Incidents Of the 'Ba.tlsHof N. orleans.

We take the following interesting Incl
dents Of the above battle from the last New
| Orleans Courier. 1t corrects prevalent err
ror about the breast work of Cotton bags
We have no doubt that the version giyeu
the matter by the brave Major Davezac, who
but recently died in New York, is enti,e civ
correct He WIS one of Gen. Jackson's aids
in those memorable battles, and must have
been we'll informed of what was going on
MEXICAN GULF RAIL RoAD-INcIDeNTs
OF THE BATTLE OF New ORLEANs.-We
have often heard it remarked there were
many gray headed people living within ten
miiesof the Falls Of Niagara, who had nov.
er been to witness the sublime rush of It's
waters. There are many persons living in
the First Municipality, the old quarter OF
New Orleans, to whom the city above Canal
street is a terra incognita. These things
seem astonishing, yet we venture to say that
there are in Lafayette and in New Orleans,
fifty thousand citizens who have never visit
ed tho plains of Chalmette, on which were
| fought the memorable battles of the 23d
December, l lS14, and the 9Th January 1915.
Yet the theatre of these terrible conflicts
may be reached by the Mexican Gulf Rail-
way in half an hour! '.' 2.
There are two incidents Of the events OF
1914 that have been much commented on,
VIZ: the watch word of the Britisfmon the
morning Of the 9Th, Beauty and Boot5;:,, :,
and the reputed breast work of cotton bales,
from behind which the ri]emen of Jackson
poured such q destructive fire. The British
| writer's have made many efforts to prove
that noisuch watch word was given, but IL
has been satisfactorily established that these
were Inducements held out to inspire the
soldiery, and which doubtless urged them to
those desperate; assaults, persevered in with
intrepidity little short Of. madness, until
nearly every 6eld officer, and almost.half
the army, had fallen before the Hi1Sffcan
fire. Dreadful, indeed, would lave sbeen
theifate Of New Orleans, had the snemy,
stimulated with the idea Of beauty and boo
ty,' and infuriated by resistance, succeeded
in forcing the lines Of Gen. Jackson. ..,rt
The English writer's have endeavored to
account for the signal and unexpected de.
feat Of their numerous, well appointed and
ably commanded army, BY asserting that
Jackson, was securely. entrenched behind cot
ton bales-and the statement has become
current and accredited even in this country.
We remember 70 have heard the late Major
Dayezar, an aid Of Gen. acEson, explain
this error, saiid ~ washot true that our.
army was shslt ts1d by cotton bales. The
commanding Genss Had tsken the precau-
tion 70 prevent any Sc IS from floating down,
and thus falling into iSA eneny's 6ands--
