TOWNSKNP, M. [co N ctx inn.] Tna evenings, during his forced sojourn in the Sn eke ramp, wore passed by the baronet 'in the lodge alas cap tor, in company with the beautiful Waskamah! and her father, unsuspicious . of wrong, loft them alone.,and spent the time among ills people in the village adjacent. They invented a vehicle of communication by which they could perfectly undprstand each other, and - he soon found that ho had gained tho fresh and'guilolesa heart of the lovely girl, who confessed that she had never loved but him:— As to Wahconza, to whom , her father had betrothed her. she shuddered at the mention of his name; and with ;Ware besought her lover to beware of him, for, if ho •tinco suspected the truth, ho would tear hor from Ithi arms forever, and doom him to a cruel and frightful death. , Ono evening they .sat together as usual. The tent was closed, but the fire in the centre gave ample light to the lovers. The baronet was silent, for reflections would intrude upon his mind that he would gladly have banished. His cones ience ceased not to upbraid him for, the wrong ho meditated against the trusting and artless maiden beside him. lie had plighted to her his troth, and unheiitatingly bad her unsophisticated heart boon given into - his keeping, little dreaming that in a few short weeks ho intended to leave her forever, and return to his own proud and lordly island, where. the poor, un educated child of the forest could not accompany him.— None of these things, ht his detestible selfishness, did he dare to tell her. She had consented Fo ply with hint; to live with him as his wife, without gnvmg or receiving pledges; for she know nothing of the civilized mode of binding a man and woman in matrimohial connexion. Numerous were the schemes concocted, all having for their object an elopement to a prrt of the country out of the reach of pursuit; for she kne v that her father would join in the search with all the canning and sagacity of his nature, if only to make good a pledge given to his savage follower for favors and s rvices received at his hands. tinder other circurnstances the baronet might have borne her away openly, an l with the full consent of her father, who would have considered himself amply compensated for the loss of his daughter by the present of a gun and a few blankets; but tt Shoshone chief would scorn to forfeit his plighted word when given to one of his own tribe. This she well kniii; and her beautiful eyes were frequently dimmed with tears; and often did she, with the trustful and touching affection of, a woman who knew nothing of tho conventionalities and cold pro priety of civilized life, throw her arms around Sir Wil ham's neck, had weep long and passionately upon his bosom. Although ho had fully determined to deciovo her in regard to tho length of his tarriance in the country, and although ho intended soon to abandon her forever, and afterward to forget her entirely, as ono who had yenned a play thing for an idlo hour, even his cold and selfish heart was touched; some latent feelings of honor and uprightness wore aroused, 'SERI he sometimes felt as if Ito could sacrifice fortune, rank, and brilliant prospects in his own land, to reign lord of tho true and noble heart which loved hint wi.h such eutiro ileirotiou. • But, unfortunately, in the boson - trio( worldly mon, such feelings maintain but short sway; and in the callous breast which for a moment harbored them, they soon ceased to exert any influence. How true it is that men who would scorn to commit a dishonest, of a mean act where their fellows are concerned, will yet deceive a woman in the g l rossest and 1 00 , t dishonorable manner, and not only without com puneiirml but often vAtli a feeling akin to congratulation, ~T , . ,• . . ~.,.,,..i..„.,.,.„.„,,_,,„,,_, , ...,,..„,.„..-.... ”, ..i... .- . .'. ..-,.-, .. -. :. • - 1 ,, ' • E , , - ... . . .11 - ~ . , .. . . .. - ....,- . ,.. i - .: .. 1 ._ 1 , . ._..,., .• . . . ,• . . ... in view of the adroitness with which they have led on their unhappy victim. stop by stop, until her ruin is au complished. Sir William sustained a high reputation among his temporary associates as an honorable and just man; saki in the porformanco of all his promises, and generous to a fault; and yet he could coolly meditate ono of the greatest atrocities of which a man could be guilty. Ho knew, and felt in his inmost soul, that ho could not in her case, apply the commonly received opinion that Indian girls profess attachment to white melt with a merely mercenary object; . and ho was aware - that his guilt was greatly enhanced thereby; still was his resolu tion unshaken to 'proceed towards her as ho had at first designed. • Towards midnight, his conference with the Indian maiden was iutrruptedhy the sudden entrance of Pahtnu tab. Waskamah immediately rose, and bowed to her father, saying in a low voice, "rots neon," (good night) and glided out of the tent. The chief added some fag gots to the fire, and eat down Upon the buffalo robes.— Sir William supposed, of course, that a long "talk" was contemplated by his surly captor, but to his astonishment, the.Saellem hastily, and without speaking a work, throw himself upon the ground,and in a few minutes was sound asleep. His guest soon imitated his example. Early on tho following morning the baronet was aroused by an unusual stir in the vicinity of the lodge, caused by the arrival of the two young Indians wit - 0 had been sent by rahmutah to the British fort for his ransom. Articles of every sort, calculated to please the fancy of Indians, blankets,' knives, paint, red cloth, powder and balls, a large keg of ruin, and a variety of _other matters, were spread upon the ground. Tho whole tribe was col lected around these baublei, and the usual taciturnity of the Imlian seemed, on that occasion to be forgotten, in the admiration excited by the view of so much finery.— ralimutah, for whom all this wealth was intended, alone appeared unmoved, although the twinkling of his keen black oyes indicated that ho was by no means tho least interested spectator *of the scene. When Sir William appeared,- the chief,with a cold and formal inclination of his body, presented him with a letter brought by his messengers from tho Governor of the fort, expressing regret that ho should have been de tained on his journey against his will; and assuring him of a hearty welcome at Vancouveri, Ho moreover prom ised to gond several men, with a boat, to moot him at Fort Nezporcos, two days journey front the Snake camp, from whence ho could reach Vancouver by water. When ho had closed the letter, ho was addressed in courteous terms by his captor, rho substance of which was rendered into EnglislAy Richardson. "The white chief," said Pahmutah. "may now go to his people who live on the big water. Toll the King George Chief that the heart of the Sachem of the Shoshones is warn, to wards him.and that after the next snow, he will carry to him so many beaver-skins that the backs of his young men shall bend under their load. Farewell! when the sun is - hero." pointing to the zenith, "the horse of the white chief shall be ready for hum, and two of my young braves shall show him the trail to the little wigwam of the King George people." The chieftlien stalked away, ac companied by several Indians carrying with them the much prized "property." Sir William and Richardson retired within the tent, and the latter observed that two Indians placed thorn- - selves on either side of the entrance: This he knew was a precaution to prevent his escape. and, as they seated themselves. he said to his compaistutt. ••....aptain, era you notice them two mat nave squatted close to our tent bore? Old Leather-back's afraid I'll got away, and ho wants to keep me, for ho is determined to stick that ugly knife of his into me sometime when he can take me unawares; but he'll find I'm too much for him, and careemrent him and all his tawny dovils,'and that too before two days aro over our heads; and if your mind holds to what wo know of, I'll take his pretty bird with rue; though, as I told you before, Captain, I don't like this job, and it's only because you've done me service that I consent to do it. No other man's money or friend ship either, shall ever make me do another such piece of work. I tell you I don't like it. •It sort o' goes against my conecience like." "Richardson." replied the other, "I know you will not desert rue now. Remember you have promised to aid me, and I depend upon you. 1 tell you again that if you were to live a hundred years, you never could oblige me so much, and but that 1 know 1 should not quicken your zeal by it, I would offer you any thing you could desire in exchange for this favor: Do not misunderstand me; I would not insult you by offering to hire your' sorytees, for that I know you would despise, but I assure you. that such is my &termini:Woe to possess this girl, that I would stay hero and take my chance, rather than run the risk of losing her." "Well, -well," grumbled the hunter, in a voice that scarcely reached the ears of his companion, "some men will sell their souls for money; others will risk perdition ' for a poor, weak piece of mortality. But for certain this is a nice girl, the more's the pity!, She'll break her heart when ho goes away. Sir William, this poor thing isn't like most of these Ingen girls." j"I know it, Rich ardson, and that's the very reason I want her. Now come, old friend, no more words about it but give me your band on our bargain, and say you'd meet me with leer at Walla-walla." "Well, Captain," answered the hunter, "their's my fist upon it, but I shall always think it the worst job I ever done. Ohl if my old- woman, j away off in Connecticut, knew of these debts, she'd say, 'Paul, you'd hotter never a'como home, since you've lost your charakter.' Captain, I hope you'll not take it-amiss, but this is the first Limo- I over played pimp, and it shall be the last lam determined." "Pooh, pooh, old fel low," replied. Sir William, "pimp indeed. That's non sense; you are only requested to do a service for ono of your bust friends; a service which he cannot possibly perform for himself, And which ho is compelled therefore to trust to your known courage, skill and iugonuity.— Will you start to night?" , "Yes, if I can got off with ' out being seen; but if not, to-morrow night for certain." At noon precisely, the noble charger -of the • baronet was brought, pawing, and champing the bit, to the front of its master's lodge. .110 gave his hand to Richardson, and bowed low to the chiefs and others assembled, but ho looked in vain-for rho object who occupied all his theist. She was nowhere to be seen; and in a moment, two mounted Indians,--in ono of whom he rejoiced to recog nize the suitor of Waskatnah—dashed up and joined him as atmpagnons du rogags. Tho next instant the trio loosed their reins, and away went the throe horsemen at a rapid center out of the camp. Richardson turned on his heel when the party diaap s peered, and sauntering towards the tent Sir William had left, entered it and looked around him. In one corner he observed a bundle of blankets which appeared to have been carelessly thrown there, without object; but he was startled to hear proceed from it a sigh which seemed heaved front the bottom of a stricken heart. Ho ap proached, and opening the bundle 'discovered Woke malt. She had stealthily entered the lodge when her lover had loft it, to witness his departure; and enveloped ha was gone, her•feelingfe overcame her, and she enveloped herself in the blankets as a mode of concealment. The good hearted hunter used every argument suggested by his very limited experience to comfort the suffering girl; representing the happiness she would experience, when she should rejoin her lever; but his heart smote bins for the falsehood, and he dared not think of the distress which moat soon overtake her. The poor man had never felt so unhappy. His life had beenchiefly spot in SATURDAY MORNING the wild forest, or on the boundless prairie. Ile had avoided communication with white men, excepting only so much as was necessary to prosecute his trade in furs; and ho was therefore almost a child of nature, and but sqlttly acquainted with the groat world, in the eyes of which, such a deed of wickedness as that in which he was then engaged, is looked upoli as a mere peccadillo. and undeserving of serious rebuke. .1 Long was their conference, in tho course of which their plans for absconding were thoroughly canvassed; and it was decided that if no suspicion appeared to excited in the tribe, they would conimonce their journe • that night. Richardson knew that on that evening Pah-', ' iuntah.had promised a grand repast to all the men of the camp, in which the rum, received as a part of the ran som, would circulate so freely that every Indian would necessarily be drunk; and as tho tent of old Sagomocte was at some distance from the village, he hoped easily to escape the surveillance which the chief had not failed, until this time, to keep upon him. Ile was aware of the necessity of great caution in order to avert suspicinn of his intent; and ho therefore quietly retired, at an early hour in the evening, to the lodge of his adopted father. Ile , found the old man, as he had anticipated, sound asleep; and, roiling himself in his blanket Ito throw him - self on the ground as if to do likewise. -Ho had lain por ter quiet, and in a profound slumber, for more than tw hours, when the noise of tho revellers in the village reached his ear. They had, as he supposed, been drink ing for a considerable time, but now their habitual and much boasted taciturnity was overcome by the influence of the potent liquor. All were talking, laughing and yelling at the same time, interlarding their drunken liar. angues with whoops and screams, until at length the up roar resembled n perfect pandemonium. The moment had arrived which had boon expected, and anxiously yoked- for by tho hunter; he knew that tho Indians wore now so thoroughly engaged that nothing unconnected with their insane orgies, would oven bo thought of; and that for a considerable time after the termination of the feast, not a man in the camp would ho capable of corn prolionding any thing; so he quietly rose, and mentally bidding adieu to tho kind hearted old man, who still lay in a sound sleep, ho glided with a noiseless, but 'rapid step out of the lodge, and under cover of the . darkness, entered the tent of Pahmutah. In loss titan a minute ho emerged, holding the young Indian girl by the.. hand; and the two quickly disappeared among the willows on the margin of the river. 13=33:11 Fort 'Walla-walla. or Fort Nozporcos,—(the latter name being derived from the Pierced-nass' Indians, a tribe residing near the sources ache Walla-walla river.) is ono of tho trading posts of the Hudson's Bay Compa ny, tributary to Fort Vancouver. It is situated on a san dy plain at the junction of the Walla-walla and the Ore gon; or Columbia River. The fort is built of drift wood, there being no standing timber within twenty or thirty miles. It has two bastions on the diagonal corners, which command the place in every direction. The fort is surrounded by a stockade formed of large logs twenty feet in length; so that it is, in fact, a rathoratrong place. and one !calculated to stand a long siege against the weak mid ineflic out implements of war in the posses sionil of the India s'iu the vicinity. At the time o i Sir William's visit, such was the con fidence of the su p erintendent in his savage neighbore, .._..,.a woot ga l iti &mowu aurniilllay open. and Ina in . diens, in numbers far exceeding that of the very small garrison, had froo ingress and egress. The baronet was kindly greeted by the commandant, who had received orders from the governor relative to him, by the hands of two Canadians sent to form his I escort to tho lower country. Wahconza And - the other Indian were dismissed with appropriate presents. Ho had taken a particular dislike to the former,.wbo evident. ly entertained no friendly feelings for white men. He was exceedingly taciturn; and during the journey, scarce ly vouchsafed a word to his former captive, except to consult him with reference to the localities of their sever al camping grounds, but had he harbored the slightest suspicion of the plot formed to abduct his betrothed, it is certain that the white man would never have been heard of by his friends residing in the lower country. A few days after his arrival, as Ito was returning from a eporting,exeursion, loading his horse laden with the game whiCh he had killed, his Indian attendant pointed to a l eanee up the "big river," (the Columbia.) exclaim ing, "Passiooks." (white moot—literally, Mast man.) Sir William's heart beat quick; and as ho passed, with, his loaded animal, towards the fort; ho frequently•turned and surveyed the approaching canoe, with en anxiety he did not attempt to conceal. 'Giving We horse to a Cana dian. who stood ready to receive it, ho returned hastily to the beaclyand in-a few minutes tho canoe had approach. ed so near that he could distinctly discover a white man and an Indian woman. A moment more, and ho was pressing to his . bosom the beautiful "Roso of the She shones." who returned his caress with a heart overflow ing with tenderness, while the warm tears of joy coursed rapidly down her sun-burned cheeks. The baronet expressed his obligations to Richardson by a hearty grasp of the hand, and the now comers were soon introduced within the fort. The girl was consigned to the care of the Indian wife of the superintendent, and Sir William and the hunter retired to ono of tho unfre quented bastions to consult with regard to their future movements. "Richardson," began the baronet, after they were seated, "you-have managed this affair admirably; and I know not how to requite you for the inestitnablo service you have rendered 1116. "Captain,'! replied Alio hunter, "I don't know that you owe me much, for I intended to get oil myself. and I , had but little trouble with the girl, for sho's the smartest critter in a canoe I ever saw. and as cunning as a fox.— Once we thought the 'tarnal Suakee bad smelled us out, and were on our trail, but it proved to - be a false alarm; Olio saw the tracks first, and she made herself scarce so sudden, that I myself could hardly have found her. 1 followed the trail a little ways, and soon saw the blue skins that made it; they were two , Ranneeks that were a hnntin, Elk along the river: so, as soon as llound ,em out, I got away without their seeing me.

"Why I got reknit in the nick of time;" replied the hunter, "and if it had been a real good work I had in my bead, I should have thought that the "Great Spirit." —as the Ingens vall our father up above,—had helped me; but Captain, I don't believe he helps any body that—" "Never mind moralizing Richardson," interrupted Sir William, "but tell me. without circumlobution, if you can, how you managed to elude the; chief.': "Captain, 1 don't understand your big words,! growl ed the bunter, "but you must let nro tell my story in my ownjway. only don't worry, me. and I'll tell you all about it in a few minutes.
