Proveau con'd not keep up, and I left Jacob to bring him on, being ob'iged to press forward with the party, as there was no grass in the forest. We grew very anxious as the day advanced and no grass appeared, for the lives of our animals depended on finding it to-night. They were in just such a condition that (jrass and repose lor the night enabled them to get on the next day. Every hour we had been expec ting to see open out before us the valley, which, from the mountain above, seemed almost at our leet. A new inid singular shrub, which had made its appearance since crossing the moun tain, was made very frequent to-day. It branch ed out near the ground, forming a clump eight lo ten feet high, w ilh pale green leaves of an oval form, and the body and branches bad a naked appearancp, as if stripped of the bark, which is very smooth and thin, of a chocolate color, contrasting well with the pale green of the leaves. Theday was nearly gone ; we bad made a bard day's inarch, and found no grass. i Towns became light beaded, wandered of! into the w,vds without knowing where lie was: go ing, and Jacob brought him buck.

This event in the history ofCeneral Jackson has often been alluded to, hut the circumstan- des attending itaretery little known. Miss Rachel Donclson, the daughter of Co lonel Donelson, of Virginia, had been celebra ted for her gayety, n liability and sweetness of disposition. Her father einigrnted to Tennes-.-ee, nnd, dying, left her an orphan. She form ed an unhappy matrimonial connection with n morose, jealous, and dissipated character by the name of l!'lerts, who soon abandoned her. The difficulty wa made up, and the wedded pair came together again; soon after which Andrew Jackson became a transient boarder in the H-mie louse where Roberts and his wife tvere residing. A second rupture soon occur red, and Huberts left his wife and went to Ken tucky. Learning that he intended returning and taking her there, and dreading hi inhu manity and bad treatment, sh determined to i-eek an asylum in Natchez, beyond hia reach. Natchez w as the ( Iregon .if America. In the Spring of 171)1, she came here with Col. Starke and hia family. At the earnest request of Col. Starke, Ceiieral Jackson piloted hia family through the Indian country.

At length news came that the Virginia Legislature hud actually granted the divorce in accordance with Robert's petition. Forthwith, Andrew Jackson hastened to Natchez, and offered his hand and hia heart to the innocent and amiable woman, who had been made bo unhappy by false and unfounded nccusatipns. lle come to Natchez to give the world the highest evidence he could give of her innocence.

A promise w hich he literally fulfil led in refusing the sarcophagus of the Empe ror Alexander Severus, that he might be buried by her. At length, ntter some months, Mrs. Ruber) s, being convinced )hat the chivalry which prompted the proposal had become associ ated with genuine love, accepted the offer, and they were married in Natchez or its vicinity, and returned to Tennessee. On arriving there, finding that the divorce had not gone through nil the forms requited by the laws of Virginia, at tho time of their marriage, tho ceremo ny wus again perfuimed there.
