This was enough for a close shot, and I stepp ed still further ahead that I might have anear- cr mark. But still the animal did not show himself, and I began to fear lest he should have the instinct of my presence, and instead of walking slowly out, would clear the mastic tree with a single bound. As if to justify my fears, he commenced growling, at first with two or three guttural sighs, and then increasing to tho full force of his voice. Fellow-hunter, it is for you I am writing. You only can undcr- s\and and feel my emotions. There, in the _s6lcmn forest, at night, standing alone in front of a thicket from whence are coming roars that would drown the roll of the thunder. I thought of my single ball to hurl against a foe that has tho strength of a hundred men in his single arm; and that kills without mercy when he is not killed himself. You can truly say, that if I had counted on my own strength, my heart would then have been troubled, my eye dim, and my heart trembling. I confess that those roars made mo fed my own littleness, and that without a firm will and an absolute confidence founded upon that Arm that is ever around and supports us, l would have faltered and failed. But instead of that, I could hear the roar so near me without a fear; and to the last remained the master of my own heart and the director of my actions. When I heard the lion making his last steps, I moved a little to one side. His enormous head came out from the dense foliage, as he stepped with a com manding grace into the light of the open glade, and then he halted,half exposed,half concealed; while his great eyes dilated on me with a look of astonishment. I took my aim between the eye anil ear, and pressed the trigger. From that instant until tho report of my piece, my heart absolutely ceased to beat. With the explosion of the gun, the smoke shut out every thing from my view, but a long roar of agony stunned my car, and frightened the forest. My two Arabs sprung to their feet, but without moving from their places. I waited with one knee on the ground, and my poniard in ray hand, until the smoke that obscured the view should dissipate. Then I saw, grad ually, first a paw—and, heavens! what a paw for a living beast—then a shoulder, then a dishevelled mane, and at last the whole of the lion, stretched ont on his side without a sign of life. “Beware! don’t go near him!” shouted Bou- Aziz, as lie threw a large stone at the body; it fell on hiq head and bounced off; he did not move, the lion was dead. That was the even ing of eighth of July, ono thousand eight, hun dred and forty-four. Without giving me time to approach my prize, the Arabs spraug upon me like two madmen, and I was nearly thrown down and crushed by their transports of joy and gratitude. After me, it came the lion's turn; and they overwhelmed him with their recriminations and blows, and then from time to time fired their guns in the air to spread the glad tidings to the distant douars. After they had leaped and gambolled and hurrahed over the animal, I was permitted to draw near him, and examine him at my ease, to look at the size of his teeth, and to measure the strength of his limbs, and to place my hand on his tawny mane. I had no difficulty in recognizig him by the Arab description of the venerable. To give an idea of tins lion, it will suffice me to say that the united strength of us three men was not sufficient to turn him over as he lay, and that bis head was so heavy that I could scarcely lift it from the earth. With the echoes from the reports of my companions’ guns came the distant sound of musketry; now here and now there, as the signal was rung from douar to douar, around the whole base of the moun tain, until at lost it was a general fusilade. In about an hour the Arabs came in on foot and horseback, hurrying forward to touch and in sult afoe that had chilled their very souls while living. After great efforts, we at length were enabled to put the lion on two mules, placed side by side, and in this manner marched down the mountain. It was about midnight when we reached the douar, and made our triumph ant entry by the light of huge bonfires, with the sound of music and of guns, and the wo men chanting the war-song to t he clapping of their hands. The body of the fallen king was laid out in state on a mat between two fires, and the whole population of the country march cd in front of him in stately procession, that they might admire and apostrophize the mighty dead, and all night long, and until the sunrise of the morrow, high revel and a royal wake was held in all the tents for the lion of El Archioua. Early the next morning I left for Gncl- ma, accompanied by a thousand heartfelt ben- edictions. ’ The hatred of the women had fal len with the lion, and now they were more grateful and ardent in their affection than the men, and they all desired to enrich me by gifts of cattle and herds. The proposition that was made to me by the Arabs reminded me of a custom in force in some of the departments of France, where a hunter who has killed a wolf is in the habit of marching from village to vil lage, and the farmers and cultivators pay a tribute as lie passes. The Arabs wanted me, before leaviug, to visit all the douars scourged by the lion, in order to receive a beef from every tent. The offer was made in perfect good faith, as they proposed to commence with themselves, aud to send horsemen with me to drive my herds into Guelma after the body of the lion. I could liavo entered the city that evening, if I had accepted their generous offer, with a thousand head of horned cattle bellow ing victory. I preferred entering with my lion. i r ou were a rich man to refuse this gift worth a hundred thousmd francos, I hear you say. Heavens! I was as poor ns Job; but does not payment destroy the worth of a good act ? Yes, or no; I have refused the same offer a hundred times since then, and never yet regretted my decision. Nevertheless, we marched on towards Guelma as fast as the weight of the lioa, the resistance of the fright ened animals that carried it, and the curiosity of the thousands of Arabs who came out to see the cortege, would permit. ^Already the dis tant walls of the city arose from the sandy plain, when I saw a horseman coining at full run, with a man behind him on the crupper, Havingreached the procession, the man mount ed behind slid to the earth and I recognized the old man to whom I had promised the lion’s beard, who had come to demand the honor. The execution was had on the spot, and I was ns happy in being able to keep my word as the old fellow seemed to be in possessing so great a treasure. Upon our arrival in Gu- elma, the Hon was exposed as a curiosity to the inhabitants oftlie city, aud finally skinned, divided and cateiTby my comrads. This lion was so large as to produce a curious impres sion on the mind of tho spectator, which my friend Valle, an officer in the regiment at Gu- elraa, at that time who is speaking to me as I write these lines, just recalls to me. All those who called to see the body in the place where it was deposited, when they returned to it found it larger and more beautiful and ic than before; and I, who had not lost i moment since it marched although the doors were kept carefully closed yet for several days the horses and mules that were accustomed to bo led past this building to water, absolutely refused to come near it, and exhibited the utmost signs of terror; and the very horsemen who were coming into the city from the plain, were stopped short by this invisible “lion in the path.” A few days af terwards I was summoned to Bone, to receive from the hands of General Bandon a rifle that was sent to me as a gift by his royal highness the Dxkc o aumale, and my captain, to whom I had given the skin of the lion while he was still alive, gave me a double-barrelled rifle to use in my future hunts. On my return to Guelma, I saw that I had already become an object of interest to the eyes of the Arabs, who came all the way from the mountains ex pressly to sec me, and who already had com menced speaking of me as Bou-Stoud, or Ka tel-Sioud, the lion’s master or the lion killer.

The Austin State Gazette publishes in an extra of the 27th ult. the official report of Cap tains Ford aud Nelson, who left Runnels, Tex as, on the 22d of April with 102 men. At the Cottonwood Springs they were joined by Capt Ross and 113 Indians of the Brazos Reserva tion, and then marched towards the head-wa ters of Red river, in Northern Texas. They crossed Red river, and first fell in with Com- anches on the 11 th of May, near the Fort Smith and Santa Fo road. On the 12th they came upon the main camp of the enemy on the north shore of the Canadian river, and immediately attacked them. Capt Ford gives a particular account of the battle, from which we extract the following: _Tlie right wing, in charge of myself and Lieutenant William A. Pitts, moved straight through the camp and poured in a galling fire upon the retreating enemy. Lieut. Allison Nelson, in command of the left wing, assisted by Lt. James II. Tankersiey, and Lt. Wm. G. Preston, charged to the left, and pursued the flying Comanches with vigor and effect. In the meantime, the head chief. Iron Jacket, had ridden out in gorgeous array, clad in a coat of mail, and bore down upon our red allies. He was followed by warriors and for safety to his armor. The sharp crack of five or six ri fles brought his horse to the ground, and a few moments the chief fell riddled with balls. Our Shawnee guide, Doss, and Jim Pockmark, the Andarco Captains, claim the first and last wounds. The fight was now general, and ex tended very soon over a circuit of six miles in length, and more than three in breadth. It was, in fact, almost a series of single combats. Squads of rangers and Indians pursuing the enemy in every direction. The Comanches would occasionally halt and endeavor to make a stand, however their efforts were unavailing; they were forced to yield the ground to our men in every instance. The din of the battle had rolled back from the riter—the groans of the dying—cries of frightened women and children, mingled with the reports of fire-arms, aud the shouts of the men as they rose from hill top, from thicket, and from ravine. The second Chief had rushed into the con flict with the friendly Indians. A shot from the Shawnee Captain, Chul-lc-qua, closed his career. The Comanches between the camp aud the river were all killed or driven from the field, and our red allies sent np a wild shout of triumph. By direction of Capt. Ross, a portion of them held the camp of the enemy. The Rangers and the friendly Indians still pressed the Comanches, nor did they stop pur suing until their failing horses admonished them that they could do no more. Between 12 and 1 o’clock the firing had almost ceased; and 6quads of the troops were returning to the Co manche camp, bringing with them horses, pris oners, and other trophies of victory. Capt, Ross had very properly suggested to Lieut. Nelson the propriety of keeping the men well together ; and when I returned from the pur suit, I found a large proportion of the tnen drawn up in order of battle. The Comanches had another large encamp raent three or four miles above, on the Canadi an. Tney had heard the firing, embodied and threatened to charge us. They were evidently playing for an advantage.and their manoeuvres iiiduced our Indians to believe them . very strong. Our allies proposed to draw them cut and requested me to keep my men in line to support them, if necessary. The Comanches descended fiom the hill to accept their proffer ed invitation. With yells and menaces and every species of insulting gestures and langu age, they tried to excite the reserve Indians into some act of rashness by which they could profit. A scene was now enacted beggaring description. It reminded me of the rude and chivalrous days ofknight-crran’ry. Shields and lances aud bows, head-dresses, prancing steeds, and many minute points were not wanting to complete the resemblance. And when the com batants rushed at each other wit h defian t shouts, nothing save the piercing report of the rifle varied the affairs from the battle-field in the middle ages. Half an hour was spent in this without much injury to either party. A de tachment of Rangers was advanced to rein force the friendly Indians, and the Comanches quitted the field, and the imposing pageant quitted the field, like a mimic battle upon the stage. lt was determined to leave the Indians in possessions of the prisoners and captured hor ses, and to hurl the Rangers upon the Coman ches. My men made a forward movement, if not with the precision of practiced veterans, yet with as much coolness and bravery. The enemy instantly begau to retreat. I directed Lient. Pitts to show himself and detachment upon the hill, with the intention to steal upon them. Lieut. Nelson anticipated me and pass ed around the base of the eminence at a run. The unfortunate arrival of the Tonchahua In dians upon onr left flank prevented the com plete success of the maneuver. The Coman ches broke and fled in varoias directions. We pursued as fast as our jaded horses could car ry ns. After a run of two-and-a-half or three miles, I saw we could effect no more, and called off the men. In this second conflict the enemy lost seven killed, on the ground several wounded. Onr loss was one Waco Indian Killed, and one Ranger wounded, (Geore W. Pacal, jr,) It was now 2 o’clock P. M., and wo had been running ourhorses most of the time since 7 o’clock A. M. I determined to march to my camp that night—fearing the Indians might ascertain its locality aud overpower the weak guard I left to protect it. We learned from a captured woman that Buffalo Hump was twelve miles below us with a considerable number of warriors and wc knew fugitives had reached his camp and notified him of our presence. The iorcc of the enemy in these two engage ments amounted to upwards of300. The cap- ured camp had seventy lodges and fires. I be other party numbering over 100. The enemy had many wonn led, but it was inposaible to ascertain the number, and there- ore no guess at it will be made. "W c captur- il over 300 head of horses—most of them are ssion of the friendly Indians; some told a Mexican muleteer that the Comanches were drying and packing meat to mnko a cam paign against the whites and the Reserve In dians. It may not be true, though the bales of dry meat were there to show for themselves. The Mexican escaped on the night of the 12th. Capt. Ford speaks highly of the conduct of his men and of the Reserve Indians. In Capt. Nelson’s report of his shore of the battle he says : I regret to have to report the loss of Private and killed by the fail. Her body lay at a dis tance from anything that could have inflicted a wound or injury upon her. A heavy cut stone door step, the dimen sions of which are given to us as being some seven feet long by three in width, and several inches in thickness, was torn from its site and carried more than its length, or about twelve feet.
