Fortu nately I had met, in the group of fugitives, a hunter who had been under some obligations to her family, and he was easily persuaded to join me in my search. Together we now began a pursuit of the savages, lie was an adept tn for | j est warfare—could follow a trail as a bound the I 1 chase—knew tlie course which would be nio-t : likely to be chosen by a flying party of Indians, j and withal, was one of the keenest shots who ! had carried a rifle on the border. “•It’s my opinion,’ said he, - ‘that these var | mints did not belong to the regular body of In- I iliatis who followed Fuller, though even they I were bail enough.

In less than a quarter of ;an hour after first di-covering the trail, we j were Unending the forest in pursuit of the sav ! ages. “Let me hasten to the close. Hour after hour, all through the livelong due, we persiled the thing Indians—crossing swamps, clambering 1 over rocks, fording streams, and picking our | wav through the labyrinthine woods, until, to-j wards night-tall, we reached the-edge of an open | |-par-e —or as it were, a meadow, shut in bv geilllv sloping bills. | “‘lli-t,’ said my companion, ‘we are upon] | them. l*o you not se-j that thin thread of smoke j j curling upward over the top of yonder aged hem lock ?’ “ ‘Ay—it must be them—let us on.’ ‘“Sotily, or we lose till.

The savage slid approached, i j My companion laid his hand on my arm, and j ! pointed from my rifle tootle of the Indians. I j : understood him. At this juncture the advatn-| i ing savage, warned of oili presence by the crack j bug ot an u lucky twig beneath my cornpan ; ion's foot, sprang back, with a loud yell, towards , the fire. “ ‘Now,’ said my companion, sternly. ‘Quick as lightning 1 raised mv piece and fired. Mv companion did the same. The retieating savage and one of his companions fell dead on the ground: each of us then sprang to a tree, loading as we ran. It was well we did it, for in an instant the enemv was on us. Shall I de scribe that dreadful fight ? My emotions forbids it. A lew minutes decided it. Fighting from tree tot ice—dodging, loading, and en leavoring to get sight on a foe, we kept up the conflict for nearly five minutes—at the end of which ’ time I found myself wounded, while four out of ! the six savages lay prostrate on t o ground. The I oilier two, flailing their companions dead, and despairing of being ‘able to carry off their priso tier, suddenly rushed on her. and before we could j -interpose,- had seized their helpless victim. 1 1 had only been prevented, hitherto, from reseu- I ing Kate I>V the knowledge that an attempt of | the kind, while the savages were still numerical : ly superior to us, would end in the certain death I to us both,—chut now-, worlds could not have re- I strained me. tind, clubbing my rifle, for the piece • was unloaded, i dashed out from my covert, shouting to my companion— “ ‘< >n—on, in (rod’s name, on.’ “ ‘Take care of the tailor varmint,’ thundered my companion. “The warning was too late. In the tumult of my feelings i had not obseived that the savage i furthest from me had his piece loaded, and before i 1 could avail myself of mv coin..anion’s cooler : observation,'.'! received the ball in my-right arm, | and my rifle dropped powerless by my side; bad ; I not sprang involuntarily aside at my compan- I ion’s cry, I should Lave been shot through llie heart. “‘On—on,’l groaned in agony, as I seized mv tomahawk in my almost useless left hand. “ ‘Sloop,’ said my companion, ‘stoop lower;’ and as 1 .lid so, his rille cracked on the stiil air, and ‘he Indian fell dead. i “A+i this had not occupied an instant, I was now within a few feet of her I loved, who was struggling in the grasp of the other Indian, lie j had already entwined his hands in her long hair | —his tomahawk was already gleaming in the setting sun. Never shall I forget the look of de moniac Jury with which the wietch glared on his victim. A second only was left for hope.— ! M v companion was far behind, with his rifle un- j loaded. I made a desperate spring forward, and hurled my tomahawk at the savage’s head, (rod i of my lathers! the weapon wh'zzed harmlessly by the wretch, and buried itself, quivering, in the trunk of a neighboring tree.

I subsequently heard his sad tale fiom others, and then learned the manner in w hich Kate had been carried ofl'.

Why Southern People Should Sustain the | American Party. The filiTnlter of emigrants who settle in the | S ,h' h. iii States i” iin-"ti'idi-r.-il'!e as eompat. i! ‘ with tin; thousands who east their hits in tin ‘ Northern. Why then should the Southern pen- j pie sustain the American party, one of whose , objects is to arrest the tide of iimnigr.J ion now pouring upon our shores front the < *il ; World ? The following answer by the Louisville Jour nal is to the point, and we commend it to the serious consideration of the people of (ieorgia. j “These people come here almost invariably prejudiced against the institution of slavery. It ! is-well knew ii that t hey hmara great antipathy : to settling in any slave-hoi.liltgstates. W e tind considerable bodies of them in some of our lar- gest southern cities, but. very few in theagricul tuial districts of the South. Arriving in tlii coimtrv. already imbued with strong anti slavery prejudices, they settle almost exclusively in the! freesoil states and readily become amalgamated with the abolition faction, giving to it annualK an immense increase < f numerical strength. “We have not now at hand the data fiom which to make the calculation, but wo have to. doubt that to this foreign element alone in.-iy I e attributed the gain, by the last apportionment, of eight members of ('.ingress for the North over i i the South. It has also been remarked, asanev- 1 | idence of the free soil proclivity of this -lass ol .

We 1 know that to democrats this exclusion of foreign-1 ers lias appeared the most, objectionable feature i in the Ainoriean creed; but we believe that there ] is notone among them who does not love his| country; we accord to them a desire to preserve ] the Union mil protect its institutions, and we do imt-Uuuk-lhifl. any owe-of them, unless utterly j blinded and restrained from expressing bis real | convictions l y being the recipient, of the patron- ] age of the incumbent executive, after a calm, candid and unprejudiced consideration of this ‘ subject, will deny that there is danger to the South, danger to the Union, and to our much- ] loved constitutional freedom, from this foreign party. “We call upon them then as good citizens, ax 1 Union loving men, as tine p.atri.its, to join tliej American party, and aid it with their example | and their influence in endeavoring to arrest this j great impending, danger, and ere it be too late! to. rescue the constitution and the Union from ] the fearful peril with which it is evidently threat- j eneil.” Let the people of Georgia ponder well the sug- j gesti.jiis’heie made. It may he hard for one to j sunder old political ties, Iml when the safety of the country demands it, he should be equal to the sacrifice.

Now, sir, I know that your i. genuity is truly remarkable, hut if you will reconcile the statements in these parallel columns, and thus show that “what you said in Augusta was strictly ! true,” I think you will achieve tor yourself anew reputation, which wiil he what you already enjoy, i , as “another morn, risen on midnoon ” But if you fnl to reconcile them, you must not think that your reputation for accuracy,on which alone you seem to rely, will sustain you. An in telligent people wiil take tlie mere soy tut of no man, when it H.nly denies such a record as is above adduced If religious toleration was “established' 1 in Ma ryland, it must have been done by law. The] . mere ipse dixit,of those who professing to write . history, interlard their statements of fact with in* i ferences and notions talsely deduced from them, will not do. The highest evidence that the na j ture of the case will admit of. is the only evidence that the court of public opinion will receive. .No thing but the document which estahlioed religious freedom in Maryland under Ixird Baltimore, will meet the demand rightfully made upon you Editor tad Proprietor.

The Ks))vv Notiiinus in Georgia.—The Statu Council of this organization has recently held a meeting in Macon. By tlie by, the party ia that j .-state lias made an excellent preliminary more— it has dropped the senseless und ridiculous appel lation of Know Nothings, and adopted the signifi cant, generic cognomen of‘The American Party.’ The substitution ot'a meaning and decent designa tion in place of a puerile and affectedly mystic term of distinction, to lie applied to a party re . spevtable in nunib.-rx and in tlie elements of its ('imposition, will he admitted by all to be a deci ded improvement. “Words are things,’’and never j more no toim when used to designate political par- I ties; and we, with all due defurance. submit, that I as tin- new party lias already acquired age strength at..l iuil'. uce. it should incontinently drop the slang nick name of “Sain,” or its absurd baptis mal appellative of Know Nothing, which, in itsi early infancy might have liecn appropriate enough, and assume one characteristic of its origin, char acter and prospects.
