Upon his capture by these soldiers Jackson showed that High and indomitable which he has been so much dist being ordered by the Leader of the party to clean the mud off his youth peremptorily refused to do at tie same time the treatment due to a prisoner of War. The officer enraged aimed a blow at his head with a Sabre which would have pro Ved fatal had he not parried it with his left hand on which he received a severe wound.

In this Retreat about ten Nashville on the cum Berland River he spent several years Chappy in of Rural and Jio wife and a Cir Cle of one Nils. The recurrence of a War with great Bri Tain however called him Forth from Bis in treat.

A Ane however enabled him to survive this com plication of soon recovered and the enjoyment of his Patrimony. This though would have enabled him to Complete his education on a Liberal scale but peace being again restored and Jackson unused 10 the management of pecuniary affairs and surrounded by evil example soon went through his Small inheritance. Instead How Ever of surrendering himself up to As is the Fate of most Young men in similar circumstances he Cut Short his career of dissipation and repairing to Salisbury n. C.

Here Success attended in the Middle of Winter in a period of unusual cold he conducted his troops As far As Natchez where be encamped and employed himself for some time in training his undisciplined soldiers. The danger from Bri Tish invasion on the Southwest passed Over and Jackson received orders from the Secre tary of War immediately to disband Bis troops and to hand Over to general Wilkin commanding the South Western division of the regular his munitions of War military stores wagons in the situation in which the troops of Gen Jack son were then placed this could have been done without much suffering to his Many were sick in his Camp and most of these rail Tia were of respectable families in.

The Creek nation of indians excited by the celebrated Warrior Tecumseh and by British emissaries had committed several both Arous outrages on the Frontier set loss upon the Side of the victors was about 50 killed and 150 wounded. The Battle of Toh Opeka completely broke the the indians and they shortly of for peace. The Campaign being now ended issued orders for the disbanding the troops which was accordingly done.

In spite of All these gloomy prospects general Jackson continued to make his preparations for defence. On the i4th of december a Large British Force entered the Lake Borgne and captured the american there stationed. It was now expected that they would make a pain and was to return to when he ascertained that Callava the governor of Pensacola bad been affording pro Lection to the enemy he therefore at the head of 1200 me marched against this place and occupied it with United states soldiers.
