About two years ago, I found myself at Sr. Lous, on my any i<> Fori Lnmarie and tin wild region* ol die Wr>i. ]iv infl pared iu uy movements, partly lv innate love of adventure, and partly i>> love of gain. I was also (fin bearer of government despatches of •utiie impor* tanee. Auer cntapleiing tny outset at Si.

After considerable nelav, and a great deal of bargaining, two individuals were engaged.

Vaubiiriftii was asuglv a compound of French and Indian blood as could be found between St. Louis and die Rukv Mountains. He was short in stature tun remarkably muscular. His face wi co vered with dirty heaid of some uiontlt’s growth, and it was a subject ot sum- ru riositv to me to know* bow lie could in sinuate til’s food through such a forest of hair. But / was soon convinced that he ex perienced no difficulty in finding his mouth, especially whiskey wa to lie dis posed of. His dre-s consisted of a leath er hunting shirt and deer skin breerhfs. He never coo versed, but answered with grunti>i far from mu sir el. Hi* worthy companion diflered with him in person quite maieiiatty. He was taller end more symetrical, hot i.o less ugly in feature.

Wlici I had passed it fairly, and found myself getting into the country, tlfvova. guersbegun to talk in an unintelligible j trgon.

It was alioni noon, and the second day from Westport. We were skimming light ly along the surface of the waters, near the right bank f the river. The tall trees which grew luiurisnnly upon the margin were mirrored in |he dark depths beneath. Whether with the .oleum still* ne-s of every thing aboni ns, ass i led my spirits, I am unable to daterc in.-; lint certain it is that I felt my heart sink w ith* in me. Sensations of the most •gloomy ami ominous character look possession ol my faculties.

Now, whether this he oiherwi.r, it is mn /or me to decide; but no person will con vim e me that / did not experience a sensation analagous to that J have just described.

They even made a divi sion of my effects, and settled all to tlieir ii.ulual salisfat lion. My emotions at ibis time, 7 feel it would be useless to describe.
