AK EPISODE OF THIE FRENCH WARS IN AFRICA, It is well khovin that the conquest of tlie rich territory of Allgeriu—soon ito become the storehouse of France—was not easily accom plishfed. Regardlksa of sacrificing the lives of her inhabitants, she baa allowed her soil to be moistened. with their life-blood for nearly a quartet of a centLry. Every step out troops advanced wasi marked by a bloody battle and aa iitmienee loss there is not a foot of ground but nas been the scene of a fearful drama. Seventeen years elapsed, whose annals were sufficietly marked with terrifiei interest to be come a fit subject for the pep of a modern Sal lust,; before _the emir . Abd-elrKader surren dered his swsrd to our generate.; What bloody battles were necessary to bring this about 1 TrueL the young ifieers who left our military echo )ls to proceed to the field of battle, returned to laris wearing epaulettes; but then what hero c deeds did they not perforin before they were thus promoted! Then, too, think of the man j incidents untold and now forgotten, and the i nysterious episodes of this long war, which everyday sprang!up unceasingly. The following is one of those deeds wbich histlfy has neglected to mention, but which itmyi perhaps afford a subject for some future Waller Scott it occurred ncaiiytwenty years ago jin the Summer of crisis at the samli time glorious and disastrous to our troops. Notwithstanding) the efforts of Marshal Claosel, of the colony;, the conquest advanced but.sloiwly. Our troops had not yet became acclimated. It was new for them to live luhder the burning rays of dhe scorching son. The life of excitement, oSd'thesommons by day and night, was an experience they were yet :o acquire, put they went on hopefully, and every where lexolaimed, “ We’lb do it yet— nnlj give us time.” Aiid at length', assisted by the seasons, they overcame all obstacles, cooled the ;orrid heatsjdrove before, them the epidem ic d seaaes, dried up the marshes,; fertilized the deserts, destroyed the? amhusotuies, and con qne ed and subjugated the hostile tribes. Al gieis is become another. Franco. In the Sujmher of 1835 a body of soldiers was; encamped <fn the borders of the Province of Csnatantine jwhich bad long been a rendez vous for the) rebels. The captain, Tristan de St. Romoenf had left Algiers for the purpose of coll feting recruits. Young and'impetuous, he was one of the beat officers in the army—a true specimen of a hussar. During! his short stay in ; ?aris be hid, as an accomplished cavalier, turned more thin one giddy head; but now on thelfield of battle he had- banished from his mind the light pleasures and fuliics of bis six months’ furlough. Of two things only did he dra|m—to make the Arabs feel thestrength of bielsword, -and jto return home : with , the Cross of Honor; For a while, however, the' figurenf a female;flitted; occasionally, across his mind. In » village on the borders resided a Maltese girl whom fortune had .brought to Algiers.— Sfaa was one of those instances we frequently see |of the mixture of Spanish' and English bloid. Notwithstanding this odd mixture she was certainly the most- beautiful creature that had ever been in Africa. Mnnuelita was small an 3 slender, with magnificent;Mack hair and large blue eyes. It would have been difficult to find whiter abd more regular [teeth tbim hers, even in the mysterious tent where the emir Abl*3l-Kader jkept his females. To mention half a single feature more, her waist was so •sleider that you could span it with your hands —4 perfect wisfwaisti But,fa* a handsome girl, she'wns.ajwaro'of'the value of her charms, and kept herself carefully aloof/ - Both Bpan ishjand English,she could ose tbe pojgnard or th’»|ye*tel.' - Be’mghowever tftfthfaTbisrorisrr, and,,ns soon, desirous of keeping to the truth, I must add that Manuelito was more sensible to the charms of gold than to those of flattery. Permitted to enter the French camp, she found a thonsand means of filling her purse. One of hsr resources was the business of a vivandiere. From her little barrel, strapped over her shoul der, she daily poured out wine or brandy. She sold tobacoo to the soldiers and spices to the cooks; ,bnt her chief business was fortune-tell ing. During the suspension of hostilities the pretty Maltese, displayed her magic cards on a skin' spread over a drum; and there, with a charming boldnees, she foretold future events. Our soldiers were very fond of hearing her speak of their private affairs, in a kind of mon grel. French which never failed to excite their laughter. , “ Hear the Maltese speak ” soon a proverb .in the army. . The day that the detachment commanded by the Captain arrived at its. destination, Manue lito walked through the camp offering to every pne her spirits or her prophecies. They drank [and smoked and filled, the hand of the pretty Maltese with silver. She approached Tristan, ,sayiig, “ My good captain, have you nothing to sqr b> me this morning T” 1 Stj Romeouf answered, with a smile, “ No, except that you seem to grow handsomer every iday.' Was it a compliment you wanted from me f? “ I. do not wish to be complimented”—re turned she, turning upon him a seductive gianoo ■—“ will you let me tell your fortune ? lam just in the humor for shuffling cards to-day.” ; “ Pshaw! I know nothing about cards, ex cept lansquenet." Several soldiers who were passing stopped to hear the conversation. iBBEBT, . »on of in 6 j/tart, II iw«y, “ Why, tny good fellow, do you believe in such idle words.?” • "Sow,can we help believing each a person as Manuelito?” • St. Romoeuf laughed again. “Well,” said !he, “ Manuelita may tell my fortune if she will not use cards." “ I don’t want to,” she said, “ your hand is enough." ’ Tristan -gave her his right hand, and the Pythioness examined closely the bine lines which wonnd around on the broad, open palm. Suddenly she turned a sad look toward •the sky. i . “ Are you done 7” inquired the captain. She made a gesture of assent. “Well, you little sorceress, why don't you speak ?" She gave a deep sigh. Tristan laqebed and said, “Very well! I understand aIT-your solemn movements. But you were very anxious to tell my fortune a minoto ago. Why don't you do so?” “ The twentieth of August, captain 1 the twentieth of August 1” answered the pretty fortune-teller, in a significant tone of voice, and sho again relapsed into silence. “I hear you—but what about it? What will happen then?” exclaimed Tristan em phatically. Butbis questioning was vain; she merely repeated the same words. Tristan was vexed at her seeming obstinacy. He threw away his cigar and walked off to another part of the camp. “I always thought she was crazy,” said he. A few minutes afterward, ns he was passing the place again, he was startled at hearing Manuelita close behind him exclaim, *■ The twentieth of August, captain 1 the twentieth of August!” “ What! here again with your cursed croak ing?” But he spoke to the winds. Manuelita had already shouldered her barrel and disap peared. One would supposethe captain would, always remember that date. R.O. It has already been stated that in 1835 the African army was exposed to sudden attacks from the enemy, and skirmishes were continu ally taking place. The exploring party of which I am speaking were subjected to most of the danger and fatigue. It is well known that during the early part of the war the natives gave no quarter. The emirs seta price in silver for each Christian head brought them ; and the Kabyls and Coulouglies used every endeavor to gain the promised reward. This barbarous custom was fatal-to our outposts ; for scarcely a night passed that the natives did not pour down in overwhelming numbers in their search after heads. One morning it was discovered that the guards of one portion of the camp were every one decapitated I To prevent all future recurrence of such deeds Marshal Clau s»l resolved to, send a picket of cnralry every night before the lines guarded, by the French sentries, to protect them. These pickets were composed of one or two.hundred brave and de termined men. , But the emirs on their part sent still larger detachments of skirmishers, true sqns of Jugurtha, who hid themselves in the ravines or (behind the clusters of cactus. Our soldiers fell the sooner, on account of the band which struck them being invisible; and the'enemy having thus the advantage secured a great number of victims. Such was the po sition of affairs until the month of August. Although they, had fought several severe battles, still tjia position of the army was not changed. About a week before the -twentieth of August, the Maltese, hkndsomer and just ns saucy ns .ever, appeared again in the camp. After making her usual sales to the soldiers she re quested to ba shown to M. St. Romoeuf, as she had some excellent llavana cigars for him. Ah J Is.itlyou, the Maltese butterfly t” ex claimed. Tristan, who was examining a map. •“ Yes, captiin; I bring you some exdellent cigars, and I ilso want to make a bargain with yn'u.” “ I'll take the cigars; but I must know what the bargain is before I’ll promise."- “Do yon Remember,’' she ask»d, “what I fold you wheh r was in the camp the other day?” ' . “ Yes ; you kept repeating soma sentence to me—a prophecy," I think." ‘fThe twentieth of August, captain! -the twentieth of August!” ' " That’s-itj I had forgotten it. Well, hare yon made up your mind to explain yourself?" “ I must firstknow whether you will accede to my bargain."

I’ll do it; only if I win I’ll give you two louis for your wine.” And. pleased with the idea, he called a sergeant-major, who wrote down the terms of the contract on paper. The 20 of August arrived. There was po probability of'an engagement that day. Capt. St. Rbmoeufs company was to form the picket that night, but there were two other companies to go before him. In the evening, Just at nightfall, when the hussars were about ’starting, the surgeon in formed the commanding general that the officer who was to have led the first detachment was dangerously-ill. Jhe second officer was imme diately ordered to fill his,place. He prepared hastily to do so, and placed himself at the head of the troop; but his horse, usually very gen tle and tractable, all at once began to roar and kick with such violence that the soldier was thrown to the ground. His leg was broken-in the fall, and Tristan was, ordered to lead the soldiers. He started off boldly, but could not repress a slight feeling of. uneasiness when ho considered the events of the evening, \ “ It's very strange 1” thought ho ; " jlid that “ little, silly Manuelita foresee this, I wonder? “ Perhaps her prediction will coma true, after “ all.” But lie lighted a cigar and cried out loudly, “ Hero’s for the field, my brave lads I “ God help us all, and my saber for myself 1” His company was composed of two hundred men.! It so happened that the post which they were’to occupy was situated about two thousand steps 1 in advance of the French camp on the other side of a reedy mrrsh. They had no ad vanced guard—the order, was for every man;to keep his saber drawn ajfd his gun cocked un til day light, which would render such (precau tions unneossary. All was quiet, however, until about two o’clock in the morning, when, all of sudden, with loud cries of “Allah 1 Allah 1" a body of Arabs charged upon the troop with great fury. The shock was violent, and in an instant almost the little band was put tjo flight. Surrounded on all sides by an enemy four times their superior in numbers, there horses were killed under them, and a frightful carnage en sued. St. Romoeuf received five saber-wounds. His horse fell mortally wounded, and, as he fell, the captain’s leg was caught betwdhn the animal and the ground. In this painful situa tion he was compelled to remain, for he iwas un able to extricate himself. While he thus lay, a prisoner and yet not captive, the battle raged furiously around him. By the cries arid flash ing of weapons he perceived that the [French defended themselves with bravery.- Despair made them fight desperately. But in vain ! The Arabs, outnumbering 'them as they did, soon overpowered them, and in about a quarter of an hoar the gallant troop of hussiirs was completely disabled. After gathering together the horses which had escaped injury, theassaib ante preceded to plunder the bodies!of the French soldiers, and then to cutoff their heads, which they threw into bags brought along for that purpose. I Tristan’s situation became frightful. “ Good “Heavens!” he cried, “ the Maltese predicted (pis but too truly 1” He could hear the sava ges encouraging each other to hasten thei bloody job before the main body should come to the assistance of the soldiers. They said that they were to find two hundred heads; This con vinced Tristan that they must have been well informed of the movements of the army, bpt' whence they derived the knowledge he could not imagine. Just then the wounded horse in his agony -gave a convulsive start, and St. Romooufs le£ was released from its painful situation. In an instant be acquired new courage, and de termined to try to gain the shelter of the marsh, where the reeds would conceal him from the enemy. Sinking to his knees in the mud, he was only able to take a few steps before ho sank to the ground, faint and exhausted through loss of blood. He heard them cry out that an infidel was escaping, giving orders.,tol search the marsh, and through very weakness he f swooned away. Ho lay for some hours in a state of. unconsciousness, and when he recov ered it was broad daylight. Nearly an bout elapsed before he was able to drag himself from the marsh ; and when he gained tbie. scene of carnage he found himself, the sole survivor ' of the bloody tragedy. As he was sadly, walk ing along the battle field now covered Jwfth thje headless corpses of the : men who but a few hours before had been eo full of courage ana hope, he was suddenly grasped by the arms from behind, a ml.-turning his head quickly, lie beheld a tall Kabyl of Herculean might, who had returned to the place in hopes to gnjih some mors booty. Tristan addressed himi'in the Arab tongue and besought him to spare hjs life. He offered the savage his money, hi» watch and uniform, but in vain. jj 1 “ They are already mine, and your-head too,” answered the inexorable mountaineer, land lie raised his saber to slay the unarmed, jdefense less officer, who warded ; off the blow with I,la arm and straggled with him os those only oan struggle who know that life depends on their exertions. A feaiful contest ensued between these two, men, the one armed and ppwerful. the other weak.and exausted from wounds and loss of blood.
