THE HIDDEN TREASURE:
AN ADVENTURE IN ARKANSAS
In I lie summer of JB4B, in the month of June,
I tumid myself a solitary traveler at the primi
tive little town of Van Buren, in the juvenile
State• Arkausas---a country which, in exten
sive ,%4- iuips, lofty and rugged mountains, and
bad toads, can challenge the United Stases, or
an) other beettun of equal dinledsions in the
world I traveled iu style, with a - covvred bug•
gy, the running gear of which was as tough (a
soLue, of the yarns told by the old settlers on thh
Arkansas, and a pair of dashing creams, who,
even over tho-e roads, could carry we fifty wiles
a Jay, oti upon a natural piece of gravel, which
oceutieut occasionally, like celestial visits—celes
tial t, uew—they could go the mile within the
three minutes—fair work for a double team, and
tint to he sneezed st, even over the Queen City
Course.
The flier. in that country bite like scorpions, to
suy nothing of the ticks,who, in their carniver
ttue wake no distinction between man and
beast, but, it permitted, will swell themselves
out to the site of a rifle bullet before urfleshing
thotr poisonous heads , . There was no guarding
against these insinuating little monsters; but for
the flies, I was provided with two dulling suits
of I etl nets, which set the creams to the
,hest
advantage, and created a sensation throughout
the couutr)
••laininty," shouted a gawky, red.hasided girl,
who stood at the door of a log cabin, towards
which I was whirling in rapid style, “utainuty.

I'm toviteht d if there iir'u't a feller cumin' along
with a pair of fiery red critters'."
.lutl out rushed the interesting !rattly, who,
takiug the scarlet netting us part of the anatomy
uf t tie "critters," no doubt tell to tins day ut the
wonderful apparation of the man with the red
steeds.
But Arkansas, although a hard road to travel,
emJialus soft hearts and friendly matures; and in

which, combined, they doubtless took for
sowe novel animal, (or the first ume invading
the deep solitude of the eternal woods. I had
made my way from Little Bock to Van Buren,
a distance of over three hundred miles, with the
intention of proceeding un over the Boston
Mountains into Missouri, when a letter which I
received made it necessary (hit I should retrace
my steps.
With my knowledge of sev \ cral delectable
swamps, and other interesting "passages of tray•
el," which I had, almost by a miracle, attriggled
through, the prospect was by no means pleasant,
A break-down in the woods, twenty miles,
perhaps from any human habitation, is a contin•
,envy out to be contemplated without a feeling
of dread; and hnd the Arkansas river been in a
boating condition, I should have placed myself
and equipage upon a steamer, but there was not
sufficient waterin it at some places to float a
plank Like a capsized bark, it exhibited itself
with its bottom up, so I had no alternative but
to prepare for my retrograde movement, comfort.
,ing myself in the reflection that I, at least, was
acquainted with the perils of the path I was again
doomed to thread, whereas, had I (motioned my
j journey forward, I should be flying to "ilk which
I knew not of " •
The worst and must disagreeable part of the
affair was the solitude in which I traveled. To
one naturally of a companionable disposition,.it
was 3 sore trial to be left to commune with not
thing more tangible than one's own reflections;
to watch the-sun (juin its first peep from behind
the cast eastern hills, through its fiery mididay
course, until it tinged with a crimson halo tbe
loafty mountains of the far West; to feel one's
scut expand with Abe illimitable grandeur of Na
ture, here witnessed in all her purity, and yet be
compelled to smother the glowing sensations
within one's own bosom, no \sympathising ear
being near wherein to pour thelkurning essence
extracted from tbe soul by this contemplation of
so glorious a vision. This prospectwas, I say,
the most disagreeable meet:tit had; and those
who may have been placed in circumstances of
a similar nature, will understand with what,
pleasure I received a proposal from the landlord
of the tavern in Van Buren to introduce me to a
gentleman who was anxious to get on to Little
Rock, and who had arrived from away back in
the Indian nation, in the expectation of finding
a boat of light draught to convey him thither.
Upon a bright and breezy afternoon upon the
first of July, we started. My companion was
the agent of the famous General Roes, chief of
the tribe of Indiana who, in semktivilizeti state,
occupy the vast portion of country beyond Fort
Smith Not being a Yankee, my lorgan of inqui
sitiveness pas not sufficiently developed to induce
rue to inquire his business, which I, however,
aoou learnt would take him to Memphis,
where
Le inkoded to make extensive purchases for the

abound in that country. At least my' new ..c
qusintanoe sud myself so pronounced it, when
resOng our horses beneath some umbrageous
shade '
wii.refreshed the inner man with a dub
of the first to u moderate proportion of the law
tee ;
The second day's journey brought Is nit, early
in the afternoon, at a fans house, in which we
took shelter from a fierce storm, and where, after
the weather had cleared, we were forced to re
main 'in consequence of a oieek, • few miles die
taut, which, after a heavy rain, ran wild - as a
young Niagara We were only slaty miles front
an Bnren,aatid it nu neeersary. the neat day,
to make up for the loss of an great a portion of
that of the preceding; so after an early breakfast
we again started, and meeting with no accident,
by night arrived at a rich bottom on the Arkan
sas river, at the foot of a steep, rough mouifide
track, known as the Piney Hulls. Here we res
ted, sifter traveling sixty miles, at a farm house,
the proprietor of which could boast of a domain
more extensive than °netball of the German
principalities, and rich beyond the imagination
of those eons of toil who coax the yellow grain
front well-worked northern lands His wane
was Tom May, and people for miles around told
stories of his great wealth and miserly habits;
true it was, that a more unappetising supper than
that which we sat down to discuss, was never set
before a couple of way-worn travelers, and—an
other argument against teetotalism—we turned
with gratitude to the spiritual consolation afford
ed by the black bottle which my , acquaintance
bad so providentally brought with him from thti
Indian Nation The old miser bad a wife and a
large family, each member of whom wore a look
lame
which it was painful to eontem
plede There Was in fact an unnatural gloom
pervading the whole atmosphere; they spoke and
replied to each ether in wonosylables, as it
few extra words would be au unnecessary waste
The mother appeared to be thoroughly identified
with old Tom in feeling, and the boys and !iris
were, out aid out, chips of the old block; a .mile
divided amongst the crowd, could not have gone
round; it would have been drowned in the vine
gar of any one countenance We were glad to
retire, and having expressed a wish to that effect.,
were shown to a capacious loft in the second
story, the heavy rafters of which were bare,
where two inatersaaes upon a couple of cots were
placed for our accommodation. Fatigue, the
best provocation to sleep, soon sealed my eyes,
and 1 slumbered until about four o'clock in the
morning, when I was awakened by my °Daiwa.
ibn, Who ston,t by the 'side of my cot, ant whom
singular expression of countenance I shall never

of their own fortunes, ho sou kind, affahre, and

oriog. There was something in his magnani
mity, in his forgiving temper, in his kindly char
ity, in his capacity to sppreeiate excellence of
any kind, in any form, which despite his appa
rent unconcern of manner and sluggishness of
body, elicited and compelled effecliii. Tbere
was a true fire of the heart which glowed unceas
ingly and cast even the splendor of his intelleet
into the shade No man ever more cordially de
spised a cold, calculating, spider like lawyer,
weaving' day by day his miserable toils, giving
up nothing, retaining his grasp on every violist
of chance and folly, and employing his powers
only for - the production of misery and the pzea
lice of oppresssion No man ever spoke into
being with sn little effort, ardent and_permanent
friendship He sat on the Supreme Beach with
twenty its Went Judges, gone of whom owed
their posititiV - to his infiuetice, and almost all of
whom, on their accession, sere e m p enit i ee
strangers to hint, and yet it may be doubled
whether the purest and happiest household ewer
lived in more absolute harmony than be enjoyed
in his personal tiatereonme with his asetwiales.
In regard to any body of, men long associated, to.
/tether, this fact tiiilitlo worth remain; but
in that of so many independent oten,•ef strong
Intellects and wills, employed together in the
daily esantiestiou, of exciting question s , w he n
conscienee and duty require each man to stead
by his individual judgement, the case is some
what remarkable His iatelleet ual acquirements
were great, and be had a right to be proud of
them, but that would be a poor monument to his
fame, which sheuld omit to mention those high
er and finer qualities of the bout, which placed
him so far above the level of ordinary men.
It is almost noneceseare, to speak of bias as a
man of integrity. I verily believe that the mere
force of habit in seek sag the truth and finding
mums in support it, would have driven him tor
the right, against every corrupt iiiisenee that
could have been brought to bear spot him. Bat
the troth is, no idea opposite to that of his at.
most parity u s judge, Wail ever associated with
kis name. There was something in hie abstract .
ter, conversation, manner and appearance, which
would have crushed snob a thought in the bud.
A man who bad approached him for the purpose
of corrupting him, would have been as much dis
posed to fall down before bimin an set of hom
age, as to have attempted to carry out his par
po.e. After a lifetime devoid' to diametric, of
his country, it is surely no mean praised a pub
lic man, that declarations like these 'Oa be at ,
tared, with a certainty that theyerill be credited,
not less by the suitors against whom he decided,
than. by the profession who practised before hint,
mid the community whose laws he esforoad.

in a whisper to the prisoner, -who. shaking his
