Camp 6eiov New Orleans, 26th Dec. 1914.
The enemy having by the capture OF ouE
gun-boats, obtained commend of the lakes,
were enabled to effect passage to the Mis-
sissippi at point on the side OF New-Orleans,
and about 9 miles below il. The moment !
received the intelligence, l hastened 10 attack
him in his first position. 1t was brought on
10 the nigh, and resulted very honorabiy TO
our arms. The heavy smoke occasioned by
an excessive Gre, rendered il necessary that
should draw off ny troops, after severe
conflict of upwards of an hour.
The attack was made on The night Of the
23d. Since then both armies have remained
near the battle ground, making preparations
for something more decisive,
The eneny's force exceeded ours by doh-
BILE, and their loss was proportionably greater.
The moment / can spare time, will forward
you detailed account. In the mean time
expect something far more important will
take place. hope to be able to sustain the
honor Of our arms, and to secure tho safety
Of this country.

your obedient servant,

by the coemy on their FIRST lending and who
msde his escape from them on Monday night
last. He states that about fzo thousand men
were then in St. Mary's, among which were
great number Of blacks--tha, the day before
he left, one transport, two rocket vessels, and
one bomb ship arrived of the town of St.
Mary's with oumber Of troops from Cum

English officer, that Admiral CocKBu had
arrived, end had brought with him three fhou-
sand men, which were on board of several
transports then laying off the bar--shAt the
enemy had not armed any negroes but few,
who had entered larily--tbat all the
houses and stores in The place were plunder-
ed of every thing in them, and put on board
American vessels taken ia Bell river, which
were ordered down 10 Cumbcrland-that the
town of ST. Maly's did not capi,ula,e but
was taken possession OF by tho enemy without
the slightest opposition--that he saw Captain

Soon after Mr. Jefferson's election tho Whole
territory of Louisiana, including NswOr-

teen millions of dollars, great part of which
was allowed on account Of spolslions. Tacn
Louisiana was widcrness-A bog--a coun-

Cape Of Good Hope, BY the British
ship ofwar Midway, OTIS guns,
United States Ship Wasp.

A report is again current, that the
| Wasp has been captured. We un-
derstand that the prisoners lately
taken on board the tender to the Se-
vern, state. that a convoy which had
arrived at bermuda, passed the Wes-
tern islands about The first of No
yembcr, and that a number of Bril-
fish seamen had beer landed at Ma
deira, composing the crews Of some
vessels sunk by the Wasp. Two
sleops Of war, it is said. Immediately
sailed in pursuit Of her. Shortly at.
ter The convoy reached Bermuda, in
formation was brought to that island
by another vessel, that the sloop Of
war Myrnlidon, had fallen in with
the Wasp, and captured her. after
an action Of two hours. The Mgr
midon. is a new ship, and is rated in
S,eele's List at 20 guns. The length
Of time whici, has elapsed since the
Wasp was last heard from, leaves
room for apprehension that some
misfortune has bcfalleD her--but we
do not believe that she has been TAX
en- by any single sIeop ofwar.
Lieut.. Kearny came up to town
last evening in gig. leaving the
Ho.illa near Devices Island. Lieut..

went in pursuit of the boat that es-
caped from the tender to the Severn.
when taken by our barges on Mon
day last, returned about o'clock
the same evening. with the British
gig, having sn board 6 men. Our
seamen overlook her some way at

ceiying one shot. The number Of

day of THANKSGIVING and of deyout
acknowledgements to almighty God,

No people ought to feel greater

them. to one Of the best portions OF
the dwelling place, allowed for the

protected and cherished them, under
all the difficulties and trials 10 which
they were exposed in their early
days. Under his fostering care,
their habits, their sentiments, ahd
their pursuits. prepared them fer a
transition in due time for state Of
independence & OF self government.
Tn the arduous struggle by which il
was attained, they we're distinguished
by multiplied tokens Of his benign

which succeeded, he reared them
into the strength, & endowed them
with the resources. which have
enabled them to assert their national
