GEORGETOWN, Jan. 8, 1855.
Every thing in our city yesterday presented
the appearance of Sabbath day. At an
classes were seen vending their way towards
your city, to witness the display which was to
be made by the Old Defenders of our liberties,
and the citizen soldiery. The Union line,
though an extra number of coaches were put
upon the route, was unable to accommodate
the perfect tide of human beings that thronged
our streets. All appeared anxious, not only
to see the hoary headed yeter ans of 1872, but
to contribute their mite in doing honor to tho
name OF the hero Of New Orleans. and the
anniversary of the day which witnessed the
final blow which taught the minions of John
Bull that though booty and beauty was their
object, total defeat, and perfect route was
!heir reward.
The weather this morning is damp and
gloomy, with light mist of rain, which causes
pretty general suspension of all kinds of
out door business.
During yesterday and the day before quite

from Williamsport with -four. Some 5000 to

MERITED REBUKE.-The English paper,
have uttered the most dolorous complaints
about the barbarity of the Russians in firing
upon their own cavalry, as we'll as upon that
Of he allies at the battle of Balaklava. Ac
cording to the national morality of John Bull,
an act 30 atrocious should disgrace Russia in
the eyes of all good people, forever and ever.
The Boston Courier gives tt en- brief extract
from history, which may possibly correct the
tone of the British press, and teach them a
useful lesson. The Courier says
If any of the advocates of the Allies, and
denouDcers of Russia, will turn to the third
chapter of the life of General Nathaniel
Greene, by W. Gilmore Simms, they will find
that ut tho battle of Guilfofd, which was
the British Guards we're in full retreat bsfore
the American cavalry, and the battle was
hearty won, Lord CORVALLIS saw that there
was but one thing he could do to save the day,
and hurrying on the hill on which McCloud
had posted his artillery, he gave the terrible
order to repel the progress of the American
cavalry by pouring out torrents Of grape upon
the field. Every storm OF bullets swept neces-
sarily through the ranks Of friends and foes,
His own guard must feel the storm as heavily
as their adversaries. Nevertheless he gave
the order. 6 1t is destroying ourselves" said
OHarrs. "That is trus," said CORVALLIS,
but it is Unavoidable The expedient was
fatally successful 1t repelled the American
cavalry, and it rescued the victory from their
clutches. About one half of the splendid bat
TALON Of the Guards was swept to ruin in tie
stOrm-out to pieces in the open day by the
guns of their own army.
