops, and fights
when they cry out for battle ? Pompey yielded
to such an outcry, and lost the field of Pharsaliu.
A journal was published in France, by Marat,
kinder the direction, or, with the assistance of
Robespierre, entitled “ L’Ami du Peuple.”
There could not boa more seducing title ; and
■yet this very journal was mo, foe of the people.
I have rto doubt but Marat meant well to the
people ; but he had not an understanding above
the ’public, and judgment to correct the errors
bt occasional opinion. He was of the multi,
tude himself, and did not overtop tiicm by hav
ing higher ground front whence to observe.
Ho had not been a sage before he became a
journalist. Hence he denounced the Girondists,
the philosophers of the republic; Condorcel
and others, Who had laid the foundation of the
revolution. He denounced them because they
suggested a confederate republic, such us Mon
tesquieu projected, and America has realized.
Marat took up the simple, the one and indivisi
ble ; the populace understood this, but not the
complication, and it prevailed ; but the repub
lic went down.
I never had a doubt, but that the bulk of the
' jacobins in France meant well; even Marat
and Robespierre considered themselves ns de
nouncing, and trucidating only the enemies of
the republic. What a delightful trait of virtue
discovers itself in the behaviour of Peregrine,
the brother of Robespierre, and proves that he
thought his brother innocent; “ I am innocent ;
and m\j brother is ns innocent as I am.” Doubt
less they were both innocent. Innocent of
what? Why, of meaning ill. “ The time shall
come when they that kill you, shall think they
are doing God a service.” Peregrine led the
column with his drawn sWord in his hand, that
entered and re-took Toulon. He threw himself
into the denunciation. This ought to be a les
son to all republicans to have charity for those
that differ in opinion. It was the jacobins in
France made Napoleon what he was. Tiberius
and Caius Gracchus at Rome meant well; Agis
and Cleomenes at Sparta the same; but they
attempted to reform well in vision and imagina
tion, but beyond what was practicable or expe
dient, They fell victims to the not distinguish
ing the times, and advanced stage of society,
which did not comport with the original simpli
city of institutions.
HEROIC VALOR OF THE POLES
In Salvaudy’s history of Poland, wo find the
following interesting account of the glorious
victory of Kotzim—the great achievement of
John Sobieski against the Turks :
“ Kotzim is a strong castle, situated 4 leagues
from Kamanick, on a rocky projection which
runs into the Dnieper, impregnable from the
river, and surrounded on the other side by deep
and rocky ravines. A bridge thrown over one
of them, united it to the entrenched camp, where
in Hussein Pacha had posted his army. That
camp, defended by an ancient fieldwork, ex
tended along the hanks of the Dnieper, and was
guarded on the slide of Moldavia, the sole ac
cessible quarter, by precipices cut in the solid
rock, and impassable morasses.—The art of the
Ottomans had added to the natural strength of
the position : the plain was intersected to a great
distance by canals and ditches, whose banks
Were strengthened by pnllisades. A powerful
artillery defended all life avenues to the camp,
and there reposed, under magnificent tents, the
Turkish generalissimo and 80,000 veterans,
when they were suddenly started hy the sight
of the Polish banners, which moved in splendid
array round their entrenchments, and took up a
position almost under the heavy lire of their ar
tillery.
“ Tho spot was animating to the recollections
of the Christian host. 50 yeai s before, James
Sobieski had conquered a glorious peace under
the walls of that very castle : and against ils
ramparts, after the disaster of Kobilla, the pow.
er of the young Sultan Osman had dashed itself
in vain. Now the sides wore changed ; the
Turks hold the entrenched Camp, and the ar.
my of the son of James Sobieski filled the plaiif.
“ The smaller force had now to make the
assault; the larger army was entrenched behind
the ramparts better fortified, better armed with
; cannon, than those which Sultan Osman and
his 300,000 Mussclmon sought in vain to wrest
from the feOblc army of Wladisluus The
Turks were now grey in victories, the assail
ants were young troops, for the most part ill.
armed, assembled in luistb, destitute of resources,
magazines or provision^—worn out with fati
gues and privations of a winter catripain.—Deep
ditches, the rocky bed of torrerits, precipitous
walls of rock-, composed the field of battle, on
which they were called on to combat an enc
my reposing beneath sumptuous tents, and be
-1 hind ramparts defended by 300 pieces of can
non. Tho night passed on tho Polish side in
mortal disquietude ; the mind Os tho general,
equally With the -soldiers, was overwhelmed
with anxiety. The enterprizo which had been
undertaken seemed above human strength ; and
the army hud no chance of safety but in victory.
*** Sobieski alone was inaccessible to fear.
When life trOops were drawn forth on the fol.
lowing rhorning, the Grand Hetman of Lithu
ania (Michael I’az) declared the attack despe
rate, and his resolution to retreat, ‘ Retreat,’
cried the Polisli her®, ‘is impossible. We should
only find a disgraceful death in the niorasseS
with which Wo arc surrounded ;—better far to
brave it at the foot of tho enemy’s oh trench;
ments. But what ground is there lor appre
hensions ? Nothing disquiets me but what I
hear from you. Your menaces are ourdlily dan.
ger. I am confident you will not execute
them. If Poland is to be effaced from the hook
of nations, you will not allow oiir children to
exclaim, that if a Paz had hot (led, they would
not have wanted a country* Vanquished hy
the magnanimity of Sobieski, the Lithuanian
chief promised not to desert his countrymen.
“ Sobieski then ranged his faltering batta
lions in order of battle, and the Turksumde pre
parations to receive behind their entrenchments
the seemingly hopeless attack of the Christians.
—Their forces were ranged in a semi-circle,
and their 40 field pieces advanced in front, bat
tered in breach the pallisades which were placed
across tho approaches to the Turkish camp.
Kouski,thc commander of the artillery, perform
ed under the. superior, lire of tho enemy, pro.
cligies of valor. The breaches were declared
practicable in the evening; and when night
came, the Christian forces of the two principali
ties of Wallachia and Moldavia deserted the
camp of the Infidel, to range themselves under
the standard of tho cross ; a cheering omen, for
troops never desert hut to the side which they
• imagine will prove successful.
“ The weather was dreadful; tho snow fell
in great quantities; the ranks were obstructed
by ils drifts. In the midst of that severe tempest,
Sobieski kept his troops under arms tho whole
night. In the morning they were buried in the
snow, exhausted hy cold and suffering. Then ho
gave the signal of attack, ‘ Companions,’said he,
in passing through the lines, liisclothcs, his hair,
his mustachies, covered with icicles, —‘1 deliver
to you an enemy already half vanquished. You
have suffered, the Turks are exhausted. The
troops of Asia can never endure the hardships
'of the last 24 hours. The cold Ims conquered
them to our hand. Whole troops of them arc
already sinking under their sufferings,while we,
inured to the climate, are only animated by it
to fresh exertions. It is for us to save the re
, public. Soldiers of Poland, recollect that Jesus
Christ Combats for you.’
“ Sobieski hurl thricb heard mass since the
rising of the sun. The day was the fete of St.
Martin of Tours. The chiefs founded great
hopes in his intercession : the priests who had
■ followed their masters to the field of battle, tra
versed tho ranks, recounting the actions of the
great apostle of the French, and all that they
might expect from his knows zeal for the faith.
He was a Sclavonian by birth.—Could there bo
any doubt, then, that the Christians would tri
■ urnph when his glory was on that day in so pecu.
liar a manner interested in performing miracles
in their favor?
: “An accidental circumstance gave the highest
appearance of truth to these ideas. The Grand
f Marshal who had just completed his last recoil
■ noissanc® of the enemy’s lines, returned With
; his countenance illuminated hy the presage of
i victory— ‘ My companions,’ ho exclaimed, ‘in
s half an hour we shall be lodged under those gild
s cd tents.’ In fact, he had discovered that the
r point against which he intended to direct his
- principal attack was not defended but by a few
. troops benumbed by cold. Ho immediately
. made several feigned assaults to distract tho at
■, terttion oflhe enemy, and directed against the
. pallisades, hy which ho intended to enter, the
fire of a battery erected. The soldiers irnmedi- 1
ufely recollected that the preceding evening they
hud made the utmost efforts to draw the cannon
beyond that point, hut that a power apparently
more than human had chained them to the spot,
from whence now they easily beat down the oh
staclcs to the army’s advance, and cleared tho
road to victory. Who was so blind as not to see
in that circumstance the miraculous intervention
of Martin 6f Tours?
“At ’that moment the army knelt down to re
ceive the benediction of Father Przeborowski,
and his prayer being concluded, Sobieski, dis
mounting from his horse, ordered his infantry to
move forward to the nssault of thetielVly opened
breach in the pallisades, he himself, sword in
hand, directing the Way, The tinned valets fol
lowed rapidly in thejr fodtsteps. In a moment
the ditches were filled up and passed; with one
bound the troops arrived at the foot of the rocks.
The Grand Hetman, after that first success, had
hardly Utile to remount Oh horseback-, when, on
the heights of the entrenched camp, were seen
the standard of the cross and the eagle of Poland.
Petrikowski and Denkoffhnd first mounted tho
ramparts, and raised their ensigns.—At this
joyful sight, a hurra of triumph rose from the
Polish ranks, and runt the Heavens: the Turks
were seized with consternation; they had been
confounded,at the suddeti attack, rnadohta time
when they imagined the severity of the weather
made the Christians renounce their perilous on
terprizo. Such was the ednfusion, that hut for
the extraordinary strength of theposition, they
could not have stood a moment. At this critical
juncture, Hussein, deceived by a false attack of
Czcrnick, hastened with his cavalry to the other
side of tho camp, and the spahas, conceiving
that he was flying, speedily took to flight.
“But the Janizaries were not yet vanquished.
Inured to arms, they rapidly formed their ranks,
and falling upon the valets, who had dispersed
in search of plunder, easily put them to tho
sword.—Fortunately Sobieski had time to cm.
ploy his foot soldiers in levelling the ground, &
rendering accessible tho approaches to the hills.
The Polish cavalry came rushing in with a noise
like thunder.—The hussars, the cuirassiers,with
burning torches affixed to the lances, scaled
precipices which seemed hardly accessible to
foot soldiers. Inactive, till that moment, Paz
now roused his strength. Ever the rival of So
bioski, ho rushed forward with his Lithuanian
nobles in the midst of every danger, to endeavor
to arrive first in the Ottoman camp. It was too
late; already tho flaming lances of the Grand
Hetman gleamed on the summits of the entrench,
ments, and ever attentive to tho duties of a com.
mander, Sobieski was employed in re-forming
the ranks of the assailants, disordered by the
assault and their success, and preparing for a
new battle in the midst of that city of tents,
which, though surprised, seemed not subdued.
“But the astonishment and confusion of the
besieged, tiie cries of the women, shut up in the
Harems, thundering carriages of the heavy
squadron's, clothed in steel invulnerable, and
composed of impetuous young men, gave the
Turks nci time to receiver from their conster
nation. It was no longer a battle, but a mas
sacre. Demetrius and the Lithuanian met at
the same time in the invading camp. A cry of
horror now rose from tho Turkish ranks, and
they rushed in crowds td the bridge of boats,
which crrfsSed the Dniester, am! formed the solo
communication betweeh Kotzim and the fdrtified
city of Kamarliek. In the struggle to reach this
sole outlet from destruction, multitudes killed
each other. But Sohicski’s foresight had de
prived the vanquished even of this late resource.
His brother in law, Iladziwil, had, during the
tumult, glided unperccived through the bottom
of the ravines, and at the critical moment made
himself master of the bridge, and the heights
which commanded it. The only resource of the
fugitives was now to throw themselves into the
waves—2o,ooo men perished at that fatal point,
either oh the shores or in the half congealed
stream. Insatiable in carnage, the hussars led
hy Maziniki pursued them on horseback into the
bed oftho Dnieper, and sabered thousands when
struggling in the stream—4o,ooo dead bodies
were found in tho precincts of the camp. The
water of the river for several leagues ran with
blood, and corpses were thrown up with every
wave on its deserted shores.
“At tho news of this extraordinary triumph
the Capitan Pacha, who was advancing td in
vade Poland, sot fire to and hastened
across the Danube. The Moldavians and
Walachians made their submissions to the Con
queror, and the Turks, recently so arrogant,
began to tremble for their capital. Europe, e
loctrified with those successes, returned thanks
for tho greatest victory gained for throe centu
ries over the infidels.—Christendom quivered
with joy as if it had just escaped from ignominy
and bondage.

It need not lie concealed, that between Mr.
Crawford and the Editor of tins paper, there
have existed no very warm feeling of personal
regard for several years past, but il is equally
tl-uc, that wo have, upon all occasions, felt and
expressed our high admiration of his character
as a statesman. We wore among his earliest
and warmest political friends, and have always
considered him asoiie of the greatest men who
has ever represented this union in either branch
of congress, in the cabinet, Or at a foreign court,
as well on account of his transcendent talents,
as for his honest, and candid course.
Mr. Crawford has rendered great and hnpor
taut services to his country —“His name be
longs to History, and we cannot consent to see
it go tarnished to her archives.”
These remarks are drawn forth on account of
the unfeeling, unjust and illiberal attacks recent,
ly made upon this venerable patriot fur his union
doctrines. Because he will not abandon all his
well tried and well settled opinions upon the prin
ciples *f the constitution, adopt tho wild heresy
of South Carolina, and sing peansand aritlioms
to the talents arid patriotism of John C. Calhoun
and Ins coadjutors, he is charged with renouncing
the republican creed ami assisting to destroy the
groat land murks of the republican party.
We believe ourselves to ho walking in the
light of tho good old Jefferson faith—Mr. Craw
ford is fearlessly maintaining the same doctrine,
and we shall sustain him. i
Wc have said, the standard of Union shall he
|an independent Journal—lt shall bo so. “Wc
shall speak of men, measures and parlies, with
the f ’oedOm and candor becoming our vocation/’
and in doin'? so, if wo know onrsolvcs, our per
sonal feelings shujl never induce us to withhold
justice from, or to “set down aught in malice”
against, a fellow citizen.

FOR ENLARGING AND /MDROVING THE
, SOUTHERN BANNER,
A Paper now published Weekly in Athens, Oco.
rilHfe rapid increase of population, wealth and Intel
■- Hgpnce of Western Georgia, have prompted tho
Editdrs (if the “ Southern Banner,” in order to keep
pace with the improvement of the times—to lay before
their friends and patrons, tho following proposals :
Tllcv intend uhbut the first of February next, to publish
the “ Banner” on a large imperial sheet—not inferior irt
size or style of execution, to any now published in the
State—fertile accomplishment of which purpose, they
have ordered from New. York an entire new set «?f mate
rials.
The Editors deem it unnecessary at this late day, to
cnler into a minute detail oftlieir political creed—they
would deem it Li tit a work of supererogation. Suffice it
to say, their best efforts will always bp directed (by dia.
s» minuting correct principles, religious, moral and
political) to the advancement of the interest, honor and
happiness of the people—particularly that portion of
them comprising the Western and North Western sec
tion of the State; and to whom they mainly look for pat
re uage and support.
The patronage of tho Banner is now respectable, but
riot sufficient to meet the increase of expenditure that
must necessarily occur, in effecting the improvements
contemplated., They are sanguine, however, in the
hope, that a liberal public will yield to their efforts, that
support mid 'encouragement, upon which they alone
must rely, for the successful accomplishment of an un
dertaking so responsible,
TERMS,
The price of subscription will be the same as here
tofore—viz ; $3,00 per annum in advance, or $4,00 if
payment is delayed until after the year expires.
As an inducement to our friends to exert themselves
for us, we offer to give a copy of tHb Banner for every
•iiiN responsible names forwarded by any one Individual.
. Fetters, . pusi paid, addressed to the Editors, or to
Albon Chase, Publisher, will receive prompt attention!
