past-the time for acting has arrived
The high destinies of our country-the
strength and virtue of the constitution
the glorious liberties of the people, and the
Immaculate purity of their rulers have
been long enough the themes of noisy de-
clamation. The period has arrived when
the destinies Of the nation are to be decided
the strength and virtue of the constitu-
ton tried-corruption in high places
sought out and punished and the liber.
ties of the people saued from the grave
that seems opening to receive them. The
path of duty which Congress have to pur-
sue, is plain. The voice of the nation calls
upon them for succor and redress-for sue
cor against the calamities under which
they suffer-for redress against the weak
or wicked rulers who have brought those
calamities upon them. Will the represen-
tatives of the people be deaf to the appeal?
If they are silent, the very stone of the
Capitol will cry out.
The Governor of Massachusetts has di
rected the Legislature of that state to con
vene in Boston on Wednesday the 5th day
of October next. He has also issued his
general order, calling on the whole militia
of the state to hold themselves in readiness,
to march at a moments warning with
arms, ammunition and accoutrements, as
the laws of the United States, and of the
state, require. He has likewise called a
number of companies into actual service,
and ordered them to march Immediately
to Boston for the protection of that town.

THE NOTE

The very moment Information was re-
ceived by Co. Green and myself of the
enemy intention to come down, the regl-
ments were paraded, mine Being in front,
and commenced their march. Fearing that
unless the ground was previously marked
out, there would be some difficulty IN
forming them in the midst of SO heavy a
fire, rode forward myself went to The
ground on the right of the battery which
was 10 have been my station, found 1T oc-
cupied by some rihemen, &c.; then went
to the left. ordered Captain anyways com
pany to take their position. and waited my
selffor the regiment to come up. After
some time the fire becoming excessively
heavy, | found that the sailors and ma
rines were retreating from the fort, and
seeing Com. Porter among the last, | ran
to him and asked if he had ordered it,
lie replied that he found it impossible to
maintain the fort longer against SO dispro-
poFtioned a force.
could myself proceed very little farther,
and found it not only more dangerous to
retreat than remain, but quite impossible
to rejoin the troops, who had, as ! under
stand, continued to advance to within 500
yards OF the battery, until General Hun
g%erford ordered a retreat.
The llth regiment was a second time
ordered to advance ~obliquely to the right
TO cover the battery, and did so advance
until they came within view of the ship
ping. aud were again rctreated.
