BY CAPT. THOMAS r S HART. I [COBCICBIQS 3 j Bat to oontinue with my adventures i£ they .may be so called. About two weeks previous to itny going amongst these Indians, one of their {chit IrenlaUftte girl about two years-o^age, 'hud been carried off in the dusk of the evening, by onejnfi-those California Hons; the Child, of oourse’was devoured. This I bad from the one who could interpret a little by signs, and the few words‘of Englisii'‘ffo-knew -I csd!d under-- stand him'pretty well.' Well, tho third'night after my arrival amoOgst. them, the doge (who ihad:heoome;qmte,frlendly tdwhr'ds'me) v rushed loutrand commenced auattaok-uppa some animal j ahont-S .bTcloch id:, the evening y they appeared | I to have, a tgrribTo battle with it. I oonoluded F i |wonldvgo.out?and see-the; battle'; it was .alar,,.-! ! light when !got out. t found that the dogs had j ; some onimal atbay; they were in a circle around, it.: Fgat.j-nthirrabout 15 feet of the unimal; I ■fired at it, ; and furtunatoly hit it,;_and .broke its left foreTahOiilder; The animalinstantlysprung. 1 at mdf striking me rather , on tho left side, tear-, ing my clothes,’nftd scratching me ou tho side, and uo.dopbt if it had not been .disabled, would : in- aU. 'probabiiity have killed'me, i f .The force with which it came against me prostrated me.— The dogs -in the meantime . followeAup.; tho.at taok,;and os it turned to bntUo- with them, I got a shot at it, and placed a ball behind its fore ' shoulder.' ■ Thore, was.then one of the most ter^ • riblo'oonfliots that! over boheld/between it and the dogs daring its death * struggles ; it killed (• two of the dogs; it finally fell dead across my | feet and legs. Lhajl law still in the'.mdantime, J ns Xwas in of being attacked by the j dogs", as well’ ai'the ammab-' Iu the meantime i j there- had. not an Indian bis appearance, I - finally Vhen the noise had all ceased .they, began 3 to rdake'their'appearanco withi itorohcs ! brands, and when they came to examine andfihd ! out how matters were, thoy gave the Indian yell | or whoops which exceeded any noise that I ever j heard. .The-Indiana came running from.all ■ quarters to"the'number of . several hundred, ■ young and old, women and children, us welt as {. men.- I thought that tho dogs and the animal had’rnade a noise whioh was terrifying, but tho I nolsethaladians made exceeded anything'! ever , heard in my life;; 1 did not think that it was in , the power of human beings to make sach a hid ' eons noise. They dragged the animal off from me,’ and T succeeded in getting to my feet The Indians’ then dnncod in afantastio manner around me, and would come up ,aad pat me 1 upon the shoulder and talk ladiau.wluch Idijl pot under ; stand t they kept up.their rejoicing for a con j slderanlekUhgth of time’. . The animal proved~to be a panther of tho 1 largest also; ’measuring-about eleven feet in { length from the end of the nose to the tip of the | tail; - Several of the dogs were badly hurt, but I'theTadions. applied herbs to’ their .wounds, and 1 ourod them up very soon. ! I new stood higher in their estimation than { ever; the next morning thoy called a council, j and informed me through the interpreter that ]' they’wished to adopt me into their tribe and to ! make a chief of mo, if I had no objection. I • told them JUwd none, provided it would not in» terfere with my leaving them, which I wished to jlo when the water subsided, (nearly tho whole valley being under water at this time from the ; heavy rains:) - They told mo that it would not, that I could go when I pleased, but they would rather I would stay with them. They then pre pared to make on Indian of me, which they did, ' although I did. not feel; the transformation.— Theyjastraised the panther .on its feet, proping i it up -so’ os to make it look as if it was olive; i they then wanted to paint my face which I ob jected to : ; I told them I would make a good In dian without having my face painted. They then stuck feathers of. aii colors into my hair ■ until I must hove looked very, grotesque, for my appearance-’ soemed’-to-please, them-mightily.— The'Chlef then delivered, a ebort address in-In dian, which I’Could not understand t he then stepped up to me, and presented me with a bow , and a quiver fall of arrows, these being the only arms I- ever seen them use; he then put his right hand on tho top of my head, and took hold of my Tight hand with his left, he proceeded to name me,, calling mo at least that was the : name - as near os I conld get It.— They then gave their war-whoop, andcommcnccd their War dance around the panther and myself. ; When they wonld dance around to a certain point, they wt> old-shoot their arrows whioh were point ted with the Obedian stono at tho panther, and some of them with such force that they would i • go clear through; the animal; .they would then icome up’ and pat me upon the shoulder, and V speak to me, some of them nsed tho Spanish 1 . word Boano or Buiyano.wbich means good, for [ Instance y Aey would ssyßarvano Kankahlatah. I Thera was considerable other ceremony but too tedious to name. The most amusing part of thCceremonyto me .was towards the conclosion; they concluded as I.was now one. of themselves. that I must havo a wife or squaw, and tho first thiug’l was aware was thSt there were about 40 ,- of their marriageable females presented tome, and the interpreter toidme T was to pick out a ' squaw ortwo if I wished; I was taken ail aback. os the sailors say; I told them that that was a ’ part .of tho ceremony that I oootd not comply -■ with,’os I already had a squaw at home. X could not refialn-.from- lau'ghiog, when I I . came to look at'the group of the peer miserable [ creatures, that I was to select a wife from amongst."-Thoy were, without exception, the J most filthy-lookinjfohjects that I ever beheld.- i My rejecting , a'wife or squaw pleased thexncn j ■■ - very much; they laughed vefy heartily at it I [ found that the California Tndiana generally were j mnch opposed to their women forming counec- I tions with tho whites; in this instance, tho wo t ’ ; men looked- at;it in ft different light; os they con i’ sidered me an Indian, and- they, thought l east a i . great snght upon them in not making a selccfion. I Eachonothinkingthatshe would havobeen the I b&jjpy-one, therefore, thoy all took it in the samo i light -.They would look upon mo with perfect contempt, when I would meet them afterwards; Still they,woald treat me kindly by fetching me wood, &o- To conclade the ceremony of the day, they went to work, and in about2o minutes •“ had mo a lodge completed, which I occupied l Mane, and I: must eay it seemed very comforta- I bie, being perfectly water-tight , .... I The Indians ore very fond of having English or Amerioan uames for their children, they got I mate name;a numb&of them, and I found it I vepy difficult to leanrihem to -say. their names. ! If they should retain thp'nj unti) they grow up ‘ there will be some conspibnons characters ntaongst thcnvforiustimee, there is Henry Clay,. Daniel jWebsterV. Gen'. Jackson, Washington, Scott, Taylor, - Lonis Napolean, Prince Albert, Queen;Victoria, and a host of other conspienons names. i ” There was one funeral took place while I was | amongst them; Their mode of bnriai is strange, 1 this was a man that died; the first night they ! went into a lamentation, by chanting a few i - .Indian, words in a most doleful manner and with singular effeot. It appeared to me the most - nlekiaoholy.sound lover heard, you will hear it more from- the.women than , the men, they set upoathei? knees andhams motifining their ’ heads backwards and forwards the whole , night through j the next day thoy bnild a funeral pile ot dry-woodimd other combnstible material, • they then placed the corpse andall the property - that belonged to him npon lt, .after reciting a kind of funeral anthem they set fire to 'the pile and keep adding dry fuel until all was consumed; they- then gathered the ashes which was -pre sented to: the widow who mixed it with a blaok pitch or rosin which is very black.' They then ’ apply it while warm in a circle of. abouttwo inches in width all around her face, making her i a most horrid looking objeot, she keeps on re ! peating i coat after coat until, it is at least an inoh thick and perfectly hard and glossy. - They remain in widowhood until that .wears off, which takes along while as they never wash their ! .faces. I do not think there is any danger of them haring woers daring the time thoy are in mourning, or .wearing the wreath of their de ceased husband’s ashes aroand their feces. I Vi should like to see .vrbat kind of a sensation it wonld create here. ' If some of our spruce young ! - 'widows should take it into thoir heads to' adopt: I s the custom, I think il wonld create a greater } ‘.sensation thanßloomerism ar anyother.ismthat: J .has oonie to- light lately. But to proceed, I I 'never seen any of the Indian men iu : mourning,: J , I do not think they go into mourning. ■ - The California Indians are the most degraded | and filthy Indians that wo probably havo in I North America, and yet they are susceptible of I "great Improvement, ■ and where they come In ■ connection witfi'Whites improve vory rapidly, ! making very good and industrious servants in many instances. > ’ They are very expert at catching game; tho - manuer in which they catch partridges or quails is interesting. The quails are very abundant in that region of oonntry. I went out with them -.upon one occasion; they went a considerable f .'distance, and selected out a large patoh of the ohnppnrel. Thoy then went to work and fixed •snoods of horse hair—a single hair constituting ths snood—in every little passage or entrance - into the above patch; sotting probably from five to six-bnbdted snoods. They willXhen start ont and form a oircle of two miles or mors in diam ’ oter and commence driving the birds to the cen tre .’the birds generally rnn,46stead of flying. 1 iq this instanoe, almost every snood caught a bird. In fact I lived upon game after.ta/pV visions failed:; ..thoyanbyaya: fprniabed mi? •donee; they also,caugh'tugreljt many bares and rabbits. Bat I mast now bring my narrative to o close, as (have already trespassed too long upon your patienoe and time, is one thing I sbonld like to mention,,and that is, the bitter animosity, that the Indians have for the Chinese, They do not mind being intruded npau or knocked down, a littliTVy'lhe Yankees; that they look for as n. matter ofcourse ;but .the. Chinese itbpy.took upon as another .raoe of they look- -upon as intruders; and, wo .to 'the John Chinaman they catch in their vioinity. If they do not have his long hair, it will be beeauae they cannot oatch him. I have "been very much, amused at aeeing.o party.of Indiana stand and •gazO With superoiHous contempt uponajiafty.of Chinese. They consider themselves fat. superior Chinese; and they are, in some respects. 1 was with thelndlona about, threojfeeks, and wheri I parted with them, they xegrflfed-.it.vOry i much. - They -took care-to 1 famish ,me with i plenty of game, ns lhad some three or four days i journey,beforo.l would reaob i Jlatiposa.;, 'ffhon.i I left them, two of their party —the intepretor being with me- a whole day, nnd frequently through to pat: : mo upon tho pro per trail lo the white settlement,, -Which I reached, after an , arduous' journey across rivers and-sloughs, in-four,days who arctrompt, bon es t and gentlemanly in their business trails actions, are the t only autborttod aaeuts in tho cl tie* of New York and Boston for the Horning rhrt. .They are authorized to receive Ad vertisement* -anil Subscriptions.for us at. onr usual rates.

It is a question we are unpre pared to answer. The time is snbject to the call of the Committee, and we have not had any op. portumty to consult them -on the snbject. Bat we hope that they will not fail to call It at an early day. Tho people desire that it should be so. They hope to have time to make up tbcit minds as to the kind of men they will bo called upon to vote for, and-to-ascertain if they oro the best men tho party can offer them. : It will not do to bring oat a ticket on tho eve. of tho election, when the people in tho country hire no opportunity to ascertain tho names of candidates, until the ticket is placed in their hands, upon tho day of election. - An arrange ment of this kind might suit the views or aspi ring and policy.politicians,iibui.it wlit never beogreeablo.tolhoetraightfarword.disiutorcsted democrat. • * . Tho whigs already fcol tho weakness that will prostrate them at tho coming election, and they hove postponed their nominations to tho latest day.

Their palmy days are past, and they sro now In tho sere and yellowleaf. They knowit, and if tho democrats will only not promptly and prudently, thcro will bo bnt a shadow.of tho whig party of Allegheny county left, after the next October election. We have every thing to gain and nothing to fear, by brlnging onr- ticket into tho field nt an early day.-- Bat to ensure success, the men com prising it mast bo good men—men whoso abili ties and honesty of purpose ' will command tho esteem and support, sot; only of thelr party friends, but of the 'community, generally. Wo have hundreds such men in onr ranks, and when ever onr party have had tho privilege of electing them, they have always given to the people of .the county competent and faithfnl offiocra.
