In the Fall of 187(1, writes a correspond ent cf the Now York JYtic, while sitiinp in the porch of the hotel in Santa Fe, New Mexico, a parly of twelve hwrsetuea ap proached. Thfeir horses were jaded and gaunt as from a long and ditiicult journey. The riders were dresaed in buckskin over fchiris, cavalry punt?, heavy bootn and large Mexican spurs. Dinuouniing at the hotel, the horses and men were cared for. A tall, blitn, hickoty-iron sort of a man, who seemed to be leader, made ar mngements aside with the landlord. After supper, falling into conversation with the patty, I learned, in the cuurse of the evening, that they were a pnrly of prospectors Pent out to the mountains ii the northern patt of New Mexico and Arizona, iu lite interest of a company of St. Louid capitalists. The captain, as he proved to Le, and so I shall hereafter call him, waa tin celuca ted man, and a member of the company, and went o:j this perilous and toilsome ex pedition to fcat'isfy a roving and restless disposition. They had gone beyond their intended limit at starling, and they pene trated into the edge of the Apache country, They had numerous fights with the Indi ans ; but, being all old Indian fighters, had brought all their t umber back, though, not without some ugly scats. At one time their whole number were taken prisoners by a midnight surprise and double their number of Apaches. They were held prisonets two days, and march ed toward the Apache chief town, where they were to form the subject of a grand rofsf. Lut, the second night, they escap ed by a stratagem, taking with them the leader of the Apache band, whom they after released on certain conditions. This leader is the bloodthirsty Apache chief, the chief who murdets men, women aud children. The white party, before their escape, understanding Borne of their captors' lan guage, unknown to them, learned, from a let fall here and there, that the In dians had knowledge ot sumo . .ul miti-s, which the specimens that they had with them showed ; but, from the desulto ry character of the remarks, could not learti the location of the treasure, and it was to this fact that the chief owed his life. This chief they spared when mak ing their escape, at which time they sent tf.i rest of the band to their long hemes. They promised thu chief his life and liber ty if he would ihow thctn ths "'Golden Mountains," and tell them the "sacred legend of his fathers," which seemed to be in some way associated with the Golden Mountain. To this Le finally assented, as the piico of his life and liberty. The riches of the Golden Mountain are even gteater than the extravagant stories of the savages had led them to believe ; but it is located in the heart of the Apache country, and utterly inaccessible till the Apaches are subdued. The guarding of this Golden Mountain, the keeping of the whites out of gold fields of absolutely ines timable wealth hoarded and piled up in the mountains of Arizona, is the first aud greatest causa of the implacable hostility of the Apaches, even greater than the sec ond cause revenge. This cheif showed them this wealth, guarded by the whole Apache nation, of which Captain is prepared to take possession, with mills and mining apparatus, .as soon as the Apaches are f ubdued. The chief gave them his legend, and thej', as nun of honor even to a captive, set him free. 'And the legend,' fays the captain,- 'it being late, I'll give you in the morning." 'So, here's to bed. Good night ' In the morning lha captain and I walk ed apart on the outskirts of the towr, to a grassy knoll, and sitting tbere he rela ted to me lha following 6lrune, weird story. A party of Apaches, while lying in am bush one day in the latter partof Decem ber, 1825, in Chihuahua, Mexico, on the Ilio Grande, across tin liver from what is t:ovr the towu of Fasso, Texas, watch ing a traveling eavalcado as it passed a clump of small trees, saw one of the num ber spring from his horse into the denso chapparel and dUappear from the view of the horsemen. The cavalcade tired a few shots at or toward him, and a half dozen of them dismounted and pursued in the direction he took, but of no avail. The escaping man ran directly toward where the Apaches lay in the bushes, and ran into their midst. They seized and bound him, mounted, and lashed him to a horse, and at once took flight. They traveled toward the Apache chief town by a cir cuitous and concealed route, and reached it after six days travel. The prisoner was much alarmed at first but, finding that his death was not to bo immediate, he seemed to put his mind to stud ing out sotneplan of escape; but they kept him securely bound till they arrived in camp. 'J hen they decided to keep him until a grand -fete day, some months ahead, and then put him through the gauntlet and end his life in a grand carnival. lie for some time was as rest less us a captive bear, walked up and down his small inclosure and talked to himself incessantly. Hut before the day arrived for his taking oil' this is the cap tain's term, not the Indian's he had become somewhat resigned to his captivi ty, had learned something of the Apache language, and gave I hem something of his history. They got interested in him, and promised to give him his life in return for his solemn promise (hat he would never attempt to escape. lie mairied the chief's daughter, an.?, on the death of the chief, became chief himself. He had four suns and a daughter. The oldest son became chief in his turn, and is the chief who is the subject of our story. The white chief taught them, while among them, the fecrels of the Great Spirit, and these secrets have enabled them to make the Apaches the strongest tribe in the West; to pass through the country of the white nihil in safely every where ; to obtain information of their en emies and their movements always, and from their very enemies themselves ; and, by pass-words and signs, to know an ene my or a friend as far as seen. They al ways have kept and still keep one of their educated half-breeds in the camp Of t he whites, and, by the secrets of this g?3at society, he is always able to keep them informed of every movement of any kind, and of every plan of attack on them, as soon as that plan is known to the chiefs of the enemy themselves. Af.i1, when captured, they are almost always sure to effect an escape, released by eomo mem ber of the society among the er.r tny. The great white chief told them that the society extended all over the world ; taught them all the ceremonies connected with it; taught this maiden to mako the badges and insignia worn by the initiated, and on cet tain days, the 24th day of J une, and some other?, ihey walked in pioces sion, and held a grand dance at night They believed him to be the son of the Great Spirit. Ha is buried at the Gold en Mountain, anil his grave is walled atid covered with gold, and is their sacred place of worship. They gather t:ow every j ear on Iho "24th of June. This griiat white chief told them that lie was ':moods" (months) on his journey from his startiiijT point : that he was taken prisoner in l'atavia, N. Y. , and from there taken to and confined in Fort Ni agara, in the latter part of September of the same year in which he came to the Apache country. The reason of his imprisonment vas on account or tits goiu iu ouiuu a. bout divulging the secrets of the gteat society. He was kept prisoner at Furl Niagara till September 19, when ho was taken in a close carriage and driven, via Iiuffalo, N. Y., to Hennepin, 111 , on the Illinois river, and thence taken in a flat boat to the Mis sissippi river, down which he floated to New Orleans. There he was placed on a vessel and sailed to the mouth of the Uio Grande river, and proceeded up that river on horseback to LI Paso, where the Apach es found him. His captors intended to give him into tiiu hands of some Jesuit priests among the Indians, near where they captured him. His captors passed down through Mexico and escaped. That great white chief was the man supposed to have been murdered by the Masons, Wil liam Morgan, and the subject of this story, his son Conchise.

The following incidents of supernatural occurrence are as far within my own per sonal knowledge as it is possible to be without being the actual object of the ex traordinary interferences narrated. There was residing, some years ago, at ah insignificant town in the Northern Counties, a widow lady who occupied a small house alone with her young children. The even calmness and self-possession of her disposition, the absence in her of ev erythir.g approaching nervousness or hys teria, and her extreme good sense, would eytiiely dissipate any suspicion of weak ness or unusual susceptibility of mind, or of her possessing tendencies befitting Lei, according to popular notions, to be the subject of any spiiitual or supernatural revelation. Sue was sleeping, or rather di zing in a half-unconscious stale, in bed, with one of her childun, at night, when sho felt her reason overpowered by an ovei mastering influence, as though she were seized with a lit. Immediately there was presented to her mind a vision of ter rible ellstinciness. She saw thrte men struggling desperately in the w ater of sou e deep and rapid stream, and iu all the ag onic of the last gasp for li.'o The vision was but momentary, but sufficient for her to observe distinctly and v.iili minuteness the despaii ingly distorted features of each in a manner so vivid and impressive that they were never ili'.ccd in all their clear ness from her memory. On returning to consciousness, the feeling of renlity cre ated was so exciting that she was unable to obtain any further rest ; but dressing heiself, soent the remainder of the night . r in pasiing about the house, iu ureat per turbation of mind, in the endeavor to re cover from the terrifying effects of her vi sion. When daylight boan to dawn, the opened the shutters of a lower room look ing on to the town street, and before clos ing the window observed a person, whom she reecgnizL-d, running hastily down the stieet. He told her that just then the bodies of three drowned tnen were being taken out of the river adjoining the town. Deeply allected with the coincidence, she sought 'it'd obtained an opportunity of viewing the corpses during the Jay. 'i hey were those of three strangers to the vicin ity, who, engaged in somo poaching ven ture in the neighborhood, and being pur sued, had plunged into the fiver, which, small in other places, was there deep, rapid and unfordable, and had so met with their death. In them she recognized at once the very faces that had been so plain ly represented lo her mind in her vision of the night prevtuus. In another case, a married lady, resid ing in u remote country disttict in Lin colnshire, had bt stowed her charity, aud taken a deep interest in a poor and fi land less stranger-woman, who, advanced in years, had seen better days, and who, struggling with starvation, persistently re fused to apply for, or receive, parish as sistance. Her great fear a dread which haunted her perpetually was that after death she would be submitted to the in dignity of a pauper's burial. On this theme she continually dwelt to her bene factor, and she extracted from her a sol emn promise that after d?at!i she would secure for her a deceut and respectable in terment. The hops of obtaining a Utile present aid for neceisities led her a short distance away from her friend for same length of time. During this period, in the middle of one night, whilst the lady was passing from her own chamber to her children's nursery, she suddenly saw on the landing lctvon iL two rooms, with great dis tinctness, what she took to be the form of her old dependant, who had for some time escaped her memory, regarding her with a look of most anxiduj supplication. The reader will, of course, guess the sequel of the story, which is, however, a veritable fact. Whan the lady with her husband on the following day, deeply impressed with this circumstance, sought out the lit tle hut in which the poor woman had been a resident since her removal, they found the parish assistants preptirtng her corpse for its funeral, and the promise so singularly exacted thus strangely obtained its fulfil ment. There lived seme years ago in one of the large towns in the north, a lad, who, in his later years, was well known by many now living. l'jginning lifa as an errand boy in an office of large business, his met it soon became apparent and whs acknowledged ; and in the same ofiioc he ventually became a partner of the firm, he had served. 1 1 is only parent from in fancy was his mother, left in wretched circumstances in life, but toiling for, lov ing with an engrossing intensity of devo tion, and wholly wrapped in thn fortunes of her only son. His base indifference and disregard of her did not check, but seemed to heighten her afTection. In her son's prosperity, and her age, and the great infirmity induced by her privations, ihe was the inmnte of a public almshouse. Hut Lore her sola thought and conversa tion was of the son. Having at last be came bedridden, she was visited by the vicar of the parish one day, at a time after she had been supposed to ba uncon scious. He entered into conversation with hnr, and with a flood of tears but tears of resignation she told him that hor boy was dead, that she had 6een it nil that she had seen bis body drawn out of the sea, that vory afternoon, quite dead; and she contiuued rationally relating several incidents of the ecece which" 6he had sup posed she had witnessed. The u,ini;er soothingly converged with her, but left her in pity at the apparent derangement which possessed her. In the morning of the fol- lowing clay, however, he ws atoni.i.ieiI at a vifit from friends of tho poor sufi'er er, who wisheel him to break to her the dreadful tidings of her son's death. He had been drowned on the afternoon of the previous daj-, whil.-t bathing at a water ing place not far distant ; and on inquiry, many of the circumstances refcrted to by the widow in her conversation on the sub ject were found to have actually taken place, at the time of the recovery of the corpse.

The tnorr.it g was clear and frosty very frosty, indeed when a solitaiy cuss was observed wending his way toward a skating pond with a pair of skates under his aim, a tear on the end of his nose, and a clay pipe between his lips. Thai CUss was I, you bet? The skates that I carried under my arm were Ligh Dutch, very high Dutch. They bad a yard of iron turned up in front, and looked like sleigh runners. My great grandfather brought ihem over with him from the home of his childhood. Ha was a great skater. He could cut u bat tel of sauiktaut with those skates so nat ural that the b)Standeis were forced to hold their noses I My grandfather tried to cut the same and cut bis head. lie then put the skates in the hcr.-housc loft, nnd willed them lo my father. My lath er was a Fcnrii-y lvania farmer. He owned twenty acres of stouv land, two big hor ses, a five-story barn and one-story house. 1 hat's the way with all the Pennsylvania iarmeis. My father had never seen any ice in his life, only what foimedin hia rig trough duiing the winter, therefore rkales weie of very little use: to him, anJ he gave them to ma. And that's their pedigree. As I was wending tny way to the pond, with sail skates under my arm, numerous litt'i boys, as I passed them yelk-d as fullu ivs : 'Halloo, skates 1 where are you goin with that man V I didn't mind those little boys, but walked on lo the pond where I found nu erous chaps and feminiue females cutting duplex circles and American eagles. Some were also cutting their head?, 1 put on my high Dutch ekates, ami resolved to show the chaps how to do the thing up brown. Arose to my feet and fo.md the ice rather slippery one foot wanted to go north and the other south. Made a grand strike out with both feet, and cut a beautiful ciic'e cn the back of my head. Some chap picked rae up, and I fell better, and struck out ajain ; struck out ery f.-t, couldn't slop myself, but kept straight ahead. It was "skafes,' where are you goir.gwilh that m-.n:" sure' e. tough ; and theie was a festive fern. aid in high heeled boots coniir.g straight to wards roe in a chain lightning manner; Unless she got out of my road a colli.-iion must surely take plu. e. She didn't get out of my toad, and, oh, what a smash! We were both going under a full head t.f steam when we came together, and when we were t icked up we were forty five vards a: ;ttf. When I was a little fellow, and went to school, mid slid down hdl on a boatd, I read some pieco, in some little book with a yeilow cover, about n chap vrho tried to do something six limes, and didn't do something six times. Then he saw a spi ekr try to do something seven times, and he, the chnp, concluded he'd try once more, lie trieil and succeeded. The book didn't say what the chap was' trying to do, but it said when I "got to be a big mau l el find out." I've got to be a big man, and I ain't found out yet. But I've male up my mind that he, the chap, not the spider, waa Irjing to skate, and cut his Lead six times before he leai ed. When I was picked up, after niy colli sion with ths festive female in high-heeled boots, I remembeied this book, and this man. and this spider ; and I said to my self I'd be like those man and those spider, and i'lry again 1" Tried again and got along first-rate ; was about coming to the conclusion that I was a better skater than my great-grandfather had been, or any other loan. Un dertook to cut an Araeiican eagle and was foicdd to sit down cu lli8 icu, aid I sat down very hard. I've had chairs pulled from under me by festive eusss when I was about to take a seat ; I've sat down in low chairs when I thought they were high ones ; and I've sat dv-wn in many other ways; but none of those sit downs were anything ta lhat sit down on "the ice, when I was tryiug to' cut an American eagle. In fact, it was the hardest sit down I ever had in my life. Concluded to be like a mnn and a spider and try once mora.
