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” —A man has been detected in steal ing books from the Mercantile Library, Philadelphia.
