AMERICAN ACHIEVEMENT.
While the siege of Savannah was pending, a remarkable enterprise was effected by Col. John White, of the Georgia line. Previous to the arrival of D'Estaing on the coast of Georgia, a captain of Delancey's first battalion had taken post, with about one hundred American royal regulars, near the river Ogeechee, about twenty-five miles from Savannah. There were also at the same place five British vessels, four of which were armed, the largest with fourteen guns, the smallest with four, and the whole manned with about forty sailors. Col. White, with six volunteers, including his own servant, made them all prisoners. On the 30th September, at eleven o'clock at night, he kindled a number of fires in different places, adopted the parade of a large encampment, practised a variety of other stratagems, and summoned the captain to surrender ; who was so fully impressed with an opinion that nothing but an instant compliance could save his men from being cut in pieces by a superior force, that he made no defence. The deception was carried on with such address, that all the prisoners, amounting to one hundred and forty-one, were secured. The colone!, now very much embarrassed, was at his wit's end to know what to do with so many prisoners, concluding that if they discovered his weakness, they would rise and capture him and his party in turn, hit upon the following expedient : he suggested to the commanding officer of the captured troops the dilemma he was in to fulfil the articles of the capitulation with good faith, as his men were so enraged at the cruelties that had been practised by the British, that they were determined to put them all to instant death. Upon this representation, the British officer suggested the propriety of his keeping his regiment in the rear of them, while three of his men should conduct the prisoners to the nearest American post, which was twenty-five miles distant ; which they accordingly did, and delivered thein safely to the commanding officer.

TO THE PUBLIC.
NEW-YORK, JULY 6, 1840.
A STILL further reduction in the number of copies printed has taken place this year, in consequence of the continued depressed state of business :
From the commencement of operations until the completion of the work the Editor has applied himself diligently and faith- fully ; and, under a propitious concurrence of circumstances which could neither be produced nor controlled by him, he has been enabled to issue the work at an unusually early day, and with a degree of accuracy which he had hardly hoped to effect : . it is highly improbable that so satisfactory a volume will ever again be published as early-certain it is, he will not promise to do it.
The collecting of the names was finished on the first day of June : since which time two active and skilful persons have been unremittingly engaged in repeatedly traversing the entire city for the purpose of making numerous supplemental exami- nations ; and the entire canvass has been made in a more thorough manner than was at first contemplated-to an extent, in fact, which the increasing population of this city must soon render impracticable. The Editor has not made any special calculation, but it does not appear in his judgment that the num- ber of removals and alterations has exceeded the average of the last few years-therefore, on that score, he can urge no addi- tional claim for remuneration from his patrons.
The Editor has received numerous applications from persons requiring to have their names and address withdrawn ; he thinks that the obligations due from him to the public at large do not permit a compliance with demands which would impair the cha- racter and value of the work.
If the occupants of houses in a part of Eighth-street will re- linquish the anti-republican passion for the silly distinction af- 61* o.s.

forded by the use of the tag place, and restore the legitimate numbers, which were placed upon the houses in the month of May, then no confusion or difficulty can arise ; for, con- formably to that numbering, the names in that street were taken and are so printed.
The present volume constitutes the forty-fifth publication of " Longworth's Directory," being the thirty-fourth volume of the present Editor's labors-during the whole of which term the public have been faithfully served-at least such is the candid opinion of the publisher-ample would be his reward and satis- faction if all men of business, who require the use of the book, would become purchasers, and if all who do purchase it should, find it worth the price charged.
Note .- Just as the printing of the Directory is completed, a resolution is presented to the Common Council for renumbering of the houses in Houstoun, Columbia, and Willett-streets. Not six years have elapsed since Houstoun-street was renumbered throughout.

a The first Directory published by D. Longworth on his own account, he having assisted, however, in the preceeding ; and to the one this year he prefixed an almanac for the first time.
b To the publication this year was attached a Brooklyn Directory, containing 212 names.
c This was the first Directory edited, when a boy, by the present publisher and proprietor.
d The Register was omitted and price reduced ; this was the first Directory published on his own account by the present proprietor ; his father then deeming it an unthankful task, and the support not sufficient to reward his attentions to the work.
e About 400 tenements were unoccupied when the work was put to press.
