His military talents were fully equal to the occasion. In various expeditions against the Creeks, he had already evinced that iron energy, indomitable perseverance, and ceaseless activity, so necessary to a commanding officer. He was the general for an emergency. Not one of the wavering, but a man who would keep his object as steadily before him as the mariner his port, and trample down and crush without remorse whoever barred the path. A character indispensable in a chief, for in war especiall...y success is the only thing worth consideration. On the 2d of December, 1814, General Jackson arrived in New- Orleans, on his return from Pensacola. The city was in great con- fusion. Committees of all kinds were disputing, quarrelling, and more desirous to fight each other than the enemy. His appearance restored tranquillity, for he had that strength about him on which men in danger willingly rely. The General lost no time in tardy delibera- tions. Martial law was proclaimed ; the writ of habeas corpus sus- pended ; free men of color and prisoners em-olled ; the Baratarians welcomed to the ranks ; and every point which he thought menaced by the attack, visited and fortified.
