Mr. Deruelle was about 60 years of age, and a native of Nal. Jersey.— We have no information concerning the tithe and manner of his conversion. 'He studied theology at Princeton Seminary, and was Pastor of a Presbyterian Church in Pennsyl vania, and.afterwards in Trenton, New Jar say. Early in his ministerial life be attained rest success as a preacher. In the memoirs o Walter Lowrie, the missionary,it is stated in a letter written by 'this holy and devout young man to his father, when he was 'a stn dent at Jefferson College, Pennsylvania, that , a great revival was then in progress in the College, that they wereenjoying the preach ing of Mr. Deruelle, and that his labo9r had been blessed of God to the conversion of ninny of the students. At that time, he was pastor in Montrose, Pennsylvania. He af terwards, on account of the state of his health, which required him to travel, was engaged for some time in the service of the Board cipf Education as its Agent in the Middle States. About ten years ago-I'4B or 9—he was appointed Agent of the American Bible Soci. ety, for this Sate, in which work he was en-, gaged up to the time of his death. His suc cess in this work' has been most remarkable and gratifying. Without intending to depfe elate the labors of others we may safely as sert that be has done more for the Bible cause, in North Carolina, than any man liv. ing. Our State owes him an immense debt of gratitude, which debt its citizens can pay only by revering his memory and imitating his virtues. We have not the means now at hand to form an accurate estimate of the amount of has labors. At some future time we will en deavor to present a just statement of their extent , and importance—but we will only ray th4t they were so abundant as, to exceed present expectation or belief. AN ELEPHANT HUNT. Ws were on the side of a line green 'val. ley, studded here and there with • trees, and cut by numerous rivulets. I -had -retired from , the noise, to take an observation among some rocks of larninated grit, when I beheld an elephant and her calf at the end of the valley about two miles distant.— The calf was rolling IA the mud, and the dam was standing 1".,,mg, herself with her `greet ear.. As I looked at thett through'my glass, I saw a long string of my own men appear ing on the other side of them, and Sek . webu came and told-me that these had gone off, saying, "Our father will see to-day what sort of merrne has got." I then went higher up thk, side of the valley, in order to have a (Es-, tart view of their mode 9f hunting. The goodly beast, totally unconscious of the ap proach of an enemy, .good for softie time suckling her young one, which seemed about two years old; they then went into it pit con taining mud,aud smeared themselves all over with it, the little - one frisking about its - dam — , flapping his ears and tossing his trunk' inces santly, in elephantine fashion. She kept flapping her ears and wagging her tail, as if in the height of enjoyment. Then began the piping of her enemies, whibh was performed by blowing into a tube, or; the hands closed together, as boys do into a key. 1 They call out attract thci animal's attention, "0 chief! chief! we s have Come to kill you. • 0 chief! chien mans morewill die betides you, The gods have said it," etc., etc. Both animal's expanded their ears and list ened, then left their bath as the crowd rushed toward them. The little one ran forward to ward the end of the valley, but, seeing the men there, returned to its dame She placed j herselt on the danger side' of her calf, and passed her proboscis over it again and again, 1 as if to assure it of safety. She: frequently looked back to the men, who kept up an in- 1 cessant shouting, singing, and pilling; then !coked at he young * craeNstal ran after it, ' sometimes sideways, as if her feelings were divided between anxiety to protect her off •1 spring and desire to revenge the temerity of her persecutors. The men kept about a hun dred yardi in her rear, and some that dis. -lance from her flanks, and continued thus un til she was obligeerto cross a .rivalet. The time spent in descending and getting up the opposite bank allowed their coming up to the ' edge, and discharging their spears at about, twenty yards distance. After the first , disd charge, she appeared with her sides red with blood, and, beginning to flee for her own life, seemed to think no more of her young. I had previously sent off Sekwebu with or deri to spare the calf. It went very fast, but neither young nor old ever enter, into-a gallop ; their quickest pace isonly a sharp walk. Before Sekwebu could reach them, 1 the pelt sought refuge in the Water, and was killed. , - The pace of the dam gradually be came slower. She turned with shriek of rage, and made a furious ehirge hack among. the men. They vanished at right angles to her course, or sideways, and, as she ran straight on, she went through the whole par ty, but came near no one except one man who wore a piece, of cloth on' his shoulders. Bright clothing is ittersys - daneere'.lus in these uses. -She changed three or fouur times, and, except in the first instance, never - went fur ther than one huddred yards. \ She often stood after she had crossed a ":11741452, and faced the men, thotigh she received fresh spears. It was by this process of spearing and loss of blood -tharshe was killed ; . fiur at last, making a short charge, she staggered round and sank down dead in a kneeling pos ture. I did not see the whole taunt,. having been tempted away by both seri sad moon appearing,unclouded.
