THE Triunbhs.

According To the London newspapers, our
enemies have paid higher compliments TO the
valoi of our tars than we have dons ourselves.
Their lamentations over the Gutrrier, Java,
Macedonian, Frolic, &c. &c. have ,hundcIcd
our applause over the universe the tone OF
deep regret has been SO universal with the
boasied masters of the ocean, that its singu-
Isrity must have been noted even at Algiers.
Nor is our glory emblszDncd only by British
lameniation-our fame is spread abroad by tow
e. guns and by British illumina.ions. For
merIy, when Duncan, ST. Vincent or a
Nelson gained victory, and destroyed a
Dutch, Spanish, OF French fleet, the tow
er guns were fired, but never were there re-
ioIsings al victory over squadron or ship
Until fhe cah.nre Of the CheSoheake. Then,
indeed, we're the tower guns II ed and the
Bow bells ruDg, and we'll they might, tor IL
was an unusual thing to triumph over hmc-
ricans--what an encomium did those guns
pay TOO taTs! What peal OF 10y did the
bells ring in the ears Of Anne cicans Yes, the
bravery of our tars is such, that we have
compelled the enemy 10 proclaim II them
selves so difficult Was 1t 10 gain single VIC
tory or single ship f,om Us, that when gain
ed, as much was done 10 celebrate il, as used
10 be done after battle in which twenty ships
of the line were taken.
But short is the triumph over the Chesa.
peakc doubly daii aud heavy will the British
eeI, aiser 'hei, short lived Joy, when they
learn The fate of the Boxer aud their fleet on
lake Erie the tower guns and the Bow bells
viii be thought of every Gay more and more
by the shrinking people" when they learn
our nes ,riumphs. Our victories will be
spoken Of. and thought OF, ten times more,
because our los, of the Chesapeake was 80

Extract Of a letter rcciped in Washington CITY,
dated Fort So Sfthhens, Senf A.
The storm which has been so long gath
ering, and so often predicted by honest, re
spectacle citizens, has at length fallen on our
infant deteDceiess settlements On Monday
last the Creek Indians com mcnced hostiiitIes
against US, and on that day reduced one tort
Tensaio, about fifteen miles from Stodderl |;
IN which there were between three and four
aundrrd persons of every description. Oi
these, about one hundred and thirty five were
volunteers IN the service OF the y. States, and
local militia. IT'S said the tort was SUI pris.
ed, and that the Indians entered al one OF the
gates and set FIRE To all old frame house in the
centre Of he pit kets. All Was done that could
be Effected by cool, determined bravery; but
overpoweret by numbers, they were literally
bn'chered, the house set on fire, and the old
men, woman and children (who were in an
upper roon) burnt 10 dcah.-Dur little Spar.
tan band sold their lives we'll, having killed
as stated by the few who cscapel) about two
hundred and wounded many more. OF all
that were In the FORT eight only have got in,
md they escaped by cutting down the pick
cts Under The double influence Of British
gold and furious fanaiicism, the savages fought
IN a manner scarcely TO be credited. The
fight was SO ob.tinately maintained for long
time, that rne opponents, overcome by faugue
md excrtions, loaded their pieces deliberately
ind sbo, each other down, or were mutually
dispatched by the bayonet and ,omaha~k.

ley commanded, aud was killed y. the gate,
very early IN the action at this place 65 Of

arc flying in every direction. AT this place

pulse the enemy or share the fate Of those
who fell in the tort 81 Tensaio."
