time, open to French commerce great

SAVANNAH NEVER TO BE SURRENDERED

SAVANNAH NEVER TO BE SURRENDERED.
We are rejoiced to be able to an
nounce that Brigadier General Lawton
has determined under no circumstances
to surrender the city into the hands of
the enemy but to defend it to the last
extremity. This determination was
formally communicated 10 the Mayor
yesterday ; whereupon % special meet
ing Of council was called, and reso-
luton unanimously adopted to give all
the support in their power to the heroic
purpose.
We like this, way of setting out
when a people are struggling for their
homes and firesides against ruthless
invader The bond thus entered with
the public, in a sacred one, and every
true Georgian will be ready to seal it
with his blood.
One thing more remains to be done.
and then we shall be able TO measure
arms with the enemy. Let the COM
manders Of our various batteries call
together their respective garrisons and
swear them never to abandon a gun
SO long as it sets on its carriage, and
a soldier is left to man it.
The proceedings Of Council on this
matter are as follows
The following resolution was intro
Quoted and adopted
By Alderman Roberts
Whereas, A communication has
been received from the Commanding
General, stating that he will defend to
the last extremity and, whereas, the
members Of Council unanimously

all the aid that is in their power to
sustain the General, and to carry out
his laudable determination Savan-

Capt F. A. Hervy, who arrived here
morning, informs lis that he learned
from an acquaintance who particlpat-
ed in the fight, that our forces took
possession of Baton Rouge capturing
over 1000 prisoners. The Arkansas
upset two OF the enemy's boats She
was not blown up, as was rumored.'
Her machinery got out of order, but
was repaired, and had started down
tho river towards New Orleans, at
which place the enemy are only 5000
strong, and many had died of the vel
low fever, during the past week. Gen.
Van Dorm had the Mansllac bridge re-
paired. Being personally acquainted
with the Captain, we think the intelli-
genGe can be relied on as correct.
One of our citizens tells that he saw
an account in the Mississiopian of the
9Th, giving the particulars Of the blow
ing up OF the arkansas Our readers
can form their own conclusions.
Rumor says Pope is retreating into
Virginia, and Stonewall jackson is
after him, and says he will follow him
into Washington City or whip him.
The Yankee army in East Tennessee
are reported captured.-NeWs.

DOnaIdsonyille Destroyed.

lousas reports the destruction of Donald
sonville by the Federals. 1t seems
that the vandal act has been perpetra
ted by ten or twelve men; the inhabi
tants OF The place offering not the
least resistance This is probably but
the inaugural of the system of de.
vastation and barbarity threatened by
Butler in case the Confederates should
attempt to clean our towns from the
deIctcrous presence of his hordes
Let then the example of Vicksburg be
before the eyes Of every community.
let every spot of ground where hand
ful Of brave hearts and patriotic men
can congregateprove a stumbling block
to the invaders Of our soil, that thew
may learn that New Orleans alone is
not Louisiana, that all the people of
the State are not to be thrown like SO
many sheep into the jaws of the wolf
Butler If Donaldsohville has been
destroyed without the firing of shot in
its defence, it will be another example
Of the folly of attempting to evade
ruin by ahiect submission to an en-
ragged and baiiled foe. Far better
would it be for every community to
bury itself under it's heroic ruins, amid
the blood and bones of ruthless enc.
my, than to fall an easy prey to the
vandalism Of an exulting and coward
ly conqueror. Had New Orleans pos
spssed the least particle of the spirit
that fred the hearts of the noble de- !
Tenders of little Vicksburg, she would
not be to-day at the mercy Of the butcher
that tramples upon her with his dag
ger on her throat, threatening to shed
Ter last drop of blood on the first at }
empt made to release her from his
grasp. II New Orleans undergoes the
ate of Donaldsonville, it may in
Great measure be attributed to the cow
rdice or treachery oft own population
a delivering themselves into the well
nown hands of the Yankees headed
y a Butler
There is another feature under ,
-hieh the destruction Of New Orleans
Y the Fedcrals may be considered
is well known that foreigners hold I
property i'll that city. Should /
utlcr fulfil his thrcat and burn it at ,
lc first sign Of an attack by the Con t
'dcratcs, it will not then give the for 7
