LARGEST CITY~CIBCI7LATION.
THURSDAY MORNING July 12, 1868
Frontiersman of the Olden Time.
Col. Marcy recites the following con
versation with an old frontiersman, while
marching iu 1848 with a battalion from
Little Rock to Fort Towson:
“Are you gwine fur to jiue ole Zack
down in Mexico?”
“No, sir, the Mexican war is ended,
and we are now on the way for the
Choctaw nation.”
“Whar did you come from stranger ?”
“We came last from Pascagoula.”
“Mought you be the boss hossifer of
that thar army?” pointing to the men.
“I am the commanding officer of that
detachment, sir.”
“Wall, Mr. Hossifer, be them sure
’ntiff sogers, or is they make b’lieve
chaps, like I seen down to Orleans? ’
“They have passed through the Mexi
can war, and I trust they have proved
themselves not only worthy the appella!
tion of real, genuine soldiers, but of
veterans, sir.”
“Now I gest want to know one thing
more boss ; be them chaps reg-lars, or
be they melish ?”
“I assure you they belong to the regu
lar army of the United States.”
Then, pointing to my uniform, he
added. “Appuriently, then, fightin’s
your trade ?”
“I adopted the profession of arms at
an early age,” I replied.
“War you at the Orleans fight, whar
our boys gin sich particular fits to ole
Pack ?”
I answered that, though a pretty old
soldier, my commission did not date
quite so far back as 1814.
“Wal, ole boss, you moughtn’t a been
thar, but you aint no chicken now,
sure.”
He continued : “One time me and
him, Ike Thompson, we went on a
sogerin’ spree.”
“Ah ! indeed; in what place did you
serve, pray ?”
“In several places; but the last pop
we fout at the battle of Horse Shoe,
whar me and ole Hickory cleaned out
the Ingines.”
“That was a most decisive and san
guinary bat‘le,” I observed.
“I calkerlate, Mr. Hossifer, that war
the most decisivest and the most sau
guinariest fight you ever seen in all
yer born days. We boys, we up and
pitched in thar, and we gin the yaller
bellies the most perticuler hail Colum
by. We chawed um all up; we laid
um out colder nur a wedge ; we saved
every mother’s son of um—we did that
thar little thing, boss.”
I replied that I had no doubt very
many of the Indians were killed, but
that I had always been under the im
pression that some of them made their
escape; and, in fact, I was very confi
dent that several Creek Indians were
then living upon the Canadian riverwho
participated in the battle of the Horse-
Shoe. He said he “rayther reckon’d
not but, at all events, he was quite
certain “es any of the dogond varmints
did git away, they war d—d badly
wounded, sartin sure.”
He then produced a bottle of whiskey
and gave me a pressing invitation “to
liquor,” remarking that he “war not too
proud to take a horn with a fellur soger,
even if he war a reg’lar.”
After having taken the drink, he ap
proached me, aud in a serious tone said,
“Thar’s narry paper tuck in this yere
settlement, but I hem tell that Giniral
Jackson ar dead; maybe you mought
heered some talk bout it as you corn’d
’long the road, stranger 1”
