An Incident Of the Battle of

Minor incidents surrounding
great events are always received
with pleasure, as in a measure de-

characteristics, and giving to us
as it were fuller, clearer defined
outline OF those historic occur
rences.
The battle of New Orleans has
for the people of our city most
peculiar charm about it, and any
thing looking to clearing away
of the smoke OF the past is relished
as a bon boatcte.
One little incident we have never
seen published:
a very few weeks before the bat
tie, Com. Patterson and Lieut.
Ross, of the United States navy,
armed with the warrant Oh the
United States Court sitting here,
made a descent on Lahtta at his
headquarters at Barataria, and
captured several of bis sohoaners
and some sixty of his men.
Latitte himself managed To es-
cape, bnt afterwards, through the
good Offices of friend, made

Reaching Fort st. Carlos, which
stood where the Mint now is, at
the corner of Esplanade and the
leEee, he halted his troops, and
made the astounding discovery
that although bis men were well
armed they had no hints to their
guns. Men were sent in every di-
rection, but none could be found.
I'm this situation Gen. Planche
was naturally alarmed, but happily
Lafitte came by where the Gem

his wants, at ones informed him
that he need not bother about
that. Hurrying over to one Of the

The I4th oa septeanber.


From the New Orleans Sunday Delta.
As long as sympaty exists for
an oppressed people-as long as
deeds of vaIor command the adj
miration of mankind-as long as
hatred of tyranny stirs the blood
and nerves the arm, 80 long win
the glorious day, the anniversary
of which is near at hand, be dear
to the people of Louisiana. The
precious blood poured out on that
memorable day saved rs from be-
coming the victims of the most in
famous government on the face of
the earth. Had the myrmidons of
the Grant-Kellogg usurpation
oEerthroWn our young braves on
that day, not a vestige of liberty
would have been left to the white
citizens of this State. 1t is unfor-
tunately true that we have not as
yet reaped the full fruits of VIC
tory it is shamefully true that the
usurper still holds the position to
which he has no better claim than
any villain might, backed with
force, assert; it is a modification
that still upon the soil redeemed
with the blood of our brothers.
any of the vile brood vino aimed
to enslave us, are permitted to
live but we have the satisfaction
of knowing that their DAYS are
numbered, and that in a few short
months the representatives of the
people, assembled at Washington,
will come to our aid, and the men
who have been the plant tools of
tyrants, and who have shown their
willingness to destroy us that party
rule might be perpetuated, will
find they have Yentured on a sea
which will surely engulf them.

can party, the downfall of Grant,
the death-blow to Cesarism and
Capitalization, was given on the
glorious and ever to be remem-
bered 14th day of September. ALI
honor to it; everlasting poems and
crowns of unfading glory to the
brave men who risked and lost
their lives on that eventful day.
When to love liberty and ones
country is considered sentimental
ism when men are willing TO sink
the highest aspirations of their
souls Tor the hope of gain when
to respect the dictates of prudence,
at the expense of honor, ceases to |
excite disgust, and when to live in
degradation is thought to be more
sweet than death in the assertion
of rights, which all v;rtuous minds |
holds dear, then and not until then |
