thehoi.sei wan surrounded by ten or, fiftcrn
tiitn, ml I was put in prison. A singular
thing cruried, which I think flie cause
of any helng taken. About 9 o'clock the-night
1 robbed the drover, as l was riding along
vcrj rapidlj, tE tout of the rcitch Jr par
suitl saw standing across th: foiH a lieau
tilid horse, as vhitc us snow, Jris eft's stood
straight forward and his figure very beauti
ful, s never before-saw so ulnto a horse.
Wl,r n 1 'approached w ifliin six feet of 1iim, he
dmappcared in an instant,, which made uac
very mieasy, tmd made, roe stop at a house
near that all night. My Seeing him the
cause of tny pursuers reach. 1 think this
-'d-i.it borae was Christ and that he came to
warn mc of my ir.s, and to make we fear!
And teix nt. Well my trial came on, ami
was sent to the penitentiary for t ight years.
After I had served five years, 1 was dis
niwed lor ray good conduct. When I went
to bod that flight after l got out of th -pen-intentiary,
it appeared to mo that the Almigh
ty liad bixmght me out, as ho did Daniel out
;f the fiery furnace. 1 Parted for Baltimore,
tther i woVkcd six months vc.-jr steady at

Albany, N. Y. and was in great a. stress and
poverty and iVtt to bud courses again. I hero

1 would go so lie bought two horses, and wc

Jjtte we met two men from New-Yoi k going
fc Canada. Vc left lloston in company
with thenV and crossed itito Canada, and af
ter travelling 70 or 9j Jinks, we robbed them.
V c uiok irom them S.00 almost all in

I stuid a Ihuso 1 had stolen from the govern
or of New-York. I Ml in company here
with a man that bad stolen ahorse, and who
-said he was so well known, heconld not dis
pose of him. He begged me to dispose of him,
and the consequence was that 1 was appre
hended and lay in goal several months, when
1 was .released on condition that 1 should join
the army, and was five .months under the
command of Colonel Carbcry. I ! had no
ptlicr duty than to be on guard the i residwit s
every day. But they soon fou d work for
in of another sort. Woid was k-ft for toe
one day that there was a chaUcngo for toe ;
there was a regiment of iniliti at George
Town, and they left word that they had a
man that could whip me, or any mm tint-be-
tuau that belonged to their regiment, or ever
belonged to it, and they . might ohose their
iuan and send him out. In a minute they

ended the battle by his crybg enoughs I did
nut mind the word of t1-a Lord now, though
everyday his spirit was crying out to me and
was so fall of wickedness at this 'ima, that,
r.s God is my witness, had a mind to deliver
tip the President to Admiral Cockburn some
night or other, to be taken aboard tlieir ves

in a short time, made a robbery on the road
