Several years later General Joseph E. Johnston gave me the same account, which he had from another officer of the United States Army, also at the time in the war office.
The day was warm and sunny. A few industrious and enterprising pioneers were seated on a log near the Wallace Cross Roads, in what is now Garrard county, Ky. They were enjoying their noonday luncheon and discussing the object of their woodland caucus. Suddenly the sound of an advancing horse arrested their attention.
"Had not A., who was everywhere present, caused some strong and lightly equipped cohorts to encompass the ground, while part of the cavalry having dismounted, made their way through the thickets, and part on horseback scoured the open woods, some disaster would have prcoeeded from this excess of confidence."

Mitchell describes the full-grown female twins, born at Newport, Ky., called the Newport twins.

Near Warsaw, Ky., Saturday, May 26th. Our first mosquito appeared last night, but he was easily slaughtered. It has been a comfort to be free, thus far, from these pests of camp life. We had prepared for them by laying in a bolt of black tarlatan at Wheeling, greatly superior this, to ordinary white mosquito bar, but thus far it has remained in the shopman's wrapper.
The "Red River Whig" of September 15, 1838, says: "A ruffian of the name of Charles Gibson, attempted to murder a girl named Mary Green, of Louisville, Ky. on the 23d ult. He cut her in six different places with a Bowie knife.
