In the early part Of The late civil var the
humble home of an aged gentleman named
Jack HinsoD, in Stewart county, was burn
ed by a party Of Federal soldiers. and the
lady mem bers of the family subjected to
barbarous treatment by the rude s0ldieTy.
This so ircensed the father and husband
that he vowed eternal vengeance against
the invaders of his land and the despoiler Of
his home. Nor was this determination one
of idle meaning, or unrelenting purpose.
With atrusty rife, "Oid JACK Hinson,"
IS he was Familiarity called, commenced the
fearful work Of revenge, and, by himself,
would often from a neighb0ring bill OR
dense tbicket, make sure his victim from
the unsuspscting band. Many we're they
who fell before his unering aim, and al
though large rewards we're offered for his
head, and strategy used for bis capture, be
always managed TO elude bis pursaers. His
escapes and adventures were Of the most
thrilling character and If written would be
a romance of no ordinary kind. Alter
a while old Jack organized band OF que
rillas, whose object was not to prey upon
the weak and defeneeless, or robbing the
citizens, bat to carry On a bitter CRUSADE
against the wandering soldiers Of the Fede-
raj army. The Federal soldiers CT ClarEs-
vile and Fort Donelsou made frequent
raids against Capt. Jack and bis party,
cut usually returned with one or more
empty saddles and missing companions.
The South side, IS that section OF
country in Stewart, Dickson, Humphreys
and Montgomery counties, where this Dor
der warfare was carried on, was termed,
became hotly- contested territory. At the
lonely bivouac, on the march, and along
the dreary passes, the avengers rifle was
heard mid the yells of his trusty followers,
and the hills echoed back the sounds OF
victory. Often from the thieket would the
quick bullet pierce the soldier, and
ere q volley could be returned
the ubiquitous Hnson had fed, only
to await another favorable opportunity
Capt. Hlnson did not always 90 with bis
band, aud from the time his heart was
fred with revenge seemed to wish no COM
panion, dwelling mid the solitudes OF the
wild wood and watching from his covert
place the sound of approaching cavalry TO
add another victim to his account. lG IS
stated on good authority that he made
notch for every man he killed. On the butt
of his old rife there were over eighty
notches, each one recording slain foe.
Capt. Jack Hinson will be remembered
by many q wandering rebel as the old gray
haired man who assisted him across the
Tennessee, or guided through blind paths
and intricate coal-lands so numerous in the
section of country skirting the above
stream aud the Cumberland river. This
old gentleman, after an illness of about an
hour, died at his residence at White Oak
Creek Friday the 7th; and, it is said, was
over eighty years of age. He possessed
many noble traits, and had warm heart
whose impulses were generous and brave.
What be did was from conscientious mo-
tives and a sense of duty to the memory of
those who were dear.
