a'irved in Ntshville on the morning of the affray,
and Icnowin; of General Jackson's threats, went
• and took ourlodgings in a different house from the
"e in whichhe stayed, on purpose to avoid him.
• "2. Thatthe General and some of his friends
cattle to the house where we had put up, corn-
tneneed the attack by levelling a pistol at me, when
had no weipon drawn, and advancing upon me at
quick pace, vithout giving me time to draw one.
"3. That, seeing this, my brother fired upon Ge-
neral Jacksot, when he had got within eight or ten
feet of me.
"4. That four other pistols were fired in quick
succession—ane by General Jackson at me, two by
me at the General, and one by Colonel Coffee at
14e. In the course of this firing General Jackson
was brought to the ground, but I received no hurt.
"5. The daggers were then drawn. Colonel
Coffee and Mr. Alexander Donaldson made at me,
"d gave me five slight wounds. Capt. Hammond
and Mr. Stokely Hays engaged my brother, who
being still weak, from the effect of a severe wound
lie had lately received in a duel, was not able to re-
ist two men. They got him down, and while Capt.
/turmoil(' beat him on the head to make him lay
still, Mr. Hays attempted to stab him, and wounded
}lnn in both arms as he lay on his back, parrying his
thrusts with his naked hands. From this situation
generous hearted citizen of Nashville, l\ Summer,
relieved him. Before he came to the ground, my
brother clapped a pistol to the breast of Mr. Hays,
to blow him thaough, but it missed fire.
"6. My own and my brother's pistols carried two
balls each ; for it was our intention, if driven to
arms, to have no child's play. The pistols fired at
Ole were so near, that the blaze of the muzzle of one
of them burnt the sleeve of my coat, and the other
lowed at my head, at a little more than an arm's
length.

"7. Capt. Carrell was to have taken part in the
44rity,but was absent by permission of Gen. Jack-
aon, as he has since proved by the General's certifi-
eate—s certificate which reflects less honour, I
know not whether upon the General or Captain.
"8. That this attack was made upon me is the
house where the Judge of the district, Mr. Searcy,
had his lodgings! So little are the laws and its
Ministers respected! Nor has the civil authority
yet taken cognizance of this horrible outrage.
" THOMAS HART BENTON,
" Lieut.-Col. 39th Infantry."
