Very Respectfully, CHAMBERLAIN" PATTERSON only seven guns and ninety men, including their officers. In violation of the laws and usages of neutrality, Lloyd sent in at 8 p. four large, well armed launches, manned by forty men each. Reid, suspecting danger at that time, was warping his vessel under the guns of the castle. The moon was shining brightly.

The launches and the privateer opened tire almost simultaneously, and the launches were driven off witn heavy loss. The first lieutenant of the Armstrong was wounded and one man was killed. Another attack was made at midnight with fourteen luunches and about 500 men A terrible conflict ensued, lasting forty minutes. The enemy was repulsed with a loss of 120 killed and 130 wounded. At daybreak a third attack was made by the Carnation.

She opened heavily, but was soon so cut up by the rapidly dulivered and well-directed fire of the Armstrong that she withdrew hastily. The privateer also was damaged, and it was evident she could not maintain another assault of equal seveirty Captain Reid, who had given orders from his quarter-deck during the attacks, directed that she be scuttled to prevent her falling into the hands of the enemy. She then was abandoned, when the British boarded her and set her on fire. It is a curious fact that while the British fleet lost over 300 in killed and wounded, the Americans lost but two killed and seven wounded After the Armstrong was buniedComniodore Lloyd informed the governor that unless Reid and his men who had gone ashore were surrendered to him as prisoners he would send 500 men to capture them. This request was refused.

Reid and his men took posses sion of and fortified an old convent, declaring that they would fight to the last, but they were not molested. The defeated vessels were part of an expedition concentrating at Jamaica for a descent upon New Orleans, and their crippled condition prevented their immediate union with Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane Consequently the expedition did not attack New Orleans until four days after General Andrew Jackson's arrival at that place, which saved Louisiana from British conquest. The defense made by the Armstrong created a great sensation, aud on his return to the United States Reid was received everywhere he went with un bounded enthusiasm. On April 7, 1S15, the Legislatute of New York voted the thanks of the State and a swurd was presented to him. At Tammany Hall, in this city, he received as a gift of the citizens a handsome plate service.

No doubt this is the one that has found i way into the Bowery pawn shops. He died on Jan. 28. 18iil. His funeral took place in Trmty Church and his body was buried in Greenwood Cemetery.

Ed. NEW ROUTE FROM MEMPHIS TO JACKSON The route from Memphis to Jackson over the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley, throatth by Phillips aud Greenwood and thence over the Illinois Central, will be opened for the handling of freight next Monday. At any rate, this is the present calculation of the transportation officials in authority. A Scimitar reporter was told as much by one of them this morning, though, as something may transpire that will interfere, the official announcement of schedules will not be given out until the latter part of this week. The officials, however, want the people along the route with whom they are to do business to be prepared, so that the freight ready to haul may be gotten out of the way as rapidly as possible.

The various sceues leading up to the surrender of M. Guerin, the tripe slinger of Paris, who heroically pre sauted himself to the French authorities yesterday morning were of such a character as to create the impression that the old Bastile had been moved into the city and the militia, gendarmes, fire department, etc were about to do a little storming on their own account. Tuesday night, the sol diers, who had been guarding the house whereGuerin and his companies were holding the suppositious fort, were replaced by troops fully equipped, as if tor field service. From that time up to3 :30 o'clock yesterday morning the generals, field officers and troops continued to arrive and then came the fire department. Guerin defied the army, generals, staff officers and troops.

But there was a last resort the fire department. At 4 o'clock a general alarm was turned in and the fire department materialized in the immediate vicinity of M. Guerin's camp. This was too much for the doughty and valiant M. Guerin.

He could defy the army but he drew tl line at the fire department and he calmly announced that he would sur render. Thus, after calling out the guards and besieging the camp for a period of six weeks II Guerin calmy surrendered rather than submit to a shower bath under the supervision of the Paris department. WILL HOLD THEIR COTTON. The Democrat's proposition to regulate the marketing of the cotton crop has been received with marked favor and it will not be long before there will be a united move in this direction. The planters, bankers and merchants of Troup county, Georgia, adopted a series ot resolutions which shows the interest the people of that suction have taken in the matter.

The Texas Grangers aud others have endorsed the proposition to regulate the marketing of the cotton crop and there can be no doubt that this move, if persisted in and acted upon, will prove successful in the end. We feel sure that if every paper in the South will come to the front in this matter and add its voice aud influence to the cotton farmers the movement will meet with every success uuc1, every branch of business will be greatly benefitted The farmers merchants and bankers throughout Georgia and Texas have aligned themselves with the bulls and have taken a determined stand to hold their cotton until they receive a profitable price for the staple. The farmers in Arkansas are now moving in the matter and Mississippi will not be far behind. It is only necessary to watch the market, note the receipts at the large ports to bo convinced that the plan proposed by the Democrat has been received with marked favor and that the bulls will have their inning in spite of the bears. As will be conceded by everyone the bears are exerting their every effort to beat down the price of cotton and every person who supports the bear side of the market is fighting against the business interests of the South CAPTAIX REID'S FAMOUS FIGHT The following query addressed to the editor of the Brooklyn I're-s and his reply which we publish in full, will be of interest to our readers: To the Editor of the Press: History of the -s Reid's priva-'I, A i and a British with nil tha affair What tieieat of the British have upon their plans for an attack on our Southern coast? Recently I saw a silver service that was pre sented to Captain Reid in a pawnbroker's window in the Bowery.

Who gave the service to Reid? When and where did he die? THOMAS PICKERING No. 14 Monroe street, Brooklyn, Aug. 4. This was ona of the most desperate aud famous combats recorded in the history of privateering during the war of 1812. The General Armstrong of New York, commanded by Captain Samuel C.

Ried, was lying at nachor in the harbor of Fayal, a neutral port and one of the Azores Islands On Si-pt. 2i, 1814, she was attacked by a British squadron under the command of Commodore Lloyd. The attacking vessels were the Plantagenet of seventy-four guns, the Rota, forty-four guns and the Carnation, eighteen guns Tney had on board more than 2000 men. The Armstrong carried goods, and now tliein All DESIGN. and Skirts.
