OUR DEFENSES.

.. OUR DEEENSES.
The government, we are given to un.
derstand, is about to erect Notifications
at Gorton's Landing to protect the valley
of Red River. Tant mieur, if the works
will accomplish the object in view That
they. will fail to do SO, however, is the
universal belief in this parish and we
dare say, of every body else, the gen.
tlemen Of the kept and army contrac.
tors excepted. Notifications whenever
they may be constructed, require armies
to protect them, and armies are the things
We need most and are least able to raise.
To think of putting conscripts and mi
litia-men behind earthworks to protect
them from assault is sheer nonsense -
We want disciplined troops Tor that pur-
pose, men who have smelled the smoke
Of pitched battles and who know what it
is to make and repel attacks.
But>admitting that we have the guns
to arm these Notifications, any one at
all acquainted with the geography Of the
country knows that a battery placed at
Gorton's Landing could be hanked with
the greatest ease. A force could be
landed four or five miles below the bat
terv. and. ,noroL:-~- +t,~---'> A. ---'-
~ -, ,..,,,ug ,uluuSu ."e NGous
in the rear Of the plantations, would be
as efectually protected from our shot as
if they Were behind the walls Of their
steel clad ships. There would be no
stream but bayou Rouge to arrest thain
and that could be easily crossed by a
pontoon bridge what is there then to
prevent the battery from being fianked
and attacked in the rear! Nothing but
an insignificant swamp stream. which
fifty men could bridge in two days.
The idea of locating this battery at
Gorton's Landing seems to be founded
upon the notion that the enemy will de-
lay his expedition until the river is full
and the swa,nps covered with water.-
But in this our military is surely reck-
oning without its host.
The boats destined for the Red River
expedition are of exceeding light draught,
although powerfully built They are
cased in iron and with their crews. ar
maments and stores will not draw more
than eight feet of water, Or, in other
words, WILDE able to go wherever an
ordinary Red River steamboat could
with full cargo Of cotton on board
These boats are now being built OH the
Ohio and upper Mississippi and are near
ly ready4for their intended work. We
see in our last exchanges that Com.
Porter has gone to St, Louis to take
command Of this fotilla, and in very
short time we must expect to hear of
them at the mouth of Red River. If
they: find twelve feet Of water in the
Riyer they can ascend without any diff
cul.y, and we know that twelve feet
will,not overflow the swamps unless it
be near the mouth. With the winter
rains at hand how long must we wait
before that depth Of water is found on
the sballowest bars! If this battery is
located at Gorton's Landing, the people
might as we'll begin their preparations
to move into the interior, for other.
wise we see no possible chance to save
.'their property.
