Chavis counted among his students W.P. Mangum, afterwards United States Senator, P.H. Mangum, his brother, Archibald and John Henderson, sons of Chief Justice Henderson, Charles Manly, afterwards Governor of that commonwealth, and Dr. James L. Wortham of Oxford, North Carolina.
May Martha was a natural-born non-committal, and knew in her cradle how to keep people guessing. As I said, old man Mangum was absent-minded. After a long time he found out one day a little butterfly must have told him that two young men were trying to throw a net over the head of the young person, a daughter, or some such technical appendage, who looked after his comforts.
I never knew scientists could rise to such occasions. Old Mangum orally labelled and classified Goodloe and myself easily among the lowest orders of the vertebrates; and in English, too, without going any further into Latin than the simple references to Orgetorix, Rex Helvetii which is as far as I ever went, myself.
WILLIE P. MANGUM, President of the Senate pro tempore. WASHINGTON, December 26, 1843. WASHINGTON, D.C., December 27, 1843.

But while I worked he cheered me with the expression of great thoughts handed down from the dead ones of old. He quoted some translations from the Greek at much length. "Anacreon," he explained. "That was a favorite passage with Miss Mangum as I recited it." "She is meant for higher things," said I, repeating his phrase.
With that two hundred thousand dollars I knew I could find May Martha Mangum if she was on earth. And with it I could flutter the butterflies in old man Mangum's dovecot, too. If I could find that treasure! But Lee and I established camp. Across the river were a dozen little mountains densely covered by cedar-brakes, but not one shaped like a pack-saddle. That did not deter us.
