MISS LANIER |D1OO(1®M llauuibal's Many Reverse». Hannibal was first made au exile, □ot, as commonly supposed, through Roman influence so much as from the personal animosity cf his countrymen. After tho defeat of Zama he turned his attention to the political affairs of Car­ thage and inaugurated a system of re­ form, which ho carried out so rigorously that ho 6oon found himself intensely bated by a large factiou of the Car­ thaginians. Behind him was the lion- aety of the country, however, and find­ ing he could not be swerved from his purpose the rogues in office attempted to assassinate him. Finding that bis death had been determined on, Hannibal left Carthago, went to Tyre and thence to the dominions of Antiochus, whom be soon enlisted in war with Roma The war proved a failure, and Antiochus was ordered to surrender Hannibal, who got news of tho demand and made his escape. Roman hatred followed him to Bithy- nia, and finding himself on the point of being given up he died from poison. The story that ho once had a meeting at Ephesus with bis old enemy, Scipio Africanus, is told on fairly good au­ thority. James Collins was at this time about 24, with dark, well formed features, the courage of a tiger and the endur­ ance of a dozen horses. He decided to play tbe role of deserter, to exchange his blue uuifoim for 3 butternut suit, aud to carry with him his arms. Know­ ing that- the McGees had friends or spies all through the country, Collins left camp at night, and outside of Gen­ eral Carter aud a few officer’s in his own regiment his mission was unknown, aud it was generally believed that ho had deserted. Tbe rendezvous of the outlaws was supposed to be about the headwaters of tbe Clinch river, southwest of the town of Jalisco. On the third day out from Cumber­ land gap Collins met a man at a point where he was evidently posted doing picket duty. He was black haired, lithe and middle aged, and he wore better boots and clothes than the average mountaineer. Instead of the heavy squirrel rifle he carried a Springfield musket, and his belts aud cartridge box, stamped with the letters “U. 8.,” told the source of bis ordnance supplies. Usually these men meet each other and even strangers with a refreshing I and assuring warmth of manner, but the man on picket made no attempt to disguise his displeasure at meeting Col­ lins. Without raising his piece, which ae carried in the hollow of his arm, tbe man took a position directly in the mid­ dle of the trail and called out: II By ALTEES E. CALHOUN. [Oopyright, 1834, by the Author.] CHAPTER L As a people the southern mountaineers are not mercenary, and whether fight­ ing on the side of the Union or the side of secession compensation was with them a secondary consideration. In the Union army they were better fed and better clothed than they ever had been In times of peace, and this fact, cou­ pled with their innate love of fighting, made many of them look upon the war as an undisguised blessing. For nearly four years the battle lines extended over hundreds, yes, thousands cf miles, and during much of this time the southern mountains were debatable territory. Over some counties of south­ eastern Kentucky and northeastern Tennessee the battle tide ebbed and flowed about 60 limes as the men in blue or gray advanced or retreated. In this territory the military rule was spasmodic and subject to the most vio- Collins drank first, as is the custom. lent changes, and the regular machinery of the law—at the best never very ef- footive in these mountain»—went to pieces at the very beginning and re­ mained a wreck till the return of peace. Before the war these mountaineers ! were the most thriftless white people in America. By comparison the free ne- i groes of the south were models of intel­ ligent industry. They raised barely I enough corn and meat to subsist on. [ They were always on the verge of a • famine, aud chronic starvation would j have been the rule had it not been for I the efforts aud forethought of the won- : en and children. But the crops that had always been 1 sparse became very uncertain when hungry troopers began to pour through i ihe mountain trails, and the young corn I was ruthlessly cut or pulled up to feed the horses. “Ef we uns can’t raise hogs and hominy, ’ ’ a3 one of these captured mountain men put it, “we uns can raise hell,” and they did. No inconsiderable number of these men became veritable Ishmaelites. Every disaster in their neighborhood, whether to the Union or to the Confed­ eracy, was turned to their advantage. As “southern partisans” they raided the blue grass country for horses. As “Union scouts” they plundered the un­ protected stores of the Confederates, and their thorough knowledge of tho j country and of the opposition that might be expected gave them for years a pros­ perous immunity from detection. Among the men who successfully i carried on this work cf murder and I spoliation were the McGees—father and , sou. Before the war they lived not far ' from Wild Cat, Ky., but ae soon as j they had mado up their minds to pursue ' a course of impartial robbery they inov- j cd south to the great Cumberland pla­ teau. In the early spring of 1S64 General Carter determined to find the biding place cf these Ishmaelites in the Cum­ berland plateau and to destroy them root and branch. Heretofore they had eluded every force sent against them, aud it was evident that they could not be destroyed by ordinary methods. Learning of General Carter’s purpose, James Collins of the First Tennessee, a young mountaineer of unusual nerve and intelligence, volunteered to go into the camp of the Ishmaelites, learn all their secrets and return with tbe in­ formation. The general questioned him, found that he knew the mountains and tbe people thoroughly, then gave him per- { mission to carry out his plan in his own way. million» of person», permit o» to ap— k of It without Ewi»|.
