I,etter from “Wanderer.” [Correspondence of The press.] • , North Fork Camp, Aug. 20th, 1859, Wo pitched camp to. tho Treat of the oreok vil lage of North Fork, and near the junotlon of the Canadian , river and its north fork, yesterday, at sunsot, after a woary journey of sixty miles from Rod Bank Oreok, and veto loft to put things right fyragood night’s rest by tho glimmering and un certain- light of tho camp-fire. .Those only who, -have gone through new countries, and have slept opt in tho woods, know how delioious is the enjoy ment of the luxuries of coffee and tobacco. Wo opjoyod -both: Tho first makes ono forget the dreary hardships of the day, and prepares for the ebothing balm of a smoke, and the, sweot hour when friends are remembered, and homes are ohe rished, with renewed affection. j Our party.had their patience severely tried, not dnly in the beginning, but during the trip. How* <|ver, I don't suppose we had i more than tho ordi nary share of mishaps which befall those who tra vel through an Indian oountry. Wo were to have 'Started Saturday,one week ago, but one gentloman slok with the fever, and had to be pent to "the Choctaw villago, in tho vicinity, for medical ns- I'Stanoe, front’ Which' village two others had but recently returned with renovated health. the ponies and a wagon were hired Uh divide the camp oquipage with' the ox-toam f whioh was nooeesary, because it would have been too heavy a load for the latter in the stoop river bottoms, and the still steeper mountain passes, Every thing was prepared, and . tho spirits of tho party were enlivened with, the expootation that on the morrow, at daybreak, We would bo pushing turther. westward. A oouple of travellers, who stopped to .water their horses and hare a pipe, gave us acceptable late news of the ooUdition of the region through which we. were going; and, when they left us, we obatted gaily togethor until .ft late hour.' Before the gray trem bled In tho east we were up,butweorosoonly toe*- peiienco anew the unerring truth of the Grecian .philosopher’s saying, that there Is nothing In this jworld certain save uncertainty. Those who had (been sent out to bring the poUles in-from the range ?6onld neither-see them'fcor any /trace of them. 'Runners .wont out In every direction, and as’the idstfr wore.on, and they returned, ona afteranother, ' the story of ill succoss was repeated. The previous [sight had been made hideous; with the bacchana jllan shouts and tbo monotonous chant (that It seems . to me,- in convivial moments, Delawares and Digger .‘lndians, Rueblos; and Sipux, Kiokapoos and Kio-. '-ways, all render alike) whioh were freely indulged tin by an assembly .of- Chootaw warriors, who,, fll - though they did not harmonise the proclamation that they would not go home till morning,' were much more practical than .foat men In the States : that do, for sunrise glared down upOn their drunken orgies, still continued-With unparalleled power. It is obvious that runners taken from such a throng ifere not dear In the head,' or reliable. As they •Mood, or Tather tried .td stand, to saddle their-woe tough little'ponies, tho fear’was natural that, if they mounted, they wero so large and heavy, and their ponies w small and light, that they would either backs or bury them In the earth. .They would •'< take a parting drink, and- then, With a whoop, ihey would make a spring as if jthey dosignedalighting forty,feet beyond their po-: Wes, but as they were up in the air a fortunate hio ,eo ugh would take them midway, and bring them Into [tholr Saddles With wonderful precision. Tho Indian who cwfied'tho pdnies was head devil In the pre tious nlgbt'a dabauoh.: One moment' during the morning ho that the Greeks had stolen his property, and the next ho was equally confident that the pale fitoed'about Fort Smith were tho of fending vagabonds. ‘ When, for an instant, ho wa» jyored whom.next to anapiematiso, and he was as 'Aiful os April sunshine, bis particular friend, who Zwore a turban like Joseph’s coat of many oolore, of an amplitude to satisfy a dosen Turks with jeapaoipus winding sheets, broke out into an un eartbiy-yellfor theedifloatlOp opd .entertainment of those prosent. The owner was wrong, for the -pbuies had pot been stolen, but had strayed out of jilbU'toro Edition of the native ariiole, i)lad in-the aiyy'atare of a bag with the bottom for his Hoad, and two in the side ’for his arms, oomo wlth the information that he bad heard a bell, and during tho sight the ponies wore found in the direction where the bell bad been beard. 1 Monday morning, when tho teams were ready for the order to‘start, a drenching rain-storm arose, ap'd as we erouohed under tho wagons or beneath the shelter of the woods, Wpt through and chilly, a more forlorn company of human beings oould scarce well be Imagined. Tho sun was out before noon, and |n asligbt drlzslowe were upon our way toward the Sans Bofs mountain. Lot ma briefly dosoHbe tho part/ nnd tho order of march. In the van were the leader of tho party and myself, He marked out tho road and fixed the camping places. I amused myself with hunting turkeys, prairie ohiokens, partridge, and squirrels that were everywhere abundant, and occasionally carrying out the curso upon snakes with an unim portant modification in putting a stick, and not my heel, upon their heads. The pony team was driven by a Philadelphian, with a side guard for .help of one of the servants. The ox team was under the charge.of one of the best Choot&ws I . have soon—a sober, industrious, good, fellow—a servant, and ah old fisherman and sportsman of Kensington, who ordered the raising of the tents . in an abundance of sea slang, to' the admiration and wonder of the natives, who, having never heard it before, thought it was a refined improve* ment upon the English language ; and in this order all excepting the drivors.trudgod the entiro sixty miles. It gavous ample .opportunity to observe the country and tho people who inhabit it, for loaded teams make but slow progress over Uttlo travelled and ungradod roads. Aftor crossing an extensive prairie we wound round a bald hill. From its summit a fine view was had of the Caveniol mountains to tho south, and the two up-towering spurs to the north seemed hopelessly struggling to join and shut up the deep out through which the Arkansas swept down its ourrent toward tho Mississippi. To the east stretched out a vast, treeless meadow, undulating like the waves far out at sea, and beautiful in its garment of green grass and multihued flowers. As tho wagons were disappearing in the forest be* yond, the sun lingered upon ibis landscape, and presently set with a quiet loveliness, and with the gold and purplo, and rosy tints softened Into a mid* B\immer sunset, unsurpassed, I must believe, by anything that Italy was over blessod withal. Next morning early, we crossed the two Sans Bois—tha LUtle Sans Bois and the Big Sans Bois rivers—and a halt was called at Emmachins, or Long’Town. • We saw few habitation*, and those only liko shooting-boxes In.the woods. Onoo or twloe, or three times, a stray oorn-fiold was Boon, whioh appeared to be cultivated for the ncoommo* dation and oomfort of tho coons, squirrels, and ‘opossums. The kindneßß was appreciated, for those animals had eaten up nearly every ear of tho grain. Thero mqst bo a sarcasm meant in oalliog the town and rivers I bared named Long Town and Sans Bois, for tho latter aro thickly banked with timber, nnd the forrnor consists of only two ramshaekle log cabins, with out* , sheds, in tho lost stages of tottering Imbecility, and all are as close togethor as possible. Tho streamßin this country run dry in summer. Tho Canadian, whioh is a wide river, and deep in the fall and winter, had only a narrow, shallow thread of water running, whioh was fed by one or two springs. But it had enough to give ns a fear* ful idea of quicksands. Our ox-team stopped only a minute to get water, and tho wheels wore im bedded in tho Sne-shlftlng sands, and It was only after a world of shouting, .cudgelling, prying, and scraping, it was got out. Springs are like angols visits—very few nnd vory far between. Travellers, therefore, in summer, have to dopend for water mainly upon tho pools filled in tho dry bods of crooks and rivers after a rain. The sooond day we made twelve miles over prai rie And under a burning sun of this warm latitudo, without a drop of water to slake our thirst, or even to moisten our parched tongues, before we nooned. Tho cattle and horsos gavo out. .As wo omorged from a piece of tlrobor nnd saw prairie before us as fas as tho horizon, it was onough to dampon tlio spirits of tho most onthuslastlo travellers. There was one troe upon it, but It had not, liko tho Lone Tree pralrio In California, a well of cool water under its shades, or a hoatelrlo uoar by for tho re freshment of the inner man. So wo pushod on till we found some braokish water in the woods near the edge of the prairie. ' We met squads of Creek Indians. Half a dozon scouts would corno upon us, with their ponies qara*- oolling, with ribbons streaming, and with sinister scowling feces. More would hurry by scarce re cognising our salutes. All would be explained when tho heavy artillery of this army camo lam boring up. Ton or fifteen sturdy, muscular fel lows wero mounted upon ns many ponies, and, dangling by their sides, each had two kegs. Tho Creek paymont had taken place a day-or two be forc, and this was an army on Its way through tho Choctaw country, toward Fort Smith, to broftk through tho liquor blockade.

In the meanwhile he had rolled up his legs under his body in a mlraculousmanner, and made himself into a ball-upon the saddle, all tho time grinning and winking a whole armory of signals, and opening his mouth so wide, that for the world you oould not but believe lhat he was the pattern of those match-boxes iathe’ehape of,rotund, jubilant o|d men whose beads can be removed and replaced without the least pain br inoohvehien'de.

When a trader arriyos the word is passed round, and Jt is soon known who is to bo sold, and that party being informed immediately'takes to tho woods, and oan-, not be found for weeks and months, when he returns of his own accord, after the danger has blown over.

I saw Dr. Jeyne’s almanac, and I greeted it as an old friend. Ah old copy of the Weeldy jPwi was road over for the fifth time. I got it on the route here, and when I returned to camp enjoyed ahappy hour In dashing off this letter. I will soon con clude. As we sat one night by the oamp-fire, an Indian with a loog name, and short legs, told us a few stories of tho troubles that besot the paths of those, who seek after the dooootion that not only inebriates, but intoxicates -to a supreme altitude. Tiug-ga-ohe-wak-bah was a jolly dog, and as sly as sly could be. He kept a jug distillery upon the top of a hill, whore his friends gathered their money and themselves for a good time, whfob, with much hel loing, they achieved, He had escaped arrest In smuggling liquor into the nation so often that he became bold, and didn’t think he could'bo oaught. He was a slippery eel. Perhaps his name may refer to that shining trait of his character. Well, Tom, for so he is known amongst his snddlod his sorrel poDy, had a sash of all the hues of the prism rolled around hlswaiSt a dozen times, his slouch hat was like a May-pole with gay rib bons, and glittoring spurs were resplendent upon his heels; A coat of bright orimson 'with' yellow fringe oovored his shoulders, and no more, in order to show off the shirt of a dazzling sky blue; and thus bedizened, be exhibited himself with a keg on either side, to the admiring gaze of his twO wives, eighteen ohlidren, and twelve dilapidated hangers-on, To make his exploit the more glo rious, sent word to the Hghtrliorsemen what his errand was, and the road he was to take. He metaohum on hi a way, and they'took several drinks together. They drank more on thoir re turn and lost all oaution. They wero ohased, caught, thoir cargo of fire-water destroyed, and Tom was compelled to pay a heavy fine. Ho oame home looking very mubh like a ribbon-seller after ho haa been recovered from an unexpected plunge In the river. A Creek meets two travellers coming aorosS the prairie. He has two kega. He-pulls out a knife something less than a yard long and waves it fight and left till ho gets past. Then he grows friendly and sings out, Ah! my friends, oomo take a drink, which you are bound to do or get Into a fight. An Indian wbo sells liquor lives In a house, half of whioh is in the Cherokee nation and the other half in tho Creek, When the Cherokees call, the liquor is upon the Crock side, so that ’ they cannot spill it or fine him, and the only thing left them is to got drunk with him, whioh thoy do roligiously, and this is repeated whon tho Creeks call, with the ohange that tho liquor *ls Ikon found upon the Cherokee side. Two Choctaw light-horsemen ohased a party of twenty Creeks, who wero smuggling liquor through thoir nation. One Was wounded and tho othor went book for assistance. ‘ Tho wounded Chootaw fol lowed the trail, and left marks by which he could bo found. In a little while the parties were equal. On wont, the Greeks, whipping thoir ponies and backed by thoir kegs, and on came the Choot&ws to arrost them. There was a fight, but the Creeks wore ovorpowerod. They were tied, and the kegs woro broken open, and as tho liqnor ran out, tho arrested and tho arrosters put their foroheads in tho dust and dronk copiously, and it was not long beforo all were drunk together.
