REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE,
On the causes of the mortality of the de„
tachmcnt at A. Orleans:
HOUSE OF REP R E S E NT A TIVE S.
April 27, 1S10.
The committee, in obedience to a resoitficn which
passed the House of Heprestntau v s of the
United States, on the 13'/* •/ Almc/i last, in
structing them to inefuire into the cause or cau
ses of the great mortality in the detachment
of the army ef the United Statts, ordered for
the defence of New-C/rlcans, respectfully sub
unit the following
' * REPORT:
The committee perceived at the instant their
attention was directed to ihe subject referred to
Ihetn, its importance, difficulty and extent. The
solicitude which was expressed for the acquisi
tion of accurate information, and the manner in
■which the inquiries of the committee were point
ed to a specific object, stimulated them to ful
fil, to the utmost of their power, the expectati
on and desire of the House. In performing' the
duties assigned to them, they necessarily had
many difficulties to encounter ; these consisted
in collecting, collating and arranging a multitude
cf facts and circumstances, which had their
origin in a distant territory, and the dissimilar
aspects in w'deli the same object would be re
presented, according to the medium through
xvhich it had been seen. Not discouraged at
the prosp ct of such labors, they proceeded to
commence them with every disposition, 8t with all
the patience so essential to ensure a fair, candid
end impartial disclosure of the state of the de
tachment of Uie army ordered to New-Orleans.
To accomplish a purpose every way so desira
ble and interesting, and likewise to obviate ob
jections, the committee, on mature deliberation
and reflection, determined to make a pi on and
succinct statement of facts, as the method l est
Odeulatod to impart itnformat ion and to guide
the understanding in the formation of a correct
judgment
In pursuing this plan, which the committee
early laid down for their observance, they are
led to present to the House, in a narrow com
piss, the correspondence which passed between
the department of war and the commanding of
ficer.
N<*xi in order, the number of troops sent to
New Orleans, and the present effective force.
The measures taken for paying the troops,
and the precautions observed for ensuring a
prompt sopplj of sound «nd wholesome provisi
ons for their subsistence.
The instructions given to the military agent
by the department of war, nnd the authority in
vested in tne commanding officer over the mili.
tary agent, as gathered from ttie instruction*
TJmlt r this heau wili be included whatever re
lates to clothing, and medical and hospital stores.
The depositions taken by the committee.
I.astly. the causes which, in the opinion of
the committee, produced the mortality in that
detachment cf the army.

A letter from the Secietaryof War, dated
February 24, 1810, in answer to one addressed
to him in obedience to the direction of the com
mittee requesting inhumation on the subject
Submitted to them.
The Secretary says, “ 1 have the honor accor
dingiy herewith to submit to their inspection a
transcript ol the original order, bearing dale De
cember 2, 18^8, designating the force destined
fiir the defence ol New-Orleans, and of the
subsequent orders from tins department, toge
ther with such extracts from the letters of the
commanding General, as relate to the selection
and occupancy of, and the removal of the troops
from, the encampment cf Terre au Boruf.”
(A) No. 2.
On the 2* of December, 1808, the Secretary
pf War, (General Henry Dcarborne,) in a let
ter to General James Wilkinson, says, I am di
fected by the President of the United States, to
fcave the necessary measures tuk.cn, w ithout de
lay, for assembling as large a proportion of our
tegular troops at Ntw-Orleuns aud its vicinity,
as circumstances will permit.” Immediately tul
lowing this ex'.ract, the regiments and compa
ties destined for New Orleans are designated,
and the previous preparatory arrangements con
nected with the movements, are directru to nr
jtiade. The letter then concludes : 1 Y<m will
please to take measures lor being at New
Orleans, in season to take command of the ar
my ill that department, an early as practicable,
sutd to have such a disposition ot the troops in
ih».t department formed, as will most effectually
entble yuu to defend New Orleans and its de
pendencies against any invading force In cube
©f tihorgency, you are authorised by the l’re
sidtut of tilt UmLcri Slatt e, to Call on the Go
seniors of the Orleans and Mississippi Territo
lies, for such detac hments of the militia as may
lie deemed necessary.
On tb< 3!) h of April, 1809, the Secretary of
"War, IWiibm Eustis, Esq j addressed a let
ter to General Janies Wiikmsc.n, expressing
great antic y ands.ilicitude for the healtli of tiit
troops A! to apprehensions on this impor
tant p«fnt, l«e proceeds to s-.y, *• on inspecting
tlie general instruct ions given by this departure nt,
2dof December, lth;8, it appeals, that tlie troops
weictobe ask* mbled at Ncw-Orleans : an ap
prehension that sl.c letter of this instruction may
lie construed to limit any measures which yfmr
©wn judgment might suggest respecting a
change of position, induces me to remove any
such obstacle-, il’it tl il have had an influence.
Evthe returns ol the 24th of March, it appear*
that more than one f. uith part ot tlie troops
were sick Without a knowledge of thir hvet,
tiie removal of the army from New Orleans du
ring the summer and autumnal months is mig
»v every consideration of prudence and
•xprricntC. If, therefore, such removal shall
pe t, on receipt of iliib letter, litve been already
commerced, you v ill be pleased to give the ne

On the 29th ot Jrfay, l«b9, general Jar VVil

He s y», “ After much inquiry, 1 have delermi

It was a difficult matter, from the localities of

ventages of the position are, private ground, pri

its advantage* are, promised health, the best wa

Letter from general XVitkmson to the Secretary of
War, uuteil Ccmfi, 1'errc au Hex.:}, June Id,
18' >9.
“ Your letter of the 30th April, and 4rh nit.
did not reach New Orleans uiuil the last mail,
the 14th instant, though we received at the same
time the President’s speech l am happv that I
have so tar anticipated your wishes as to have en
camped the troops, though 1 have not sought the
positionym recommended ; nor should I haw
done so while permitted to exercise in? discreti
on, and lor the following reasons: The move*
meat to Fort Adams or to Natchez, must have
been made by water, as the Sprunards will not
permit our pass, gv through West Florida : the
toil, the lime an-i exposition to the sun in ascen
ding tlie rive?, one hundred leagues, with a carp*
of two thousand, would probably have diseased
nine tenths of the men, many of whom were in
a convalescent state, and as many sick.” The ge
neral then states the expence of transportation ;
that the position is too remote for the seasonable
protcctioi of Ft Orleans against external attack
or internal commotion ; that the uppar country
might prove more sickly than the bank ot the
Mississippi; that the movement to Terr<jsau
Bumf was made without inconvenience to the
well, or injury to the sick, and at tio expence be
cause the Chalons which transported them will
be employed in erecting the necessary temporary
buildings ami for flooring the Unis The gene
ral further slates, that tile position taken is re
freshed by soa breezes, and that although more
than lire hundred sick and convalescent were
brought to the ground which had been previous
ly occupied by five hundred and sixty men, from
the 1st instant not more than three men di d, &.
one of these of an apoplexy : that the morning re
ports of the 13lh and 16th will exhibit a frightful
return ol the sick : “ yet, says he, you are to un
derstaiid that nine tenths are strongly convales
cent, and are returned sick to prevent tlieir be
ing detailed for the general fatigues, to \» liich we
are now, and shall be for some time to come, ne
cessarily exposed ” After mentioning that the
safety ot those who are intrusted t-his charge
impress him with an awful sense of responsibili
ty, and will occupy all his attentions, lie proceeds
to say : '* It is a source of pleusiirab.e reflection
to me, that the aspects and accommodation of
the position hate prepossessed every man and
officer in its favor. We have a good mai ktt ot
vegetables, nhlk, eggs and fowls, from the set
tlements oV Terre au Bosuf” He then speaks of
urrangcuu-nis in the suttling department ; wish
es to be advised whether it is the intention ot go
vernment to erect a cantonment, as one would be
necessary either at Matches or Terre au tttcuf: if
the latter, cxpences of such establishment are
set forth. He then says, “ 1 submit these obser
vations to you tor your consideration as is niy du
ty, to aid your judgment, and shall be ready to
execute the presidential will.”
The Secretary of jrar to #eti. Janies Wilkinton,
dated IVar Department, ’June 2'2, ldJ9.
“ Beu.g unable 10 perceive any advantages in
the position vvlucuyou hart: selected lor an en
campment, hs stated in y.nir letter of tlie 23th of
May, which g;ie it a preference over the high
ground in tne rear of fort Adams, or its vicinity,
to which i; y letter of the SOth ol April directed,
conditionally, the removal of the troops ; I am
left to presume eithei that my letter has not been
received, or dial some causes unknown to n-e ft
reconcileable with tne object stated in that letter
have governed your decision. On receiving tins
letter, you will he pleased immediately to embark
all the troops, leaving a sufficient garrison of eld
troops at New Orleans and tort St. Philip, and
proceed with them to the hign ground in the rear
of foil Adams, and to the fngn ground in the
real of Natchez (the public giound) ami form
encampments i dividing them rq iully, or in such
proportions, between the two places, us your
own judgment shall direct. The inclosed copy
of an order from the navy department will pre*
sent you the means of iransportaiion Tne move
ment of the troops will be committed entirely to
your direction.”
13y a teller bearing date, Camp Terre au Ecetif
3u!y s8d,lbd9, general vVitkmson acknowled
ges that the preceding ordwi had come to his
hand : he says, 4* your duplicate of the 22d ult.
reached New-Orleans by last mail, on the 19ih,
and came to my hands on tne night of the 20i.li,
at lu o’clock : the original has'Hot yet arrived,
i he pei emptuiy tenor oi your order lor the re
moval of die liv.ops, lias n lieved me from an op
pressive toad oi lesponsibility, and 1 have not
lost a moincni in entering on the execution.” He
stau s the impossibility ol commuting the effects
oi tne climate ; that it will he in vain to seek re
luge from disease in that region with unseasoned
j-ccruits. He also states that when possession
wustiken of the present healthful sc te at Co
lumbian Springs, near Ibrt Adams, 24ii men were
dov, n st one tune out ol about 5uu. Alter men
boning some things relating to the movement of
the detachment up the river, lie sajs, “ you will
discover from my letter of the 18di ultimo, the
causes which opposed our ascent of the river;
tlie employ of the gun boats removes the ct
pcusc, and the labor of the sailors will saVe that
ol the troops, but tile tardiness of the movement
and tlie heat ol the sun in dog days, must endan
ger our hcaltn ”
Ah* r expressing Ins sense ot the necessity of
economy, end stating that tlm establishment hail
cost something, but that the cost will bear corn
parison with antecedent expenses ; he then men
lions that tltr public cost in future would not ex
ceed six or eight hundred dollars per month the
tear round, for every incidental expense, wood,
I*a»iurage rnd quarters included : and concludes
tlius, “ under ail circumstances, 1 m ist frank iy
•ay, 'liR^, was my discretion permitted, I should
<t«y here and hazard the consequences} hut as
there would be hazard, I am glad of your order !
tu move, not only as it lessens rny responsibility,
, but because the change of place may prove Salu
1 tary to our mtn ; in all events you may depend on
i whatevei my judgement, experience, personal
exposition and attentions can effect.”
