The ciriunstances of this horrible mur4 (le: may. till be fresh in the memitory. o inuy, butti details of the capture of the mtrdererlmhave.never, we believe, been masttle public. A-id as the personages cot ceriied in the arrest, tuge'her with the iode in whicla it was performed, aflftrd a linme op liortunity for exemplifying'sone of the pe culsiariies of Souith-western character, we th-ll.give the.,r:lation as we heard it from the aoath of one of ihe actors, indeed the prinicipaai in-theaffair. But to begin at the begir-ling. A bout two weXAs affter lea viang Columbia, we were slanding aj the door of a small house in the little town of Jonesboro,' on the Waslitn, COnsisting of five or six log alwelliangs, and a cotion shed of the saume primitive architecture. Near where we stood were two Arkansawyers, as they call themselves, in earIest ConVersation, MIa the course of which one of them used a phrase which, though common at the South, was -at least new to us. It was-'Ah! he's a striker.' Now, although curiosity is said to be the peciliar prerogative (if woman, we must confess that man likewise has no small shatre of the same ticklish propensity; at least we felt it on that occasion, and step ping forward, said 'My friend, what do you mean by a strker?' IThe man eyed us for moment, and then .replied 'Why you see, stranger-but stop a-bit, till I take a Virginia feast.' 'A 'irginia feast,' thought we; 'what is that? \Ve soon knew, for after diving into the recesses of his capneiis pockets, lie drew ft ailm large piece of chewiag toibacco, atl after affering it to us. with 'IHave a chew?' lie hit sifl. railician tti poismi a hoirse, amd rolling it to the side of his Cheek, coms anenceil his explaiation afresh. 'W tb you sae, stranger-Moses an1d At rim war strikers; Ge-rge Washingtm war a strikear; mnd liat mai thnsr. (pointing tit an ina dividal ati it la sart distance oil.) 'he's .a striker, iail n mistake. lie aint felt his 61n1ts for notliina'. I itl ve.' This defin iionl puzzled its a little. but wea adetah otit eiough i it ti milerstital that all persois w%,htis perfoarm deeds of prowess are -strike-rs.' The 'mai thar,' imlicated us a striker, wats a short, leia, niscitlair mn, dressed ia a white blaiket cait, wit stripes romid the skirt and over tlie thoulders, so cam un14n lto thle S1111h.
