Particular Notice.

A 7 the instance OF Friends, We have sent out be
~ yOnd the usual issue, six thousand full sets of
the DEMOCRATIC REVIEW, for the year 1852,
to leading citizens i'll various parts of the country
Those who do not wish to retain them will oblige
us by passing them over to some progressive friend
who may be favorable to the progressive doctrines
ofthe Democratic party. The sum of FIVE DOL
LARS will be received in such us payment for
1852 and 1858.
The Review is now undergoing new business ar
rangements. The next will be triple number
issued Immediately after the Inauguration, and
will contain full exposition of the policy of the
incoming administration.
This notice is given to prevent impositions on
our friends by designing men. We can give every
assurance that the Democratic Review is in n fair
way otltving much longer than any other re view
or magazine in the world. And whether in the
hands OF its present managers or not, it will al
ways pursue the path it has pursued in 1852 and
advocate the doctrines of the Progressive Demo
cratic School, and none other.
Though rarely up to date, but never behind
time. Inc present number, concluding the vol
ume, contains sixty more pages than we owe our
subscribers for the year 1852. The excess is how
ever, but small expression of our goodwill TO the
warm hearted Young Democracy who have cheer

FaIse HISTORY Corrected.

The New Orleans Delta Genounces as
q hoax an account of Gen. Jackson's re-
miniscence of the Battle of New Orleans,
communicated to the Savannah Journal by
q Philo- Jackson" as the fruits of visit
to the old Hero at the Hermitage in 1899.
AS the narrative found its way into our
columns. we deem it proper to publish
the denial of the Delta which says that the
Store boxes, bags of sand, &c, are even
mora fiction than the cotton bales. =
Some of the latter were undoubtedly used
in making the mound-it is humbug to
call it forti6cation-but they were found
more dangerous than effective, as the can
non balls from the enemy's batteries
knocked them out of place, and the cot
ton, strewed about the lines, would catch
fire and endanger the American anu
milton. But what use was there for
any cotton bales, store boxes, or
bags of sand. when there was plenty of
good earth to dig up and throw into a
heap in front of the men, which opposed
q much better resistance than boxes of
any article? TWAS this happy conception
which rendered Jackson's entertainment
so strong and it was the want of reflec-
ton and common sense of the English
Engineers, in making their batteries of
boxes and hogsheads of sugar, instead of
common dirt, to which we may ascribe
disastrous result of the British lombard
ment on the 1st of January, when, in
few hours, their whole works were blown
to atoms, and nearly all their guns dis
mounted But the most absurd part of
the foregoing story, is that which repre-
sents the British General as riding up to
Gen. jackson to surrender his sword
This is an entirely new fact, that the Brit
fish surrendered on that occasion. The
general impression was, that they held
their owu-retired from the feld-and
that Gen. jackson positively forbade his
men to pursue them, as they were still
stronger than his force. Gen. Lambert
the only General left untouched-lay
quietly with his command in ditch, from
which at night he withdrew beyond reach
Of the American batteries. Why he
should leave his safe place, abandon his
command of four thousand, and ride for
ward to surrender his sword to Gen. Jack
son, and then be knighted therefor by
Great Britain, will excite as much curlosl-
ty and surprise as the statement that the
Americans strengthened their lines by
throwing ladders and fascines over to the
British. the very things they wanted
