The following story will not be worth
the less for being true. A Kcntuckian
horse drovcr being in South Carolina with
a drove, happened to take it to the neigh
borhood Of Gen. Il, whose charac-
ter for jockcying and manUuvering in trade
is much more celebrated than his feats in
arms, The Kcntuckian having perfect
acquaintance with his character, went to
see him to sell him horses-or to swap
or to run a race, as the dcstnies might de-
cree.
He was Of our careless, unconcerned,
knockdown and drag-out looking sort Of
fellows: who would assume Just as much
simplicity of countcnancc and address, as
circumstances might require. lie had the
appearance of about % or 23 years Of age
and as usual, was dressed i'll the blue
mixed leans, to hide dirt, and wore drab
colored hat for the same reason.
'Gincral,' said he, Il am just from old
kaintuck, with some powerful nice horses,
may be you want some. Daddy told me
if came on your parts to call on you,
and ne reckoned may be you would buy a
pair of matches, or bel Up me out in tradin'
for he said you had a power of money,
aud understood tradin' to scribe. Here's
letter from him. handing one. and
besides, I've as nice PAIR of matches, as
YOU could shake stick at; and as tight a
nag for quarter, Daddy says, as any in
these parts; he says | mast run no races,
cause mought loose, and we want all the
money we can serape to pay for land
But | reckon he'd suit you to fraction
Gaze your sportin' character and mought
win a powerful chance of money by him.
While he was thus introducing himself
and telling his business, the General opened
the letter which read as follows:
Dear Gineral-I take this opportunity
to write to you by my Job, who is taken
