This admission will explain a uoed many points that milit ethciwise bediliieuit te the teadet. IMev iny in a higher t.cale thebe men had little in"eoinmen with the ela-b te which I then belonged, and en our put at that time we iearded ilieni with cunsideiable lospect. They had wi ilth, station, a name and tirmcraml inlliienee anil weic the uilin-' sp'uits in their sphcie. They had just siu vcyed and 11 lined .it the time the two counties of Chittenden and Seeie, en the south side of the mer. X.iw te complete the paity theie was a Dr. Henuett.

Xa-,hilL-. ?Jemphis, Xew Or leans and ether p'.i.s men whom 1 had known te be obliged te 11 j between daik ness and dawn for their eihnc and te whom daylight meant death. These ren egades constituted no ineciisideiable pait of the bolder population at the time, and their sole occupation appaiently was ir.iinliliii'r and diiukiiiL'. HiiliLinir and hoi se lacing, in all el which sciences they could fa"uli"elaiin te Link as piefcssnis. Hut theie weie ethei men en the bolder at the time who went in for higher game. Duihu the latter pail of theear.-. 18J:5 ;!1 a new class of men began te make their appeaiance in this p.ut of the ceuntiy, and weie mainly te be found making the Choctaw nation" and the Aik.ius.is seitle ments their lieadipl.utci.s.

He subsequently lied into Te as and was theie nnudeied. Jehn Hewie eeiitiniied his headquai ters in Helena, lie had some appointment under the Van Huicn administiatien and many strangeis who looked like gentleman weie continually going and coining te his place. The gencial impiessien was that they weie gevcinmcnt etiicials. These in the seciet knew 1 ctter.

The ariival of the Hewies caused something of a sensation. Hcn nctt's teputatien was well known and James Hewie had lecetuly wenhisspurs' by killing n man at Xatchcz with a wc tpen et his own invention and which thegiate ful community promptly lecegnied as an invention of wendeiiul value. Te testify their -.ppiec'.atien el the gifted genius te whose intellect it was due they called this imentien the Hewie knile. In all the sieiieath.it I ever he.ud Hewie tell be never boasted of his personal prowess or biagged of his victims, let at this time he was known te have killed eight or ten men. The time of which I new wiite was in the summer of 1S3 1, and for a time I lest sight of the redoubtable Bewie. In the latter part of the jcar which was uneventful sive for the coming land going of mysteiieus strangers, whispcts began te be hcaid el the con templated expedition against Mexico. A paity of men jsamc from Tennessee and le maincd during the winter in Litt'e lieek, doing nothing appaiently out spending money freely and causing eiisic times in tbft numerous iraniblini: saloon; with which the town abounded. In the spring of 18t, however, the Tennessee colony was augmented by the ariival of another party, many of them men of considerable noteiictv. 'Twoefthcm weic cclebiitics whom 1 saw for the litst time. They weie Sam Housten and Colonel Davy Cieckctt. Crockett was theie in daily conclave with thelcadeisef the wild and ratlicr un governable mob tliat has assembled and made no seciet of the fact that he held a fedeial appointment signed by President Jacksen. At this time 1 began 10 knew a little meie of the project en feet, and fiemwhatl then Icnincd I confidently lwlieve that the whole scheme of teni- planncd I fust saw Sam Housten. I lest sight of him until the invasion of the Mexican ter ritory was an accomplished fact. Housten was a man who caied little for the amenities of society, aud while he was iu Little Heck an incident eccuned that gave me an insight into at least one of the eharacteiistics of the man, his utter con tempt for the conventionalities of life. With a paity of ether young men, all en thusiastic admucrs of the gi eat leader, wc had arranged te call en him at the hotel. It was one of the hottest days of a sum. mer the heat of which was a subject of constant conversation. Housten was stop step ping at the hotel The paity haing ar rived and the announcement made that we were waiting te pa3' our respects te Geneial Housten wc were told te wait for a moment. Almest inTmediatcly aftes wards the landlord himself appealed, and with a rather ctuieus smile en his face said : "Walk up, gentlemen ; you will find Gen. Housten waiting te leceivc ou en the pia.7a in state.' Like all Southern buildings of any pretensions at the time a bread piazza tan entii'cly around the house at the second steiy. We ascended the st aii. sand enteicd the piazza. Housten was in state, sure enough. He sat in a corner of the piazza in the shade, lolling back en one chair, while his feet weie en auetliet, and he was staik naked, his only pi otectiett being a newspaper, which he had been appaiently leading but :. mo ment before. The papei.. then weie net the size of the Tiniest te-day. He was halt diunk and in a savage mood and this is the way in which Geneial Sam Housten 10 eeived the gentleman who kindly elfeied te introduce our delegation, Cel. Davy Cieckctt. The inteiview was a short and unsatisfactory one. All this excitement in Little Heck con sequent upon the ariival of hundred, of dating advei.ttneis could net l.e long without pi educing its natuial lCsiut. es pecially as the elijei t was no longer a secret. '' AVe aic all going te Teas," was the constant 013-, and it became evident te the leadeis that their fellow eis could net be much longer lesti ained.
