DANGEROUS ENCOUNTER WITH ELEPHANTS IN SOUTH AFRICA. By Lieut. J. D. Moody, of the 21st fusilcera. “Tn the year 1821, I ha*! joined the recently formed semi-militarv settlement of Fredericks burg. on the picturesque banks of the Gualana, beyond the great Fish river." At this place our party (consisting chiefly of the disbanded offi ccrs and soldiers of the R' y^l African corps,) had already shot many elephants, with which the country at that time abounded. The day previous to mv adventure, I had witnessed an elephant hunt for the first lime. On this oc casion a large female was killed, after some hundred shots had been fired at her. The balls seemed at first to produce little effect, but at length she received several shots in the trunk and eyes., which entirely disabled her from making resistance or escaping, and she fell an easy prey to her assailants. “On the following dav one of our servants sure cf his destruction, and, kneeling Jowd, crushed and kneaded the body with his tore leg?. Then seizing it again with his trunk, be carried it to the edge of the jungle and threw it among the bushes. While this tnjgedy w r as going on, my brother and I scrambled down i be bank as tar as we could, and fired at the fu rious animal, hut ne were at too great a dis tance to be of any service to the uuforlunate man, who was crushed almost to a jelly. “Shortly after this catastrophe, a shot from one of the people broke this male elephant’s left fore leg, which complete ly disabled him from running. On this occasion wo witnessed a touching instance of affection and sagacity iu tiie elephant, which l cannot forbear to relate, as it so well illustrates the character of this noble animal. Seeing the danger and distress of her mate, the female before mentioned, (my his gratitude for the solicitude so generally manifested in their welfare, and earne>tly begged a continued remembrance in the prayers of God’s people. The address was peculiarly impressive. It was followed Ly prayer from the Rev. Augustus Bolles ol Hart ford. The clock having struck nine, Rev G. F. Davis, Pastor of the Baptist Church, aro.-e and said, the time is far spent; hut this is a special occasion, and as Paul, “when r< ady to depart on the morrow" continued his speech until midnight, I think w« shall 1*0 justified at the present time if we encroach a little on the hours of sleep I feel it, said he, in my heart to say a few words to each of the friends » ho are about to leave us. He first addressed Mr. Jones, briefly reminding him of his duties, rc- sponsibiiiiies, and encouragements, and con- cludeing with fervent wishes that in the Pur est mo to inform us that a large troop ofele-jwhen he attempted to walk she placed her phants was in the neighborhood of the scttJe- perscnal antagonist,) regardless of her own man Zavala and by the ways he might teach danger, quitted her shelter in the bush, rushed'idolaters the knowledge of the true God, determined to know nothing among them,'’ as the foundation of their hope as tfie source of their consolation, and as the ?prtr,g of their obedience, “Save Jesus Christ and h.m ci uci- out lo his assistance, walked round and round him, chasing away the assailants, and still re turning to his side arid caressing him; and ment, anti that several of our people were al rcadv ->n their way to attack (hem.

Immediately a large female accompanied by three others of a smaller s'Z^ issued from the edge of the jungle which skirted the river mar gin. As they wore not more than two hund red yards off, and were proceeding directly to ward me, I had not much time to decide on my motions. “Being alone, and in the middle of a little open plain. I saw that 1 must inevitably be caught, should I fire in this position, and my shot not take effect. I therefore retreated hastily out of their direct path, thinking they would n^t observe me, until I should find a hotter opportunity to attack them. But iu this I was mistaken, for on looking back I perceiv ed to my dismay, that they bad left their for mer course, and were rapidly pursuing and gaining ground on me. Under these circum stances I determined to reserve my fire as a last resource, and turning eff at right angles in the opposite direction, I made for the banks of the small river. With a view to take refuge a- mong the rocks on the other side, where I should have heen safe.

The courtiers were compelled to inform their master lhat his San- lanic was vis-a-vis to his Britanic Majesty.— The King happily relie veil them from their em barrassment, by remarking, that, ‘they ought to have made the Duke ot Wellington face the enemy ”—lb. ctrtiiininq; lhe voice of the People on tlii3 all iuipoilanl and interesting subject— He it the> ej'o, e resolned, That all the voters of Georgia ivfig IVcl lor the interest anil prosperity of the State, and who wish to reduce the number of the members < f the General Assembly of Georgia, be required on the first Monday in October next, to say, on their ticket, if in fa vor of’a reduction—“REDUCTION”—if against it, •NO REDUCTION.” 0 r., , rp iy i t 171 £ -« f? : XL?

Mr Davis then addressed Miss Grew in substance as follows; My dear sister,—You are noiv to be dismissed from my pastoral care, and the watcblull care of ibes-j your brethren and sisters in covenant relation. We expect at the next church meeting to be called to dismiss you to the Baptist Church in Maulmein or Tavoy. But wo shall not di." miss you from our fellowship; we shall nut dismiss you from our solicitude and sympa thies; we shall not dismiss you from remem brance in our prayers. Go then, dear sister, with this preacher of “the kingdom of God” lo Burmah^ distant and pagan shores; and by your prayers, sympathies and counsels, a d him m the great enterprise to which your lives are now ^both devoted. You will find pat terns worthy of your imitation in those holy women whose lives are recorded on the pages of inspiration, and you will find a more recent example of devotion, sell*denial and tod, an ex ample of what a female missionary should be, in thelife of her who now sleeps beneath the hope tree! Like her may you aid him who is to “preach the kingdom of God;” like her may you impart the knowledge of salvation to be nighted Burman children and youth; and hke her ultimately finish your course with triumph and joy. As an encouragement in view ol the labors before you, let me sav, in behail'of my self and this Church, wve will remember you in the closet, and in the futuie meetings of the Church, as well as in the monthly concert. Though ivt* love you, \?c esfurm it a privilege to yield you op as an offering lo this precious cause. Though the p,.m of separation from an endeared home, a lov ed country, and many christain privileges bo great, yet remember the words of Jesu-, “Every one that hath forsaken houses, or or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or country, for my name sake, shall receive a hundred fold, and shall inherit everlasting life.” Cheerfully go fluff), and the Lord be with yoc-; and alter a lilo ol toil in the service of vocr master, may you meet your Christian friends in Heaven, where the redeemed of every na tion shall meet to part no more, and with them sing the rapturous and unceasing song. .Wor thy is (he Lamb that was slain for us.” Du ring this part of the service, (he audience were very deeply affected. The Rev. Henry Grciv followed in an appropriate address, in which he again expressed his entire w illing- ness to give up his dear child to the cause of God, and entreated the prayers r,f the friends ofthat cause for himself and all his family. At the close of his remarks which were consid erably extended, he engaged in prayer. A part of hymn 106, in the Young Christian’s Com panion being linos written by the late lamented Baldwin, on the sailing of Messrs. Wheelock and Coleman for India, from Boston, Nov. 16, 1817, commencing with the third verse, “Go ye heralds of salvation,” &c. was then sung and one the most interesting seasons which we ever recollect *to have enjoyed, was closed by the prayer and benediction of the pastor.— Some time, even alter the close of the meeting, was spent in the parting salutations of endear ed friends who exprcted never to meet again on edrth, and, at a late hour, the congregation dispersed Early on Wednesday morning, at the dwelling house of Rev Henry Grew^our friends were married. The marriage ceremo nies was performed in a very appropriate man ner by Mr. Grew, the father of the young lady. Prayers were also offered by Rev Jml Haws, Poastor of the Centre Congregnt renal Church ot this city, and by the Rev. G. F Da vis, pastor of the Baptist Church. The following original Hymn was sung. MARRIAGE HYMN, BY FI. G.—S. M, • TUNE,—SHRLAKD. Connubial joys on earth, By God to man are given; To dissipate the cloud of woe, And cheer his path to Heaven. I? We praise thy Holy name, Fountain of bliss and love; 0 crown this marriage with thy grace, O seal it fromabove. ’Mid toil in Burmah*k!aod, To exalt the Saviour’s name; May sacred friendship pure and bright, Burn with undying flame. And when thy feitis o'er, And ours shall also cease; May we,-with ransom'd Burman souls, Meet in the realms of peace- It was truly a feligious wedding. After the ceremony and prayers, the invited guests as sembled Uround the breakfast table, and the f d my gun, and aimed at the head of the lar gest, the female. But the gun ( unfortunately, from the powder being damp hung fire, till 1 was in the act of taking it from my shoulder, when it went off and the ball merely grazed the side of her bead. “Halting 1 onlv for an instant, the animal again rushed furiously forward. I fell—1 cannot say whether struck down by her trunk or not.— She then made a thrust at me with her tusk. Luckily for me she had only one, which, still more luckily, missed its mark. She then caught me With her trunk by the middle— threw me hence*h her fore feet, anti knocked me about them for a little space: I was scarce ly in a condition to compute the number of minutes very accurately. Once she pressed her foot on n.y chest with such force, that 1 actually felt the bones, as it were, bending un der the weight; and once she trod on the mid die of my arm, which, fortunately, lay flat on the ground at the time. During this rough hand ling, however, I never entirely lost mv recol lection, else 1 have little doubt she would have settled my accounts with this world. But ow ing to the roundness ot her foot, I generally managed, by twisting my body and limbs, to escape her direct tread While I was still un dergoing this buffet tiner, Chisolm, of the R A. corps, and Diederik, a Hottentot, had come up, and fired several shots at her, one of which hit her in the shoulder; and al the same timelier companions or young ones retiring, and scream ing to her from the edge of the forest, she re luctantly left me. giving me a cuff or two with her hind feet in passing.

Missionary to Burmah, was married to Miss Eliza C. Grew; and they departed from Boston, the place of their embarkation for Burmah. What is begun in prayer, it may be hoped will end in praise. The period of final departure was preceded by several seasons of special prayer. On Monday P. M. at 3 o’clock, the sisters of the Baptist Church, held a prayar meeting at Brother Edward Boiles’s. The Rev. Mr. Jones read 72d Psalm, opened the meeting with prayer &thcn retired.-A large number of females devoted an hour or two to prayer and supplication, commending their friends to the protection and mercy of God. flhter Grew, among others, lead the devotions of the occa sion.—'fiie season is said to have been refresh ing. In the evening nother prayer meeting was was holdcn at the Rev. Henry Grew’s dwell ing house.—Prayers were offered by the Rev. Messrs Gustavus F. Davis. Samuel Spring, Joel Haws, and Augustus Bolles. Several appropriate hymns were sung from the Village collection, a tut the35tli chapter of Isaiah was read. Mr. Grew, father of the young Lady, towards the conclusion of the me-ting arose, and expressed his gratitude to God for ike grace, honor, and privilege conferred upon him and his family. He said nearly all of them had hope iu the mercy of God; now one of them was called to “go hence among the Gen tiles” Two texls had recently occupied his mind. ‘’Ye are not your own”—and “God loveth the cheerful giver.” He had rath er give his daughter to this object and know that she was doing some good in the cause of Christ, than that she should be queen of the world. Many of his remarks were deeply af focting. Mr. Jones also m-tde some few but pertinent observations. Ou the Tuesday P M. the Baptist and Congregational sisters, had a united prayer meeting at the house of Mrs Lee. This was also opened by Mr. Jones, and is spoken of as a meet ing of intense interest.— in the evening a general prayer meeting was holdenin the Baptist Vestry, and was fully at tended. The Rev. John Cookson of Middle town, made the introductory prayer. After the singing of an appropriate hymn from Win- cheii’s supplement, the throne of grace was againaddressed by the Rev. Mr. Coles, Minis ter of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Hartford. Mr. Jones now addressed the Mec ling and in behalf of himself and intended companion, gave a brief account of the mo tives which influenced them to embark in the Missionary cause, the trials they had to en counter &. to anticipate, and the hopes, found ed on the unfailing promises of Jehovah, by which they were cheered. He also expressed
