A SETTLER’S EXPLOIT. As Samuel Bowditch, one of the early set- o” | «At any rate I can holler yit !’’ muttered | the captive, ‘‘and may be they'll hear me ;”’ ) and forthwith he set up a series of yells that | went echoing and re-echoing faraway through | the forest. The settler saw his wife and children come in haste to the door, and Jook up the hill in alarm. At this he shouted at the top of his lungs. ** Quick, Esther—go back into the house and bar it uptight! The Injans ar’ arter you, and I’m a prisoner ! you're lost, and the children too !”’ For a moment or two the mother and chil- dren stood paralysed with amazement and terror, and then, to his great relief, he saw his little boy point in the direction of the skulking savage, and all three hastily retreat and cluse the door. The Indian now uttered a fierce yeli, and stepping out into plain view, fired both pieces one after the other, at the dwelling, as if he had impulsively adopted this meaus to vent his rage at being discovered and foiled of his murderous purpose. Then looking round at his captive, he threw down the rifle belon, ing to the latter, and drawing his tomahawk, started toward him on a run. Bowditch, who had watched every motion, and knew that in his rage the savage would brain and scalp him, now gathering all his strength, made one desperate effort to free himself, acting rather from the imstincts of self-preser- vation than from any real hope of success, But to his great joy, his unspeakable joy, he heard and felt his bonds strain, crack and soap, and suddenly found himself free and his arms at liberty. He looked quickly and wildly around, almost disposed to doubt his senses—to discredit his good fortune—for any fortune then seemed good which would give him even a bare chance for his life where he expected only certain death. The Indian was at least a hundred and fifty yards from him, and his rifle was unloaded ; and with that start in a race for life—ina race that involved not only his own life but that of his wife and children—who so ewift of foot as to overtake him ? With a loud yell of mingled joy and de- fiance, away he went ever the hill, and with a louder yell of rage at his unexpected es- cape, the fierce savage came bounding after him. Bowditch knew every inch of ground in that vicinity, and he had already regained sufficient presence of mind to shape his course | 80 as to take advantage of all the chances in his favour. The hill, about the summit, was a saccession of rocks and bushes, with caves, chasms, and precipices, and over, through and along these natural obstructions the fugitive believed he could make his way with any man living, either white or red, and so he took the most troublesome route for | his larger and more wowieldy pursuer, re- solved, should he by chance find the latter gaining on him, to double on him ata certain cave not more than halfa mile distant, where he could enter, and by following one of the labyrinthian passages within, could come ;out on the same side on a thicket not more ‘than fifty feet from the main opening. | Looking back occasionally, as he fled along | his rocky way with the ease of a mountain | goat, Bowditch soon discovered that however superior to him hie adversary might be in| |mere pliysical strength, he was no match | for him in speed in that particular locality ; jand this not only inspired him with the hope jof escape, but with such confidence in his }own resources, that he began in turn to cal- culate how best he might compass the des- truction of his foe. “Why not lure him into the caye,”’ he |muttered, ‘+ and let him fool his time round thar, whilst 1 start back arter my rifle, and | tlers on Grand River, in Kentucky, was going | then foller up the audacious whelp? Ill do | across a patch of swamp, one afternoon, about it, and if I don’t git even with him sit, then half a mile from his dwelling, to look after | jt’s a case fortin’s agin me.”? some cattle, he heard a stick snap behind | him, and quickly turning round, he found him- self confronted with a huge savage, in all the | hideousness of his war-paint,and with his rifle | or musket levelled at his head, the muzzle | not more than four feet from him. Bowditch himself had a rifle in his hand, but he knew the Indian could shoot him before he could raise it and fire, and so he did not make the attempt, but dropped it to the ground and held up his open palms, in token of surren- der. On seeing this, the savage walked up and said ; ‘«Give Injun gun !”’ The settler picked up his piece, and as he handed it to the other, said, in a conciliatory tone : *«T see you're a big chief, and I hope we may be friends.’’ ** Where live?’’ asked the savage as he produced a stout thong of deer-skin, and pro- eded to bind the hands of his captive, who, fing a small man, saw he was no match for the other, even without weapons on either side, and so submitted quietly, though agon- ized at the thought of his poor, helpless wife and children, in their Jonely cabin over the bill. **] live out yonder, not a great ways from here,”’ replied the captive, nodding his head in the proper direction. “‘Hiow many got?’’ queried the savage. The settler hesitated about telling correct- ly. He first thought he would name a num- ber large enough to deter the Indian from going thither, and thus, a save his wife and children from a fate like his own; but after a moment’s reflection, it occurred to him that, should the savage take him there a chance might arise for him to regain his liberty, and so he decided upon speaking the truth. ‘* Why no Long-knife tell?” demanded the Indian, with an impatient frewn. * No lie make!’ ‘* No, chief; I’ll tell you the truth. There are only three persons in my cabin—my wife and two little children—but I know a big brave chief like you wont hurt ’em.”’ ‘Me go see ’em !’’ returned the savage, other did not fail to notice. Having tightly bound the hands of his captive behind his back, the savage felt about i his dress for any other weapon, took away his ammunition, and putting both weapons over his own shoulder, told the man to lead | fear and general anxiety, till he came in sight of his humble log dwelling, situated ina |pleasant valley, through which flowed a | pretty little stream, a branch of the Green river, when the Indian ordered him to stop, jand proceeded to make him fast to a tree, | by means of another deer-skin thong secured /to that around his wrists. ‘** Aint you going to let me go down ‘to the house with you ?’’ inquired the captive, now beginning to feel much alarm for the safety of his family. *« Me go alone !’’ returned the savage gruff- lly. ‘Me, big chief—want scalp!” ‘© Oh, for God’s sake, don’t kill my poor ‘innocent wife and children !’’ pleaded Bow- | ditch, fairly agonized at the thought. * You |} are a great chief, I know, and you'll remem- Having come to this determination, Bow- ditch slacked his pace till his pursuer was within fair view, when he pretended to stum- ble and fall, and then got up and ran with a limp, which caused the savage to yell with fierce delight and to redouble his exertions to overtake him. This was exactiy what he intended to bring about, and he now manag- ed his pace with so much deception, that, though seeming to exert himself to the ut- most, he permitted the panting savage to gain a little every minuto, till the mouth of the cave was reached, at which time not more than a hundred paces divided them. The Indian saw the fugitive disappear in the dark opening, and believing he now had him secure once more, he came bounding up and i in after him, with a yell of triumph. he settler, who knew every twist and turn of every passage in the caye—and there were many—now uttered a sort of wailing groan from the centre, to urge the Indian on, and then quietly slipped off in a different di- rection, and reached the bright open air about the same time the other did the middle of the interior. ‘*Now then for it,’’ muttered Bowditch, as he slipped over the brow of the hill and ran down toward his dwelling, which, owing to the ridge bending round the valley, in the shape of a magnet, or horse-shoe, was scarce- ly as far distant as when he called to his wife. His family saw him, and with a ery of joy his wife threw open the door. ‘* Quick, Esther !’’ he exclaimed, as he came up panting; ‘t’other powder-horn and some builets— quick !” ** Aint you coming in, Samuel !’’ inquired the wife in surprise and alarm. ‘* Jest long enough to get them things, since you won’t !’’ he answered, as he bound- ed in and harried to a rade shelf on one side of the room. * I’ve sort of played the coward onee to-day,”’ he added, ‘‘and now I’m going to wipe it out.

Good-by!’’ and without waiting for a reply ,he ran out in the direction of his rifle, his wife vainly callin for him and entreating him to come back an not risk his life foolishly. As soon as he had once more got hold of his rifle, he hastened to load it, and then felt, as he afterwards expressed it, ‘like a new man.’’ Then keeping himself as much under cover as possible, he hurried up to a point where he could secrete himself and command a fair view of the mouth of the cave, within easy rifle range. ‘© Ef old Paint-face haint mizzled,”’ he muttered, with an ominous frown, “ its my opinion he never will !’’ and like a cat watch- ing for game, he kept his eyes riveted upon the spot where he expected to see him appear. For ten minates all was still — nothing moved—and then, to his bitter satisfaction, he beheld the Indian coming out with a stealthy step, looking cautiously and suspi- ciously around. ‘The settler’s rifle was already levelled, and for a moment or two he sighted directly at his beart, and then fired.

Quick ! quick, or; | Novenry 1 Jovrnauisw.—* * The Ima-| ginary News will be constituted on the prin- | ciple of supplying people with che intelligence , they wish to receive. There are many per- / sons who are sick of the abominable battles | with their hideous accounts of killed and | mutilated, the frightful accidents, the dread- | ful murders, and other atrocious crimes and | offences, which abound in the existing jour- (nals. In their disgust and impatience they | are ready to exclaim against the writers who serve them with this everlasting mass of horrors :—~ Out on ye, owls; nothing but songs of death! | They hunger and thirst after good tidings. | They want pleasant things to read at break- facts to spoil it. The newspaper for their money is one which, in the hotel or the rail- harrows the feelinge and annoys them with the prospect of being called on to subscribe for its relief. Detestable in their eyes are all the narratives of wars, and ramours of wars that make them tremble lest this coun- threaten them with the vated penal of an increased Rnometiiee Consid vaering that the disaster apprehended very seldom happens, and that the disaster which does happen is punily unforeseen, they think they had better be made comfortable than uncomfortable in the meanwhile. Hence the demand for a consolatory and cheering jour- of the Imaginary News. The columns of the Imag:nary News will be exclusively composed of gratifying infor- mation. The space devoted to its leading articles will be filled with observations con- ceived in @ joyous and hopeful spirit, caleu- lated to inspire a happy frame of mind. The subjoined announcements will exemplify the sort of reading to be afforded. ‘* We congratulate our readers on the cer- tainty of a more than abundant harvest, in fact the most ample ever known. Large quantities of English corn will, it is certain, be this year exported to Odessa. ‘*General Garibaldi has entered Rome amid the acclamations of the people. The French troops have piled their arms and fra- ternise with the volunteers. The Pope will not trouble them to occupy Rome any more. His Holiness has recognised the logic of facts, agrees to be satisfied with his spiritual posi- tion as head of the Church, and will crown Victor Emmanuel King of {taly in the Ca- thedrul of St. Peter. ‘* The American Civil War has terminated. President Lincoln has issued a proclamation declaring the prolongation of hostilities be- tween North and South incompatible with civilization and Christianity. @ troops on hoth sides are disbanded, the bleckade has been raised, and Commissioners are engaged in settling the boundary line between the Federal and Confederate States. ** Half a million bales of cotton have ar- rived in the Mersey. ‘* The representations of the British Go- vernment have induced Austria to evacuate a geaaaaaaaaa and relinquish Veuice to taly. ‘* The Emperor Napoleon has promulgated an ordinance declaring that, in the presence of circumstances which assure the peace of the world, France will disarm. ‘* Consols have gone up to 994.”” In addition to purticulars such as the fore- going, the Imaginary News will contain the usual record of Births and Marriages, but not that of Deaths. In its editorial remarks the continuance of peace and plenty will be confidently predicted 7" high view of human nature will be maintained, the existence of crime, pauperism, sickness, and every other vest of evil and misery, will be steadily denied. From the preceding statement it will be evident that the Jmaginarg News is likely to take a stand amongst the works of fiction.-— Punch.

THE APPROACHING CRISIS. From the Richmond Despateh, Oct. 22. appealed to Congress in the strongest terms we were capable of employing, to pags all the laws necessary to give conscription full effect as soon as possible. Instead of doing so they waited six weeks in discussing the conscription bill, which, afterall, was passed under the spur ofthe previous question. The members seemed to be seized with the same lethargy that benumbed their faculties after Manassas. They thought that because our troops had driven the enemy from Richmond there was to be no more fighting. In this delusion they were encouraged by the Predsi- dent, who told them that no immediate in- crease of the army was necessary. The in- fatuation that dictated such an annunciation was amazing. The Yankees had not only determined on, but had already begun to levy a force of 600,000 men. That force, we repeatdly declared, would be raised in a very short time, and we were not . ft is already raised in great part ; is drilling as rapidly ae it can, and by the time the cold weather seta in it will be uponus.

Siegel's levies, if we are to credit the Yankee accounts, are to bear down upon us from Washington by the lime of the Orange and Alexandria ‘railroad. They are to aceomplish the twofold task of taking Richmond and eutting of Gen. Lee. The great military oracle, the New York Times, has already laid down the pro- gramme. Nothing is easier, it thinke, than to mareh on into Riehmond, and if per- mitted to dune, undoubtedly : would beeasier.
