Kind Aunt Chloe provided me with a unch and a multitude of directions, besides uany kind wishes, and I left the old creat ure as I had found her busily sweeping the walks. ' I took the road she designated, but before long I began to feel so tired and exhausted I was forced to rest; yet all day I toiled on, but., as I could see, I 'was no nearer tho longed-for goal than before. I began to feel that I had mato a mistake in leaving home, after all. It wt better than trun ing across the country half starved and looked upon with suspicion by every one. Toward evening I passed many farm houses, but I dared not enter for fear of the fierco dogs that barked savagely insido the yards. to, worn out, at length I sought a clump of bushes growing by the roadside, and here I passed the night. I slept soundly, despite the cold wind and the hard couch.

'T'o the benate and 110u8e of Represn1a(ive: U ENTLEM aN: I am sincerely thankful for 11w honor conferred by your concurrent resolution of the 12th instant, inviting me to visit you during your present session. It wculd give me great pleasure to meet the representatiyes of the people I have served so long, and have loved so much. It is reasonable to suppose that the time is near at hand when I shall go hence for ever, and I would be glad personally to know the men of the present generation to whom the destiny of Mississippi is to be con(3ded. Mississippans, from the time of her terri torial cxistence, have borne an honorable part In the affairs of the country, and have shrunk from no sacrifices which patriotism has demanded. Hearing testimony as one who comes down to you from a past age I can applaud the chivalry and integrity of old Mhsissippi, and my highest wish is that her future record may be worthy of tie past. When your very complimentary resolu tion was received, my health did not pcr mit me, as I desired, at once to accept aua indicate a time at which 1 would visit you My anxiety to confer with and learn th< views of my younger brethren caused m1 to hope tiht at a later period I uigh' be al)le to send to you an acceptance lhot that hope las not b een realized, ant unless the session should he protracted :nt comnpelled to annlounce my inability t< attend.
