jackson and Benton.

On the breaking outof the War of
1872 Gen. Jackson was one of the very
first to tender his services to the Gov
eminent, and collected force of $500
men which met at Natchez, where it re-
manned idle some two months when it
was ordered disbanded. Jackson, en-
ragged, declined to disband the troops
there, but took them back home, giving
drafts on the Government for the ex-
penses thus incurred. These drafts the
Government refused to pay, which
placed Jackson in a very unpleasant
predicament. At this juncture Col.
Benton volunteered to 60 to Washing
ton in Jackson's interest, and, if pos
sible, induce the Government to pay
the drafts, and save Jackson's honor
and property. BY his polite and adroit
management he succeeded. AS Col.
Benton was about returning to Nash
vile he received word from his broth
er, Jesse Benton, that Gen. Jackson
had acted as second in duel to that
brothers antogonist-a most ungra-
| cious act, as itappeared, at moment
when the claims Of gratitude should
have been uppermost in Jackson's
heart. In this duel Jesse Benton was
wounded. An angry letter was writ
ten by Thomas H. Benton to Jackson,
and the latter swore s'by the Eternal
he would horsewhip Tom Benton. On
Sept. 4, 1913, the two Bentons were in
the doorway Of the City Hotel, at
Nashville, when Jackson and Col. Cot
fee approached. Jackson brandished
his whip, Col. Benton fumbled for his
| pistol, Jackson drew his own, and at
the same time received in his arm and
shoulder a slug and bullet from the
pistol of Jesse Benton, who stood be-
hind him, Jackson was thus dropped
by a terrible wound. Coffee then at
tackled Col. Benton, who fell down a
flight of stairs. This disgraceful affair
laid Jackson up for several months
and drove Benton to Missouri.
