They fought to the last Tut tie enemy were

Some Time after the action, tic negroes, WHO bad

by pretending to he dead and brought US the ne~s;
Two Others only, rs yet, known 10 have survived,

so effective in its aid, that out of sheer com.
pliment among their friends here, thew
were called Jackson's Tennessee Rifles"
They both proved true for time, and told,
WIN unerring certainty, in every conflict
with those who opposed the Executive
But, although both were called good rifles,
there was an allowed difference between
them. One missed the mark altogether.
during that famous contest which was cur.

resolutions. Ii was believed to have been
near bursting, in consequence of being over.
charged with notification powder. There
was also another failure. This same rifle
was assigned to the defence OF the Post OF.
hce, and was charged to the muZzle for
keeping and maintaining that position but
the post was carried by It's assaian,s, and
the defence was censured by those who di.
rected It, because the enemy entered IN de.
spite OF The garrison, and exposed most pi.
ratlcal depredatlons which had been com.
united on the People. For my own part,

Extract from tie SpescI Of Mr.. Ciagioq of Drla.
trgrf on w. Benlou's Resolution.
What may have been the motive Of this
lll.tned and unprvyoked assault upon the
last Senate, by certain members OF the pre-.
sent, the world Will Judge. When the hon.
orabc gentleman from Tennessee who &C.
cuFcd the seat nearest 10 the Chair, Mr.,
White addressed YOU IN vlndication Of his
own vote, given against the amendment for
three millions, some thoughts, | do confess,
occurred, which led me TO form my own
conclusions as 10 tho real object Of this war
upon that vote. That honorable gentleman
said that he crayed severance on the trial
under the indictment preferred against the
majority Of the Senate, aud pleaded his ac.
qmtal by the Legislature Of Tennessee,
which had unanimously reelected hun since
he gave that vote. Sir it may be that, if
he were not joined in the bill of indictment,
others here would hardly have been put on
their trial. II may be considered necessary
to make the most of this, the only offence
which he has committed against the AID.
mnistga,ion bu, can hardly yet believe
that, even among his old political friends,
he need appreheud condemnation for that
vote, should he 70 to trial with the rest Of
us before the country under general issue.
The difference in the votes of the honorable
Senators from Tennessee, (Mr. White and
Mr.. Grundy,) on the amendment 10 the for.
tIlicatIon bill, has called up some remiui.

other differences between them. When |
