The following anecdote is related by a cor respondent of the St. Louis Beacon. The trait of character which it developes, is not novel or unknown, as applied to the Indian race; nor is the observation of Goldsmith, that “drunken ness is the vice ofn barbarous, and gaming, ot a luxurious age," entitled to the merit of a distinc tive aphorism. These vices arc notoriously prevalent in both, but although wo cannot find much to praise in the discovery of a principle, by either, there is interest in the incident the com munication records: — Indians are the most desperate gamblers in the world, considering their means. One would h- astonished to witness their stakes. 1 have seen them sit successive hours, and sometimes days, at their games, alternately winning and losing, until one of them rose stripped of all his wealth, horse, gun, and every thing but the rag, as wo might say, of modesty. This would bo railed ruin by the civilized world, but it causes no despair or suicide with them, and all that an •observer would perceive, is perhaps a little mor tified pride at his defeat. The young squaws, having more leisure, are more constant gam blers than the men. I have seen a young squaw pull ornament after ornament from her arm, bead after bead from her neck, and broach after broach from her bosom, until she had lost the whole, and then probably pawn her clothes for another game. The greatest game that I have over heard of, however, was between a Crow and Chaycnne. It was told me ns a well known fact by a man residing among the Crow s, and confirmed by the Crows themselves through an interpreter. About four years since, the Crows and Chay ennes were, as they have almost always been, at war. In fact, Ido not know that they ever mot peaceably, except in the single instance I um about to relate. In a state of hostility, of course, war parties were continually roaming in search of favorable opportunities to strike with success, and with as Ii * tic risk as possible; it happened that two hostile parties were encamp ed without the knowledge of either, near each other. They had been out a longtime, and had seen no “signs” of an enemy, and o( course be came considerably discouraged. After a little reflection, and within a day or two of the same time, both |wrties resolved to return to their re spective tribes. It happened also, that one of each party refused (pledged by an oath, or n fraid of the ridicule of some favorite squaw) to return. This is very common among them, and it excites no surprise, even after success, that one or two separate from the main party, and go forth alone, sometimes for a definite object, and sometimes not. These two men were left by their respective comrades m the mountains, near Powder river, and for the two following days tltev remained near where they were lett. On the third, and near night fall, they had selected their lodging places near each other, still ignorant oi their vicinity. The Chayenne was going down and the Crow up, a ravine that gradually de scended. at that place, towards the river. Tin* former laid himselfdown among tiic rocks in the bottom of the ravine, but the laLer, thinking from the appearance of the sky that it would rain, and knowing how the water rushed in tor rents down these ravines, crawled np its side, and there, under the shelter of a friendly rock, arranged himself for repose. As the Crow ex pected, one of those sudden and tremendous showers common to the country' came on ; ho, however, lay unmolested by it. Not so with the Chayenne; hearing the roar of the coming torrent, he hastened to se cure himself from being washed away* or dash ed to death against the rocks, by groping out a passage to the side, hardly knowing, in the dark, ■whether he was going to safety or destruction. And feeling around, and managing to get about one hundred yards from where the water had driven him. he came accidentally to the rock which sheltered the Crow. In endeavoring to ascertain its position with the ground, he placed his hand upon the bare shoulder of his enemy. As it may bo expected they both started, the one back and the other up. with their usual ex rlamation of surprise—“ ah ! said they', as they stood gazing, and light up their gaze with the fire of their own eyeballs. V\ hat is very unusual among Indians on a war party, they wore both unprepared, and both, too, searching for enemies.—The night was very dark, the ground precipitous and uneven, and both hesitating what to do, not knowing but each haa friends close at hand. At length the Chayenne made signs that he would lie down for the night, and that in the morning they would try their prowess. It was arranged, and two brave and mortal foes, until that instant, lay* down side by *idc under the same rock. I question it either slept, still they continued in their recumbent posture until rooming. Morning came, and both, assured of their novel situation, laughed at its singularity ; from a laugh, they began their signs, and at length determined, tiiat, as either allowed the other's tribe to be the bravest in the world, they would not fight, but would try their strength or skill in gambling. They commenced and the game continued fluctuating for some time, until after about 2 hours the Crow won all the arms, pro visions and clothes of tire Chayenne ; to express it more fully, the Chayenne stood before him clothed only as by nature at bis birib. After standing a few moments in thought, he arrested the Crow in packing up his winnings by saying, he would stake his scaljr. The Crow of course eagerly engaged again, thinking probably it was a cheap way to acquire such a trophy ; but fortune favoured the brave, and from that in stant the Chayenne commenced winning. lie continued until be had not only won back ail his own, but all the Crow had, leaving him as destitute as the Chayenne was a short time be fore. He could now do no less than his anta gonist had done. The Crow’s scalp was now at stake. Both were anxious, and bo h played cautiously. It would not do, the Crow lost his scalp, and the Chayenne proceeded very delibe rately to lake it off. The operation was com pleted, and the Crow was pronounced the great est brave in existence. A Her some little conversation, praising each other (all signs) they separated, under the pro mise of again playing should they ever meet, at the same lime assuring each other, that they would s rive to bring the tribes, or parts of each, together. In about three months, true to their promise, they met, the Indians consenting to the meeting for the purpose of witnessing such a game. Again they played, lost and won altermately for some time, both better guarded as to their scalps than before, the one having none, and the other having a large quantity of things to lose before his vvouldjcome into the play. Luck however settled down in favor of the Crow, and, as the scalp of the other became the stake, the anxiety of the Chayennes showed itself by the deepest and most silent attention ; whilst, on the other hand, a murmur of encouragement passed along the line of Crown for their champion. The game drew to a close. Every eye was atten tion. Their very respiration was checked, and the dogs themselves hushed their harkings into low growls. It was but for an instant, for an exulting shout soon announced the success of the Crow-. The same operation that he had performed on the Crow was submitted to by the Chayenne, and after a little feasting, the two tribes separa ted, for the first and last time, in peace. OAKLEY. St. Louis, Nov. 20, 1829. [from the n. y. mercantile ADVERTISER.] PtXXEK ADVENTURES. " S ime pigeons, Davy, a couple of short-legged hens -—joint of mutton, and any pretty little tiny kickshaws— tell William code.”— Shak»peare. 1 have always looked epon cookery ns a sub lime science. The mind is the slave of theslo mach—a half-cooked bird will deaden for hours the brightest and proudest intellect. “ The way to a man’s heart,” said Napoleon, “is down his throat ” —leaving it of course to be understood that when you travel that way, you are not to ho accompanied by raw potatoes, tough meat and sour wine. I always suspect the man who professes indifference towards eatables— who has no choice —who does not prefer a sad dle of venison to a loin of veal, or vice versa— depend upon it, he has no heart —or no palate — nr else he is quizzing you. Now 1 have my preferences, and amongst others, I prefer French cookery to any other science in the world—a ghost might prefer astronomy or pneumatics — hut flesh and blood must concur with me. This is a good deal lor me to confess—l was brought up in a veneration for the roast beef and pota toes of merry England and in horror of frogs. But it is long since I became fired of roast beef, and long since, (start not, reader !) I ate p frog, vea, many frogs. 1 used to catch them for my French tutor in days of yore and many a time when we were supposed to be reading Telemaquc, were we supping on tiie croakers, (not Halleck’s croakers it was before they made a noise in the world.) Fond as I am of French cookery, I have al ways been too lazy to study its nomenclature. I have been in the habit of ordering a dinner of mutton, or beef, or fowl, in as general terms as Grumio bade the tailor make “ two sleeves ” to Katharine’s gown, denying that he ordered them to he curiously cut.” [Vide one Shakspeare.] The minutiae I always left to the honor of the cook.lmy preferences lying between the materials and not the various method’s of their prepara tion. My ignorance of this nomenclature gas lately led me ito some ludicrous predicaments. iJct monico has, this winter, estabiihed a, “Restaurant Francois” on the Parisian plan. In I pupped some days ago with a glorious appetite. I found the bill of fare entirely in the French language. Glancing over it hastily, the first item that attrac ted me was “ cornickon ” amongst the “ Hors d’ceuvrcs.’ Cornichon I know to mean “ a little horn” and as 1 was very thirsty I concluded to take a small horn before attacking the substanti al?. So I ordered the garcon to bring me a cornichon. He started, and as he turned I saw his suppressed £mile. A french waiter is too well bred to laugh in your face. I began to sus pect all was not right. In a few moments he re turned, bringing me, to my utter dismay, a plate 0 f pickled cucumbers ; I abhor cucumbers as I do the devil —but as 1 had got in a pickle and did not like to show my ignorance, I swallowed the little wretches hoping to be looked upon as an exceatric man. , The pickles made me thirstier than ever, I confusedly and hastily looked over the bill, and saw “ peche a fcau de vie.” Aha! thought I, “ there will be no mistake this time— euu de vie 1 know means brandy, and pcchc of course, is a glass,” So I issued my order with much com plaoencvand an air ot knowing what I was about, and what do you think I got, reader ? A brandy peach, by all that’s horrific ! —And what do you think I did 1 Jump up and run out of the house ? Or stab myself with the silver fork ? Neither — l tried to look as if I was in the habit of commenc ing mv dinner on cucumbers and brandy peaches, and 1 trust I succeeded. Believing that fate decreed against my having any thing to drink, I again took up the bill, to try and blunder on something to cat. “Lot me see,” said I, “what have we hsre? Languc a la bourgeoises-the longue of a citizen's wife / What! Is this splendid establishment the resort of can nibals? Why surely it must be, for here right below is “Coleletles ala fnuncicre”—the cutlet* of a financier ! Tough fjod, I should think, par ticularly if Delmonico catches his financiers a mongst our Wall-street peripatetics. I’ll try neither of these dishes—a woman’s tongue and a broker’s legs are too much exercised to be ten der fare however fair the f irmer may be, and however tender her accents. Let me look a little farther, “Ris de veau”—the smile of a calf! Y ho but a Frenchman would ever have thought of cooking a smile? It must be a delightful dish —but I w ant something more substantial. “Can. ard crux olives”—-a water-dog in olives ! Whew ! What will they cook next —this is worse than the Persian’s horse-flesh dinners. And hero is “cntrc-cote a la mail re d'hote I”—.the rib of the master of the hotel! What a barbarian to cook his own wife! unheard of enormity 1 “Epigram me. d' agnerm”---the epigram vs a I .mb ! i sup pose they will soon make an anecdote of a pig, and a hislot tea! fact of an oM cow, W hat’s tins ? — “Saucisson”—a squib ! 1 have had enough to do with squib ting in my day—l’ll none of this.” “ Anguillcs a la tit lure”—eels in hell —just where they ought to be —I would as soon cat a. snake as an cel. “ Omelette snufltc” —a puffed omelet —I have had puffs enough. “Quitre mendians”—four begg trs ! Too much lcan—~ Not a particle offal. T il be hound, in such a dish. Just at this moment, an old gemieman entered and sal down at an adjoining table. “ Give me some roast beef and potatoes,” s .id he. “Eh monsieur,” said the garcon, presenting the bill or fare. He looked at it with puzzled aspect.” “1 dont Understand all this cursed gibberish,” said he, “bring me roast beef and po’atoes.” Ah —oui—rosbif et poimnes do ton e. ’ —Pnm de u—-I. —potatoes, 1 say. Determined to show before the old gentleman, and not liking the names of thedishes ( could understand, I launch ed into the sea of conjecture, hoping to make no further mistake, and called promptly for “jntn-h au r/ium ” resolving to oat it, if it turned out to be a wild cat. It came—it was a glass of rum punch—l fainted f P. S.

IVliite Sc William SSagar, mESPECTFULJ-<Y inform the Printers of the United States, to whom they have long been in dividually known as established Letter Founders, that they have now formed a co-partnership in said busi ness, and hope from their united skill, and extensive experience, to be able to give full satisfaction to all who may favor thetti with orders. The introduction of machinery, in place of the tedious and unhealthy process of casting type by hand, long a desideratum by the European and American Founders, was, by American ingenuity, and a heavy expenditure of time and money on the part of our senior partner, first successfully accomplished. Extensive use ot the ma chine cast letter, has fully tested and established its superiority, in every particular, over that cast by the old process. The Letter Foundry business will hereafter he car ried on by the parties before named, under the firm of WHITE, HAG A R and Co.

The literary contents of this number comprise atone; ty of interesting avticles, which maybe read with plea, sure and profit. We are also enabled to present thb award of the Prize Committee, which we have printed at large, on the cover of our book. By this, it will bh seen, that the premium has beeh awarded to Miss LESI LIE, a lady, whose talents have won for her a high ire putation on both sides the Atlantic, and one vho posse ft ses as much power in delineating scenes and characters with her pert, as her eminent brother, whose works are subjects Os universal admiration, has exhibited with hlft pencil'. Mrs. WASHINGTON POTTS, the elohy which has been distinguished by the unanimous approbation of a committee composed of gentlemen, whose taste and judg. ment arc undoubted, will be published 5n our next number. It is a lively picture of life and manners, drawn with great skill and discrimination, and a strict fidelity to na ture. We venture to predict for it a tribute of genetii applause. Among the other stories submitted in competition, there are many of groat merit. These would have beertsped»E ly noticed an< l commended by the committee, but for obvious reasons such a course was considered unadvis* able. They will be published in the succeeding numttei* of our work, as opportunity may offer- We hope to make the October Number ofthe Lady’s Book superior to any of its predecessors. In addition tb the Prize Pale, it will contain several spirited original articles, In order still further to improve the book, w® have employed a young artist, whose present performan ces give brilliant promise of future distinction, to supt erintend the embellishments; and he is now engaged In prepat mg a piate ofthe Fall Fashions, which we may safely affirm will equal in point of execution any we have hitherto published. We have also in ‘course of preparation the portraits of several distinguished lot dividuals. We take this occasion to remind our friends that th£ edition we arc printing of the current volume, does nofc far exceed the actual number of subscribers, and it will therefore be necessary for those who wish complete setts, to nude early application. Since the subsidence of the Cholera to the North and East, our orders have increased to such an extent that we feel bound to state the fact, that those who wish the work May See theinv propriety of further delay. , • L.
