Some days after these events, two travellers might have been seen descending a hill near the residence of Col. Hinson, in the town of Wakefield, Alabama ; these persons were Col. Burr and his guide. At the foot of the hill they were intercepted by a file of dragoons led by Capt. Gaines, commanding Fort Stoddard, near by. Capt. Gaines rode forward. " I presume, sir, " said he, "that I have the honor of addressing Col. Burr. " "I am a traveller in the country, " replied the person addressed, "and... do not recognize your right to ask such a question. " " I arrest you at the instance of the Federal Government, " was Gaines rejoinder. " By what authority do you arrest travellers on the highway, bound on their own private business, " asked the stranger. "I am an officer of the army ; I hold in my hands the proclamation of the President and Governor directing your arrest, " t was the reply. " You are a young man, and may not be aware of the responsibilities which re sult from arresting travellers, " said the person addressed.
