Macaulay, “Mike, what kind of d night would this be for fire-shooting,’’.said the dootor to. that medi tative Nimrod, who, was busy sewing up a moccasin by the light of the camp-fire, after a week of travel. “So, : so,” replied Mike, without lookiua up. “I am going, I think.”; , , . ■: No answer., Mike put on the mended moc .casin, .and drew off the other., , , “Do you think we can kill anything?” “S’pose,” replied Mike. “Come, Charlie, lot us try it for a- little while.” This was all ruse on the part of Poke, in f der to make Mike think our great hunt was i unpremeditated affair, and thereby increase ,fl glqry of killing so much game.'

' ' “Fudge: if there was no one to laugh at us, I would have turned back long ago. Give me the gun, and you take the light." Accordingly we changed positions, I going ahead, carrying the torch before me, in such d manner that it would throw the light ahead as much as possible, and. none on our persons, and the Doctor received the gun and took my place directly behind, and shaded by my per son. , The night had become still darker, and a misty, rain commenced falling. Wo had left the pine woods after walking a couple of miles, and had come into a grove of low tim bor: The long moss dropped in curtains, 1 the odor of magnolio’s burthenod the air, and ove ry mi P u te a copse would force us to turn aside from our route. “Hush,” whispered the Doctor, suddenly with a spasmodic pull at my coat tail,“there’s a deer.” j I was just wondering at this absence of deer, and could not account for it, as it was a rare thing to go a mile in Florida without seeing one. “Where,” Iwhispered; “I don’t see it.'' “Hush! it has gone now; but wo will see it in a moment again.” Fe advanced on tiptoe, both, in body and expectation. .V ■ "v‘There! there!” said the Doctor, pointing With his finger n little distance to the left; but the luminous' spot was gone before 1 had hardly got my eyes on it. ’ We were in the very place for deer. A heavy wind-fall lay ahead of lis, and the min gled trunks and twisted branches looked like the. chcvaux dejrise, to some, groat encamp ment. The flickering light made the shadows move back and forth with a spectral effect, as though dancing, and this hush of the forest was unbroken by any sound. Every moment I expected to see again the two phosphores cent stars, that indicate the deer’s eyes, and then the trite'Shot would bring us the prize for pur |abor. It seemed a long time in com ing again. , "f -. “That deer must bo very shy,” whispered the Doctor, just above his breath. , , _ The next time I saw it first. It was toihe distance ahead, and there were two; just be fore I could point them out -tp my comrade,, they had disappeared. Presently, wo saw it on one side pf us.- ” , . “Charlie, that is a will-o’-the-wisp;” said _PCke, in rather a subdued time; “or the dev il > who eyer heard ..of a, deer going around “He is examining you to see what manner of man you are.” “Perchance it is some spirit of a departed buck, leading us to a wild chase to destrov us.”. . - , i . “There it is, right-behind mo, as I live!” ejaculated the Doctor,'in'evident trepidation. - Sure enough', as I turned my head, I saw the two' blue lights that indicate the reflecting, lenses, ;bf the-eye; Tlu; Doctor -was taking aini, but -1 noticed It -was not very- steady.' ■ Ho, pul led the trigger—a dull snap announced a miss' fire, :. Ho- tho -hthcr-friggor— it: snapped in wot o 1 provoking?” said' Poke; aaVthe eyes vanished .in tho darkness. : 1 “If it.-is.the devil; ho'will have you now,” “How can you talk so?” said the Doctor, with a strong emphasis on the “can;” ■ “There is your deer, Poke; inthe windfall,” said I, as I caught sight of the eyes moving rapidly, along over the mass of timber'that lay heaped and knotted together. .: “That’s no deer," said Poke; ,“nO cloven foot could go over that windfall that way. I would rather see the night huntsman of the Hartz mountain, than see those eyes ■ again,” As ho was speaking,'l saw,in the inky dark ness ahead of us/another pair of eyes, and two -or - three pairs on the loft.' The - truth flashed on mo. Th6.scarcity of the deer, - the proximity of the'windfall, the restlessness of those baleful eyes, all gave me the clue—the wolves were around us. A word to Poke, and the affair was-ex plained,.and we stood 1 still for ' consultation. : We tried new caps on our guns; but if was of no use—the cones wore saturated with water.. Wo turned toward the camp, but in our con fusion we forgot the direction; To heighten the misery of the scene, bur torch was 'almost burnt out; let that die and the rest' could be easily divined. Wo wore standing at the time under a grove of small pecan trees, and at that instant; o low snort was heard from the shadow, near us, like the cough of a dog. ■ Poke did not say’a word,' but, dropping.the gun; and seizing a limb of .one Of the trees over his head, _ with an agility for. which I had: never given him the least credit; elevated him self to the crotch, about ten feet from .the ground. ~ ■' ' I did not want to do anything of the kind,' of course mit; I would rather have placed my back against a tree, and won a glorious death m. battle,, against my numerous foes, but, alack! for a bad example,,, I .dropped : .tho ; torch, which broke in pieces' in falling; and' clasping the nearest tree, which happened to; bo a medium sized gum tree,,soon scrambled to a place of safety.

Poke suggested that they were/ phanton wolves, and declared, they wore all white. All the fearful stories that I had ever.read' came coursing through. my brain. I saw Snow-buried huts snuffed out and ravished by these prowlers, and heard the shriek of the child, thrown from the sleigh by its fear-mad dened mother, and many ah old dream re shaped in my mind the terrors of nights of fever. Were we to be tired out by their dev ilish patience? Was one gang torclievonno ther until we wearily fell .into their hot-taint edjaws, thus to be hurled into oblivion? I shouted, in the hope that someone might hear me; but what good to shout in the mid night forest? 1 1 heard a voice—ft was Poke saying his prayers. I listened devoutly, blit could offer none myself. When, he had finished I called to him. He answered faintly— “ What is it? speak quickly; I can’t hold on ;nuch longer.” ' . "Fire your, pistol; do try; it may bring help, even if it does not.kill.” p ,? “I will try," answered Poke. , , There was a momentary pause,, and then the. sharp crack of* a pistol was followed by the singing of a bullet close by my oar. By the flash I saw Poke, hatless and almost coat less, hanging on to the topmost branch of a young pecan, that bent with him like ph or ange tree under a heavy load of fruit. 'With, the report of the pistol there Was a- scramble among the voracious crew at. our-feet;' but they did not go,away prematurely, and were back in a moment. , “Fire the other , barrel, dear Pokej blit try and fire it the Other way—point it down.” “Bang! sounded the pistol, and 1 heard a thump on the ground, as the poor fellow threw away the now useless weapon. “Hold on; Poke ;' take heart, my dear boy.” “Oh, it is very easy to say take heart, but, when the tree bends a little more than usual, lam within a foot of these hell-hounds..

Mr, Davidson.of; Indiandla, that a painful rumor was brought: to that place on Saturday last, by a returned 1 : Pike’s Peaker, of a severe Indian fight, some) three weeks since, on'the Solomon, about one hundred miles above Fort Riley, in which about three hundred Pottowatomies and Dela wares were killed. The informant says, he passed directly through the scene of the fight,' that the dead were all scalped, I 'and supposed the.other party to have been Chyennes, Afra pahoes, &0., who were known to have been in. that vicinity at that time. The murderodln dians are supposed to ho a party of some three or-fonr hundred Pottowatomies, half-breeds,: and Delawares, that wont from that vicinity a short time previous to the Rumored battle, for the-purpose of huntinghuffalo. Amongthem were’ Messrs. Lo Flumbeau, Beaubion,. Ogee, ■ Darling, and_ several other prominent Indians, well known, in this vicinity, who accompanied ! the expedition for the sake of the excitement; and pleasure which it promised. The fight was witnessed by a couple of pio neers, who were at the time hunting bufmlo,! arid was described by, them as being a fearful" scene. The combatants numbered some thou sands, were all mounted, and kept constantly ' circling, lying down in their saddles, and fir-, ing over their horse’s nocks as they approach ed the enemy. The, fight lasted .two hours. Quite a number were killed—their informants did not know how'mafty—and at the end of that time:the', Pawnees 'broke, and ran; with the Chyennca after ,them. In addition to the above irifonnation.Mri B. informs us. that' groat excitement’ prevails throughout the frontier settlements, on account of Indian depredations—that many whites had been, killed,;, also,: that ho. met many families on thoir way to the larger settlements, carry ing with them the entire household goods, having abandoned their homes, their crops, and_ everything"they could not. carry. Com panies wore being made up at Manhatton, Junction City, &c., for pursuing and chastis ing these wild Indians, who have never be fore pressed the settlements, so close as now. It is hoped that the commandan ts of the forts will take thi.s in hand‘immediately. ; The set tlement ot tho country on the Republican and Solomon Forks .had boon rapidly progressing this season,; and‘those disturbances, unless speedily chocked, will prove very serious in their oncots.upon the country. ' : Messrs,'XiO Fiumboau and others spoken of above, have since been heard from, ail safe. The rumor, of a fight is confirmed, but nopar- ioulars received. ; Topeka (Kansas) Eecord, Aug. 4.
