MISCELLANY. AN INDIAN RENCONTRE. BY J. T. IRVING. It was about midnight. The excitement which had attended the brush with the scouting party of Indians had cooled. The soldiers were stern and watchful. The idea that they should escape scot free had i entirely passed away; but, notwithstand ing this sense of peril, drowsiness was! creeping over them. Norton had not been seen since the watch was first ap pointed. He had not been engaged in the skirmish, nor was he at his post. Vague surmises were offered as to his fate ; and more than one gloomy shake of the head announced fears of the worst, when they were startled by a cry near the horses. ‘Them Ingens are at the animals,’ said Adherbal, starting up and cocking his j rifle. A number of rangers sprang to their feet. Attlie same time fierce whoops rose from several quarters, echoed by a scream of terror from the horses, and a cloud of savage figures flitted among the underwood. One of them was stopped in full career, by a bullet from Adherbal’s rifle. Then followed a crashing of bush es and stamping of hoofs. A loud yell from the Indians drove the frightened horses to madness. They tore up their stakes and ran, with wild neighs, one a gainst another, \vl l i 1 e the Indians pressed on with whoops and cries. The horses grew furious. The woods rnjig with their w ild neighs. They rushed together in a dense mass, and stood for a moment hes itating as to their course. Adherbal took advantage of the pause to shout. ‘They’ve! rushed them. Let them that value their lives take to the trees.’ lu good time the advice was given and followed; for scarcely were the rangers ensconced, before the herd came gal loping on. Their course was like the rush of an avalanche. They leaped the prostrate fields. Their own neighs and the yells of the pursuers served to in crease their fury, and the ground shook’ ; under them. They bore down the en campment, and could he plainly seen in the light. Every eye blazed! The streaming breath smoked from their nos trils !—Every mane was erect ! Their long tails flaunted in the air,and the white j foam frothed around their mouths. In a | moment they plunged through the fire, and thousands of sparks flew upward In another instant the tent was trampled un der foot. Just then Adherbal spoke in a loud clear voice— ‘W ait till the animals are past.then give it to the Ingens.’ As the herd vanished, a cloud of sava ges followed in their wake, darting from tree to tree. ‘Pepper their -hides !’ cried the old man. A dozen yagers flashed and their reports were answered by a single scream ‘One Pawnee the less,’ said he. ‘Give them another taste.’ He had scarcely spoken, w hen a shower of arrows were discharged by the Indi ans and one of the rangers fell forward, pierced through the breast. Till then Herrick had beer, inactive, | but the fall of the ranger roused him. .He started from his post and his voice i rang like a trumpet through the stillness J which followed the discharge. As he stepped out, Adherbal caught his arm. ‘Keep cool, bov,’ said he, ‘there’s noth ing like calm in ingen lights.’ His advice was unheeded, for Herrick burst from him, cutlass in hand, and sprang toward live enemy. ‘Follow ! follow !’ shouted he, waving his arm to the rangers, who were advanc j ing with Arden. A cloud of arrows were discharged, and several pierced his clothes; but he kept on his course. An Indian sprang at him from behind a tree, but Herrick drew a pistol and shot him dead. ‘Mighty cool,’ said Ritton; ‘l’ve heard Norton speak of that young man. When his blood’s up, lie’s a devil incarnate. They say too, he bears a charmed life.’ ‘ls that the say V cried Adherbal, who was not untinged with superstition. ‘I reckon it may be true, for I never seed a man go so clear of arrows.’ The rangers obeyed, the call of Her rick. Headed by Arden and Santon, they poured on. An arrow struck the latter in the head, and he feeluead direct ly in front of the fire. ‘On !on !’ shouted Herrick ; ‘avenge Stanton !’ It needed only this cry to excite them. The young lieutenant was a favorite with all : and their execrations as they rushed by his corpse, showed the fierce feelings excited by his fall. At that moment a pile of dry fuel, collected to .Verve for the night, caught ‘fire and blazed up like a beacon light, illuminating the dark arch es of the forest with a red, ghastly glare. The situation of both parties was reveal ed. The hushes were teeming with dark vvarriors ; the grum faces and giowing eyes were peering from behind each tree. In a moment the rangers were among them, with their heavy cutlasses. > ‘That’s a mighty ridiculous way of fight ing ingens,’ said Adherbal, who, with a bout eight or ten hunters, still kept the ; trees. ‘There’s three good lives lost,V I Though superior in numbers, the In dians were beginning to give groifhd, when a single whoop rose at some dis-j tance in the w oods. It was but a solita- j ry voice, hut was answered by a yell of; exultation from the Indians. They ral- J lied, and the new comer, a young warrior, j glaring with pain, dished through the thicket and grappled Herrick. ‘That’s Sharatack, the Hawk Chief,’ ; said Adherbal. ‘lf Ostrand’s charmed life ever stood him in stead it is now.’ The contest between the two was hand to hand, foot to foot, and breast to breast. It was a trial of strength and activity, for each had seized the armed hand of his j opponent. Herrick soon found that, in sinew, his foe was 1113 superior; but he shrank not from the struggle. They pres sed each other backward and forward, at one moment so closely clenched, that' their cheeks touched ; the next, they ' held each other at full stretch of arm. ' They w rithed and panted. At length Her rick stumbled and fell, forcing the Indian 1 with him to the ground. The savage at tempted to rise, and half succeeded ; but Herrick wreathed his arm around him and dragged him down, when a blow was aimed at his head by an Indian. A sud den motion caused it to miss and take j partial effect upou the shoulder of Shara-' tack, whose struggles it weakened : and before it could be repeated, the intruding savage was felled by a ranger’s cutlass. During the scuffle, both antagonists had dropped their weapons and grasped each other’s throats, till both were nearly sense less. While thus exausted, an Indian rushed forward and dragged the young j Hawk Chief from the fray. Another rais |ed his tomahawk to make a blow at Her rick, but a ranger’s weapon checked his i arm. Tims frustrated, the savage turned ! furiously upon the new opponent. The Indian was a man of great strength. The | ranger was hurled to the ground and in i another instant had been fairly sped, had ! not a bullet stretched the savage in the dust. ‘That’s the way to send a hall,’ said Adherbal, re-loading his rifle. ‘Yon see, Sip, I didn’t trouble that fellow with un necessary pain. I tried dreadful hard to {get a shof at the Young Hawk while lie j and Herrick were tusseling, hut I could ] not without winging Mr. Ostrand. I’m ! afraid that ingen’s pretty near used him up.’ j As he spoke, however, Herrick rose j slowly from the earth. The crowd of Li llians had grown so dense, that the ran ! gers were completely hemmed in. There | was but little chance of escape, and they j fought with fury of despair, j ‘Monstrous had! monstrous bad!’ ! muttered Adherbal, tightening his belt ! and pulling at his knife, to set it from the i scabbard. ‘I reckon we’ll have to charge , among them. Send them your bullets, {then spring out and give them your I blades.’ ‘Stop ! said a voice at his elbow. ‘Ha! Norton, see what a fix them ran- J gers have got into. They would charge j and now they arc in a pretty Scrape.’ ‘Follow me, all !’ said Norton, without replying ; ‘make no noise.’ With swift caution they made a circuit through the forest, and approached the ! fighting party, from the quarter opposite j that in which they had formerly been sta tioned. ‘Now,’ said Norton, ‘give a hurrah and ! rush them.’ The words rang to their ! loud cheer. ! ‘Forward ! forward !’ shouted he. ‘Hold j your lire till within six paces, then give thhm lead ; and take good aim.’ | The rangers were equally surprised with ' the Indians, at this reinforcement. A ; faint yell of defiance burst from the sav ages, hut was cut short by the discharge of rifles, which levelled, each a man. Club your guns, and close,’ shouted Adherbal. Upon this charge most of the I Indians fled ; hut a few were arrested by i the trumpet whoop of Sharatack, w ho re appeared and took his station foremost in the fight. ‘I thought Herrick had settled that In gen,’muttered Adherbal. ‘They'll fight Hike devils, while the young Hawk heads I them. I think I’ll step .out in the hushes and load my rifle. It’s prudent to settle him without coming to close quarters. He fights wonderful.’ Before he had time to reload his wea ; pon, the Indians disappeared. The Hawk Chief tried to rally them, m vain. In a j few moments not a savage was in sight. ‘Tis useless to follow,’ said Norton ; j ‘lt would only he wasting men, whom j we cannot spare.’ | His advice >vas too prudent to be neg ■ lected, and Arden recalled his rangers, J who were starting in pursuit. j Herculanean Manuscripts. Every body knows the difficulty of unrolling the herculanean manuscripts, hut I had no i dea that the labor was so tedious and un promising. If the process goes on at the same rate as at present, another eruption may bury the whole lot afresh, before the work is completed. There are few hands employed, epd only five interpreters of any ability: besides, those to whom we principally owe what has been already brought to light, are either past work or gone to the tomb. The papyri are deci phered by the aid of a lens of only very moderate power; a strong magnifier is found to render the letters more or less illegible, by bringing into view the fibres of the materials on Which they are writ ten. The subdued steady light of the shade answers best; and no lens is so good as the naked eye, when the sight is clear. It seems next to impossible that any er ror should make its way to the press, from the care that is taken with the copies.— After tiie text has been committed to pa per, and undergone a strict scrutiny by the Academia Ercolanense, it is then en graved on coppej, and carefully collated with the originals, which are kept preserv ed in frames, for future reference: the whole is then subjected to a fresh and final examination and revision by the acade my, before the last irrevocable .step of sending it to the press. The quantity of matter in each page of the originals is generaLqv equal to an octavo page of the ordinary pica type. The lines contain only about 22 letters; but to make up for the deficiency, there are commonly \Xt lines in the column. The authors put in to type do not amount to a dozen ; they are all Greek hut one, and fathered, with few exceptions, upon Epicurus and tiie eternal Philodeuius. The greater num ber of the 1300 undeveloped papyri are compacted so firmly as to render any at tempt at unrolling absolutely hopeless.— It was under an arched roof, in Herculan eum, that the least injurad manuscripts were found ; and their preservation is suppose;! to lie owing to their protection, under the vault, from either extremes of h.cat or moisture. Those are first select ed for tiie operation* of unrolling, which, after pe; using a portion of the matter, the interpreter- deems most likely to reward his pains, hut, before he can form opin ion about this, it is often necessary to continue'the examination for a good half year. In some rare instances the author’s name is alluded to early in the work, or may be inferred from the text before much labor lias been expended; hut this hap pens very seldom, as the first few columns i are almost always destroyed by the fire, land the name of the writer not discover ed until the whole of the volume is un rolled, and then they are found in a con cluding column, for the custom was to subjoin, as well as prefix, the title. It is provoking to see the process’creeping on at this snail’s pace. Why are not. some hundreds of these idle ecclesiastics put in requisition for tim ework? We are told that Ilaytcr unrolled’ forty MSS, in two years, and with the same industry the Whole collection would he. unfolded in lit tle better than half a century. Sir Hum phrey Davy despaired at arriving at a speedier process, and in his own attempts isacrificed not lower than twenty volumes; 'at last owning his belief, that no better |plan of developemcnt was ever likely to {he hit upon than that which is at present iin practice. The common opinion is that the manuscripts fiyjnd in Herculaneum ! belonged so a private collection, and that ! we may fairly hope, if the excavations be (carried on, that we shr.il one day arrive at | the treasures of a public library. It is j very gratifying to holdout such expccta ' tions, l>ut cut bona ! While the process of developemcnt goes on as at present, i our enjoyment of this treasure might he reserved for the millenium. The iincs and letters in some of the papyri h ive a regularity almost typographical, and, no doubt, were executed by professional co- Ipvists ; others are scrawled hastily in such a way as to suggest the idea of their be ing done by the author himself: a sug gestion further corroborated by _ correc tions which have every appearance of be ing the result of consideration. The persons employed in the slow, ‘sedulous, and most bilious occupation, of unfold ing these carponaceous scrawls, are mis erably remunerated. The "highest price for unrolling and engraving a column on copper, is twenty six diicate, subordinate laborers get ten ducats a month. [Sir B. Faulkner’s Tour.- Enforced Marriage and Happy Release. Sir W alter Scott used to re late the following curious anecdote : My cousin W atty, said lie, was a midshipman some forty jjears ago in a ship at Ports mouth ; he and two other companions had gone on shore, and had overstaied their leave* spent all their money, and run up an iminese hill at a tavern on the Point. The ship made the signal for sailing ; but their landlady said, “No, gentlemen, you shall not escape without paying Your reckoning ;’’ and she ac-, compainod her words by appropriate ac tions, and placed them uuder the tender keeping of a sufficient party of bailifFs. They felt that they were in a scrape, and petitioned very hard to be released. “No, no,” said Mrs Quickly, “I nuist he satis fied some way or t’other : you must he wiel! aware, gentlemen, that you will he totally ruined if you don’t got on board in time.” They made long faces, and confessed that it was too true. “Well,” said she, “I’ll give you one chance. I am so circumstanced here that I cannot carry on biv business as a single woman, and 1 must contrive somehow to have a husband—or, at all events, I must he a ble to produce a marriage certificate; and therefore, the only terms on which you shall all three have leave to go on hoard to-morrow, is, that one of you consent to marry me. I don’t care a snap 'which it is ; hut, by nil that’s holy, one of you l will have, or else all three go tojail, and your ship sails without you ?” The virago was not to be pacified, and the poor youths, left to themselves, agreed, alter a time, to draw lots, and it happened to full on my cousin. No tiiyc was lost, and off they marched to church, and my poor relative was forthwith spliced. Tim bride, on returning gave them a good sub stantial dinner, and several bottles of wine apiece, and,’having tumbled them into a wherry, sent thtm off. The ship sailed, and the young men religiously adhered to the oath of sccrcsy they had taken pre vious to drawing lots. The bride, I should have said, merely wanted to he married, and was the first to propose an eternal sep aration. Some months after, at Jamaica, a file of papers reached the midshipmen’s berth ; and Watty, who was .observed to be looking over them carlessly reading an account of a robbery and murder at Portsmouth, suddenly jumped pp in his cxstacy, forgot his obligation of secrecv, and cried out, “Thanks to Qod, uiy wife is hanged !” [From Lockharts lifewf Scott.] An Incident in Scott’s Life. I have to open the year 1814 with a melan choly story. Mention has been made, more than once, of Henry Weber, a poor German scholar, who, escaping to this country in 1804, from misfortunes in his own, excited Scott’s compassion, and was thenceforth furnished, through his means, with literary employment of various sorts. Weber was a man of considerable learn ing ; but Scott, as was his custom, ap peared to have formed arvexaggerated no tion of his capacity, and certainly coun tenanced him, to his own severe cost, in several most unfortunate undertakings. When not engaged on things of a more ariihitiofls character, he had acted for ten years as his protector’s amanuensis, and when the family were at Edinburgh, he often dined with them. There was some thing very interesting in his appearance, and manners ; he had a fair, open coun tenance, in which the honesty and enthu siasm of his nation were ailke visible; his demeauor was gentle and modest; and he had not only a stock of curious anti quarian knowledge, but the reminiscences which he detailed with amusing simplic ity, of an early life, checkered with many strange enough adventures. He was, in short, much a favorite with Scott and all iiis household ; and was invited to dine with them so frequently, chiefly because Ids friend was aware that he bad an un happy propensity to drinking, and lie was anxious to keep hiui away from places where lie might have been more likely to indulge in it. This vice, however, had been growing upon him ; and of late Scott had found it necessary to make some rather severe remonstrances about, habits which were at once injuring his health, and interrupting his literary in dustry. Tl*cy had, however, parted kindly, when Scott left Edinburgh, at Christmas, I*l3 ; and the day after his return Web er attended him as usual in his library, being employed in transcribing extracts during several hours, while ’'his friend, seated over against him, continued work ing at the life of S\\ ift. The light begin ing to fail, Scott threw himself back into his chair, and was about to ring for can dles, when he ohsefved the German's eyes fixed noon h<y> with trrrnmisuMsolemnity of expression. “Weber, (Said he.) wlnt’s the matter with.you ?” “Mr Scott, (said W eber rising) von have long insulted me, and I can hear it no longer. 1 have brought a pair of pistols with me, and must insist on your taking one of them instantly qnd with that he produced the weapons, which had been deposited under It is chair, and laid one of them on Scott’s manu script. “You are mistaken, I thiijMJsaid Scott,) in your way of settingJabmn 'this affair : but no matter. It can be no part of your object to annoy Mrs. Scott and the cmldrcn ; therefore, if you please, vve will put the pistols into the drawer till after dinner, and then arrange to go out together like gentlemen.” Weber an- Hin&BßZt 33. swered withequal coolncsjf‘l believe that will be better,” and laid the secotid pistol alsd on the table. Scott , locked‘Them both in his desk, .and said, “I am glad you felt the propriety of what 1 suggested —only let me request further may occur, while wc are atMinner,to give my wife any Suspicion of what has been passing.” Weber again assented, auA Scott withdrew to his dressing room, from which he iartnediately despatched a message to one of Weber’s [ntimate com panions and then dinner was served*,au3 Weber joined the lazily circle as usual, lie conducted himself with perfect com posure, and every thing*eemed to go on in the ordinary way, until whiskey and hot water being produced, Scott, instead of inviting his guest to help himself, mixed_ two moderate tumblers of (pddy.and han ded one of them to Weber, who, upon that,started up with a furious countenance, hiit instantly sat down again, and when .Mrs. Scott e v .[iressqd her fear that fie wr.s ill, answered placidly .that lie was liable to spasm, but the pain gone. He then ; took the glass,’'eagerly gulped down its contents, and pushed it hack, to Scott. At this moment the frjend who had been sent for made his appearance, and Weber, on seeing him enter the room, ruslic<B*past I him, and out of tiie house, without.stop : ping to put on his hat. The friend, who j pursued instantly, cannc up wfith him at i the end of the street, and did all he could |tp sootli his agitation, hut in vain. The ' same evening ho was obliged to be put in a strait wubcor.t, and though in a few days'lie exhibited snclt symptoms of re covery that he was allowed -to go by him self to pay a visit in the north of England,- he there soon relapsed, audcontinued ev er afterwards a hopeless lunatic, being supported to the end pf his life, at June, 1818, at Scott’s expense, in an isyluiu in York. Clergyman and Jockey. A clergy man, who is in the habit of preaching in different peris of the country, was not long since at an inn, where he observed .a horse jockey trying to take in a simpSle gentleman, by imposing upon him a ken-winded horse for a sound ones The parson knew the had character of th 6 jockey, and taking the gentleman aside, told him to bq cautious of the person he was dealing with. The gentleman fluidly declined the purchase, and the quite nettled, observed, “Parson, I had much rather hear you preach, than see you privately interfere in bargains be tween man and man, in this Way. ‘Well,’ replied the person, ‘if kou had been where you ought to have beSft, last Sunday, you. might have heard in e preach.’ ‘Where was that, inquired the jockey, ‘ln the State Prison,’ retorted the clergyman.' What an avaricious Creature I A lady was told the other day by a’ travel ling gentleman, that in a certain country, every lady who find a small wouth ’was provided with a husband by government. “Ith it pot hi hie,” said the lady, faking her mouth as small as she coulaT The gentleman added, “that if a lady had a large mouth, she was provided with two husbands.” “My Gracious !” exclaimed the lady, at the same time throwing her mouth open io its full extent The gen tleman became alarmed, made® is eseape i immediately, and has not since -been Heard of.
