A Further Move to Prevent the Lnt-
tcr'a Proposed Division of the
County ,
A meeting of the B.ir association
wns hold yoatordny morning nt the
court houses to take further action concerning -
corning tliu proponed holding of terms
of court lit Avoc.i , thus dividing the
county into an eastern and western
judicial district. The committee ap
pointed at the last meeting reported
thu facts which they had gathered ,
showing why no such court should bo
cotablished at Avoca. Thcso facts
hnvo hcen already presented in TUB
I3tK , they beini ? mainly in regard to
relative taxation nnd to the amount
of court business done by
the eastern and wustern portions of
tlio county. The showing is that not
one-tenth of all the caies arise in the
eastern portion , and thitt most of these
are unimportant. In factthero is not
enough business which would natur
ally fall to the court ol Avocn , to
warrant the extra expense und the
trouble. In regard to taxation it is
shown that the eastern portion of the
county recoivrs far more than it pays ,
and it is anndvantago to bu linked to
ho western portion ,
The judiciary committee of thu log *
slature , to whom is referred n memo
rial requesting the establishment of
hone terms , nnd the division of the
county into judicial districts , is to
ncot , this afternoon in Don Mollies to
consider the matter nnd hear ull sides
of the question.
In order that the facts might be
shown as viewed by those in the west
ern part of the county , and as gathered -
ed from the records might be proper-
y presented to the judiciary commit-
cu , a number of delegates were chosen
his morning to go to Dex Moines to
attend the meeting this afternoon.
L'lioso thus chosen were Judge James ,
N. M. 1'usuy , John JJ.ildwm , 0. U.
Scott Marshall Key , P. B. Hart ,
focob Sims , D. JJ. D.iiloy , George
/arson nnd Joseph Lynmn.
The committee have n statement of
ho judges that there in no time to bo
given , to such terms of court us are
imposed , as theie is more business
tow than can bo properly uttentod to.
It ia probable that such an array of
acts nnd figures when clearly pre
ontvd will cause the memorial to die
i natural death , nnd that no more tic-
.ion will be needed.

THE BATTLE OF NEW ORLEANS.
A Letter Written From the Field Five
Days After the Qroat Fight.
A gentleman near Guthno , Ky. ,
soiids Thu Courier Journal the follow
ing letter , the original of which is in
iis possession. It is "addressed to
"Mnj. Abrom Maury , near Franklin
Town. Tonn. , and reads as follows :
"CAMP FouuMiLEsBELowOiiLKA&i ,
Jan. 13 , 1815. DEAU SIK : Since the
iflair of the 8th inst. our army and
thnt of the enemy have occupied their
former positions. Their loss on that
day was terrible , greatly exceeding
what we had at first supposed it to bo
From the most correct estimates which
wo "havo since boon able to form , it
exceeds 2,500. , I know thp world , will
bo incredulous who'n they'hear the
story that , with a force inferior in
number , in discipline and in ( all the
preparations for war , wo should have
remained for twenty days on open
plain , within cannon shot of such an
enemy , and in ono engagement have
repulsed them with so terrible a lessen
on their part and so small a ono oh
ours. I agree it is a case without any
parallel in history , but bo assured it
is nevertheless true. It has thrown
the enemy into perplexity from which
I believe they would bo glad to extri-
cnto themselves , butknow not how.
Whether they are nt present awaiting
the arrival-of re-onforcomonts
, or pre-
paiing to return to their shipping and
abandon an expedition so unfortunate
in its beginning , I know not. This ,
however , is certain : A prut of the
Hoot , among which are ono bomb and
ono rocket-vessel , wasthroo days ago ,
just below our Fort of St. Phillips ,
seventy-five miles below this , mani
fested a disposition to pass. All day
yesterday we hoard u tremendous tir
ing trom that quarter , and in u few
hours expect to receive certain and
important intelligence from there , in
telligence upon which the futo of the
expedition must greatly depend. The
enemy before us however , are busily
engaged in strengthening their posi
tion , and still exhibits a very formid
able forco. Wo have made thorn however -
over , abandon several of'their bat
teries and spike many of the cannon.
Does not this point to a retreat ? If
the enemy shall return to tl\oir ship
ping without making any further at
tempt I am bold to say this army wil
have accomplished more than any
other army over did in the same time
under the same circumstances. It is
true that their
commandor-in-ohief ,
Sir Ed. Packingham , was killed in the
action of the 8th , and Maj.-Gons.

Gen. Lambent , a junior otlicor , is the
person with whom Gen. Jackson haste

'who is on shore and a inilo or two
back , is much moro complaisant than
ho was when in the Chesapeake ;
ho seems disposed to agree to fair
terms as to the exchange of prisoners ,
nnd in truth neither the land nor the
naval forces have as yet boon guilty
of any excesses hero. All the prison

pressed their astonishment and ad
miration at the resistance wo have

One of the striking principles enun

Dho remaining commandments , so far
