OLD ZAcK.-The Louisville Journal
says that ga highly respectable citizen
OF Jefferson county called upon us two
o, three days ago TO give an account Of
an interesting excursion he made down
the Ohio and Mississippi rivers in the
summer of 1887. The old General, on
his way to the Florida war, which had
proved so terribly destructive to our
troops, took passage from this city on
board steamboat. The water being eX-
ceedingly low, the boat soon got aground
in the Ohio, and seemed likely to re-
main there long time. General Tay-
Tor, impatient Of delay when his coun-
try called him to the post of duty and
danger, united with our informant in the
purchase of flat-boat, upon which the
two, with their families started for New
Orleans, Gen Taylor stood at the helm
night and day, and, though unused to the
profession of helmsman, his natural
GOODNESS and skill enabled him to steer
clear of all the perils ofthe terrible Mis-.
sissippi. While listening TO tn" inter-
estlng story of old Rough and Ready's
voyage upon the flat boat, we could not
help thinking, that, although unaccus-
toned to the management Of the Ship OF
State, he will, when called by his coun
try to the helm, manage it with the same
consummate skill that has stood him in
such good stead IN every emergency of
is life"
