BIIZAB HUNT ON THE HISSISSIPPI.

(I-‘mil the unpublished Journal of Banvard the Artist.)

I had been wind-hound for two days, and unable to force rny unwieldy craft down the rivennlthough thccurrent flowed uitern idly. so was forced to remain tied up an o d oy- grcse stump in the bend just above Cow Islan .

uriug the night. a snow-storm had whitened the sand-bar, which stretches of from the Ken- tucky shore, connecting the Island with the main land. aflrding an excellent qpportunity for tracking game. So after break t. I too my ride and ehrtsd for :59 bur, expecting! In gbt find a few rabbi - ‘lobe other small game. I lied nauly ' the Island without boviu Qauffla flpgle track whenl ooiiie u u s. " ft-ple directly at the hood 0 the is an we so " strapping" or sly decks. I thou t [would examine the pile, and see if I ooul find such a

icon of timber as would answer the purpose. in n preaching the hoop I came to a small sloug of water which was not frozen. which I had to round. when I discovered a track from the drift pile to the water-they were of e ler bear. After examining the neigh- boui-lio . I concluded that the animal must have made it hie den, for there were no indica- tions of hie having come from the main shore. as there were no tracks. save those from the drift to the water. where the animal had re- paired to quench hie thirst, and then returned to his liar ngitiu. Having satisfied myself on this point. and that there was not much pro- lit of the nniinnl leaving his somewhat coin- ortii le quot-tors, I hastened back to my boat, and informed us men of the capital e rt in store for us. 1.‘ ey went to work imm iately loading their arms and sharpening their knives. pzapcritig for thecontest. A cnnesse flut- t had landed about half a mile tibovc us and I sent word for all hands to come and par- ticipate in the s rt. We all now repaired to the quarters of i\ r. Bruin in the drift-pile. but before we arrived, our dogs took the scent and bounded away in advance of the party, yelp- lng upon hie trail. My do Carlo had seen such s rt before, but the dgog from the Ten- ueeoce twus butniunull terrier,butnp red to understand matters very well, and proved of great: assistance in creeping in among the small cracks between the logs. harrnssing the game. Having prepared ourselves around the pi e, we encouraged the dogs on to the attack. but Bruin had selected hie bod quite in the very interior of the moss oflo , and it wits ilificult for the dogs to arouse iim iilthough we could hear u‘." '__._.. O . ._.,° _. -anus, uue ms-sets not see them. Finding the dogs could not: start the bear. we ell set to work to remove some of the logs from over hie bed, as we thought he might be approached iu that manner. After removing it great number of logs. we came upon a large ‘limb of a tree, which ngppurcd. by the growls of the animal to he just. it to his position. Despctcliing ono of the boys up to the boat for axes, with which they soon return- ed. we wont to work cutting of the limbs, but after an hour's work, when near reochin the animal. and when hie shag cost was visible, he suddenly obcngcd hie sition, and descend- ed quite to the bottom 0 the drift-pile entirely out of our reach, and where the dogs won it not follow him. However we were not to be bullied, so renewed the seige with vigour, and were determined that tho enemy should stir- reuder. Oocasiimnlly we could see the beast. and co d have easily shot him, but were afraid that if we killed him in hie don. we could not extricate hie corpse afterwards, and thus lose our game. We now held it council of war, and decided to burn the enemy‘ fortress. and com- pcl him to surrender at discretion. Some loose powder was scattered alon over the logs, and a large hole in one w s cuvily charged. in hopes the explosion wen (1 fr] litcn the animal out. The match was epplio , and soon t e upper rt of the hoop was in a blaze, bein assisted‘ by a strong north wind, which fanne the smoke and flames directly to the interior of the pile. where the bear ha crawled. We all now surrounded the place. with our rifles ready for the first sortie of the besieged, expectin he would bolt as soon as the explosion too l on. ' n it come, with the report ofo heavy piece of artillery. which made the lo tremble and the sruroundiu forests echo wit its deaf- ening discborge, at t a same time scattering the flames all through the burning pile; but Bruin budgcd not. We now set fire directl ' over the position of the hear, so that the con s, falling through the interstices of the log u . would cause him to evacuate his pos tion, and the lll b wind soon fanned the dry wood into it liitgh lose. One of the Tcnneeae men. who was busy shaking the fire with a long pole, that the coals might fall upon the beast. now shouted out that “ tho vurinint was certainly uneasy." for he “ smell the ba’r burning." We ooiild hear the old fellow crawling around among the logp, to escape the coals, occasional- ly uttei-iago ideous growl. The entire mass 0 appeared to be in one sheet of flame, exec t directly on the south side. which we left or the beer to escape by. The llre grew hot. the timber cracked. and it was now evident that Mr. Bear must either “olope" from quarters, ‘or become roas . ur ogs oo_in- inonoed barking at the south side of the drift, lndimthg that the old fellow was edgin ol in that direction to get out of the way of t e are a smoke. “Here's the varinint!" shouted out one of the tall Tennesseeens as the animal e nose between two loge, eudeavorlng to get some fresh air.

THE LAND OF THE IMPOSTOB.

Matiostiir was an impostor. There is no denying the fact. He was it false prophet —-thatia to say, false in representing him- self as it “prophct," and declaring that Pu- radise was full of black-eyed girls, with smiles reserved for the faithful. That is shocking doctrine, and the public journals which express Russian sentiments in Lon- don, make the most of it. The Times, for instance is horrified by the peculiarities of the Mahommi-ttin religion; and all good Christians, ifthc religion of Mahoinet were the point in controversy, would feel bound to subscribe to the writings ofthe Times. But the religion of Mahomet is no more in question at the present moment than the re- ligioue of Confucius or Joe Smith. Were the case otherwise, it would not be difficult to show how much more Christian the Mchomcttin Turk is than the Christian Rus- sian. The letter ofOtticr Pacha to Prince Gortschakoff, demanding the evacuation of the Danubiun provinces, is one of the most moderate and-temperate documents of the

ind that ever was written; aizd that the

Turkish Government is pervaded by the Ib‘i‘l=|5l.?“‘alIl'll‘ll,_\l!O _know by the Ion otliciitl ...........“I.;‘irritates?.tni.t*te.§9.|tui:g only declared against Russia, the general council has decided that there shall be no change in the system either in the interior or abroad; and consequently the ordinance recommending all closes of subjects to not well towards one another will continue to have the same force, and whoever may vio- late it will be rigorously punished. Fir- mnns containing this eclaretion, as well as the necessary instructions, have been addressed to all the governors of provinces. People who only know Mnhomet as an “imposter," may be ratlér surprised at declarations like this and more particularly if they should have read the denunciation of the Turks in the Times as " brutal bar- barians." The followers of Mubomet show that they possess fcelin a which are scarce in Christian countries; ussie. forinstance, where the imperial potentate is gnashing his teeth in a terrible rage, crying " war tntheknifel" " war a I’ entrance!" war of extermination! against his enemies, whose goods and chattels he desires to take poe- sessicn of, but is forbidden. Mahomet, with all his peculiar notions of block-eyed hour-is, just alluded to, was a great reform- or in his time. and demolished the worship of wooden figures 0 men on beasts, which he found his country devoted to. The worst that can be said against the Turks in, that they have not marched in the way of improvement so first as some Christians have done. Bot has the Russian march- ed as fast the Turk? only to hold his own. The other covets the Turk’s possessions, and by hook or b crook will have them, unless England and Franco prevent him. And what the prize really is that the Emperor‘: mouth waters for we learn by the following admission, simply and innocently made by one of his friends. “ This poor little weak State is constituted of territories the most opulent, extensive, and Imperial ever known since the days of Rome. Three quarters of the lobe con- tribute their faircst re ions to its ominions. Its possessions inclu e the richest rovin- ces of Asia, Africa, and Europe. he su- perficial extent of its territory is more than double that of Great Britain and France united, and this not constituted of swamps or solitudes, but of the most renowned and productive countries under the sun. Under the sway of the Government recommended to generous protection on the score of its weakness is compromised half the great basin of the Mediterranean. All the most famous cities of Asia, all the seats of unci- ent power and reatncss—T re and Sidon, Antioch and erusulem, emuscue and Bagdad, Babylon and Palmyra, together wit all the islands and seaports of that magnificent region, form but one-half of the Turkish empire. In Africait eesee t land of ' pt, itself equivalent to a king-
