cpptAins very remarkable and interest
ing letter, purporting to have been writ
ten by this desperate man, who has been
q terror TO the part of the country in
Which he lives, ever since the close of the
war; II would appear that he has been
goaded into his present position by the
wrongs md persecution of his enemies.
He declares his anxiety and wish for
peace, bnt prefers death to being taken
alive and dealt with according to law. He
has been so hunted down by his enemies
that he has failed every time he has set
tied down to quiet life to induce them
to lot him alone. He asks simply to be
let alone. As he is o man who, although
driven to desperation, is not utterly de-
prayed or without some redeeming quail
ties, it would, perhaps. be better that
executive olemency be extended to him,
and he be permitted to retnrn to his wife
and children and take care of them, in
stead OF hiding and being hunted to
death. He alleges, with much earnest
ness, that many OF the charges of cruelty
and murder brought against him are un-
true, and that he is disposed to live
peaoeably with all men, if permitted to
do 30. The story he tells OF the scenes
through which he has passed, reads like
the adventures Of Rob Roy Macgregor.
He SCENE determined to sell his life as
dearly as possible, if the attempts to ar
rest and try him are persisted in. In the
meantime, he warns all men what they
must expect if they persist in trying to
capture him. Altogether, he is most
romantic character in these matter-of-fa
days. If he can only settle down and
write for the Ledger, his fortune is made
