To the Editors of the Centinel.
Messrs. Pasteur & Watson,
You will oblige , your friend, the nn
undersigned, and perhaps do no harm to
some, at least, of yourj numerous young
readers, by giving the following a passport
into their hands. !
" Learn to hejwise from others ill,
And you will learn to do full well."

"I was amusing my j family last night,
sir," so said jto me Jlately a Virginia
Sage of the very first class, " with coun
ting up those who were the Grandees of
this part of our country five and forty
years ago, when I w.as ayoung man; and,
out of near fifty of them, I can find but
tico, whose children retain their large pa
trimonial estates and fhigh standing.''
Great God ! who, without sinking of spi
rits, can think of all these dismal wrecks !
of such horrible downfal of families, once
so exalted and glorious, while they stood
their names; the pleasant theme of; ev
ery tongue their splendors, the deligh ted
gate of every eye arid whose generous
sires.so bravely bustled' through life to
buy them rich farms, and build them
grand houses, and plant them orchards,
and gardens, and pleasure plats of every
kind; fondly counting that they should
live over again in all these, delights and
glories, Whicb they. were 'providing for
their beloved children and yet that these
favored children, so flush and fair, who,
in private pleasure and public usefulness
and honor, might have lived for time im
memorial, like the delegated gods of their
country should!, in so short a term as
five and fortyiyears, have squandered all,
and turned themselves out, mere beggars
and blackguards, to feed the swine ! !
And now, sirs,- whom had these poor
self-murderers to thank for all this ?-
Why none, sirs, but their own most in
famous vices-f-their own Idleness, and
Drinking, and Gambling ; their fatal con
tempt of marriage, with illicit amours,
and midnight carousings and roarings,
and midday isleepings and neglects of
business. These were the harpies, sirs,
that devoured their estates, and called in
the Constables and Sheriffs to sell off their

BATTLE OF NEW ORLEANS.
From the Boston Daily jjfdverjiser.
The author of A Narrative lof the
Campaigns of the British arpiy at Wash
ington arid New-Orleans, gives a particu
lar account of the movements of the fleet
from the Chesapeake to Jamaica, and
thence to the neighborhood fof New-Or-
leans, of the landing of the troop
and
of the several act ions before j the
After describing the unsuccssful
attack
upon our lines from their 3tteries on
the first of January, he proceeds tb give
the following account of the Sissault which
was made on the 8th. i '
" It was determined to divide the ar
my, to send some across thei rivei-, who
should seize the enemy's gijns and tarri
them on themselves; while if e remainder
should at the same time mate a general
assault along the whole entrenchment.
Bat before this plan could :be ptit into
execution, it would be necesijary to cut a
canal across the enure necsw ianu,irom
the Bayou de Catiline to tye river, of
sufficient width and depth to 'admit of
boats being brought up from the lake.
Uoon this arduous undertakingwere the

1 25,000 to De, about the probable num-
oer.j
- 4f The canal as I have stated, being n
ished on the 6th, it was resolved to loose
t no time Jn making use of it. Boats were
accordingly ordered for the transporta
tion of MOO men ; and Colonel Thorn
ton with die 85th regiment, the' marines
and party of sailors, were ordered to
cross the river. But a number of unto
ward accidents occurred, in snAil a nfin
f , i - ' T
iwi uucrauun as accurately laiuuown as any
in the course of the war. The soil thro
which the canal was dug being soft, parts
of the bank gave way, and choaking up
the channel, prevented the heaviest of
the boats from getting forward. Thesa
again blocked up the passage, so that
none of those which were behind could '
proceed, and thus, instead of a flotilla for
the accommodation of 1400 men, only a
number of boats sufficien t to contain 350
were enabled to reach their destination.
Even these did not arrive at the time ap
pointed. According to th preconcerted
plan Colonel Thornton's detached men,
were to cross the river immediately after
dark. They were to push forward so as
to carry all the batteries, and point thi
guns before day light ; when on the throw
ingupofa pocket, they were to com
mence firing upon the enemy's line, which
at the same mpment was to be attacked
by the main body of. our army.
In this manner was one part of the
force to act, while the rest were thus ap- v
pointed. Dividing his troops into three
columns, SirEdward directed that Gen
eral Keane at the head of the 95th, the
light companies of the! 1st, 4th, and 44th,
together with two black corps, should
make a demonstration, or sham attack
upon the right, that general Gibbs, with
the 5th, 2 1 st, 44th and 03d, should force
the enemy's left, while Gen.. Lambert
with the 7th, and 43d, remained in re
serve, ready to act as circumstances might
require. But, in storming an entrenched
position, something more than bare court
age is required. Scaling ladders and fas
cines had, therefore, been prepared, with
which to fill up the ditch and mount the
wall ; and since to carry these was a se.
vice-of danger, requiring a corps well
worthy of dependance, the 44th was for
that purpose selected, as a regiment of
sufficient numerical strength, and already
accustomed to American warfare. Thuj
were all! things arranged on the night of
the 7th, for the 8th was fixed upon as the :
day decisive of the fare of New-Orleans.
Whi(e the rest of the army, there- ,
fore, lay down to sleep till they should be
roused up to fight, Colonel Thornton
with the 85th, and a corps of marines and
seamen, amounting in all to 1400 men,
moved down to the brink of the river.
As yet however, no boats had arrived
hour after hour had elapsed before they
came ; and when they did come, the mis
fortunes which I have stated above we.ru
discovered, for out of all that had been
ordered up dnly a few made their ap- ,
pearance. Still it was absolutely neces
sary that this part of the plan should ho
carried into execution. Dismissing, there
fore the rest of bis followers, the Colonel
put himself at the head of his own regi
ment, about fifty seamen, and as many
marines, and with this small force, con
sisting of no more than 340 men pushedoff.
But unfortunately, the loss of time nothing
could repair. Instead of reaching the
opposite bank, at least by midnighr,
-dawn was beginning to appear before the
boats quitted the canal. It was in .vain
that they rowed on in perfect silence,
with oar muffled, gaining the point of
debarkation without being perceived. It
was in vain that they made good their
landing! and formed upon '..the beach,
without! opposition or alarm; day had
already j broke, and the signal rocket waft ,
seen in the air, while they were yet four
miles from the batteriesV which ought
hours ago to have been taken.
lo the mean time the maid body armed
and moved forward some way in front of
the piqyets. There they stood waring for
day-light, and listening with the greatest
anxiety; for the firing which ought now
to be heard on the opposite bank! - But
this attention was exerted in vain, and
day dawned upon them before they de-
sired Hi appearance. Nor- was Sir d- :
