Mr. Editor:- Thc nixty year old letter that you publinhed last week wan very interest ing. It will occur to the mind of but few persons that it was written before our war with Mexico. William Hale married Elizabeth Man- ahan in South Carolina. They were of Scotch-Irish descent and, after their marriuge went to Virginia. From Vir ginia they came to Kentucky and set tled on what is now known aa the old Dowcll farm seven miles east of thia place. This was just about one hund red years ago. They carried my moth er, then a babe, across the Blue Ridge a pack horse. My mother was their oldest child and only daughter. They had three sonn, one of which died in youth. Thomas, the oldest son, was minister of the Gospel. Stephen Fowler, the youngest child, and author of the letter, graduated at Cumber land College, then a great institution of learning at Princeton, Caldwell county, Ky. Richard Beard waa his teacher in Latin, Greek and Hebrew. After his graduation he determined to go to Alabama, then a new country, and considered in those day to be a great place for young men to start In business. My grandfather gave him a horse, saddle and bridle with the ubiquitous saddle, bags of those days and fifty dollar in money, and said: My ton, thi ia all 1 ever shall be able to do for you, therefore, be honest and industrious and you will succeed. Good bye." Then, Steve was gone on his long and perilous journey. lie sold his horse, saddle and bridle, but not the saddle bags-they were his wardrobe. He went to work and taught a school, at the same time putting in all of the spare time he had reading law books. He returned to Kentucky and gradu ated at the law school in Lexington, went back to Eutaw, Alabama, and engaged in hi profession and soon had a lucrative law practice. About this time he married Mary Kirksey, the daughter of a wealthy planter and a year or two after thi our w ar with Mexico came on and he raised company of Alabama volun teer for the invasion of Mexico, under General Taylor. He wa captain of thi comn He participated in nearly all the great Utile of this war and aaw the famous Mexican, General Santa Anna, and was on the battle field when tht general lost hi wooden W. He and hi brave Alabamian I helped to raise the stars and (tripe at the capitol ol tne ancient .juhii-luma... The Mexican war over, he returned home and engagiM in hia profession and w a ion famoua a an orator, tate- man and jurist. When the great civil war broke out, theatate of Alabama appoi"1' mm commissioner to conit r wiin me gov ernor of Kentucky to ascertain, if pos sible, what part that tate would take in the impending struggle. My uncle, prior to thi time, wa a Henry Clay Whig. After thi. he rid a regiment 4if AlaUmiun and entered the service of the confederacy a ctilom l of hi regiment. He wa enl to Virginia and engaged in all the great battle around Richmond in the curly part of the war. Hi nam had ju-t Wim sent up w ith a recommenda tion that he to promoted to Pngailier general when the great battle of Fair Oak and Seven Tine came n. A he went into the fight he said; "Come on, my brave AUl amians. and the day la our."
