A TRUE SKETCH OF LIFE IseKANSAS.' " Among the truest friends of the peo ple, of all in the present Convention, may be named John Hill, of St. Francis.

A desperateltencon tre occurred last week in St. Francis. Tw.o distinguished citizens were killed, aiid three others dangerously wounded. The difficulty resulted from an attempt to arrest John Hill, a member of the last Legislature, and formerly of the State Convention, who, as it is alleged, is the trious, generous and hospitable ; and such rjotorious robber, Nixon Curry, that com- j continued to be his character, in the new milted such atrocities fifteen years ago in ; country of his adoption, for twelve suc- the mountains of Carolina."- Little Rock i cessive years.

Ve may record ir, not as a matter of men(, perhaps,! but for the sake of historical trmti-j-t hat the youthful ban dit never was known to perpetrate any deed of murder forhe sake of plunder, though he did scveraLto avoid arrest. At 'length the rumor of his! daring felonies ceased suddenly, and notwithstanding a reward of five thousand dollars was of fered for his apprehension byvthe Govern or of' the State, he! was heard of no more in North Carolina.; At; the first settlement of the. fertile delta, bordering ort the St. Francis, there came an emigrant, who called himself John Hill, and who soon succeeded in ac quiring universal jpopularity.

The Writer, who has resided long on the fron tier, has no use for fancy in pourtraying lis exciting life. Simple memory will serve him very well. : i 1 1 About fifty years ago there liv?d in Ire dell count', North Carolina, a-fjresbytc-rian minister by the name of Ciffry. He was a man in easy circumstances, of ir reproachable character, and had a large family of promising sons and daughters. Among those the favorite was Nixon, dis tinguished when a boy for his fearless Courage and the tenderness of bis heart alike. He seems, from several anecdotes Of his early days, to have been a child of impulse and intense earnestness and pas lion. When only six years of age, he had a combat at school with a. bully of the playground, nearly twice his own vpioht. anrl after KtiflVrincr flreadf iillv. at axb striking the "loft," that all ast achieved victoryi due almost to the .

He was repeatedly elected to the Ter ritorial Legislature, where he distinguish ed himself by a strong, impassioned elo quence, as a chief leader in the Demo cratic ranks. He was next, as we have alreadyseen, a member !of the Conven tion tljat formed the State Constitution; and was elected again the ensuing year to represent his county in the Senate of Arkansas. j At; this period commenced his second series of misfortunes. Hill's nearest neigh bors were the Strongs, four brothers of considerable wealth, more ambition, and if we may borrow the phrase of the coun try, "famous fighters. of sulphur.
