the Governor, Gen. Jackson accepted his offer. He was placed on the left bank of the river, in a comparatively defenceless position, which it was anticipated would be forced by the enemy. When the British soldiers broke over the works, Lafitte, after ordering a general discharge of small-arms, gave the command, "Clear the decks!" whereupon his piratical crew laid about them so lustily that, although fifteen of the enemy had surrounded one man, he killed eight of them, and cut his way out. The discomfited British were driven back over the breastworks, followed by the yells of the pirates and the shouts of the Americans, and leaving near half the attacking party dead behind them. One thousand stand of arms were found on the field of battle, as was Gen. Keane's sword, which Gen. Jackson, at his request, restored. The British lost in this terrible engagement 2,600 men. On January 8, 1817, two shocks of an earthquake were felt at Charleston, S. C., and also at Savannah, Ga.
