The Daily Dispatch: November 9, 1861., [Electronic resource], Cotton bales as breastworks. (search)
otton it will require for a breastwork five feet high, ten or twenty feet at the base and one mile and a half long, and then study history and ascertain how many bales of cotton were raised in the United States in 1814, and how many bales were in New Orleans in December, 1814? If they figure it out correctly they will speedily ascertain. In the meantime, with the exception of the eighty-two bales of cotton used, (which, by-the-bye, belonged, as did the balance of the two hundred and seventy-seven bales, to our quondam citizen, Vincent Nolte,) the entire breastwork and fortifications of the plains of Chalmette were composed of nothing but real Louisiana mud. Our authorities are now piling up some more miles of mud, and only wish Lincoln, Seward, Cameron and their minions will appear before them at any time before this and next spring. We hope there will be an end to the talk of cotton bales used in the campaign. It it time that history should be respected to refute the assertion.
