The expedition hud now travrllpd 1.000 mile
from (lie Di.IIps of the Columbia Thp ilpsppnt
from tlie mountain was one of extreme difurtil
ly and dangpr, anr! accomplished under greit
privations anil sufferings. On tho Colli "the
forest," My a tlm narrativp
"Was imposing in the magnificence rf the
trees ; some of the pines, hearing large cones,
were 10 fpet in diameter ; cedars also abound-
ed. and we measured one eNJ feet in cirenhi-
ing him. 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.
"Near night-fall v.-P descended into thestepp
ravine of a handsome creek thirty feet wide, and
I was engaged in getting ihe horses up the op
posite lull, when I heard a shout from Carson,
who bad gone ahead a few hundred vards
"Life yet," said he, ns he came up, "life yet ; I
have found a hill side sprinkled with grass p-
nnugh for the night."
We drove alontr our
horse, and enenmped at the place about dark,
and there was just room enonoh In make a iilace
lor shelter on the edge of the stream. Three
horses were ot to-dBy."
On the 1st March, one of the men, named
Ihirtisiir, who had volunteered theday before
to return and bring up Cap. Fremont' favo
rite horse Provrnn, had not renin back to the
camp, and uneasiness was felt at bis absence,
fearing he mioht have been bewildered in the
woods ; he however made bib appearance in the
i evening :

I been lost in the mountain, and hunger and fa
tigue, joined to weeknesa of body, and fear of
' perishing in the mountains bad crazed him.

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. After hi? return,
Judge ( Hi r'on communicated to liiut the as
tounding intelligence, that lie was the uncon
scious cause of the last separation ; that it arose
from Heberts' j.-uloiisy of him ; and the circum
stances ot his uccoinp my mg Col. Starke, to
protect him Iri'in the Indians, had been seized
upon by Roberts as a ground of divorce, in a
petition to the Virginia Legislature.
The thought that nn mii H-ent woman was
sullering so unjustly on his account, made Ge
neral Jackson's sensitive mind moat uneasy and
unhappy. lie iinui.'iliaiely a night out Huberts
and expostulated with linn on the injustice and
cruelty of bis causeless suspicion ; but the in
terview ended ill mutual defiance. 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.
Altboiieli tree to form a new connection, Mrs.
Roberts declined the proffered offer. Hut An
drew Jackson was not t-i be outdone. lie ad
dretisid her in the language of Vv'utli to Naomi:
"Entreat me not to leave thee or to remove
from following after thee, lor w here thou goest
I will go, where thou lodges! I will lodge, thy
p- ople shall be my people, and thy God my (!od; j
where thou diesd w ill die, and there will I be j
buried." 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.
