nited States. At the close of February, Map of the battle at Tohopeka. Jackson found himself at the head of 5,000 men. Supplies were gathered, and at the middle of March the troops were ready to move. Meanwhile the Creeks, from experience, had such premonitions of disaster that they concentrated their forces at the bend of the Tallapoosa River, in the northeast part of Tallapoosa county, Ala., at a place called Tohopeka, or Horseshoe Bend, a peninsula containing about 100 acres of land. White men from Pensacola and half-bloods hostile to the United States aided them in building a strong breastwork of logs across the neck of the peninsula. They pierced it with two rows of port-holes, arranged in such a manner as to expose the assailants to a cross-fire from within. Back of this was a mass of logs and brush; and at the foot of the peninsula, near the river, was a village of log-huts, where hundreds of canoes were moored, so that the garrison might have the means of escape if har

ll military men. In the field, such of the regiments as had hunting-shirts were required to wear them. In the summer of 1782 the uniform of the infantry and cavalry were prescribed as follows: Blue ground, with red facings and white linings, and buttoned, the artillery and sappers and miners to retain their uniforms. The cavalry had brass helmets, with white horse-hair. It was found difficult to procure the prescribed color for clothing, and the order was only partially complied with. White facings were generally used; the buff rarely, excepting by the general officers. At the close of the Revolution some of the colonels of infantry wore black, round hats, with black and red feathers. During the period of the Confederation the troops retained substantially the uniform of the Continental army. In 1787 the shoulderstrap of dark blue edged with red first made its appearance. In 1792 bear-skincovered knapsacks, instead of linen painted ones, were first issued to the troops. In

Calhoun suspected that their private correspondence was tampered with by their political opponents in the post-office (Lib. 6.64); and as early as 1830, Henry Clay, to guard against the treachery of the post-office, advised Webster to address him under cover, and proposed to do the same in return (Webster's Private Correspondence, 1.505).
