From the Literary Cadet.

General Adair and General Jackson.
Our readers will probably reCollect, that
soon after the battle Of New-Orleans, news
naper controversy was carried on between Cen
sral Adair and Jackson, which was called forth
by the circumstance of Jackson's having assert
ed in his Official despatch to the War Depart
men,. that the Kentucky troops, at the Battle
Of the 9Th of January, 'ingloriously fed soon
after the commencement Of the contest" The
controversy was an animated one, and was dis
tnguished by degree Of bitterness, seldom
Witnessed in collisions between individuals OF
eminent standing.
Gen Adair defended the reputation OF the
kentucky troops against the denunclations OIL
The proud Tennesseian, with much ability and
warmth, and finally challenged Jackson TO SIM
gle combat, which challenge would probably
have produced the effect desired by the. par
ties, but for the interposition Of that venerated
and lamen,ed Hero of Kings Mountain, Gene
ral Isaac Shelby In one of his essays, Gen.
Adair thus spoke Of General Jackson. "He is
loud, noisy and abusive. Nature seems TO have
formed him in mind and disposition for tav-
sn or town bully, but unfortunately denied him
the physical power necessary. His praise or
bis blame, his enmity or friendship, can excite
no feelings in my mind but contempt for his
mean malignity as man, and his dishonora-
Die par:ialily as an officer" The presidential
sleeton being fairly opened in the West, MIR
Warden Pope, of Louisville, Kentucky, the IN
corrigible, political and personal enemy OF Mr.
Clay, and the advocate Of Gen. Jackson's IN
ltrest, addressed letter to General Adair,
endeayoring 10 call from him reply favorable
TO The rennesseian, and asked Of him his opin-
ION OF General Jackson's merit at the battle of
New-Orleans. To this Gen. Adair has given
response, which is exceedingly "cautious, cour-
eous, and diplomatic" and from which we
make the following extract, which has been
used quite aeyantageously by the opposition
presses, who expect, by making Gen. Adair
friendly TO Gen. Jackson, toinJure the admins
ration cause in Kentucky, and TO win the Gen
sral the suffrage of Kentucky.
The commander in chief of an army, in diff,
aeult and complicated service, must possess a
COOL calculating head, vigorous mind, ra-
pidily Of reasoning, with clear perceptions, that
WIN bring him atonce to- his conclusions, upon
Which he is ready 10 act-for time with him is
