the State Of Choctaw in 6ne style. while
crossing the bottom we had an accident
which came near resulting in eerionr di-

so with Judge Andrews, Of Grayson county.
Like Il politician abou, TO fall, he selected
A soft place, and stuck into the middle Of
the mud hole, and emerged deflcd and de-
faced with the unclcan filth Of the puddle.
We soon righted and remounted the Belle,
and arrived safely at tho dinner stand with

in tho State OF Choc,aw, We passed n mag
nifcent faruod owned by Mr.. Jones, the
Choc,aw millionaire. lie cultivates at this
place two thousand acres, and works over
a hundred hands. After leaving his farm
VIC entered tn: State Of Arkansas, saw Sne
crops. we're we'll treated, and reached
Brovps,own about s o'clock Sunday NOR
ninp. Here several ladies got in, and
among them beautiful and elegant
voung lady, who cnlivcncd the travel to
Co,umbu, in q manner never to bo forgot
ten. With all the grace and ladyship of q
true Southern woman, she entered into a
lively conversation, and gave us much val
liable information about tho military
strength of the country. She was not only
intelligent, hut good politician. She Ind
n poets eye, dark and lustrous, which kin
Glcd with fire and enthusiasm, as We read
the late accounts Of our achievements in
Missouri and Virginia. How dark tho day
appeared after she left us. God bless her
for the kind words she gave me ut parting,
and her graceful sclicitude for our comfort
and welfare; she will never be forgotten.
We reached Washington early Sunday
evening, and hore, in a few minutes after
our arrival, VIC saw the news, by the Little
Rock stage, md heard Of Beauregard's VIC
tory near Manassas Jun ,tion, and the route
Of the Dutch scouudrels ut Cartilage, Mo.
am sorry that Ben McCulloch was not
present.
The Little Rock State Gazette says, in
regard to the battles in Missouri:
"By n letter from Camp Walker, which
VIC have been permitted to read, we learn
that the Arkansas troops did not arrive in
time To participate in the battle at Carthage
Mo. COL Churchill's company Of mounted
men arriving after the battle, pursued tho
retrcating IIessian's, but were unable to
ovcrtakc them Capt. Woodruff 8 Artillery
made forced marches, but we're chagrined
at not reaching tho field in time. There
will be enough of opportunities for oil to
take o hand before the war ends"
This has been fully confirmed by gen
eman from Camp Walker who was presen,
ut the engagement and witnessed tho route
of the inhdel transcendcntalists l am
proud that the Germans of our State nre
true to the South and discountenancc the
acts of the base IIessians in Missouri. All
along tho road and at this place hear oi
nothing but determination of the larger
beer swillers. The gentleman from Camp
Walker says that they will not fight in close
quarters-thnt they used cannon, and at q
long distance, too,-and ran rs fast as short
legs would let them. The utmost confidence
il expressed in Gen. McCulloch abilities
and courage. The best feeling prevails to.
vads Texas md Texans, and everywhere
on the road thousands of questions were
asked about the Texas Rangers.
Dispatches received at this place say that
the Missouri Legislature, after the manner
of Tennessee will meet to-day and pass the
ordinance of secession. The Legislature
will meet at Neosho, the scene Of one of the
late Victories. kentucky, it thought will
soon como out.
