A REMARKABLE MAN.

A correspondent of the Louisville, Demo !
crat vouches for the truth of the following
statement: 8 3. s; 80 =
"Having during the last ten years heard
the history of Mr.. David Wilson (who former: Z
ly resided at Carrollton, Kentucky1 repeated
frequently, and which seemed to me fabulous,
or which taxed my credulity much, and hap.
pening few, days ago to meet With Mr.. AL
exander Wilson, of North Madison, with whom !
I've been acquainted for several years, I spoke
to his father, and he said what I had heard
was correct. He told me that he: (Alexander1.
was the 18th child of David, and David was
the father of At lawful children. He eliyed to
the age of l07 years, and during his lifetime,
had Eve wives. By his first wife he had 1S
children. A few years before he died he ex-
pressed desire to remove to Indiana, but was
opposed by his fifth and lasttwife. He howe
ever took trip to find a new. location to suit
him, and when he returned home he. found
that his wife had packed up some Of the goods
and chattels and returned to her frinds in
Kentucky. He went after her and endeavor.
ed to persuade her to return to- his house, but
she would not 60. In short time, however,
she relented, and then wished to return to his
house; but he would have nothing to do with
her-and so they remained separated till his
death. Very few Of bis children died in their
infancy or youth and there are now s85. Of
them living who are all men and women fun
grown. David Wilson was man Of .purs
good health and robust physical constitution.s :
At the age of los years he could NOV an acre
day for week at a time, without evincing
much fatigue. He appeared to have not NIB:
The whole region Of his breast was shielded BY
aplate of solid bone, and he could receive the.
most severe and powerful blows upon it without
being hurt. He frequently, for the gratifca-
tion of others, suffered them to strike him most
violently in the breast, without being made to
feel in the least uncomfortable During our
border wars he was taken prisoner BY the En-
dians, and they attempted to- stab him In the
breast, but found the solid bone impenetrable.
His minute history would be interesting if col.
lected and published. He was one of the most
remarkable men that ever lived in America.
His progeny was very numerous, and he at
tanned green old age. At the age of 107
years, when he died, none, Of his faculties of
mind or body were materially impaired" 81

gers reached the battle ground first. Mrs.
Pursley, who knew Toms spirit, thought he
had thrown himself down in despair for the
loss of his gun, and rendered him the one she
carried, but Tom wasfpast shooting. His
friends lifted him up, threw him across horse
before one of the party, and turned tosretreat
just as the Indians came up. They made good
their escape, and the Indians retired ~
We repeat this adventure just as it was re-
lated to us, and have not the least doubt it ia !
literally correct, or as nearly so as Mr.. Higs
gins opportunity for observation would admit
for, as he properly observes, he was sin a
desperate bad jfn,' just about that time, andit
was :popertul bad chance for man to take,
notice of what was going on around him. ..,;5.-
After being carried into the fort, he remain
ed insensible for some days, and his life was
preserved with difficulty by his friends, who
extracted all the bullets but two, which re-
mained in the thigh one of which gave him
great deal Of pain for several years, although
the flesh was healed At length he heard that :
a physician had settled within a days ride Of
him, whom he went to see The physieisaS
was willing to extract che ball, but asked the
sum of fifty dollars for the operation. ThisT
Tom refused to give, as itwas. more than
half years pension. AS he. rode ..homey he,
turned the matter in his mind, and determined
upon cheaper plan. Sss 5sss
When he reached home, he requested his
| wife to hand him razor. The exercise of.
riding had SO chafed the part, that the ball
which usually was not discoyerable to the touch
could be felt With the assistance of his help
mate, he very deliberately laid open his thigh,
until the edge ofthe razor touched the. bullet
and inserting his finger into the cash, sairted
it OUT as he termed it, without costinga
cent The other remains in his limb yet, but
gives him no trouble, except ghen he uses;
violent exercise. Tom, notwithstanding his.
injuries, is still one Of the most successful
ters in the. country. IS x. l5Ss sS. Z.

present to Congress at the next session, and
ask admission into the Union as State. This
is brief history of parties and politics in
Kansas. have not leisure to 50 into details
now, but it would interest you tc know and un-
derstand the tactics, manouvres, and strategy
of the respective parties in Kansas.
Kansas and Missouri have the same latitude,
climate and soil, and should have the same in
stitutions. The peace and' prosperity of both
depend on it. Kansas must have slave insti-
tutions, or Missouri must have freeinstitutions
hence the interest the border "Rufians" take
in Kansas affairs. A large number of the
citizens of Kansas have gone there, or rather
have been sent there, for the purpose of aboli-
tionizing it, and ultimately Missouri. This
has not heretofore been the case with the Ter
ritories of the United States. Iowa has Abo-
litionists within her borders so has Illinois ;
unprincipled Abolitionists and negro thieves
yet they are few in number. The great mass
of the people in those States are honest and
law abiding men. Not so with the class OF
settlers above described in Kansas. Hundreds
of them nave come, or rather were sent from
the North and East, for no purpose but to vote
at the elections, and return home. This was
understood by the border Missourians, and they
resolved to counteract it, andit was done.
The border "Rufians," I assert and believe,
have shown more amiable, christian, and for
bearing spirit, than any other body of men
would have shown under similar circumstances.
Battallions of men came on from the North,
with the open and avowed purpose of exclu'
ingslaveholders from Kansas. Not only that,
but pamphlets were written, newspapers ar,
gued, and preachers preached that to aboll,
tionize Kansas was to drive slavery from Mis-,
souri,. In this they were right. TO do the
one is to do the other Under these circum,
stances, what does it become us to do What
we have done, has been done in self-defence.
What we shall hereafter do, time alone will
show. We are preparing for the worst.
If the settlement of Kansas had been left
to the laws which govern emigration, it would
have been slave Territory as certain as Mis-:
souri, is slave State. But inasmuch as those
laws have been violated and perverted by the
force of money, and a powerful organization in
the North and East, it becomes the South (" to
be up and doing" and to send in population
to counteract the North. This can be done
with little exertion. Thus far few coun.
ties in Western Missouri have successfully en-,
countered and defeated this powerful organiza'
ton. Let Georgia set the example What
is to be done should be done quickly. This
course on the part of the South will save Kan.
sas to the South save bloodshed, civil war
and perhaps dissolution of the Union itself:

WHO GEN. WALKER rs.

William Walker, the flibuster of Nicara.
qua, was born in Nashville, Tenn, and is now
about thirty-three years old. His father is
James Walker, Esq, citizen Of Nashville,
of Scottish birth, and very much respected
His mother was Miss Norvell, an estimably,
from Kentucky. Walker, after quitting school
in his native State, which he did with much
credit and honor, commenced the study of
medicine in the University of Pennsylania,
where he graduated. He then went to Eu.
rope, entered the medical schools of Paris as
student, received a diploma there, and after
some time spent in travel, returned to thiscou
try, went to Nashville, and commenced the
study and the practice of the law. Walker
is thus both lawyer and physician. From
Nashville he went to New Orleans, and was
for some time editor of The Crescent. In
June, 1850, he went to San Francisco, and
became one of the editors of The Herald. -
While in this positiosan article appeared in
The Herald animadverting upon the Judiciary
to which exception was taken by Judge Par
SONS, of the District Court, who forthwith
summoned him before his Court, and infict-
ed on the editor 9 fine of $500. This Wal
ker refused to pay and was accordingly impri-
soned, but was subsequently discharged on .
wit of habeas corpus, issued from the superi.
or Court, which action was sustained by the,
Legislature at the next session. The next en-.
terprise in which Walker was engaged was the
famous, expedition to Sonora, with the disas.
trous result of which our readers are as fami-
liar as they are with his more recent history.

III come again when the bright birds come,
When the trees are green, the flowers in bloom;
And the balmy breath of gentle Spring
Sheds life around on every thing;
When, from her icy chains set free,
Fair Nature cometh smilingly;
And hills which now are clad in snow,
Are blooming fresh in Springs full glow;
When the heart, with sweet emotions rife,
Abounds with joy, and hope, and life,
And friends that have been dear before,
We asarer deem, and love them more
Oh, then I'll come but will find
That thou, fair friend, in heart and mind
In looks-in words-in acts-in name
In all that's good-art still the sames
viii I then meet thy smiling face,
Thy fervent kiss, and warm embrace,
Thy look of love, from eyes so blue,
That speak devotion, warm and true!
VIII then hear thy own sweet voice
In gentle tones of love rejoice
And own that tender heart of thine
Still linked in friendships bond with mine!
