6 THE DAILY E KG TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 1G, 18G8. THE JANVAHY MAtf AZISES. rutnam's." From Turner DrolLers & Co., No. SOS Chesnut street, we hare received the January number of Putnam' Magazine. The number Btarta with the opening chapters of Mr. R. B. Kimball's new romance entitled "To-day." William Cullen Bryant has a poem, "Among the Trees;" and George KenruaD, in "Teut Life With the Wandering Koraks," describes the adventures of a party of four telegraphlo ex plorers among the wandering tribes of North eastern Asia. The manner in which the ex plorers introduced themselves to the Koraks is described in the following picturesque style: Late one afternoon in November, as the iona; northern twilight wus ludltiK into the ;ciriirr ttccly blue ot an Arctic nlht, our uoars toiled fcloVly up the last Bururnit of the Jamaticu jMountuiriH, and we looked down, lrom a height of more tbao two thousand foet, upon the dreary t'xpauso of bhow whic'i fctrctched away from trio iiime of the mountains at our feet to the far liotizon. It whs the laud of the Waiiderhitr KorakH. A cold breeze from the ea swept jierotB the niouttiiin-top, eoughiinf mournfully through the pines as It piiised, ai.d imensltyinir the loneliness ai d silence, ol the whito wiiitry landscape The limit pale licht of the v.inMiiii! t. u 11 btili lingered upon tho hiirher peak', but ttie f looniy ruviues below m, shnsy with forests of ureh and dene thickets of trailiui; pine, were wlreudy pn'henng tne shadows uu J liiJtsUnct ness ot nitzu. At the loot of the mountains stood the first encampment of Koraks. We had lout; cince learned to distrust the statements of the Km nans and Kaiuchadnles ns to the hostility of this tribe, mid we looked forwnrd witb curiosity and pleasurable exciieuient, rather than with any emotion of lear, to our tlrst uioe,1ni. Their wild, ihOlated life, peculiar and barbarous cus toms, and the sirauue siorics which we had heard of their Bnvaze religioas rite, had In vested them iu our Imagiuations, with a mys terious interest, which" a little spiee ot pcreoual danger only deepened. As we res'ed our dops a few moments upou the sum mit belore conimencius our dosceu(, we tried to discern, through the gathering gloom, the black tents, which we knew btood tit the foat of the mountain; but nothing save the (lurk patches of trailing pine broke the dead white ot Uie level steppe. The encampment was hidden by a pro jecting shoulder of the mountain. The rising moon was just throwing iuto dark, bold relief tUe shay outliues of the peaks on our right, as we roused up our do?a nd plun''e,i into the throat of a dark ravine which leu downwards to the steppe. Tuo de ceptive shadows of nictn, and the masses of rock whieh choked up the narro.v defile, made the descent estremely dangerous, and it required all the skill of our praciici drivers to avoid accident. Clouds of Buowlleiv lrom the spike 1 poles with which they vainly tried to arrest our downward rush: cries un'l waruiut; shouts lrom thuse in advance, ruuliplted by the mountain echoe.s exeirea our dos;s to still greater speed, until we seemed, as the rocks and trees Hew pu-t, to b' in the laws of a falling avalanche, whieh was tuiriuc us, with breavh less rapidity, do n the dart cauon ta certain ruin. Gradually, however, oar sped slackened, and we came out Into the moonlight ou the hard, wind-packed ehow of the oreu Bieppe. Half an hour's bri?k travel brou'-rht ns into the supposed vicinity of the Korak encampment; but wo saw, as yet, no sinus of cither reindeer or tents. The disturbed, torn-up condition of the snow usually apprises the traveller of his approach to tu.3 yoarta of the Koraks, as the reindeer belonging, to the tritie range over nil the country within a radius of two or three miles, and paw up tho snow in. search of the moss which constitutes their food. Failing to tind auy such Indications, we were di'cusing the probability of our having been misdirected, when suddeiily our leading dos pricked up their sharp cars, snulTed eagerly at the wiud, and, with short, crdtpd yelps, made oil' at a dashing gallop towards a low hill which . almost at right angles with our previous eour.-e. The drivers endeavored in vain to check the speed of the excited d igs: their wolfish instincts were arou-ed, and all discipline was torgotlen as the fresh scent cime down upon the wind from the herd of reindeer beyond. A moment brought us to the brov of the hill, and before us, iu the clear moo'ilight, stood the dark, conical rents of the Koi-tks, eurrounded by a dene herd of at least lour thousand d'er, whose brauchmg an'lers nppearcl like a lorest ot dry hiuos around the. yourts.. The dops all give voice BlmiiUaiieon-ly, like a pa k of lox hounds iu victf of the game, aud dashed turnultuously down ttie declivity, re gardless of the shou'sof their masters aud the menacing cries of three or four dirk form;, which rose suddenly up lrom the suow hetwecu them and the I'rrL'h'ened deer. Above the tumult 1 could hear D idd's voicj. hiuliug imprecations in Russian at his yclpiiig dogs.which, despite his most streimoiio Ptlort, were dr igiu hiiu and his capsized tdedge across the tt-poe. Xhe vast body of deer wavered a uinmeut, an .1 then broke into a wild stampede, with dogs, drivers, aud Korak rentinels in full pursuit. Not desirous ot becoiuug involved in themc'tc, I sprang lrom my sledge, and watched the con fused crowd as it swepl. with shout, bark, and naiioo, across trie plain, lue whole encampuieut, Winch had steuied, iu IU quiet loneliness, to 1 deserted, was now startled iuto injtaut activitv. Dark tor ma issued suddenly from the touts, and, grasping the loue speara which stood unrig tit in the miow by the doorway, joined In the chae, fehomiLg and hurling lassos of walrus-hide at the dciis, wi'h the hope of stopping th'dr pur suit. Tne clattering of thousands' of uutlers dashed together in "the coufutdou of tlijht, the hurried beat of countless hoots upon the hard snow, the deep hoarse barks of the bl&rtled deer, and the unintelligible cries of the Koraks as they tried to rally their panic-strlclken herd, created a Pande jucnljni ol discordant sounds, which could be heard lar and wide through the fctill, frosty atmosphere of me;ht. It reserribhd more a midnight attack of Carnau dies upou a hostile camp than the peaceful tirrival ot three or lour American travellers, and 1 listened with astonishment to the wild uproar of alarm which we had unintentionally anued. The tumult grew fainter and lainter us it s wept away into the distant?;, and the dogs, exhanstiug the unnatural strength which excitement had temporarily given them, yielded reluctantly to the control ot their drivers, and turned towurds the tents. Dudd's dogs, pantins with the vio lence of their exertions, limped sullenly back, castiig longing glances occasionally iu the direction of the deer, as if they more than half repented the weakness which had led them to abandon Ihe chase. 'Wby didn't you stop them ?" I Inquired of Podd, laughingly. "A driver ot your experience u-;ht to have better control of his tuutu thau that." "Stop them !" he exclaimed, with au acrleved air; "I'd like to eee ou stop them with a raw hide lasso around jour neck, and a big Korak liauliug like a steam windlass on the other eud of rt. It's ail very well to jump from vour nart,' and cry, -Slop them;' but when tb bar burians haul jou oil the rear-end of jour sledge, lis it you were a wild uulrual, what course would your sublime wisdom suggest? I believe I've got the mark of a lasso round my neck now:'' and bo iclt cautiously about his ears for. the impression of a sealskin thong. As soon ns the deer had been Ra'herod to trcther and a guard placed over them, the Koraks crowded curiously aroui.d the visitors who had entered so unceremoniously their iuiet ennui, aud inquired, through our interpre ter, who we were and what we wanted. A wild, picturesque proup they made, as the monnllcht fctreauied white and clear into their swatthy laces, and flittered upon the metallic orna ments about their persons and the p dlihed blades of their long spears Their hith cheek bones, buld, alert eyes, aud straight, coal-black hair, lupgejted au iuviuiate reluuouhip with our own Indians: but thu resem blance went no further. Most of thilr faces wore an expression ol bold, frank bnuysty, which is not a characteristic ot our Western Jribt'Sj and wliich, we instinctively JWpt?., fi5 r Mifllrient cunrniilro Of their friendliness and pood faith.

COY' cred their Oodles from the neck to the knee, ornamented here and therewith strings of small colored beads, tassels of scarlet leather, and bits 01 polished metal. Fur pantaloons, long boots of sfalskin coming up to the thigh, and ioxkiu hoods, wlih the eais of the animal standing erect on each side of the head, completed the cotnmo, which, notwithstanding its bizarre fleet, had yet a certain pictureque nlaptatlon to the equally strange icatures of the moonlight secne. Leaving our Cossack MeronotT, seconded by the major, to explain our business and wants, i'oddaud I strolled away, to make a critical inspection of the encampment. It consisted of fourlnrne conical tents, bttiit apparently of a frnmework of poles, and covered with loose reindeer skins, confined in their places by long thonps of seal or walrus hide, which were stretched titrhily over them from the apex of the cone to the ground. They seemed, at rir-it slijrit, to be lll-cnlcnlnled to withstand the storms which in winter sweep down across this steppe from the Arctic Ocean, but subsequent experi ence proved that the severest gales cannot tear 1hem from their fatenings. NeVly constructed ledges of various shapes and sizes were scat tered here and there upon the snow, and two or three hundred pnck-snddles for the reindeer were piled up in a f-vti'inetticnl wall near the largest tent. I inishinir our examination, and frel'mir rather "bor'Ml" o.y the society of fifteen or twenty Koraks, who had constituted themselves a sort of supervisory com mittee to watch o'ir motions, we returned to the spot where the representatives of civiliza tion and imit ari'in were conducting their nego tiations. They had npparently come to an amicable undcivtauding; for, upou our ap proach, a tall na'ive with shaven head stepped out from the thrortr, and, leading the way to the largest tent, liit d a curtain of skin, and exposed to view a dark hole about two feet and a half in diameter, wh'.ch he motioned to us to enter.
