What do you mean by 'the ghost?" asked Mr. Breed, in great wonderment. "The ghost, I say did neither of you see a horrible figure pass out of sight suddenly, toward the creek yonder?" "I saw nothing, Mr. Drysdale," said O'Fallon; "did you, Breed?" "Well, I don't know what Mr. Drysdale means by a ghost," said Breed, deliberately; "but I think I did see something down there.
On the fourth of February, 1822, the president of the United States, in council, received a deputation of Indians, from the principal nations west of the Mississippi, who came under the protection of Major O'Fallon, when each chief delivered a speech on the occasion.
In half an hour the sun was up and two little detachments of cavalry were up and away one of them, under Lieutenant O'Fallon, filing out of the cotton-woods, at the eastward verge, and heading straight on the trail of the couriers, who were already out of sight down the valley; the other, leaving a few minutes later, was just disappearing from view of the watchers in the bivouac, over the low ridge or divide that spanned the northward sky-line.
I tried my best to keep out of the current, and only talked freely with a few men; among them Colonel John O'Fallon, a wealthy gentleman who resided above St. Louis.

Before this occurred the South Carolina Yazoo Company had striven to take possession of its purchase by organizing a military expedition to go down the Mississippi from Kentucky.

The canceling hammer, stained with blood, and clotted with hair, lay close by, and every one was reminded of the appearance of the place, the morning after George Gordon's murder. "What can have happened?" asked old Mr. Gordon, who had just entered. "Surely, no one was murdered here last night." "Ah! I fear it is done by poor George's spirit!" exclaimed O'Fallon, who was a very superstitious man.
