settled themselves down in one of the fer-
(.:3 naCf. (heir home. were, nerlint)--. for
the uirtst part, i.i.sensiUle to the beauties
which would have thrown many a senti-
mental tourist into ec.-tacies of pleasure;
they had other things ol (ar greater im-
pmlance to Ihem to occupy their Otb n'ion.

"Well,, well, yon ore abjtd right, I inns:
conlessjV but what do you say to coming
and lending me a helping hand sometime?
In a little while, I think I could make a
good smith nl you, and th;re is nlore woik
than the pair of us could do." -,!
"Thai's not a fad idea," said Charley
Hush, the l ilnter ; "but," he continued,
looking up the road, "what is Ihe matter
now ?" " f , r 1 ,
Rihert, with the heavy linmmr still in
his hand, came quickly lo Ihe door; and,
then the cause of hit companion's remark
was soon apparent, (or a young girl, in the
first bloom of womanhood, was running ra
pidly towards the place where they were
standing, JT ri her hands she held a slrinw
of flowers, hound together lor the purpose
of forming? a wreath, but her hair was (low
ing loosely and in disorder down her back,
and her whole appearance bore th" marks
of some strange and sudden fright. When
she came tip to them, at first she was too
much Hurried to spi-ak ; hn! niters little
while, gaining breath, she lotd lliem that.
enticed hy Ihe beauty of 'lie morning, she
nml heeii out into the woods to eather some
'if the earlv (lower?, and while thus rnga
g"tl, had been Stan led hy the appearance nl
three savages. JI was irn- Ihev had not
offered her any violence: indeed the words-
which one nf them addressed Pi her were
expressive, if admiral ion, if she might judge
, . i , , . '
n oin ii is iooks; nut she was too much dis
turbed tn nndersland.wh.it was meant, and
Mriu.eriiateiy run away as fust a she rould.
To add weight and innfirn ation to her
statement, the jiiujertsol her f'.-nr were s-en
leisurely making towards Ihe spot where
the speaker stood.' ,
"Don't he afraid, S.uah said EiTingiT,
as he saw an expression of dread upon her
features; "they canned hint ynn here : and
lei us hear what they have to say for them
selves; they are from a -friendly tribe."
Yes," remarked Dush, "I "should just
like to see them do ynn any harm, bow
easy 1 could put a bullet tliraugh them:
but the best policy is to be as friendly to
them as possible."
The Indians fra.li)a!!y approach' d the
place where the three slooi!. Two f,f them
were ordinary looking men, as Irighlful as
paint could possibly make them, but the
other had a striking and even handsome
countenance, and a body of proportions
that evinced immense muscular s!ren''th.
"The daughter of the paleface," said
he, in a muscular tone of voice, "need nol
(lee from the sight of Attalba. Her form
is more beautiful lhan the voting (awn, or
ihe wild flowera that prow' by the stream.
Attalba is the hero of his tribe; there is
plenty in bis house. ; Cut is lodge is vacant,
and if Ihe daughter of the nale face will
consent jo be his wife, Attalba will be her
slave, and her life .hall be as happy as the
joyful song of summer birds." "
Sarah, at this sudden offer, crept closer
to Etlinger for protection, and he, coloring
with a feeling of jealousy, rather than an
ger, answeied :
. "Indians," said he, "the daughters of
the whites mingle not their blood with that
of ihe red men : our manners, our ha'ii's,
our lives are difli-reid. L-t each of us lol
luw the tribe in which he was born, let
each of us work out his destiny in peace."
The Indian's eyes, upon the reception
of this speech, shot forth some most re
vengeful eleauis, but with the seeming sto
ical indifference, fir which these people
have always been remarkable, he nntioned
to his companion, and together they im
mediately departed.
Sarah and Llliuger had for s-rivtim t.
been betrothed liters, and in the mutu il
happiness they ( It in each others society',

Bit for nnp circumstance the annals of
Fisher's Hollow would have soon been
closed. Hush hat) been from home longer
lhan was his usual custom, and fortunately,
when thinking of returning, he came upon
the Indians; and with the usual caution of
Ihe backwoodsman, without being discover.
ed himsvlf, perceived that nil ol them were
hastening lo Ihe village .with a hostile in
tent. He waited to know no more, but,
made all Ihe haste he possibly, could, to in
furm his friends of their danger, 6 rind lo
prepare-for Ihe -encounter. The danger
was most unexpected ; hut, in a short time,
anonl twenty uu-u were soon ready' lor
sen ice; ami armed .with the deadly ti!e,
they pjsted lhomels in the wood bv,
which the settlement mi s'. fiist be apjiroach
ed. ' . .
The Indians advanced with the craly
stea thiiiess lor. which they have always
been renowned, ami the first sign tlv-y had
that tin ir designs Were discovered, Was
liom a well direrted volley ol the roncea'-'
ed rill.-nien, which laid many of their best
nu n iow. The hattle then commenced in
earnest. Hut the arrows of the savages
could do hut li'tle . Secnlioii, and in a short
time il was easy to p. re ive how the fight
would terminate. Analhu knew that the
lay was lost, but his j-alnus ev, discern
ing under Hie cowr of a tree, a form I tint
he had long hated, he (teteru.iued that one
ol the passions ol his nature should at least
be sati-li.-ii, or bis life should pay Ihe for
feit. To fulfil his purpose he, his com
panions to lake Ih.-ir chance, and cnuiouslv
made his wav Ihionjh the uuih rwood. ,
E;li nger had just discharged his piece :
when the saiacre soran r trom his coiir.nl-

Chickasaw D.s'.ncl, Feb. 1 1. 1S54. J
I read in your paper of 2 Lb nil , (icceived
hero la si mail,) a ilnilling nnd interesting
onrrnlive of ihe cap'uie und escape of M:8
J.iiib Adelaine WiUoii. by Ihe Ciinniicln.' In
ilian, last summer, by whom she nnd her
iv.o hi ol heid in-law (boys) weio taken off
piioner.t.
The fact nnd ihe puiliculars of Mrs. Wi'
nn's capture, nnd the two boys, neat the
foil -Phantom Hill." Texas, are corroborated
by the same fact related lo ine heie, by the
discharjied so'dier nlluded In by her in hei
n. r'ative, (the soldier havinu pass-d this
way In Aiknnsa-.) nlsii i i relatm i to Ihe
Mexican d.ivei being scalped lied shut,
Mi- W. lefales.
The soldier stated here, fin his artival, 'ha'
he wan unable lo keep up to tho w ngon. with
Mis, Wi'srni nnd two boys, the Mexican
hiving, nnd as his horse was wor i down,
and mi tnniing up lo it he found the wnmati
and hntli bovs gone, ihe vvngnii robbed "fall
its coiileiits, iioiles auue nl-u ; and the Mex
ican driver l ii ir near the wagnu, inenib'e.
havii'B been shut nnd scalped. The sn'dier
enriied him, lo n small stream near b'f
wnhe.l his wnniids, nnd afterwards cariie.l
him for seveial dav on his back. They
were destitute nf food, the Indians having
stolen all four: ihe waami.
They lived for some days on the remains
uf a dead ox, found bv th road-side, uiiiu
nn old razor for a kniTe, being the only in
strnment the soldier had to cut.
After several daj'ow- Iravelius, they ar
rived nt 1 Phaiilorn Hill" post, where the sol 1
dier left the Mexican, recovering.
Nothing has been heaul on thi frontier of
he two hoys ul'iided lo in Mrs. Wils m's nnr.
rative, until leu days since, w lien, one about
l.telvu years old, calling himself Getuge
Wa-hiuu'ou Wilson, was briinahl in here, b

had been out with some Sliawuees for the

inaticlii'S. They found ibis while boy, w hh the Ca-
manches, in a very des:iiiite condiiiou re-
peeling cloihina, having but a few rags on
his person.
Aaron Browm with the characteiistic no
bleness of heart peculiar lo his liibe, seeina
ihe while boy in captivity, mid badly used,
proposed . trading some goods for him. A
few days passed befoie thu IraJe vascon-
luiled.
After giving several hundred dollars' worlh
of goods for the buy, the Cunani lies wanted
to iliaw bargain, thinking they could extort

A few days since I lienid fiom Foit Ar-
