The sixth number of these itiimitablo pa pers appears in Harper's New MontJJy for August. In this number the author has got ten to Chattanooga, on the Tennessee, and is*very desirous of making a voyage down tins Tennessee river through the Narrows.— Hut we will let him toll Ins own story : On the second night of their voyage onr travellers retired early and slept soundly, and on awakening next morning found tho boat moored at the Chattanooga landing.— A carriage was procured to convey the ladies and baggage to “Crutchfield House,” while the gentlemen followed on frtot. The hotel swarmed with people arriving and departing with the trains, east, west, north and sonth, hurrying to and fro with eager and excited looks, as if lives, fortunes, and saCred honor huftg upon the,events of the next itour. AH the corners and by-places were filled with groupa in earnest conversation, soma .were handling bundles of papers, others examin ing maps. Rolls of bank-notes were exhibit ed, and net purses with red gold gleaming through their silken treslies. In title confu sion* of tongues the ear could catch tle words, Lots—Stocks—-aQuarter-sectiou—De pot-Dividends— ‘Township —Railroad— Terminus-—Ten thousand—Hundred thou sand—Millions. The Squire, impatient to get his coffee, peeped into the breakfast room. The waiters were trading coats. “I tell yon what—l’ll give you dis cont <or a dollar and a half and toko your paper at nine months, or es you like bettfU onq dollar cash on de button—” “ Detn ’rangthnents don’t zactly suit ing S3 X -Hum —what skurity on ‘furred pay- t : —— : ed me already outen a good hat and pair of “ How you like ao order on boss ?” -Sl*-’ “• 5. Chattanooga is anew place, apparently just cut out of-|?ie woSds. ( It has lately sprung into importance as a point on the great rail way thoroughfare connecting the Mississippi’ River at Memphis Vith the Atlantic ocean at Charleston, South Carolina. It contains four or five* thousand inhabitants, and has some pretty and subgtantiaLbuildings dotted about on its straggling and irregular streets:, which are often interrupted by stumpy fields, poqjls, and patches of forest timber. Such towns usually cannot boast of many attractions, oth er than those of a commercial and specula tive character; but the site of this place is associated with many of the most interesting incidents in the early history of Tennessee, while the natural beauty of its, surroundings make it a spot where an artist, would love to linger. •? • *# *&•**# It is situated at the mouth of the Chicka maugua, on the south side of the Tennessee River, at the point where this stream enters the Cumberland mountains. Behind the town rises the impqsingform of the Look out Mountain, from whose top may lie ob tained one of the most beautiful views ip all the West. Below one catches romantic glimpses o( that savage pass colled the Nar rows, through which, for a distance of twelve or fifteen miles, the hitherto quiet and navi gable river winds foaming, boiling and roar ing, in its frantic straggles to find an outlet to the lower t^pntry —an elysium for the tourist, but a terror to navigators. The view of the long ranges of grinning precipices marking the course of the stream, and stories of danger connected with the passage, so fired the imaginations of our travellers, that they determined, if possible, to make atrip. After many unscccessful attempts to procure a conveyance and a pilot, they at length chanced upon a rough Water man, who promised to take them through in a row-boat; not, however, without bribes and persuasions was the promise obtained. The hour for departure was fixed, and the gentle men hastened to make preparations for tbo voyage. The ladies were to remaiii at the hotel, and the Squire went forthwith to in form them of the arrangemont, while Larkin looked about for some boat stores. At the end of an hour the gentlemen met at the landing, with their countenances some what fallen. The ladies had positively re fused tp be left alone, ill a strange tavern in a strcufge town. “If, said the Squire, “ I had ktiowu what a set of ridiculous, perverse—” “It makes no difference,” interrupted Larkin. “The boatman is as drunk as a fool, and now says lie wont take us; nor is ho able to do so if he was willing.” ‘ This report the boatman himself presently verified by staggering tip to the speakers and inquiring, jf they thought be was going to ttttejltlß life to satisfy the kurosity of a cou ple of d—d fools? Larkin answered that, from appearances, shell a loss would be irre parable both to liis family Mid society in gen eral, and, in couseqitencc, they would excuse him. . “But,” continued the boatman, “I can tell you a good story about the first time I ever went through them* Narrows.” The artist intimated that, if tlie story was a good one, li6 would feel compensated for the disappointment. rafMgi. tin “This was the way of it,” said the mari .uer, balancing himself, and looking wise:— “ There was a man and his family come from above somewhar, in a flat, bound for Arkansaw. He was pretty well loaded with farm stock, women, eluluieri, and truck; tlhd having heard tell of the Narrows, he was afeard to go through by himself, and wanted a pilot. So, after considerin’ a while, I agreed to through for two dollars.” “But I thought yon were telling qF the first time yoU went through?” said Larkin “So I am, boss 1 if you’ll only let me talk. I never had been through there, bat I had heard people talk about the. Skillet, and, the toleek, and the Bilin’ Pot, anil all that;’ and I thought I could shoot her through, and if I sunk her I’d lose my money—that’s all. So we tuck a few drinks and put off, and 1 takes tho steerin"-oar and put her head down, and lift her rip. Night come on pretty soon, hut that was all the samp to me; so wo tuck a few more drinks and let her slide. And we went over some rough places, an3, afters while, come to a pretty 8m art current runnin’ smooth. ‘Now she goes it slick as goose grease!’saysi he tome. So, by-and-by, we saw lights on the shore, and passing by a ffiuse where a feUer was playiu’ ‘Old Zip Coon’ like a saw-mill, and people daDcin.’— * Here’s good fun to you!’ says he, and we tuck, another dig. So we went on pretty sprightly; aud, by jingo! before we got well out ofsTght and bearin’ of that house we went past another, whartbey were dancin’ to the same tune. ‘Success to’eml’ says I. ‘Hand us that bottle; while fun fs goin,’ we might as well have onr share.’ So wo drank a mouthful, and before we were done talking about it, we went past another place, fiddlin’, and dancin’like the rest. ’ “‘Mistnr,’ says be to me, ‘this here’s the jolliest settlement ever I traveled through— all agonin’ it to the same tune.’ ‘’Pears to me,’says I, • I hear another fiddle and fel lers a laflinand, presently,.sure enough, we streaked past another house whar they warn goin’ it a leetle more extravagant thaD the others—tune about the same. * Mister,’ says 1...... I. . spoke up : ‘Pilot/ says he,*‘there’s one of two things—either we're’drunk, or there's hell's doin’* goin* on thisriver to-night!”— ‘ What time o’nigbt is it?’ says I. /About two o’clock iu the mornin’ by the stars,’ says he. ‘ ‘How many houses haviS we pass ed ?’,- ‘. I’pre counted nine,’ says he, aw'flia voice began ;to shake a little. ‘Now,’ lays ha ‘t?nHgbt‘be Hint the hellish thing is a . follcrin’ of u*.’ • Nine,’ says I. •Is the devil’s n umber,’ says I, pretty badly skecred; *lf the thing appears agin, go call your wife, aud if the cant see it, We’re drunk, certain.’— * Listen !* says he; • don’t you hear em ? thar’s the lights! ten times! we’re dmpksore.— Katy ! Katy! sweet-heart, wake up! “This time I headed the flat a little in nearer shore, and we could hear ’em plain, cussin’ and swearin’. . - . ...... “‘Katy,’ says boss,. ( ,‘<byou see or hear anything over tliar on shore?’ “‘1 seelights,’ says she, ‘and hear a pas se) of di-nnkeu boatmen danqitig ‘Old Zip Cooa.’ M “I wanted to put in, but boss but sure as I’m a man, if they’re carrym’ on at the next house we pass, we'll tie up and make out the night with’em!’ “In about half an hour, as I expected, we come upon another spree. ! ■“Head her in!’ says he. So we tied up at the landing, and went in the house. 4 ‘ “Now, stranger, how do you.think it was? Why, this was old Jack Cogles’ house, down thar-fornenso the Bilin’Pot, whar some fel lots and some galls were dancin’* all night; and we went bilin’ around and around; passin’ by the same place 6ver and over agin!— Now at fust it come to me like a sort dreanu then it was all clear; and without waitin’ to be cussed or laughed at, I streaked it. But it’s all true, jist as I tdl ye.” ‘iuMWrOm the Baltimore Sun. THE INDIAN WAR IN OBEGOH. Onr Californian files bring us the particu-’ bu sos the engagement in Oregon, between Col. Steptoe's command and the In dians. The report that Lieut. Winder, of Maryland, was among the killed is, we are pleased to learn, unfounded. The two offi cers who were slain were Capt. 0. H. P. Taylor and Lieut. Gaston. Captain Taylor was a graduate of Welt Point, in the class of 184 C, and brevet captain “for gallant and meritorious conduct in conflicts Mex ico.” It was a few weeks previous that he returned to Oregon from the Atlantic States with his wife aud children, who are now widowed and orphanfed by tliis said affair.— Lieut. William Gaston was a graduate of 1856. and an officer of great promise. A letter from Oregon says : “ Father Joseph, the Occur d’Alene priest, rode up to Pteptoe just previous to the onslaught, and told him that the Indians were exasperated’, and resolved upon figlit ing, because they had hoard that a road was to be laid out through their country from Walla Walla to Fort Benton, and that they would massacre every white man whq at tempted to pass through their country on such a mission. This, then, is the acknowl edged, ascertained cause of the assault, and it, is, indisputably, the fixed purpose of tho Indians to prevent, if possible, auy transit whatever across that country.” ~ 1 The following letter from an officer enga ged in the conflict contains fuH derails of the engagement: “ On the 6th of June, Col. Steptoe, with C, E, and H companies of first dragoons, and seventy-five men of the ninth Infantry, with two mountain howitzer, left Fort Walla Walla for Colville. The officers of the com mand were Col. Steptoe, Captains* Winder, and Taylor, Lieuts. Wheeler; gemming, Gaston and Gregg. After marching eight dayß, we reached the Peiotise river, and were about passing into the Spokan country, wbeu wo were iufqrmed by Indians that the Spokans would resist our entrance into their country. The Spokans have always been regarded as friendly to the whites, and when we left Walla Walla no one thought of hav ing an encounter with them, or any other Indians on the march. “ On Saturday morning, the 10th, on leav ing camp, we were told that the Spokans had assembled, aud were ready to -fight ns. Not believing this, our inarch was continued until about eleven o’clock, when we found our selves in“the presence of six hundred war riors, in war costume. The command was halted for the purpose of having a talk, in which the Spokans announced that they had heard we had gone out for the purpose of wiping them out, and, if that was the case, they were ready to fight us, and that we should not cross the Spokan-river. The In dians were well mounted, principally armed with rifles, and were extended along our fl nk to the distance of one hundred yunk. After some talk, the Colonel told ps that we wonld have to fight, and we immediately put otpojvfea iu a position to move to, hotter gfound, determined that the Spokans should fire tho first gun. After marching a mile we reached a sheet of water. It t was deci ded to encamp and hold . another* talk with the Indians. Nothing resulted from tliis but the most iusulting demonstrations on their part. Wo dared not ‘dismount, and were kept on the saddle three hours, until the set ting df Hie sun dispersed the Indians,- 7 On Monday morning we left camp to re turn to the Pelouse, marching in the follow ing order; company Hin advance, C in the centre, with the packs and E ill the rear.— At eight o'clock the Indians appelated in great numbers abonk thp rear of the column, jusLas , g ■ 7 **’ * ***J 1 three companies, numbering in all abort one hundred and ten men, were warmly engaged with hundred companies began to move toward the position i *“iu, ine lfratAuS prcwnig ciosciy upon them. Accompany E was a large body i)f Indians got betwcea it atd my company, so that, having it between two fires, they could wipe it out at once'. Gas near enough, and 1 saw be was abort to charge, I charged with company H, The result yas Wat our companies met, having the Indians in a right angle, iu which angle we left twelve dead Indians. “ After getting together, we kept up thlf fight for half an hour, aud again started to roach the water, moving half a 1 mile under a constant and raking fire, under which our comrades, Jjtffcir stiff Gaston, fell. We finally reached s hill near the water, apd oc cupied the summit, and the Indians now Jisv ing completely surrounded it, we dismount ed and picketed or;r horses close together, on *he qf The flat inclined summit, and posted our men around the crest, making them lie fldl qu the ground, as the Indians were so closq gnd so dating as to attempt to charge Jim hill, but, although outnumbering us eigfit to one, they could not succeed. “ Toward evening our ammunition began to give out, and our men, suffering so much from thirst and fatigue, required all our at tention to keep them up. To move from one point to antfther, wo had to crawl on our hands and knees, amid the bowling of the Indians, the groans of the dying, and the whistling.of balls and arrows. We were kept in this position untit eight o’clock, P. M., when, as rifghTcame on, it became ap parent that on the morrow we must “ go uu der,” and that not one of us would escape.— Ij was plain that, nearly destitute of amtnu nition, we were completely surrounded by six or eight hundred Indians; and most of these on points which we must pass to get away.— Therefore, it was determined to run the gauntlet, so that if possibleaome might es cape. Abandoning everything, we mounted and left the hill at nine o'clock, and, after a ride of ninety miles, mostly at*a gallop and without rest, we reached Shake river, at Red Wolf Crossing, the next evening, and were met by our friends the Nez Farces. We had two officers, five men, apd three friendly Indians killed, and ten men wounded ; Set-- gant Ball, of company H, missing. Ttfe ser geant distinguished himself very much du ring the action, and we all hope that he will yet come ill. “ Capt. Taylor was shot through tlie neck, and Lieutenant Gaston through the body; they both fell fighting gallantly. The com panies fought bravely, like true men. We brought our horses back in good condition, except about thirty which were shot during the figlit. The Indians made no captures.— Before the battle was near over the Indians picked up nine of their dead ; how many of them were kilie 1 is not known, but I can count fifteen ; they acknowledge having for ty wounded.” At the last dates Gd. Hteptoe was it Fort Walla Walla, waiting sot .reinforcements. — There have been further.troubles in. the vi-. cinity of Port Orford ; the Indians had at tacked a train of pack mules belonging to the United States, taking fourteen of the mules and killing one packer. On the oth er hand, fourteen Indians had been kiiledf while trying to escape wlieh on the road to a reservation. .. ! .> • “>in. •■Mi it (pi.

On Saturday, Mr. Barker, a wagon maker on Seneca street, discdVercd that a horse was in the barn formerly need by Mr. Kirkland. On entering the stable the horse was found ly, ing down, and too weak to rise. The animal bad eaten everything within its reach, gnawed the wood of the manger and the floor, and iu its agony bad apparently bitten all this time the horse, so far as can he ascer tamed, could have had no access to water or food. Mr. Barker animal a little wate and meal, and yesterday it-was still’ alive. We give the facts as they are reported to us ; but it seems almost incredible that a horse could live such a Ipngth ot time with out food or drink*— Buffalo Courier, July 19. ■ **■” s An Idk* of Eternity.—An Orthodox Yankee expressed himself as follows con cerning eternity : “Jiternity ! why don’t yon know the meaning of that word. Nor I neither hardly, ft is forever nod ever, and five or si2 everlastings a top of that. You might place arow of figures from here to stm set, and cipher them up‘ and it would not be gin to tell how many %es long eternity is. Why, my friends, after millions and trillions of years have passed a way iu the morning of eternity, it would be a hundred thousand year* to breakfast time.” ——- r - i Ladies’ Favohitks.— There is too much truth tn the following remarks of Addison; •• l bavd found that the men who are really most fond of ladies—-who cherub for titem the respect—are seldom (be most popular with the sox..
