I told them it was very easy; that when the lions came to me I waited for them, and when they did not, I went to them. They replied, that in that case the lions at Guelma were good-natured. I aought the opportunity to join in a hunt, and give the incredulous natives a proof that the Frenchmen were better hunters than Arabs could ever hope to be. The task wonld be an easy one here, as I would have a comparative ly open couutry, and daylight in which to ac complish that which I had often done in the dark forest, and so I sent for my arms that I had left at Constantine, and went down to pay a visit to thejZinouls that inhabit the country around Mount Zerazer, a place constantly fre quented by lions. For some days after my arrival, a drizzling rain obscured the moun tains, and I remained in my tent, occupied with the duties of the government that had brought me from Constantine. On the first of February, two fractions of the tribe Seguia came in to join the chase that was to take place ou the morrow. I directed them to detail men enough to hunt the woods through with the early light, ami whenever they should find that the lion was marked down, they should give a signal by lighting a fire to serve as a rallying point The remainder of the day I spent iu going over the mountain, so as to hare a perfect knowledge of the country. I found the hills to be long and precipitous, with the eastern side falling abruptly ofiT, and the western cut up with gullies and copse-wood. The next day,was clear, and a tropical sun as it rose, glinted on a broad sheet of snow that had robed the hills ou yesterday. At three o'clock in the morning the village was awake for the foray, the simple breakfast had teen eaten, and the men of the tribe were scouring their arms, or girding up their loins for the Dogs barked, cattle lowed, the wo- jMintain itirs. climb tlie liill towards the lions lair 1 combat. _ f ail hurrahs.

Each tribe was to detail two men to follow the ridges, to regulate the progress of the hunt, and some sentinels to communicate with me, and the whole of the force was to march towards the south, making a great noise, but firing no gun.

She looked over her shoujder, and then dashed down, and passing within ten feet of the place where I stood without noticing me, was immediately lost to sight. 1 looked the way she came, to see the meamug of her flight, aud heard the rolling of stones and heavy steps on the other side of the ridge, and at once recognized the step of a lum that had been separated from his companions, and was coming directly towards me. I was con cealed behind a little bush by the same moun tain path the gazelle had followed, and I expect ed he would come out close by me. ime waitiug with my gun to my shoulder for his appearance, a loud scream came to urn from behind, and turning round. I saw the lion had passed me out of sight, and was stand- mg at the foot of the rock, gazing up at my two nrmor-bearers, who were in the anticipa- tion of immediate death. The distance was about forty paces, and I fired without hesitation, aiming for the shoul der. Tlie lion fell at the report of my gun, but immediately regained his feet, when anoth er ball struck him iu the side.. He gave one roar that threw tho two Arabs into convulsions of fear, and then sprang over a sheer precipice of fifty feet in height with a single bound, and the dark ravine below received his last strug- 8 The Ouled Sassi had reached the ridge over looking the plateau, at the moment I fired roy first shot, and had seen the lion make his grand leap into the Hades below.

She gave an anxious glance over the shoulder, and then showed me her teeth, hissing like a cat, and tossing her bead. I took aim at her shoul der, and fired. With the explosion of the gun, she doubled np like a snake, and then, with all her strength, bounded at me, but before she could make a second leap, my remaining ball struck her in the neck, and she fell dead. The Arabs came running from every side at my double shot, and when they saw the dead lioness at my feet, they knelt one by one, to kiss the hand which bad given them a lesson never to be forgotten. , In January. 1850, I was summoned by the same people to come to tbeir help against the mighty—as two lions bad emigrated from Aurcs, and since their arrival, there bad been nothing but rapine and vexation of spirit. The morning after I reached the Zerazer, I was standing on the high plateau of the moun tain, while ten Arabs beat up the ridge on one side, and ten on the other, having agreed to come together on the highest point of the range. The trackers on the northerly side found nothing but old spoors snowed under, but their comrads, more fortunate, came upou the very lair of the lions. Astonished at being awak ened at so unseasonable an hour, they got up from their beds, and finding the prudent Arabs had placed themselves beyond all reach, they took to another cover, grumbling very much in their own language at this annoyance. The Shick of the Seguiaus who was with me iu the hunt, and came up to tell me what had been discovered, said that the lions were brothers, and that one seemed to protect the other, and was constantly showing fight. We started off, but did not reach tbeir lair until tbc afternoon. The Arabs, who were standing sentinel around, told tne that they were still there, and that one had showed himself several times outside of the bushes as though anxious for revenge. After having placed the Arab bureau, who bad accompanied me, iu a place of safety, I ordered all the natives to leave and keep out of sight, retaining oue near me to carry my arms. The ruse succeeded admira bly. The moment that the Arabs disappeared be hind the rocks on the brow of the bill, a lion showed himself on the edge of the copse, and after looking all around him, and seeing me alone with only a single man behind me, lie catne directly towards me. After him, his brother came out of the copse, aud followed ou about fifty steps behiud, both marching boldly to the place where I was posted, carry ing their heads high in the air. 1 had taken my scat on a knoll which over looked the place, and that was easily attaina ble by ledges of rock in front, that sloped np to where 1 sat. The Arab was behind me holding my Lepage gun, that 1 had cocked aud iut into his bauds, with strict injunctions to and it to me the moment I had fired my two other shots. I held my Dcvisine rifle to my shoulder, awaiting the action of iny foes. The first lion came on without halting, until he reached the lowest step of rock, aud bad leaped upon it; he then turned an instant to look for his comrade. This movement present. ed his shoulder to me. and without waiting an instant, I fired. He fell at the shot, struggled to rise, and fell again. He bad both shoulders broken. The second lion, hearing the report of my gun. and seeing the full of his comrade, hound ed forward, roaring in his loudest tones, his mane and tail waving from side to side in bis rapid course. As lie passed his brother, he paused for a second, as if to inquire what was the matter, but that halt was fatal to him, for at that with this inundate, she followed them, down stairs to tbc dinner-room, where a splendid wedding breakfast had been laid,'to save trou ble and hurry on the morrow. To her surprise, tie fellows, eight in number when assembled, — seated themselves and prepared to make a good meal. They ordered her to get them out wine, and to cut her own wedding cake for them ; and tlieu, seated at the head of the table, site was compelled to preside at this ex traordinary revel. They ate and drank, laughed and joked; and Adelaide quick of ear and eye, bad thus time to study, in her quiet way, the figures and voices of the whole set. When the repast was ended, and the plate was transferred to a sack, they prepared to depart, whispering togther, and glancing at the young lady. For the first time Adelaide’s courage gave way, aud she trembled ; but it was uot a consultation against her; they toid her that they did u it wish to harm her—that she was a ‘jolly weuch, reg’lar game,” aud they wouldn't hurt her, but that she must swear uot to give an alarm until 9 or 10 next day, wben they should be off all safe. To this she was. of course, obliged to assent, and then they all insisted on shaking bauds with her. She noticed, during this parting ceremony, that one of the rutfiaus had ouly three fingers on bis left hand. Alone iu the despoiled room Adelaide, faint aud cxhaiftted, awaited the first gleam of daylight—then, os the robbers did not return, she stole up to her room, undressd and fell iu to a disturbed slumber. Tbe consternation of the family next morning might be imagined ; and Adelaide’s story was still more astounding than the fact of the robery itself. Police was scut for from London, and they, guided by Adelaide’s lucid description of her midnight guests, actually succeeding in capturing every oue of the gaug. who the young lady had no difficulty iu identifying aud swearing to, the “three lingered Jack” being the guiding clew to the discovery. The stolen property was nearly all recovered, aud the old rector always declared, aud with truth, that he owed his life to the self-possession and judgment of his el dest daughter. at that instant my second bullet passed through bis body just behind his shoulder. He fell by the side of the first victim, hut recovering him self in a trice, made a wonderful bound that carried him to the very rock on which I was sitting. 1 snalobed the other gun from the trembling Arab, and before the liou could make another leap, which infallibly would have hurled him tip- on me a bullet had passed through his brain. The muscles of bis face quivered, his great hands -radually relaxed their hold-of ,Ko-*>«lr. and ac fell back dead. The remaining ball gave tbe coup de grace to the wounded animal that had been first shot, and the greatest hunt that bad ever gathered on the Ztrazer was ended. Tbe day after, the officers of the garrison at Constantiue feasted on lions’ meat, while the mess-room was hung with the beautiful robes of the fallen kings.

A striking instance of self command, by a lady whose fears must have been powerfully excited, aud whose life of afllucncc had prob ably never before given her nerves any severer test than is incident to the vexations of domes tic cares, is given in Chambers’Journal of last month. We copy the adventure premising, by way of explanation, that the lady was the daughter of a rector residiug iu a quiet Eng lish country village,—aud was upon the eve of marriage: "The wedding day was to be on the mor row of that on which our adventure happened. Grand preparations were made for the wed ding ; and the rector’s fiue old plate, and the costly gifts of tho bride wero discussed with pride aud pleasure at the Hare and Hounds, in the preseuce of some strangers, who had come down to a prize fight which had taken place in the neighborhood. That night, Adelaide, who occupied a sepa rate room from her sister, sat up late—long after all the household had retired to rest. She had a long interview with her father, and had been reading a chapter to which he had direc ted her attention aud since had packed up her jewels, Ac. She was consequently still dress ed when the church clock tol'ed midnight. As it ceased, she heard a low noise like that of a file ; she listened, but could distinguish noth ing clearly. It might have boeu made by one c f tlie servants still about, or perhaps it was only the creaking of the old trees. She heard nothing hut the sighing of the winter winds for mam- minutes afterwards. House break ers were mere myths iu primitive Thydon. and the bride elect without a thought of fear re sumed her ocupation. She was gaziug on a glittering set of diamonds, destined to be worn at the wedding, when her bed-room door soft ly opened. She turned, looked np, and be held a man with a black mask, holding a pis tol in his hand, standing before her. Sbo did not scream, for her first thought was for her father, whoslcpt in the next room, and to whom any sudden alarm might be death, for he was olu, feeble, aud suffering from heart complaint. She confronted the robber boldly, and addressed him iu a whisper: ’lou are come’ she said, "to rob us. Sparc your soul the awlul crime of murder. My father sleeps in the next room and to be startled from Ins sleep would kill him. Make no uoise, I beg The fellow was astonished aud cowed. ‘We won’t make no noise,” he replied suddenly "if you give us everything quietly." Adelaide drew back and let him take her jewels- not without a pang, for they were pre cious love gifts, remarking at the same time, that more masked ruffians stood at the half- opened door. As he took the jewel-case and watch from the table, and demanded her purse she asked him if he intended to go into her father’s room. She received asurly affirmative. "He wasn’t going to run the risk and leave half the tin behindShe propped instantly that she would go herself, saying: "I will bring you whatever you wish, and you may euard me thither, and kill me if I play false to you ” The fellow consulted his comrades, and after a short parley, they agreed to the proposal; and with a pistol pointed at her head, the dauntless girl crossed the passage, and entered the rector's room. A ery gently she stole across tbe chamber, and reinoviug his purse, watch, keys, and desk, gave them up to the robber who stood at the door. 1 be old man slept peacefully and calmly, thus guarded by his child, who softly shut the door, and de manded if the robbers were not satisfied. The leader replied that they should be when they bad got the show of plate spread out be low, but they couldn’t let her out of sight, and that she must go with them, In compliance Wliy People Driuk, Air.

The country abounds in game, and the riv er swarms with crocodiles and hippopotami, while twenty miles iu the interior, lions, tigers and elephants are to he found. During the stay of the Cumberland at Benguela, a party of natives from the interior arrived, laden with elephant's tusks aud gum copal. They are described us being tall aud erect* aud soluc of them good looking, aud of graceful carriage ; hut they were all miserably dirty aud emaciat ed, and nearly—some of them quite—without clothing. They exchange their ivory aud gum with the Portuguese for coarse cotton cloth, some old coudeuiued government muskets, coarse graiued powder, aud a tew bottles ot rum—the Portugese getting the best of tbe bargain ; aud they were again fleeced by the women of nearly all they obtuiued, save tbe rum, which they took good care to drink at once. The writer describes a native village which he visited, where there was such danc ing, jumping and shouting among the natives, iu honor of the Americans, that they seemed to be so mauy maniacs. i'ue Cumberland remained two days at the mouth of the Cougo river, sending a boat up the river to look for slavers, but fiudiug none.

It is, therefore, important that exertions, com mensurate with the magnitude of the enter prise. he made by those interested in it. We feel confident that the tbiug is practicable, and if the friends of the road wilj grasp the menus which they can command, it will suc ceed. aud that top, at no very remote period. The importance and benefits of the road are incalculable, and will add largely to the pop ulation and wealth of the counties of Houston, Pulaski, Wilcox, Irwin, Coffee, and the other counties throngb which it may run, besides.af fording advantages and benefits, of vast im portance. to'Columbus and to the people on the Aluscogee and South Western Railroads, by bringing them nearer Savannah, and also by giving them a choice of two seaports—Sa vannah and Brunswick. And wc venture tbc prediction, if built, the Road will be second to none iu the State in the profits aud dividends, which it will declare. AVe look to the meet ing. at Perry, with much interest, and hope it will give such energy to the enterprise that will result in its ultimate success. Wc regret to hear that a gentleman of this city, of distinguished literary and scientific attainments, one who bears a venerated name, and whose genius and science has given an important improvement to the cities of tbe U- nited States, has been so far bewildered in the mazes of Spirituajisut as to believe that he is wrongly mated with an amiable and devoted wife, aud has found his spiritual affinity with another young lady. As we have been infor med. the wile, though heart-broken by the development, and having oue child, has assen ted to the request pf her husband for a sepa ration, and be bas gone to Indiana to procure a divorce in order that he may marry ins new affinity, who, we believe, is, like his wife, a lady of intelligence, amiability, and irreproach able in character.—Boston Traveller, 29lb. A New National Democratic Paper. Washington, Feb. 7.—It is stated that Messrs, Forsyth and Pryor are about to take charge of a National Democratic journal in New York, with a capital of $1,000,000. Deatli of Benjamin T. Brantley.g Air. Benjamin T. Brantley, died near Fort Scott, Kansas Territory, on the 13th ult., aged about twenty-two years. Air. B., says an obituary notice of the deceased, was born in Augusta, on the 4th of December, 1836, grad uated at Mercer University in 1855, studied law, and had made his arrangements to enter upon the duties of bis profession within a month from the time he was smitten down by disease. Washington A Hairs. Washington, Feb. 5.—A caucus of Dem ocratic members of Congress was held last night, and about fifty were present. The pro posal to provide for the payment of tbe matu ring Treasury notes, and to make a large re duction in governmental expenses, were fa vorably discussed by the Hon. A. H. Stephens and other Southern members. Tbe Pennsylvanian Democrats held a sepa rate meeting and resolved to sustain the Pre sident's policy of specific duties, and refused to be controlled by the action of the caucus, Burning a Negro at tlie Slake, A correspondent of the Ataysville Eagle gives the following particulars of the recent burning of a negro at Troy, Ky., for the mur der of his master: Ou New Year’s day, the annual negro sales took place at Troy, the couuty seat, and there was quite a collection of people there; every thing weut on smoothly until about 3 o'clock in the evening, when Air. James Calaway, a brother-in-law of the deceased, mounted upon an old goods-box before a store door, and ad dressed the people for about fifteen minutes. He said if the mass of the people felt as he did, and would do tbeir duty, which he believed they would, that they would take the black murderer out of jail, and burn him at the stake, in the presence of all tbe negroes that were there, to set an example before them, and show them what will be the result of all such conduct if there should ever be such a- gain. Then he closed by saying, “AH that feel as I do, will follow me.” He then leaped from tbe stand, aud there was a general shout given, and he led the way to the jail, and nine- tenths of the multitude following. On arri ving at the jail, they found the Sheriff and Jailor, who did all they could to suppress the mob, but all to no purpose. They now mustered some 800 or 1000 strong. They then commenced with sledge hammers, crow-bars and axes, and in about an hour en- eutered the jail and brought forward their victim (the negro murderer. They marched him to the center of the jail yard, drove down a large stake and chained him, in an erect po sition, hand and feet fast to the stake. There was an abundance of shavings and fine split wood piled around him—this consumed some half hour. During this time the negro talked to tbe negroes that gathered round him. He told them that he had a good master, and that he was always treated too well and given too many liberties, and for them to take warning in time and never do as he bad done. Then the torch was applied, and he seemed to be entirely indifferent about it until the flames began to burn as high as his knees. Then he began to twist and snort and groan, and in about a minute more he commenced to scream. He gave some of the most hideous screams that I ever beard come from any human be ing. I could not stand to see any more and left. When I left the flames were burning as high as his head. I was only a spectator, took no hand either for or against. I think that there were some 1500 to 2000 people to witness this dreadful scene, and 200 or 300 negroes. W. S. * C. II. Thomson's New Skirts for 1859.
