‘One day as I- was walking.'iie"ar/the road, I saw‘
a gentleman pass, with a waiter bi.-liiiid him,
both armed; The waiter had a broad "sword
hung to his side, and a paii-"of pistols.’ This was
a noted‘ sign for money. _ VVe. 'mounted:o'ur liar-
ses, and overtook them 32 miles from our camp. '
The m'a"n in front -asked us whogave‘ us leave to‘
carry arms and assa,ul.t-peo’ple'0‘n' the high way ?- I
told him I-'was'an officer ( I ha'd-’uniforin' on) ; that
war was declar'ed"between Spain and the’. United
States, and that he nilist surrender all his money
or we would put pow'cler“and"'ball into’ him. See-
ing our’ pistols cocked in our bands,‘ they: dis-

mounted and gave up» tlieir money '; after taking

their arms from ‘thein I took their ‘saddle.-bags and
portmanteeu. .\’Ve-found 744- pieces ofgoldjin
the portmanteau. I got for myslzare 534 pieces_
of gold, amounting to 35,300.‘ We had been in
this cave *alto‘geth’er‘ about two‘ months, and had
made during that tiirie, 26,705 dollars. Ina few
days we started for Pe_n_'sacola,3and put up‘ at the
boarding house of madaniest Valey. Our time
passed with great pleasure,‘ ' and we staid five
months; Tliere never wasa-week'withoi‘it a ball-
being given by some of "the French or Spanish
gentlemen in town. ' One day one of them ask-
ed"tnc if‘ I liad'hea"i'd the news. I told him no.
-I was ‘alarmed, for -I ithouglit he was going to
mention the robheryof the last‘ Spaniard ; but,
it wasonly that I andiny companions were pick-
ed out to give the next ball‘on thatnight‘ week. "
I told one of my highwaymenr to give a ball at my
expence, as he could speak their language. We
then left Pensacola,'aiid when we arrived at'Ba.-.
ton Rogue the Governor sentapriest-to bring us
intotlie garrison ; this priest was his interpreter.
Gov. Grandpree asked mdif I was from‘ the U.
States.‘ ' I told him "No Sir,’ ‘and taking out my‘
pocket book, gave him the p_assp'oi“t which he had
given me 8 months before, to pass through the
Spanishdominions. He‘ looked ‘very earnestly
at us, and said we had been passing through the‘
provinces to see the fortifications, and that he
would send us‘t'o‘th_e mines, unless we could give
a_ more satisfactory-account of ‘ourselves. % He
gave us in charge of an officer, untiljhe cojild gen
some word from Pensacola. " We were put in
the ‘guard house, and our money taken from us.
I hired a man to go to Pensacola, iandjget a true
account of us from the house’ where we had board-
ed, and to bring a letter from some Spanish and
French pofiicers, who had boarded _with_ us in the
same house. - On the 14th do my. mcssengeiv
returned accompanied by the son of the lady at
whose house we had boarded. _ He was known to
the governor, and ‘had anumber of ' letters from
-the French oflicersin favor of us‘, and he gave so
‘good an ‘account of us that the governor ordered
us to be released,'after it had cost us iiem-‘"2000
dollars. " ' -~ " I
._ We got on board of a barge and went to Nash»
yille, Tennessee. ‘Finding there was a man go-
ing from Nashville to Georgia, weleft the town,
and lay in wait for and robbed him. VVc h_atl no
horses, but as he came along the” road I rushed
from the woods, andscized his horse by the bri-
dle. I told him he must alight and deliveif up
his money. Seeing that we were well armed, he
dismounted very peaceably and gave up what he
had. _ I got 970 dollars from him in ba’nk‘notes
and silver. we determined to get to some cave
between Knoxville and South West Point,‘as we
thought it would be a good place to rob. I there-
fore left my two robbers, at a tavern in- Knoxville,
and went to Nashville, to make some previous‘ ar-
rangements. I Upon my return, I fell ‘ in, and
joined company with a drovcr, on his way to Vir-
ginia. As I supposed he was pretty flush of man-
ey, I determined to rob him. When we got into
Franklin County, Va. a favorable spot presented
itself, about 15 miles from the court-‘house, when
I robbed him of his liorse ‘ and. 350 dollars, and
rode oil‘ as fast aspossible. The night after, I
was taken. ' I had retired to bed, at a liouse on
the road, thinking the pursuit ‘was over, when the
houscwas surrounded by ten or fifteen men, and
I was put in prison. A singular ‘thing occurred,
which I think was the cause of my bei_n'g‘t_akcn'.
About 9 o’clock_ the night I robbed-the'drover, as
I was riding along very rapidly to getout of the
reach of pursuit, I saw standing across the road
a beautiful horse, as white" as snow, his ears‘ stood
straight forward, and his figure very lieautift_il.--—
I never before saw so white a horse.’ V1/hen I
approached within six feet of him, he disappear-.
ed .in an instant, which made me feel very uiieasy,
and made me stop at a house near all that night.
My seeing him was the causeof my p’ui'su_ers
preaching me. I think this white horse was Lflirist,

A and that he came to warn me of my sins, and to

make me fear and repent. \Vell, my tiial came
on, and I was sent to the penitentiary for eight
' r . ' _
efdfter I had served 5 years, I was dismissed for
my good conduct. “Then I went to_bed that
night _afterI got out of the penitentiary, it ap-

out, as liedid Daniel out of the fiery’ lurnace.T.-
