Iackson's Night Attack upon the Bri-
iiSh.

We have no design 10 write out an account Of
the campaign at New Orleans. Our purpose is
to vindcnte the night attack of Jackson from The
curious biuHders the two American writer's haye
made abou, It, Mr. HeadIy, in bis romance called
the Lie of Jackson, speaks OF the night attack as
failure and the author of The biography OF jack
son in 8. Harpers Magazine " says Jackson was
repuIsed. Ii is shameful that an American writer
should betray such culpabie ignorance of one OF
the most brilliant and useful deeds OF American
arms Can the writer OF either OF these brilliant
statements have any proper conception OF the sub
iect upon which he was writing7 What solitary
authority is there, wha, shade Of excuse is in ex-
is,ence for such statement? There was not an
officer nor soldier under Jackson, at New Or
leans, that suspected that he failed in his object
or was repuIsed in the least degree on the night

iHE oPEEousAs RAILRoAp.-The regular pas
senger and freight trains of the Opelousas
railroad commenced running regularly to the
Ierrebonne Crossing, says the Thibodaux Mi
nerva Of Saturday, on Monday last, the ID inst.
This new link, three miles in length, completes
the worst portion on the whole line of the road
from Algiers to Opelousas, and has clearly esta-
olished that there is nothing impossible with the
fankee nation, when once it determines to 90
ahead The new connection, is all important to
the railroad, as it will secure to it the entire
crop OF the Parish of Terrebonne removed from
the sea-board. There now remains but six
miles OF track yet to be laid to complete the
road to Tigerville, which, we learn. is being
pushed forward with the greatest alacrity, and,
weather permitting, will be completed by the
10th Of October, if not sooner. Speed forward
the good work, and all honor to the President
ana Directors for their energy, activity and
efficiency.
