THE MEMPHIS CONVENTION.

We lay the principal part Of the proceedings Of
this important and highly respectable convention
before our readers. They present various subjects
for reflection, and probably various measures for
action We take profound an interest as any
American in the internal improvement of our
country. None can feel sincerer interest in the
improvement Of that magnificent part Of it which
constitutes the valley of the Mississippi. With
these feelings, we lay the proceedings Of the con-
vention before our readers; and we witness, with
great pleasure, the energetic spirit which seems To
have animated its members. We may not alto
gether agree with the convention about all of its
modes of action. We may differ in some respects
from the very distinguished man who presided over
it deliberations. In many of his views we cordially
concur with him. But, with him, we decline at this
moment to enter into particular investigation Of
the proposed measures, When these topics shall
come before the halls Of Congress, to which they
are better suited he conceived, we, too, shall not
hesitate to express our opinions.

FOUNDER each" Lieut.. Howle, who was first lieu
tenant OF the company, commanded two field pieces
from the beginning TO the close Of the defence Cor
poral Molat was one of the men commissioned of.
fcers attached TO his guns. Lieut.. Godwin's piece
broke down, il was said early in the action.
That the sailors and marines, and those in com
mand Of them, did all that could have been done on
that OCCASION the writer of this is satisfied but for
Capt. Shubrek TO say that they only were entitled
TO the honors OF that day, is AN unsuslanable as
sumption. The whole amount of Capt. SIS state
ment may be briefly reduced TO this that no one
but he and his co-mates of the navy had aught to
do IN the defence of the island that il was they
who repealed the enemy from its shores; in fine,
that they alone should wear the glory of that days
achievements. Shame, shame upon such injustice
to the other noble spirits who had their full share
in that days defence. Let justice be dealt out equal
ly TO all. Fiat jusiitia ruat ceum."
Unsatisfactory and mlsrepresented have been
many of the statements Of that days events. The
honor that should have redounded equally upon all
who sgnalIzed themselves in that engagement, has
been perverted from its right course by the exer-
tons OF some who have sought thus for themselves
1t would seem, more than Just reward. Few there

lence and ingratitudc. That they deserved this,
truth and candor will be ever ready to deny. That
their bravery was not at the time unappreciated,
the fact that to one Of their number was rendered
by Gen. Porter the command of company of reg
ular artillery, seems conclusive. Brave souls they
have now nearly all gone down to the stiffness of
the grave, without even the satisfaction of barely
acknowledged merit. All that their survivors ask
is justice-justce to their memory.
IMMERSION.
II has been stated that no one was wounded in
the defence of Craney Island This is mistake.
A man by the name of Atkinson, stationed at one
Of the guns commanded by the lst lieutenant Of the
Portsmouth artillery, was very severely wounded;
which was supposed, at the time, to have been done
by the bursting of a rocket Z.
