my joi: n James vrurnoN.
There is ;m extensive swaiiq) in the section
of the stale of Mississippi, which lies partly in
the Choctaw territory! It commences at the
herders of flu; Mississippi, at no great distance
iVotii a Chicasaw village, situated near the
~jniith of ac • k. known by tlie name of \ an
eonnnb, and partK inundated hy the swelling of
N.aeral large bayous, the principal of which,
crossing the swamp in its whole extent, dischar
,„.s its waters n>' lar from the mouth of the
} a 7,00 River. This famous bayou is called
h dse River. —The swamp of which 1 am speak
mg follows the windings of the a/.00, until the
latter branches off to the’north-east, and at this
point forms th< stream named Cold Water Riv
er. below which the a/.00 receives I lie drain
ing of another havoti, inclining towards the
north west, and intersecting that known by the
name of False River, at a short distance from
tin- place where ihe latter received the waters
ei the Mississippi. I’lns tedious account of the
situation of the swamp given with the view
of | join mg it out to all s'talents ot nature who
mav chan -e to go that way, and whom I would
earnest 1 v urge to visit its interior, .as it abounds
in rare and interesting productions, birds, quad*
i •jj 11 ds. and ivp'des, as well as moluscous .ini
inals, maiiv of which, I am persuaded, have no
rer hr ten tie scribed.
In the conrs • of one of my rambles I clian
<-f.| to meet with a squatter s cabin on the banks
of the Co! Water River. In the owner of this
hut, like most of those adventurous settlors in
the uncultivated tracts of our frontier districts,
I found a person well versed in the chase, and
acquainted with the habits of some of the larg
est species of quadrupeds and birds. As he
who is desirous of instruction ought not to dis
dain listening to anv one who has knowledge to
communicate, however humble maybe his lot,
or however limited his talents, I entered the
s matter's cabin, and immediately opened a con
versation w i h him respecting the situation of
dm swamp, and its natural productions, lie
told !.!•' he thought it the very place I ought to
visit, <; ■■!.>• of the game which it contained, &.
p. tinted t i s : . ■ u er and deer skins, adding that
die in.livid mis to which they belonged formed
hut a small portion of the number of the ani
mals which k.e had shot within it. My heart
swelled with d light : and on asking!} he would
aceompanv me through the great morass, and
allow me to become an inmate ol his humble but
1 ospitable mansion, I was gratified to find that
V cord; illv ass nted to till my proposals.—So
1 immediate!} unstrapped my drawing materials,
i iid up mv gan, and sat down to partake ol the
vhole-some fire of the supper intended for the
squatter, his wife and his two sons.
The quietness of the evening seemed in per
fvt; vordance with the gentle demeanour of his
f.sm \. —The wife and children, I more than
once thought, seem I to look upon me as a
strange sort of a person, going about, as 1 told
f cm 1 was, in search of birds and plants; and
wore 1 hereto relate the many questions which
tin \ put to nv in return for those winch I ad
dressed to them, tiie catalogue would occupy
s vend pag 's. The husband, a native of Con
nection;. had heard of the existence of such
men as mvs if. both in our own country and a
hrond. and seemed greatly pleased to have me
under his roof. Stumer over, I asked my kind
host what had induced him to remove to this
w ild and solitary spot : “ 'The people are grow
ing too numerous now to thrive in New-Eng
laml," was his answer. I thought of the state
of some parts in Europe, and calculating the
vnsenoss of tb ir population compared with
that of New F.agbmd, exclaimed to myself.
• How much more dilhcult must it be for men to
t rive in those p ; n ous countries T—The con
\ ;sation lh n changed, and the squatter, his
- ns, and im s« If sp >ke of hunting and fishing.
■ at 1 not i tired, we laid ourselves down on
• ;s of hoar skins, and reposed in peace on j
»r of the only apartment of which the
*nn cons sted.
1' v dawned, anil the squatters call to Ids
U. v ’being almost in a wild state, were
s '' r i to seek the greater portion of their food
in vie woods, awakened me. Being ready
drC" . j was not long in joining him. The
an i their vountr came grunting at the well
k’li wn call of their owner, who threw them a
lew ears of corn, and counted them, but told me J
that f • some weeks their number had been i
-treatjy dimmish d by the ravages committed
, a them bv a large Panther, bv which name
'he cougar is designated in America, and that
the ravenous animal did not content himself
with tlie f -sh of his pigs, but now and then car
"o i off one of his calves, notwithstanding the
niuny attempts he had made to shoot it. The
painter as he sometimes called it, had on Seve
rn occasions robbed him of a dead deer, and
!m tries-■ exploits the squatter added several re
•utrkauie tacts oi audacity which it iiad pcrforni-
— mmmm i « i —g ■■ w—^—■ ■■ i
ed, to give me an idea of tlie formidable char, j
acter of the beast. Delighted by this descrip
tion, 1 offered to assist him in destroying the en
emy, at which he was highly pleased, bu -• ur
ed me that unless some of his neighbour- old j
assist us with their dogs, and his own, the at- I
tempt would prove fruitless. Soon after mount- |
ing a horse, lie went off to his neighbors, seve- j
ral of whom lived at a distance of some miles,
and appointed a day of meeting.
The hunters accordingly made their appear
ance one fine morning at the door of the cabin,
just as the sun was emerging from beneath the
horizon. Thev were five in number, and fully
equipped for the chase, being'mounted on horses,
which in some parts of Europe might appear
sorry nags, but which in strength, speed and
bottom, are better fitted fir pursuing a cougar
ora hear through woods and morasses than any
in that country. A pack of large uglv curs were
already engaged in making acquaintance with
those of the squatter. He and myself mounted
his two best horses, whilst his sons were bestrid
ing others of inferior quality.
Few words were uttered by the party till we
had readied the edge of the swamp, where it was
agreed that all should disperse and seek for the
fresh track of the painter, it being previously
settled that tlie discoverer should blow his horn,
and remain on the spot until the rest should join
him. In less than an hour the sound of the horn
was clearly heard, and, sticking close to the
squatter, off we went through the thick woods,
guided only hy the now and then repeated cal!
of the distant huntsman, *W e soon readied the j
spot & in a short time the rest of the party came
up. 'The best dogs were sent forward to track tlie
cougar, and in a few minutes the whole pack
were observed diligently trailing and bearing in
their course for the interior of the swamp. 'The
rifles were immediately put in trim, and the par
ty followed the dogs at separate distances, but
in sight of each other, determined to shoot at no
other game than the panther.
The dogs soon began to mouth and suddenly
quickened their pace. My companions con
cluded that the beast was on the ground, and
putting our horses to a gentle gallop, we follow,
ed the curs, guided by their voices. The noise
of the dogs increased, when all of a sudden their
mode of barking became altered, and the squat
ter urging me to push on, told me that the boast
was treed, by which he meant that it had got
upon some low branch of a large tree to rest for
a few moments, and that should we not succeed
in shooting him when thus situated, we might
expect a long chase of it. As we approached
the spot, we all by degrees united into a body, but
on seeing the dogs at the foot of a large tree
sei a rated again and galloped off to surround it.
Each hunter now moved with caution, holding
his gun ready, and allowing the bridle to dandle
on the nock of his horse, as it advanced slowlv
towards the dogs. A shot from one ofthe party
wrfs heard, on which the cougar was so-si to leap
to the ground, and bound oil" with such velocity
as to show that he was very unwilling to stand
our fire longer. The dogs set offin pursuit with
great eagerness and a deafening cry. The hun
ter who had fired came up and said that his ball
had hit the monster, and had probablv broken
one of his fore legs near the shoulder, the only
place at which lie could aim.
A slight trail of blood was discovered on the
ground, but the curs proceeded at such a rate
that we merely noticed this, and put spurs to our
horses, which galloped on towards the centre ol
the swamp. One bayou was crossed, then ano
ther still larger and more muddy ; but tlie dogs
were brushing forward, and as the horses began
to pant at a furious rate, we judged it expedient
to leave them and advance on foot. These de
termined hunters knew that the cougar being
wounded, would shortly ascend another tree,
where in all probability he would remain for a
considerable time, and that it would be easy to
follow the track. Wo dismounted, took oifthe
saddles, set the bells attached to the horses necks
at liberty to jingle, hoppled the animals, and left
them to shift for themselves.
Now, kind reader, follow tlie group marching
through the swamp, crossing the muddy pools,
and making the best of their way over fallen
trees and amongst the tangled rushes that now
and then covered acres of ground. If you are
a hunter yourself, all this will appear nothing to
you; but if crowded assemblies of “beauty and
fashion,” or the quiet enjoyment of your “plea
sure grounds” alone delight you, 1 must ru nd
mv pen before I attempt to give you an Uea of
the pleasure felt on such an expedition.
After marching for a couple of hours, we a
gain heard the dogs. Each of us pressing for
ward, elated at the thought of terminating the
career of the cougar. Borne of tlie dogs were
heard whining, although the greater number
barked vehemently. We felt assured that the
cougar was treed, and that he would rest for some
time to recover from his fatigue. As we came
up to the dogs, wc discovered the ferocious ani
mal lying across a large branch, close to the
trunk of a cotton wood tree, his broad breast ly
intr towards us; his eyes were at one time bent
on us. and again on the dogs beneath and around
him; oueofiiis fore legs hung closely hy his
side, and lie lay crouched with his ears lowered
close to his head as if he thought that lie might
remain undiscovered. Three balls were fired
at him, at a given signal, on which he sprang a
few feet from tlie branch, and tumbled headlong
!to the ground. Attacked on all sides by the en
raged curs, the infuriated cougar fought with
J desperate valor; but the squatter advancing in
j front ofthe party, and almost in the midst ofthe
dogs, shot him immediately behind and beneath
the left shoulder. The cougar writhed for a
moment in agonv and in another lay dead.
The sun was now sinking in the west. Two j
ofthe hunters separated from the rest, to procure j
venison, whilst the squatter's sons were ordered !
to make the best of their way home, to be ready I
!to feed the hogs in the morning. The rest of I
the party agreed to campon the spot. The cou
£ar was despoiled of its ski mid its carcass ief:
to tiie hungry dogs. Whilst engaged in pre
paring our camp, we heard the report of a gun,
and soon after one of our hunters returned with a
small deer. A lire was lighted, and each hun
ter displayed his pone of bread, along with a flask
of whiskey. The deer was skinned in a trice,
and slices placed on sticks before the fire. These
materials afforded us an excellent meal, and as
the night grew darker, stories and songs went
round, until my companions, latigucd, laid them-
■ —■ M -- - - PH— ——
1 selves down close under the smoke of the fire
and soon fell asleep.
1 walked for some minutes round the camp, to
contemplate the beauties of that nature, from
| which I have certainly derived my greatest
I pleasures: I thought of the occurrences ofthe
• day, and glancing my eye around, remarked the
| singular ( fleet produced by the phosphorescent
j qualities of the large decayed trunks which lay
! in all directionsaronnd me. Howeasv, l thought
would it be fur the confused and agitated mind ol
a person bewildered in a swamp like this, to ima
gine in each of these luminous masses, some won
drous and fearful being, tlie very sight of which
might make the hair stand erect on his head. —
'The thought of being ruvself placed in such a
predicament, burst over my mind, and 1 hasten
ed to join my companions, beside whom I laid
me down and slept, assured that no enemy could
approach us without first rousing the dog, which,
growling in fierce dispute over the remains of
the cougar.
At day break we left our camp ; the squat
ter bearing on bis shoulder the skin of the la f e
destroyer of Ids stock, and retraced our steps
until we found our horses, which had not stray
ed far from the place where we had left them.
These we soon saddled and jogging along in a
direct course, guided by the sun, congratulating
each other on the destruction of so formidable a
neighbour ns the panther had been, we soon
arrived at my host’s cabin. The five neigh
bours partook of such refreshment ns the house
could afford, and dispersing, returned to their
houses, to follow my favourite pursuits.
♦ SPEfTJIAL ILLUSIONS.
On the 30th of December, about 4 o’clock in
the afternoon, Mrs. A. came down stairs into
tiie drawing room, which she had only a few
minutes belli re quitted, and on entering the room
she saw her husband, as she supposed, standing
with his back to the lire. As he bad gone out
totakeawalk about half an hour before, she
was surprised to see him there, and asked him
why he had returned so soon. The figure
looked steadfastly at her with a serious and
thoughtful expression of countenance, but did
not speak. Supposing that bis mind was ab
sorbed in thought, she sat down in an arm-chair
near tlie fire, and within two feet at most of the
figure, which she still saw standing before her.
As its eyes, however, still continued to be fixed
on her, she said after the lapse of a few minutes,
“ Why don’t you speak ?” The figure im
mediately moved off towards the window at the
farther end of the room, with its eyes still gaz
ing on her, and it passed so very close to her in
doing so. that she was struck by the circum
stance of hearing no step nor sound, nor feel
ing her clothes brushed against, nor even anv
agitation in the air. Although she was now
convinced that the figure was not her husband,
yet she never fur a moment supposed that it was
any thing supernatural, and was soon convin
ced that it was a spectral illusion. About a
month alter this occurrence, M rs. A. who had ta
ken a somewhat fatiguing drive during the day,
was preparing to go to bed about eleven o’-
clock at night, and, sitting before the dressing
glass, was occupied in arranging her hair. She
*- I o o
was in a listless and drowsy state of mind,
but fully awake. \\ hen her fingers were in
active motion among the papillotes, she was sud
denly startled by seeing in tlie mirror, the face
of a near relation, who was then in Scotland,
and in perfect health. The apparition appeared
over her left shoulder, and its eyes met hers in
the glass. It was v doped in grave-clothes,
closely pinned, as is : d with corpses, round
the head, and under ‘he chin, and though the
eyes were open, the features were solemn and
rigid. The dress was evidently a shroud, as
Mrs. A. remarked even the punctured pattern
usually worked in a peculiar manner round the
edges of that garment. Mrs. A. described her
self at the time sensible of a feeling like what
we conceive fascination, compelling her for a
time to gaze on this apparition, which was as
distinct and vivid as any reflected reality could
be, the light of the candles upon the dressing
table appearing to shine full upon its face. Af
ter a few minutes she turned round to look for
the reality ofthe form over her shoulder ; but it
was not visible, and it had also disappeared from
the glass when she looked again m that direc
tion. On the 26th of the same month, about 2
P. M. Mrs. A. was sitting in a chair by the win
dow in the same room with her husband. He
heard her exclaim, “ What have I seen ?” And
on looking at her, ho observed a s'range expres
sion in her eyes and countenance. A carriage
and four had appeared to her to lie driving up the
entrance road to the house. As it approached,
she felt inclined to go up stairs to receive com
pany, but as if spell-bound, she was unable to
move or speak. The carriage approached, and
as it arrived within a few yards of the window,
she saw the figures of the postilions and the per
sons inside take the ghastly appearance of skele
tons and other hideous figures. The whole then
vanished entirely, when she uttered the above
mentioned exclamation. —Sir I). Brewster.

E. W'iftle & Wiliinsu Eaagar,
'ip ESPECTFULLY inform tlie Printers of the
A 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 them with orders.
The introduction ol machinery, in place of the tedious
and unhealthy process of casting type by hand, long a
desideratum by the European and American Founders,
was, bv American ingenuity, and a heavy expenditure
of time and money on tlie 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 be car
ried on by the parties before named, njjder the firm of
WHITE, HAGAR and Co. Their specimen exhibits
a complete series from diamond to 14 lines Pica. The
book and news type being in the most modern light and
style.
WHITE, HAGAR and Co. arc agents for the sale of
the Smith and Rust Printing Presses, which they can
furnish to their customers at the manufacturers’prices.
Chases, Cases, Composing Sticks, Ink, aud every ar
ticle used in the Printing Business, kept on sale, and
furnished on short notice. Old Type taken in exchange,
for new at 9 cents per pound.
