went on the hunt ot him, but did not

up to the present time. j
It is whispered around that W. II.
Erwin, of Boon, will be a candidate
tor county judge for the northern dis
trict. It looks as if the title of Col. is
getting decidedly too common in this
county. How would it do to restrict
the use ot the title to those who held
that office during the "Ute unpleas
antness" or some other "unpleasant
ness?" In plain words it is getting
to be ridiculous.
A. J. Satterlee has shipped on an

The new jail proposition is not at
tracting any attention as yet but we
are expecting to hear of objections

especially by the jailer and the Unit
ed States Marshal, Mr. Hinds.
They seem to take pleasure in doing
everything in their power that will
add to my com tort. They seem to
realize that 1 am a human being,
and not a monstrosity, as the Hon,
Wm. II. Wallace pctured me at
Gallatin.
Never since the world stood has a
man made a greater effort to con
vict an unfortunate being, but thank
God, "truth is mighty and will pre
vail." I know it almost broke his
heart when he made the announce
ment, 011 the uthof February, that
he would be forced to dismiss the
case against me. I never in all my
life saw uch a let down. It was
so mean, complete and contempti
tible that the most ignorant boot
black in Kansas City must have felt
like dropping a tear for "poor Wil
liam." He too, no doubt felt like
the old Cardinal in "Henry VIII"
"Farewell, a long farewell to all my
greatness!"
As to the outlook here, it is just
a.s I have always said, I am sure to
be acquitted : i will be beyond the
possibility of every doubt should
justice prevail.
I do not think I will attempt to
eive bond owing to the fact that I
have already put mv friends to a
vast amount of trouble and incon
venience since my surrender, and
I feel to tax them further would be
unreasonable, as it is but a short
time till couit convenes at this
place. April 7 is, I understand, the
day set for convening.
I have employed Gen. L. P.
Walker as local counsel. He is a
profound lawyer, and during the
late unpleasantness was secretary
of war Jefferson Davis' adminis-
tainly have no cause for. complaint.
Hoping to receive a copy of the

say adieu. Yours truly.
