January Bth, 1815
Sunday last was the Bth of January
—the anniversary of the ibattle of New
Orleans—a day sacred and dear to
every patriotic American heart. This
great battle was foiight on the Bth of
January, 1815, and was the closing,
blow' against British insolence in the
Aecond war for American Independence.
It proved the superiority of American
over British troops, and covered the
11/11110 of ANDitien JACKSON WlOl a halo
of imperishable glory. This battle wan
really fought after a fr ificles of peace had
been signed between the two countries,
at the city of Dbent, the intelligence of
which, however, dill not reach our goy
eminent in time to preVent the conflict..
The British troops,— tile veterans of
the Peninsula, who had fought under
Wfr.l,l.l!stilllNl in 1118 struggles with the
great NA rtmEos,—were led by Sir En-

.seder General .1 trksoN. It was a
splendid sight. The British soldiers,
their scarlet and white unifurnl :
looked as if they were going out on a
parade, and thardlied proudly and
grandly to the sound of glorious music
from their regimental bands, with the
biuuuvs an d H ags (i t 1 ilii England float
rig gaily above them. But, suddenly,
from the 'llnerican line peals forth a
thunder bound. Cannons, rifles and
niuriketti mute their horrid v oices, sad
bullets like rain, fell upon the advitnc
mg Braid' troovs. Down they go by
hundreds, but Po k 1,511,4,11 rallies them,
and reminds them of their limner glo

Thum closed the battle of New 1 /dentin,
the :litith anniversary of which occurred
on Sunday last. It hurled back a
proud and insolent enemy, who nought

the cry of "beauty and booty." They
came on to revel in love and luxury,
hut retired to bitterly repent their folly.
In place of tender arms they found
bloody graves and buileta in place of
booty.
The Bth of January ought to be cele
brated by American's everywhere with
spirit and fervor. We fear we are lor
getting the gallant deeds of our ances
tors, which secured to us so much.
Even the 4th ofJuly seems to be going
into oblivion. Let us hereafter revive
the glorious memories of these days,
and commemorate them in the future
as 111 former times.
----Speaking of 0 T for President .
in 1872, the New York Sun says,
"URVT'S administration has demon
strated that beds neither a statesman
of broad views nor a politician of or
dinary shrewdness,"and that "the rank
and tile of the party who do not seek
oflice and have no corrupt jobs to pro
mote, are earnest in the conviction
that the campaign of 1872 ought not
to be embaransed with the dead-weight
of General Ilittwesblunders and imbe•
cilities." Tlie editor - of the Sun is Mr.
DANA, who was A lIKA RAM 'LINCOLN'S
assistant Secretary of War. Such lan
guage from him is ROL very flattering
to our friend of the White House, and
looks ,as if he wad ,try t ing to go back on
somebody. Poor GRANT—aII the re•
spectable portion of his party, if ever
ally portion of it was respectable, is
deserting him, and his chance for
other turm,through a popular election,
is about on an equality with BEN BUT
