GENERAL JAcxsoN's RATTLE.

Sixty-threc years ago to-day General jackson from
behind his bales ut New Orleans With his
trained but ardent soldiers, repulsed the British
veterans in tho famous battle with which his name
will DO forever identified. The British had early IN
defended the city OF New Orleans and on tho ed of
that month General Keano, with tho vanguard OF tho
invading army, encamped within nine miles OF tho
city. Immediately upon tho capture OF the fleet
General Jackson had declared martial law and
disposed his troops TO protect tho city His
force made up Of the militia OF Louisiana and
three adjacent States, few regulars, battalion OF
negroes ind some Barbarian privatecrsnen. He was
informed OF tho arrival OF Keanc within few hours
alter tho tvenI, and with his characteristic decision
he marshalled his forces and attacked tho enemy
very night. The result was not decisive, though
favorable TO the Americans and Jackson tell back TO
the canal four miles from the city. and there
struccd his famous line. The Brit sh attacked him
upon tho 2Sh and Ggan upon New Years Day,
with heavy loss. On the 9Th OF January
the English resolved upon a decisive attack.
Tie American icrce, to the number OF 1900, was
stretched along the LETT bank OF tho Mississippi, dis
chief point Of General Pakenham's attack as
that commanded tho lott bank. On the night OF tho
7th Colonel Thornton crossed the rivor and attncKed
the Americans on tho right bank. In the meantime
on the opposite bank, wnere General Jack
son commanded IN person. Tho Engllsh
repulscd with q loss OF about TWO thousand IN
killed. wounded and prisoners. Sir Edward Packcn-
ham was killed, General Gibbs was mortalY wounded
ana General keane worry severely injured II is said
that the Amt rlcan loss only seven killed and SIX
wounded. Colonel Thornton succeeded in dslodsng
the Americans ON tho right bank and that virtually
gave him command OF the lett bank but tho English
too much dishcartened to seize tho advantage,
ana ten days later were In full retreat.
