I had gone out partly for the ben efit of my health, and partly to accommo date one who had been a noble friend to me, and one who had purchased a great deal of Government land. At Logansport, he was taken sick, end after watching him u week, in hopes that he would soon re* cover, I found that he had a nettled fever, and as the physician said that he would not be able to move in a month, I determined to move on alone. So I obtained a good nurse, and having 9een that my friend would have everything necessary to his comfort that money could procure, 1 lett him. Aa good luck would have it, I found a party of six men bound on the very route I *was going, and I waited one day for the sake of their company. At length we set out, with three pack horses to carry our luggage, and I soon found that I had lost nothing by waiting, for my companions were agreeable and entertaining. On the third day from Logansport, we reached Walton’s settlement, on the Little River, having left the Wabash on the morn ing of that day. • About 10 o’clock, just after I had retired, and just aa I was falling into a grateful drowse, I was startled by the shouts of men and the barking of dogs, directly under my window. As the noise continued, I arose and threw on my clothe3, and went down. *«Ah—don't you know the trouble ?” the host returned. “Tou’ve heard of Gus. Karl, perhaps . Who in the We3t at that time had not heard of him ? the most reckless, daring and murderous robber that ever cursed a country. I told the host I had heard of him often. . .... “Well,” he resumed, “the infernal villian was here only this afternoon, and murdered and robbed a man just up the river. We’ve been out after him, but he’s gin us the slip. We tracked him as far as the upper creek, and there he oame out on the bank, fired at us, and killed one of our horses, and then drove into the woods. We set the dogs on, but they lost him.” “What sort of a man is he ?” I asked. “The very last man in the world you would take for Gus. Karl. He’s small, not a bit over five feet six ; with light curly hair, a smooth white face, and not very stout. But, Lord love ye, he’a quick as lightning, and his eye’s got fire in it. He dresses in all sorts of shapes, but generally like a common hunter. Oh! he’s the very devil, I do believe.” After the tub full of whiskey, which the host provided, was all drank, the crowd be gan to disperse, and shortly afterwards, I went up again to bed; and this time I slept on, undisturbed, until morning. I had just eaten my breakfast, and had gone out to the door, when a horseman came dashing up to the place, himself and his animal evoered with mud. The first thing the new comer said was to inquire for me. I answered at once to the name—and he then informed me that Lyman Kemp could not live, and that he wished to see me as soon as possible. “The doctor says he must die," said the messenger, “and the poor fellow only asks to live long enough to see you.” “Poor Lyman 1" I murmured to myself.— ‘So young—so hopeful—with so many friends and fond relatives in hi3far off home and taken down to die in a strange land.’ I told the man I would set out on my return as soon as possible. He ate some breakfast and then resumed his jouraey, being bound up as tar as the Pot&wattomie border. 1 settled up my bill, and then went for my horse; but a bitter disappointment awaited me. 1 fouud the animal’s foot swollen very badly, and it pained him so that he could not step on it. Had the road been good, I should have been tempted to try him; but I knew that in some places the mud wou’d be deep. I went to the host, and asked him if he could lend or sell me a horse. He could do neither. His only horse had been shot the night before by the Wabash robber. There was not a horse in the place to be obtained, for any amount of money. I returned to the stable, bqS led my horse out, but he could not walk with any degree of easo. I could not use him. I was in despair. ‘Look,’ said mine host, as I began to de spond, ‘can’t ye manage a canoe?' ‘Yes—very well,’ I told him. ‘Then thai’s your best way. The current is strong this morning, and without a stroke of the paddle, ’twould take you along as fast a9 a horse could wade through the mud.— You shall have oae of my canoes, for just what it is worth, and ye can Bolivia Lo- gar sport for as much.’ ‘It ye darn’t shoot the rapid9,’ added the landlord, ‘ye can easily shoulder the canoe and pack it round. ’Tisnt far.’ I ound the boat to be a well-tiBhioned ‘dug-out,’ big enough to bear four men with ease, and I at once paid the owner his price —ten dollars—and then had my baggage brought down. I made arrangements about E=.ori,rt”.^rproi v “Goo* ■» ptawajS-s The current was quite rapid, say four or five mile9 an hour, but not turbulent—and 1 soon made up my mind that it was far better than to ride on horseback. The banks of the river were densely covered with large trees 1 , and I saw game plenty; and more than once I was tempted to fire the contents of my pistol at some of the bolder ‘varmints;’ but I had no time to waste, so 1 kept on. Only one thing ^eemed wanting, and that was a carnpanion; but I was destined to find one soofenough. It was short !y after noon, and I had just eaten my dinner of bread and cold meat, when I came to a place where the river made an abrupt bend to the right, and, a little further, I came to an abrupt basin, where the current formed a perfect whirl pool. I did not notice it, until my canoe got into it, and I found myself goiog round instead of ahead. I plied my wood paddle with all my power, and soon succeeded in shooting out of the rotary current ; but in doiDg so, I ran on the low sandy shore. The effort had fatigued me not a little, and as I found myself thus suddenly moored, I resolved to rest a few minutes. I had been in this position some ten*min utes, when I was startled by hearing a foot fall close by me, and looking up saw a man at the side of my boat. He was a young looking person, not over two and twenty, and seemed to be a hunter. He wore a wolf skin shirt, leggings of red leather, and s’eap ot bear skin. £.*Which way ye bound stranger?’ he asked in a pleasing tone. ‘Down the river to Logansport,’ I re plied. _ - ‘That’s fortunate. I wish to go there my self,’ the stranger resumed. ‘What say you to my taking your second paddle, and keep ing you company?’ •I should like it,’ I told him frankly, ‘I l ve been wanting company.’ ‘So have I, added the hunter; ‘and I’ve been wanting fome better mode of convey ance than these worn-out lefk through the deep forest’ ‘Come on,’ I said, and as I spoke he leap ed into the canoe, and hiving deoosited his rifle in the bow, he too* one ot the paddles, and told me he was ready when I was. So we poshed off, and we were^soon clear of the whirlpool. For an hour we conversed freely. * he stranger had told me his name was Adams, and that his father lived in Columbus. He was out now on a mere hunting and pros pect expedition, with some companions who had gone to Logansport by horse, and hav ing got separated from them in the night, ( That was to stop my mouth with I Every nerve in my body was strung, and my heart stood 'still as death. Of course my snoring ceased; and that instant the huge knife was raised above my bosom. Qn.ck as thought I brought my piBtol up—the muzzle was within a foot of the robber’s heart—he ut tered a quick cry—I saw the bright blade quiver in the moonlight, but it came not upon me. I polled the trigger and the last fear was past. I had thought that the weapon might miss fire, but it did not. There was a sharp re- had lost his horse in the bargain. He said\ port, and I sprang up and backed; 1 heard he had a great sum of money about his per son, and that was the reason why he dis liked to travel in the forest. Thus he opened his affairs to me, and I was fool enough to be equally trank. I ad mitted that 1 had some money, and told him my business; and by a quiet and unpre- suming course of remarks, he drew from me that I had money enough to purchase forty foil lots. Finally, the conversation lagged, and I began to give my companion a closer scru tiny. I sat m the stern of the canoe, and he was about midship, and facing me. His hair was of a flaxen hue, and hung in long curls upon his neck; his features were reg ular and handsome, and his complexion light; bnt the color of his face was not what one would call fair—it was a cold, bloodless color, like pale marble. And for the first time, too, I now looked particularly at his eyes. They were gray in color, and had the brilliancy of glaring ice. The light was intense, but cold and glittering like a snake. When I thought of his age, I sat him down for not much over thirty. Suddenly, a sharp, cold shudder ran thro my frame, and my heart leaped with a wild thrill. At any rate—1 knew it—there could be no doubt—I had taken into my canoe and into my confidence, Gustos Karl, the Wabash robber! For a few moments, I feared my emotion would betray me. I looked carefully over his person again, and I knew I was not mistaken. I could look back new, and see how cunningly he had ltd me on to a confession of my circum stances ; how he had made me tell my af fairs and reveal the estate of my finances.— What a fool I had been 1 But it was too late to think of ihe past—I had enough to do to look out for what was evidently to follow. I at length managed to overcome all my outward emotions, and then I began to watch my companion more sharply and closely. My pistols were both handy, and 1 knew they were in order, for I examined them both in the morning, when I thought offiriBg at some game. They were in the breast pockets of my coat, which pockets had been made on purpose for them,' and I could reach them at auy instant. Another hour passed away, and by that time become assured that the robber would, no attempt upon me until alter night He said it would be convenient, that we were both together, for we couid run all night, as one could steer the cauoe while the other slept. “Aye,” I added with a smile, “that is good for me, lor every hour is valuable I would not miss meeting my friend for worlds." “Ob! you’ll meet him, never fear,” said my companion. Ah, be spoke then with too much mean ing. I understood it well. I knew what that sly tone and strange gleaming of the eye meant. He meant that he would put me on the road to meet poor Kemp in the other world ! I wondered only now, that I had not detected the robber when I first saw him, for the expression of his face was so heartless, so icy—and then his eyes had such a wicked look, that the most unprac ticed physiognomist could not have foiled to detect the villain at once. During the rest of the afternoon, we con versed some, but not so freely as before. I could see that the villain’s eyes were not so frankly bent on me as he spoke, and then he seemed to avoid my direct glances. These movements on his part were not studied, not even intentional; but they were intuitive, as though his very nature led him thus. At length, night came on. We ate our suppers and then smoked our pipes—and finally my companion proposed that I should sleep before he did. At first I thought of objecting; but a few moment’-s reflection told me that I had better behave as though h® was an honest man; so I agreed to his proposition. He took my seat at the stern, and I moved further for ward, and having removed the thwart upon which my companion had been sitting, I spread my cloak in the bottom of the canoe, and then having placed my valise tor a pillow, I lay down. As soon as possible, I drew out one of my pistols, and under cover of a cough, I cocked it. Then I moved my body so that my right arm would be at liberty, and grasped my weapon firmly, with my finger upon the guard. I drew up my mantle, slouched my bat, and then settled down for my watch. Fortunately for me, the moon was up, and though the forest trees threw a shadow upon me, yet the beams fell upon Karl, and I could see his every movement. We were well into ibe Wabash, having entered it at three o’clock. ' “You will call me at midnight,” I said drowsily. “Yes,” he returned. “Good night.” ru have you further on your way than you think, ere you wake up again.” “Perhaps so,” thought I to myself, as I lowered my head, and pretended to lower myself to sleep. For half an hour my companion steered the canoe very well and seemed to take but little notice orime—but at the : ehd of that time I could see that he became more un easy. I commenced to snore with a regu larly drawn breath, and on the instant the * villain started as starts the hunter when he bears the tread of game in the woods. But hark I Aha—there was before one lingering fear in my mind, that I might shoot the wrong man, but it was gone now. As the fellow stopped the motion of thq; paddle, I distinctly heard him say: -“Oh, my little sheep—you little dreamed that Gua, Karl was your companion; but he’ll do you a good turn. If your friend is dead, you shall follow him, and I'll take your traps to pay your way to Heaven 1” I think these were the Very words. At any rate they were similar. As he thus spoke, be noiselessly drew in the paddle, and then rose to his feet. I saw him reach over his left shoulder, and when he brought back his hand, he had a huge .bowle knife in it; I could see the blade gleam in the pale moonlight, and I saw Karl run his thumb aloDg the edge, and then feel the point l My heart beat fearfully, and my breathing was hard. It was with the ut most evertion that I controlled my snoring, but I managed to do it without interrup tion. blowly and noiselessly the foul wretch approached me; and so catlike was his step, that it would not have awakend a hound— and his long gleaming-knife was half raised. I could hear his breathing plainly,. and I could hear the grating of his teeth, aa he nerved himself ior the Btroke. The villian was by my side, and he mea sured the distance from his hand to my a fierce yell, and the robber fell forward, his head striking my knee aa it came down. Weak and faint, 1 sank back, but a sud den tipping of the canoe brought me to my senses, and I went aft and took the paddle. As soon as the boats head was once more right, I turned my eyes upon the form in the bottom of the canoe, and I saw it quiver—only a spasmodic movement —and then all was still. All that night I sat at my watch and steered my little bark. I had my second pistol ready, for I knew not that the wretch was dead. He might be waiting to catch me off my guard, and then shoot me. But the night passed slowly and drearily away, and when the morning broke, the form had not moved. Then I stepped for ward and found that Gustus Karl was dead. He had fallen with his knife true to its aim, for it had struck very near the spot where my heart mu3t have been, and the point was driven so far into the soiid wood that I bad to work hard to pull it out, aud harder still to unclasp the marble fingers that were closed with the dying madness about the handle! Swift want the tide, and ere the sun went again to rest, I reached Logansport. The authorities knew the face of Gustus Karl at once, and when I told mv story, they poured out a thousand thanks upon my head. A purse was raised, aud the of fered reward put with it and tendered to me. I look the simple reward from the generous citizens, while the remainder I directed should be distributed among those wbo bad suffered most from the Wabash robber’s depredations. I found Kemp sick and miserable. He was buroiDg with a fever, and the doctors had shut him up in a room, where a well man must have suffocated. “Water 1 water 1 In God’s uaoie, give me water,” he gasped. “Haven’tyou any?’ 4 I asked. He told me “no.” I Hhrew open the wiu- dow, sent for a pail of fresh water, and was on the point ol administering it, when the doctor came in. He held up hs hands in horror, and told me teat it would kill the sick man. But I forced him back and Kemp drank the grateful beverage. He drank freely and then slept. The per pi ration flowed from him like rain, and when he awoke his skin was moist and his fever was turned. In eight days from that time he sat in his saddle by my side, and together we started for Little River. At Walton’s Settlement I found my horse wholly recovered, and when I offered to pay for his. keeping, the host would take nothing. The story of my ad venture on the river had already reached there ahead of me, and this was the land lord's gratitude. lag up the corn in ninety days ijt has been at work four years, and has done as much mischief to friend as foe. The “short, sharp and decisive” has proved the longest, dullest and most indecisive of modern combats. It is only the war upon the exchequer of Uncle Sam that has been conducted with promptitude and vigor. It is doubtful whether the United States might not have sank all its ships, bnrntup all its manufac tories, and levelled to the earth all its com mercial cities; with a better hope of ultimate and complete recuperation than by the use it has made of its destructive energies in be ginning i his war. It also discusses a variety of other subjects. The Examiner remarks that the terrible draft still hangs over the North. Every thing has been dene to avert it. Volunteers were entreated to come forward but only for form’s sake—they would never see an enemy, or fire a gun; the ‘rebellion’ whs already as good as crushed and finished; a parade of a few weeks; a kind of pic nic party in camp, was all they were asked to encounter. But it was all in vain; and now, just when all New York wss prepir- irg to break out in a grand national jubilee of thanksgiving for victory, cames an official letter from the Adjutant General that, ‘unless recruiting is increased, and men put into the service more rapidly, the draft will be commenced.’ In New York and Brook lyn, the volunteering, notwithstanding the immense bounties, amounted to almost nothin?. The Examiner concludes from all these circumstances that the present Fede ral armies are the last they can raise, for at such a rate of recruiting they can by no means supply the waste which takes place in Grant’s and Sherman’s army by disease and battle. We have but to dispose of the troops now in our Iront, and the peril is over. A DVERTI8EM ENT8. LOOK AT TBI§. I HAVE been In the practice of Medicine foi several years.

The Richmond Courier of the 9 th inst., gives the following as the “spirit of the morning press” of the capital, on the day stated: The Sentinel has conversed with a num ber of our citizens who have recently re turned from tne United States, and they all unite in the sentiment that we must stand on our defenses for our lives, and with all our resources and energies. With one voice they declare that it is folly, it is madness, it is treason, to wrangle among ourselves, or to indulge a sentiment? opposed to the most solid concord and the most resolute energy. Nothing so much astonishes and provokes them, as any indication which they find of dissension or of lassitude among our people. With erne voice, too, they declare that the law for putting negroes into the army should be immediately passed. They insist upon this wtth grew emphasis, and they testify that the moral effect would be more impor tant even than the material support. The new levy the Yankees are now making will not avail to overwhelm us. We will surely win the fight if we do oUr duty. None are more confident of this than those wad have had opportunity of observing things at the North. None are more enthusiastic, none more buoyant with courage ana hope. The Yankees offer bounties of fifteen hundred and two thousand dollars for twelve months volunteers, coupled with the assurance that the fight is nearly over, and its heavy work at an end. . " - The Whig says the uneasiness of the Yan kee 'papers about Sherman is growing great er day by day. They have heard nothing de finite from him since heileft Columbia, only surmised that, a few days afterwards, he had reached Winnsboro*, whence he would march on Charlotte, whence on Greensboro, whence on .Danville, whence on Richmond, to assist Grant in finishing up the little piece of business which ha9 now been on his hands lor ten months. All this was to be a holiday work for the invincible and in superable Sherman. His march was to be only a series of field parades from the Sa vannah to the James, wifh the Confederate people for immediate spectators. The Herald now thinks it would be a great triumph for Sherman to march off to ;he sea without a battle; and ail of them appear to concede that the great plan for catching Lee’s army and -taj^ing Richmond is a fiasco. Sherman has perhaps found one or more lions on his oath. Who knows; not the Yankees; and tha Whig does not intend to enlighten them until information wbfeh they will not like to hear can be given them. The Enquirer publishes a stirring, pertin ent letter from the ‘trenches’ over the signa ture V f ‘Brigade,’ and in the course of its comments thereon admits that there is a party of‘whipped seceders’ in and about Richmond, that there was a plan on foot to force Mr. Davis to resign, and that Mr. Ste ens had consented to resigD, so that Mr. unter,t.B President of the Senate, would become President. The plan has, it is hoped and believed, miscarried. It says the Congress has utterly failed—it is iucom patent and doing much injury—it has neither capacity nor courage—it is unfit for revolution. The very men who were the foremost to secede are the first to surrender. A single head and a single arm is now need ed, and if the Congress would consult its patriotism, it would entrust ail power with the President and Gen. Lee, adjourn and go home and,leave the country and its cause in the hands of those two men. The Presi dent has exhibited a firm, calm, resolute purpose, unsubdued by disaster and unalter able in the determination to secure the lib erty and independence of his country. Gen. Lee! his very port and mein would laugh to scorn the cowardly suggestions of sur render. Upon these two men the country relies—her armies have resolved her liberty to secure, and the people will support and maintain them. The country no longer looks to Congress f r aid in the struggle.
