THE BATTLE OF NEW OBLEAftS
The English had determined at an earl
period to obtain posessionofNew Orlcan:
and their Danish descents in the Chess
peak were merely feints to divert attei
tion from the main object. The plan wa
excellent. A defenceless coast, an unfoi
tified town; a total want of munitions c
oil rfisaflltcted n?<rro slaves: a DODt'
Iation half French, and half Spanish; ever
circumstance seemed favorable; and the
already exulted, when considering th
value ofthe-prize winch was to benbtaii
ed so easily. The great market of th
Mississippi and Ohio valleys was willii
their reach; and animated by their succes
at Washington, they regarded the exped
tion rather as a promenade mililaire, i
quest of "beauty and booty," than as a
invasion in which plunder was to b
bought with blood. Rumors of their ir
tentions had already reached Louisian;
and excited much alarm and a shiftles
desire to do something for defence. Lt
fHte, the smugler, whom the British a
tempted to buy over, warned the author
ties repeatedly of the approaching dahge
and though a foreigner, a pirate, and a
outlaw, offered to serve with all his ban
against the enemies of America. Yet littl
was accomplished; the government, as re
miss here as elsewhere, had provided ne
therarms nor amunition. Even a frigat
of small draft, destined to the defence c
the lake, remained unfinished, despite th
earnest solicitation of Commodore Pattei
son. Nothing was ready except the Ger
Andrew Jackson. His military talent
were fully equal to the occasion. In vs
rious expeditions against the Creeks, h
had already evinced that iron energy, ir
domitable perseverance, and ceaseless ac
tivitv, so necessary to a commanding off
cer. He whs the general tor an emurgui
cy. Not one of the wavering, bat a ma
who would keep his object as steadily be
fore him, as the manner his port, an
trample down and crush without remors
whoever barred the path. A charade
indispensable in a chief, for in war, espe
ciallv, success is the only thing worth con
sideration.
On the 2d of December, 18 14, Genera
Jackson arrived in New-Orleans, on hi
return from Pensacola. The city was ii
-great confusion. Committees of all kind
were disputing, qnareling, and more desi
rous to fight each other than the cnciny.His
appearance restored tranquility, fo
he had that strength about liiin on whic
men in dangerwillingly rely. The Gei:
lost no time in tardy deliberations. Mat
tial law was proclaimed; the writ of habe
r as corpus suspended; free men of coin
and prisoners enrolled; the Baratarian
welcomed to the ranks; and every poin
which he thought menaced by the attacl
visited and fortified. On the 14th, new
came of the capture of the six gun-boat!
' on lake Borguc, the only protection of thi
coast in the absence of the unfinished frig
ate. The invaders were at the door, an<
men knew that the hour of trial had arri
ved.
Some ragged fisherman, who earned i
miserable livelihood on the shores of tin
lake, went over to the British, and advis
ed them to land at the Bayou Cataline
one of the thousand creeks which intersec
the swamps of Louisiana. The Bayoi
was well chosen, for the Mississippi at thi
point was not more than six miles distan
from the lake. On the 16 of Dccembei
the army was conveyed in boats to Pirn
Island, 'a miserable swamp not only de
void of all human habitations, but ban
even of trees and shrubs.'* On this wast<
they remained five days, suffering all th<
hardships of an exposure to cold and rain
Many of the black troops, unaccustomer
to a change of climate, fell asleep besid<
their fires, and expired. On the 22d tin
avant-guard, consisting of sixteen hundrer
men, under the command of Genera
'Keane, was re-embarked, and rowed t(
the Bayou, a distance of sixty miles, with
out even an awningto protect them agains
the showers which fell during the nighl
Bodily discomfort was forgotten in ih
certainty of success; and when the boat
I? took the ground under the high recd-cov
crcd banks of the Bayou, the troops leap
ed ashore with alacrity, and pushed for
ward through the swamp, where the c.y
press and the conqueror's laurel grew sid
by side in boundless profusion, to Villiere'
plantation,-on the left bank of the Missis
sippi.
Thus far every thing had gone well, i
quick marcn 01 ten miles over a levei roa
would have placed the prize within thei
grasp. Col. Thornton, the second in com
mand, earnestly pressed an immediat
advance; sixteen hundred men, he mair
tained, were fully adequate to the task c
surprising an unfortified city; and no tim
was to be lost in delays, for the escape (
several prisoners would soon announc
their arrival to the Americans, and pr<
pare them for defence. Gen Kean

troops, in high spirits, piled their arm

of provisions, fully impressed that "as tl

i- houses;your slaves shall be preserved to 0
i- you, and your property respected. We ar
is make war only- against Americans." fr
- All other hostile demonstrations were bt

. from the English, arrived in New-Orleans hi
y at nobn on the same day, and announced ar
c the disembarkation of the troops. Gen.

n hours had elapsed, the scouts came in, a 01
js night attack was planned, and orders is- in
i- sued to the corps who were to take part lii
ii in it. The armed schooner, Carolina, was h<
n directed to drop down the river, and to la
c take up a position abreast of the enemy's T
i- camp. About seven o'clock the Carolina pi
i, came leisurely to an anchor before the le- tli
is vee. So great was the security of the r?
l- British that they were gathered in crowds p
t- upon the bank, watching with an idle cu- r?
i- riosity the manoeuvers of the vessel, which 01
r, thfey took for an ordinary coaster. Sud- w
n denly the trumpet was heard from her o
d decks: "Give them this, for the honor of lo
c America!" and the darkness of the winter w
?- evening was lighted up by the flash of her I ti

i the pattering of grape shot among 'their th
e huts, and to the shrieks and groans of those bi
i- who lay wounded beside them."f st
A discharge from the picquets on the gi
i- right summoned them from their shelter, ai
i- Two thousand Americans, led on by Gen, fi<
n Jackson, in person, had forced their way rc
s- into the camp, and were bearing all before pi
d them. In the obscurity of the night, the al
e ranks were broken; Americans and En- tii
r glish mingled together, legit que virum vir. th
Every man fought for himself alone, as in te
i- the old Homeric conflicts. Musket and hi
pistol were laid aside for sword and bayo- w
,1 net. and the western rifle wielded with S
s both hands like a war club. After two 0
a h ?urs of hard fighting, the English were | ec
s reinfi>rced by the second detachment from ' sj.
i- the ships, and succeeded in beating off the J es
- attack. General Jackson withdrew his. sj
r men. and the enemy retreated once more; vt
h to the welcome shelter ofthe levee. In th
1.1 this affair the British lost four hundred in ai
- killed, wounded, and taken; the Americans sc
i- twi? hundred and fifty. The prisoners b<
r captured by Keane, consisted almost en- le
s tirely of lawyers. The members of the v;
it bar of New Orleans had enrolled them- c<
c, selves in a volunteer corps, and accompa- a
s nied General Jackson in this expedition, re

e seized to a man. | fa
Jackson's measures were as well plann- fi<
d ed as prompt; and the employment of the fr
i- schooner in particul r, merits all p- aise.? pi
This vessel alone kept the enemy chained ra
a to their position for three days. During i hi
e this all-precious interval, the famous em- j e\
bankment of cotton bales on Rodriguez ju
i, Canal wa< commenced, which was destin- m
i ed twice to foil every effort of the inva- hi
1 ders, and to give the death blow to all T
s their hopes of conquest. sa
t The whole of the next day the British w
r remained beneath the bank, suffering the rii
1 extremes of cold and hunger as soon how- ar
- ever, as it was dark, the army filed off and di
2 took up a position on the right, out of the
i reach of the Carolina's guns. By giving Pi

o erected on the bank, and a fire of hot shot cc
- opened on the Carolina. The second ball di
it took effect, and in fifteen minutes she was w
L abandoned by her crew, with the loss of te
e only one killed and six wounded. th
s On the 28th, the British Army, under w
- the command of Generals Gibbs and ri<
? Keane, advanced in two columns about ly
- three miles, when they came in sight of th
- the American troops posted behind the T
e unfinished breast-work. The left column in
s on the river was instantly greeted with a in
tremendous fire from the guns of the frig- as
ate Louisiana and those already mounted it
\ on the lines. "Scarce a bullet passed th

r king full in the midst of our ranks, oc- th
i- casioncd terrible havoc."J The column tr
e was soon forced by the carnage to deploy al
i- into lines of battalions, and finally to halt ly
if and lie down in the ditches which inter- p<
e sected the plantation. On the right the ai
>f attack might have succeeded, had it been th
:e energetically directed, for the works were m
i- unfinished, and only a few guns mounted; a
e, but the loss suffered by the left division di
>e was so great as to induce the commanding tr
J- officer to order a halt. In the ditches they tfl
ly remained until late in the afternoon, when S
je the different regiments filed off", man by gi

y suffered in this affair is astonishing, t
e more so when compared with the tn- i
ng injury they caused their antagonists, t
nly ten men were killed within their lines \
id but one wounded on board of the t

he 28th, 29th, 30th, and 31st were em- i
loyed in bringing up heavy guns from I
le fleet. The labor and hardships incurid
in the transportation of twenty-four I
ounders by hand through a quacking mo- 1
iss, can scarcely be conceived. Through- <
Jt this period the position of the British <
as anything but enviable. The scarcity
f provisions had reduced them to half al- {
wance, & driven them tostill their hunger <
ith the sugar they found on the planfa- I
ons. Astheynaano lenis, nicy wcic reed
to sleep upon the ground; and l
ouisiana in December is not exactly .
ie spot one would select for passing the l
ight al fi esco. Even the enjoyment of i
10 damp earth was denied them. The .
.mericans did not grant them a moment's I
;pose. From the day of their landing I
ley had been engaged in one continued
attle. Beside the shot that were con- |
antly thrown among them from guns <
really elevated on the lines, the American
"tillerymen would advance with a few
ild-pieces within range, fire half a dozen i
>unds, and retreat so rapidly as to .baffle i
jrsuit, while bands of riflemen lurked I
>out the picquets, and shot down the sen- |
nels. The English had a great dread of
ie Tennesseeans, whom they denomina- 1
d "Dirty Shirts," from the color of their J
anting-frocks. These night excursions i
ere very popular among the "Dirty
hirts;" they termed them hunting parties, i
?ne of these worthies is said to have kill- i
i and stripped three sentinels on the same i
lot in one evening, and to have made his i
icape into camp with the booty.f This (
'stem of warfare, although much in- 1
;ig led agai.qst by English writers, we i
link both j'usti.iable and wise. When .
nnies meet on foreign ground to decide <
ime state question,about which they may i
3 supposed to know little and to care t
iss, we can understand that a kind of chi- I
ilric understanding should exist Deiween ?
)mba ants. Such wars are but duels on (
large scale, and the courtesy which di- '
sets antagonists in affairs of honor ought 1
;rtainly to be exercised. The case is J
r otherwise with invaders. Then a man
jhts for his native soil; for his family and I
lends; for his posessions, which would be (
undered; for his home, which would be i
insacked and destroyed. He considers i
s foes in the light of house-breakers, and t
rery man slain, one enemy less, and very i
stly. This system, too, succeeded ad- '<
irably in a military point of view, by t
irassing and discouraging the English, t
he repulses they had met with, the inces- (
nt labor and constant excitement in f
hich they were kept by the ever-recur- s
)g attacks, had disheartened the troops, c
id made them heartily sick of the expe- i
ition. <
On the night of the 31st December, i
ickenham's men were employed in (
ecting batteries for thirty heavy guns. <
fie work was accomplished oetore aawn. i
lie sun rose behind clouds, and for some i
ne the mist was so thick that the
merican lines could not bedi-tinguished. <
t eight o'clock the white tents of the <
imp became visible, and the cannonade t
immenced. The fire was principally '
rected against M'Carty's chateau' which t
as occupied by Jackson as his head quar- 1
rs. Although the house was pierced 1
rough repeatedly, the staff escaped t
ithout a wound. The American batte- t
2s responded feebly at first, but gradual- <
grew brisker, and at length surpassed r
e British both in rapidity and precision, i
he enemy had rolled hogsheads of sugar I
to the parapet of his battery, under the s
ipression that it would be as effectual (
i sand in deadening the force of balls; but '
proved otherwise, for the shot crashed i
rough the casks as if thoy had been (
npty, dismounting the guns and killing c
e gunners. Cotton bales, on the con- J
ary, proved a much better defence; and t
though some of them were rather rude- r
knocked about by the twenty-four t
lund shot, but little execution was done s
nongthe Louisianians. At three o'clock t
ic fire of the English had slackened very ]
iucIi; and while the Americans, reserving 1
few guns to return, their feeble salutes, I
reeled the remainder against the infan- i
y, who consequently retired in precipi- 1
ition, leaving many dead on the field. <
oon after, the enemy ceased firing alto- <
ether, and abandoned his gunB. Jack- <
)n's loss did not exceed fifty in killed <
nd wounded. >
The Americans had good reason to be i
lated by their success. That thirty pie- I
es of cannon should be silenced by fif- j
sen, only five of which were of otjual '
:alibre, was far more encouraging to th<
nvaded than any advantage they bad ye
)btained. Satisfied with the result ofth
tffair, they made no attempt to carry ol
he guns, which were accordingly remc
red by the English, with much labor, o
he ensuing night. Five however, wer
lltimately left behind.
Once more frustrated in his hopes, Si
Sdward Packenham changed his plan <
ittack. It was now determined that
)ody of troops should cross the river, an
hat an advance should be made on bot
>anks at once. A canal two miles i
ength by six feet in breadth was commei
;ed, in order to convey the boats froi
he Bayou to the river. It would seei

oilers over land in half the time it woul
:ake to dig such a canal. Meantime &
work was continued, arid completed c
:he evening of the seventh.
Jackson had not been idle dunng the?
five days. The Rodriguez breast-woi
was now raised to the ordinary altitud
covered by a ditch, and fifteen guns pi;
ced at proper distances along the line; an
and moreover a battery mounting eightee
*uns had been erected on the other sid
[>f the river, so as completely to enfilac
Lhe English bivouac. No precaution w;

the position and toharrass the enenv

Fascines and scaling-ladders had bee

apprized of the approaching attack by tb
activity and turmoil they had remarked i

points to encounter it.
On the 8th of January took place th
last desperate effort of the British to obtai
posession of the prize they had bee
taught to deem so easy.
General Keane with twelve hundre
men was to make a sham attack on th
iver bank, while General Gibbs, with th
main body, was to storm the works on th
ight, in the direction of batteries six an

The attack was to have taken plac

Colonel Mullens was ordered to retur
