Captain McLean, of the Rifles, was re,
turning from Santa Fe toFortDefiance with
seventeen mounted riflemen and a few
friendly Indians and Mexicans under Cap

march of Fort Defiance, he discovered a
large body of Indians attempting to sur
round him. lie forthwith dismounted his
men and attacked the Indians, who had
signified by their war-whoop their intention
of attacking his force. He led the attack,
and at a distance of three to four hundred
yards killed sacral Indians and die
per,ed the rest. A party of them, who
gained McLean's flank, opened a sharp fire
„r arrows and bullets- McLean was badly
wounded, supposed at the time mortally.

"NA T I;RA LS " ox A Tuu R. —,.A corr6pon
dent of the New Orleans Picayune narrates
the following incident of a recent journey
of Professors Agassiz, Felton and Dr. Holmes,
-the Autocrat," to the White Mountains:
"The party was so numerous as to require
a special conveyance for their transporta
tion from Conway to the Crawford House.
This conveyance was a large country wagon,
drawn by a team of flue Green Mountain
horses, and driven by a sturdy son of the
Granite State.
''The day was one of the finest of the
season, and admirably adapted fur such an
excursion, and every one, after hi, special i ty
seemed to'take the keenest delight in its
incidents.
.Occasionally the geologist would
spy out some curious conformation or re
markable specinlets: of rock, and would in
sist on the driver stopping tell him
a..owto
alight and investi,gato This would often
consume much tune, and it more than once
occurred that the impatient Jchu was
obliged to remind the deeply absorbed
party that the day was wasting, and that
they had a long ride before them.
"In the height of his impatience, the
depth of his despair, and the estremity of
his perplexity, he turned to Lis companion
on the bo.‹ fur Prof. F., 'I should remark,

of his brethren.
"'What on nirth's the matter with them
men, Squire?' somewhat petulantly demand

a big daiidylion, or thistle in the road?—

Grecian, 'they arc naturalists.'

Bostonians. As they rattled along the
turnpike through the Notch, one of them

"'Pretty nigh,' replied our Jehu of the
wagon. •1 had a queer party along, the
other day—the last before you. I never
see :Itch a set of fellows!'
"'What were they like?'
"'Like? Like loonatics, more'n anything
else 1 know on! Why, I thought I should
never git up to Crawford's. Every once in
a while they'd stop the team, and jump out,
and pick up a stone, or pull up a weed, and
then one of 'cm would preach a long sermon,
and when he'd done, all the rest would
chatter over it, and it was e'en a most as
much as I could do to git 'em into the

The Last Victim of the Gauntlet
An imperial rescript, bearing the date
of the 20th of August, 1854, and the sig
nature of the Emperor Francis Joseph of
Austria, has abolished forevermore, within
the realms of the Austrian Empire,
that terrible chastisement, running the
gauntlet. Terrible it was indeed; a cruel
and barbarous remnant of those dark and
dismal tin.es called the middle ages. I
witnessed the last execution of this kind,
and record it fur the benefit of those who
s till cling with a strange fondness even to
the worst legacies of bygone centuries.
On an autumn morning in the year 1851
the garrison of the fortress of Theresien
stadt, on the Eger river, in Bohemia, was
formed in a large square on the spacious
place before the residence of the comman
dam. In the middle of the square, drawn
up in a file, stood a company of a Rifle
Battalion, to which the delinquent belonged.
It was unarmed, each private (there were
three hundred) being provided with a
switch, and placed at a small di , tance from
his next man. At the tenth stroke of the
clock the drums were beaten, and amidst a
silence deep and oppressive the prisoner
was marched into the square.
He was as fine looking a man as ever I
have set my eyes upon ; tall, powerful and
well formed. His handsome features, to
which a black moustache gave a bold and
martial expre,sion, shone forth in the full
glow and vigor of manhood, only they were
of a deadly paleness.
lie was a non-commissioned officer, and
during the last campaign in Italy, in IS4O
he had distinguished himself in such a man
ner that his superior officers had recom
mended him for promotion. Austria is
more generous than England towards those
that shed their blood in her service, and he
would have been made a commissioned
officer long since—in spite of his humble
origin and his poverty—if it had not been
for a fatal impediment. This impediment
was his own passionate temper; he was a
very choleric man ; harsh and brutal towards
his inferiors, morose and stubborn towards
I his superiors whenever they deemed it neces
sary to check or rebuke him. Ile ivas hated
by the men to the utmost. There was not
a private in the whole battalion that had
not vowed him revenge. He had never
made one friend, nor did ho care to have
Strict in the:performance of hie mil
tary iscrvice—the most minor duties of
which he discharged with the utmost ex
actnes--he went his own way, proud,
re.erved, solitary. Innumerable were the
pani-hments which he hml brought upon
they men ; for however slight the offence
might be, he was sure not to pass it over in
silence.
Ilis superior officers respected him for his
usefulness, his ability, and his exactitude ;
but they did not like him. The evident
lack of humanity in the man mado him an
object of doubt rather than of love. More
over, there was a vagu a rumor about his
having once struck at his own ofllcer in the
midst of a pell-mell caused by a hand-to
hand encounter with the enemy. The re
port never took a clear shape, the officer
inn ing been killed in the engagement, and
the gossippings of a few wounded. sohlieas
having been much too incoherent and con
tradictory to lead to a formal investigation
of the the matter; besides it was at the vic
tory of liovarra. He had greatly distin
guished :himself, and old Field Marshal
Radetzky had—with his own hands—affixed
the golden medal on his breast. The ru
mor, however, together with the knowledge
of his harsh and violent temper, caused his
name to be erased from the list of those
that were' TCCOMM ended for higher promo-
When this incident was made known to
him, he became even more sullen, more
rigid, more cruel than ever ;• but always—
as it was well understood—for the benefit of
the service; the slightest demands of which
he performed with the same immutable
strictness as he enforced them to be done
y others
A few weeks previous to the dreadful pun
ishment which he had now to undergo, he
was mounting guard in the outworks with
some twenty or twenty-five men of his own
company. It was a chilly, rainy night:
am], when the sentries were relieved, they
were glad to stretch themselves—wet as
they were—upon the floor near the large
stove in the middle •of the guard-room.
The floor not 'being very clean,' (floors
seldom are in these localties,) and the
white uniforms of the men being wet, it
was no wonder that the dirt adhered to
them with a tenacity that defied all exer
tions to get it off, when the wearers were
roused by the serjeant to prepare for stand
ing guard once more. The more they tried
to rub their clothes clean, the more sturdily
lie lent a helping hand to their endeavors by
an application of the sad equipment of
every Austrian non-commissioned officer—
the stick. "Whilst he was fully at work,
cutting away at the men with a powerful
arm, the door opened, and the officer on
duty entered the guard room.
" Attention!" commanded the serjeant ;
and, saluting his superior, made the usual
report that nothing worth remarking had
happened. The officer, a young ensign,
fresh from the military school, and almost a
Loy, took no notice whatever of this impor
tant news, but asked the sergeant in a brisk
and somewhat impetuous manner:—
" What he was again striking the men
for?"
The serjeant already much ;annoyed at
this interference gave a surly and unwilling
answer; and, when the young officer re
buked him, in a severe and perhaps some
what haughty manner, the violent and
passionate man, losing all self control, lifted
up his hand against his officer.
It was but one fatal moment, quick as
lightning. The uplifted hand never de
scended; it was caught by a dozen power
ful arms. Ile was felled to the ground, and
disarmed. half an hour afterwards he
found himself in irons in the casemates.
Lifting the arm against a superior is con
sidered a capital crime. In this case it had
been committed whilst both parties were on
duty, and the Austrian Military laws are
the very last in the world to be trifled with.
The following day he was tried by court
martial, and sentenced to be shot. When
the sentence was forwarded to the compe
tent authority for ratification, it happened
to be the superior's anniversary day; capi
tal punishment was commuted, the criminal
had to run the gauntlet.
A cruel act of grace was this commuta
tion! When the first sentence had been
read over to him, he had remained cold and
impassable ; not a muscle of his proud face
stirred. He did not fear death; he had
looked it in the face many a time without
flinching, and to die in the open air, pierced
by a dozen balls—a soldier's death—what
should he care much for that? But when
he was informed that he had to run the
gauntlet twice through his company, after
having been previously degraded, he trem
bled fur the first time in his life. He knew
of many a soldier who had run the gauntlet
thrice through a whole battalion, and not
been worse for it after all; he knew of some
that had even married afterwards, and
brought up families of children; he was
fully aware that the issue of this terrible
torture depended entirely upon the disposi-
tions of the men. Dreadful reflection !
Above all, he thought of the shame, the dis
honor—and his proud heart was well nigh
giving way.
On the evening previous to the punish
ment, the Second Rifle 11.ittalion of K heren
holler Infantry would have been unfit for
service ; the men were drunk. They had
got up a carousal in joy and honor of the
coming day. But in the morning they were
sober enough. The drums ceased to beat
as soon as the prisoner had arrived in the
middle of the square; his escort fell back.
lie stood alone near the right wing of the
company. There was a dead silence; not
a respiration was to be heard from nll the
thousands gathered on the spot. The com
manding officer read the sentence over to
him for the second time. This done, be ex
horted the men according to custom, to dis
pense with all feelings of compassion, and
i to do their duty conformably to the law.
The colonel went through this part of the
formality in a quick and hurried manner,
as if he were unwilling to perform it. So
lie was; lie knew but too well that, in this
instance, there was no need whatever for
exhortation. These preliminaries being
over, the prisoner was delivered into the
hands of the provost.
'When the latter tore off from his Uniform
the golden lace and galloons—the marks of
his military rank—throwing them, together
with his gold medal, at his feet, the face of
the unfortunate man became purple, and his
dark eyes flashed fire. When he wits strip
ped of his coat and shirt, and placed at the
entry of the terrible street through which
be had to pass, he became pale again. Two
soldiers went ahead of him ; they marched
backward, with their bayonets presented to
his brea-t, ff so as to force him to .keep
measure to a drum which brought up the
rear. The drum was muffled; its slow and
dismal beats sounded like the music of a
funeral procession.
When he received the first stroke his fea
a,!-umed an expression of pain, and his
firm-set lips quivered slightly. This was,
however, the only sign of sensation. Cross
ing his arms over his breast and pressing
his teeth close together, his proud face re
mained henceforth immovable. his merci
less enemies enjoyed but an incomplete tri
umph after all ; they might slash his body
iu pieces, but his proud and indomitable
spirit they could not break. The blows de
scended with a fearful violence upon him.
After the first dozen, blood came ; but never
did he utter one single exclamation of pain ;
never—not even with a look, did he implore
for mercy. An expression of scorn and dis
dain was deeply set on his face, as pale as
death. When be had reachea at last the
left wing of the company, his lacerated back
presented a frightful appear:me'. Even his
most exasperated:enemies would have been
satisfied now; if it had but been possible,
the commanding officer himself would have
interceded in his behalf; but this was not
even to be thought of; the law must have its
course. They faced him right about; he
had to make the same way back again.
There was one formality connected with
this punishment which 11'119 a cruel, barbar
ous and 4uttneful mockery ; the delinquent
had to thank his executioners for his tor
tures.
When the victim had arrived at the file
leader of the right wing of his company,
and the dreadful execution was over at last,
be threw one la.st,Flong look, full of con
tempt, at his tormentors. Then he was
seen E•taggering like a drunken man towards
the commanding officer. llis eyes, swollen
with blood, beamed with an unnatural
brightness, his respiration was short and
painful; touching his head with his right
hand, in token of the military salute, he
said in a voice that carne out of his throat
with a rattling sound, but that was never
theless distinctly audible all over the place:
"I have to thank your honor for this ex
quisite punishment," and fell down dead.
A .NEw 'FRENCH Sroxv.—A charmingly
proper note of invitation to a ball was re
ceived, not long since, by young Monsieur
Gaillard, a handsome and agreeable bachelor
of twenty-five! With Baron d'A , the
giver of the ball, he was not aware that he
had the honor of acquaintance; but, sup
posing, as was frequently the case, that
some kind female friend had taken pains to
procure the invitation for him, he left his
card, with his acceptance, at the Baron's
door, the next day, according to etiquette;
and on the appointed evening, he presented
himself with the fashionable crowd.
Expecting, that, in the course of his pro
menades about the rooms, ho should meet
the friend to whose kindness ho was in
debted, he thought to begin the evening
properly by asking the daughter of his host
—to whom he had made his bow on entering,
led up by the master of ceremonies—for the
first quadrille.
Accepted as a partner, and chancing to
dance and demean himself with peculiar
elegance, he made unexpected progress in
the 'acquaintance, and ventured—a few
dances after—to ask her hand again.
Once more upon the floor with Made
moislle d'A , and the music changing
suddenly to a waltz, he again was favored
by Fortune; for, his speciality was to give
admirable support to his partner in that
particular movement of the dance. She
was borne around by him, as if buoyed:
baloon-like, in the air—feeling and looking
charmingly.
Briefly—that ball was the "ball set in
motion," for Monsieur Gaillard! He called,
of course, to pay his respects a few days
afterwards, and was graciously received.—
On the wholly unexplained mystery of his
being invited, both parties delicately for
bore to turn the inquiry. It would explain
itself, each thought, in (Inc time, and mean
time, he was an agreeable young man, en
tirely commc it flint in dress, manner and
conversation.
The proposal was made.
It was blushingly accepted.
Monsieur Gaillard stated his respecta
bilities of birth and connection, and that
was enough—for the Baron could well give
his daughter a fortune Where once her heart
had gone before.
The day of signing contract and :papers
came round.
"By the way," said the Baron, after all
was arranged, "my daughter's destiny seems
to have hung on this particular name. A
very old friend had written to me, propos
ing the hand of his nephew—another Mon
sieur Gaillard—and, for the sake of seeing
hint, we had sent him an invitation to the
same hall we had the pleasure of first seeing
you. As he did not make his appearance,
and sent no reply or excuse, we willingly
gave up so ill-bred a gentleman, and here
you are, in his proposed place! But my
daughter has, still, nominally at least, car
ried out her destiny. She is to be Madame
Gaillard, notwithstanding the non-appear
ance of the one originally intended for her.
The happyfianee saw through tho mys
tery, in a moment. The note of ievitation,
for the other Monsieur Gaillard, bid been
mistakenly left at his door!
But he was very careful not to explain 'he
enigma to the confiding Baron till alt‘r
ceremony.
