Be* ing an--experienced woodsmaft and an old hunter, hg is peculiarly filled aaan ngenl to explore the wild* of-that 'region,- The story was related to the writer by. Mr, C. himself, and may he relied upon as being correct. ' On the 4th of November last,-Mr. C. was exploring the route for a new road to-ihe set* tiemeot, through a wild and gloomy wilder* hi ss. As the shades of evening drew on he cpmCigDccd to . ret race his steps, a» he sup posed,’llirmtah lands of William Silver, Esq-., of Philadelphia; but hewasdisapp.oituedrand lost his way. ilo became alarmed, and as the dusky shades.of night weresetting arotipd, he found himself in a dense forest, aL least eight miles from the settlement," Becoming very tired from rapid walking, he sat down dn a log lo rest "a moment and contemplate his situation. ' Hi’s attention was .suddenly, arrested by a rustling in the.bushes close by, and on cautiously, looking round, beheld a huge bear coming towards him. To draw up his (rusty ride and shoot the beast, was the work of a moment. Bruin gave a fear ful and awful roar, which awoke the echoes of the gloumy solitude, and then was still.— Fearing that the beast was only wounded, Clark hastily rc-loaded his gun, with two balls, last in his pouch, and discharged them into the body of the monster, when le cautiously approached and found that be was dead,. He describes the roar of the beast, ns he received his death wound, as terrific, and calculated to make the stoutest heart quail with fear. 'A da■ k and gloomy night was settling down on him—he had no bullets for his gun Was Far in the wilderness without food-'or sh||ter v surrounded, by wi d animals. He had no.matchps to kindle afire—his situation was desperald, and to add to his further dis comfort, it commenced raining. What was to he done! To remain there without s fire was exceedingly dangerous. With these re flections ha continued to grope his way through the laurel, hoping to find a path that might lead to a hunter's habilalian, but in vain.— The night was as dark ns Egypt, and the howling of a pack of wolves greeted his ear. Biting an old man, he soon became exhausted, and found that he would have to remain there for the night. Coming to an aged hemloqk he sea(ed himself at its root for the night.— Could he but obtain a fire he would be com paratively safe, The effort was, by collecting some dry materials, and loading his gu’n with powder, fired the charge into a dry cotton handkerchief. It was a failure f AS-!fhVgbti was"discharged, soother bear, ap parently within twenty (eel of him, gave a hideous and awful, roar that mode Clark’s hair stand on end. Bruin was terribly fright ened by the .discharge of the gun,, and hasti ly seam; eted off, much to the relief of Clark, who now begun fairly to realize the danger of his situation. Here he remained, not daring to fall asleep. About two o’clock in the morning, to add to the hotrora of his simatioo, the yell of a pamfter was heard. The beast approached —came nearer, every few minutes uttering a screech lhai froze the blood in his veins ? As a Inst resort to defend himself from the attack pf the savage animal, he reloaded his gup, putting in some three cent pieces and steel pens, (fur he had nothing else,) which he Jtpged might do some execution. The animal' came so near that the glare pf his eyes in the darkness resembled two balls of fire I Clark expected every moment to re ceive the fatal spring. There he remained, without daring to move ; with the fiery eyes of the panther fixed upon him I In this dread ful situation, expecting every moment to be torn in pieces, he remained till break of day, when he was relieved from danger and the animal disappeared. Hungry, weary and excited, he left for the settlement, where he arrived about noon, and related his ihtilling ndvdhture. A party proceeded to the place where Ifie bear was shot, and brought in his carcass, which proved to be a very large one. It was dressed and forwarded to New York. It was several days before Clark fairly recov ered from the fatigue, the fear, and .excite ment of that night which will never he re moved from his mind.

They who contend that Women is Gt only to be fiatlered and worshipped, had better not read this dr. tide. |\Ve advocate social equality without regard to sex, and oppose anything that lends to man, or woman worship To bo an idol niay be. vastly pleasant, but gods and goddesses, be they of wood, stone, or Qesh-andbluod, belong in the same catego. ry and should be cast down. In the scries of resolutions abopted by the Teach, ers' Institute lately held in this place, was one set. ting forth that the wages of teachers ought to be in. creased, “and that without regard to sex." , This is a significant resolution and speaks well for the pro. gressive'spfrit in our midst. It strikes at the rout of an evil which its framer may, or may not have, had in view. ’ The law pf Cbmpcnsation, in our social economy, works tb'itcribly. Working properly, that law gives a tertirrt olid invariable recompense for so'much la. bor performed. 1 It does not differ from other nato ral laws in its unrestrained operation—from that which governs tits lever, and It* various forms and combinations. A given length of lever and a given power, wiil-slways raise 1000 ponnds s given highl. So, a given amount of labor of a given kind, should always produce a given compensation J “and tint without regard to sox.” “Woman is dependent," says the world. Grant ed—but why is she dependent 7 Is her dependence natnral, or forced 7 Forced, by a perversion of the law of Compensation, Why is Man independent 7 Because the exercise of his talent*, in every proper pursuit I* ''Stimulated by the certairilyof a. better compensation .than in the case of-Woma'n. ‘Look, for yourselves: the man-tailor makes yonr pants for twelve shillings or two dollars. The womao.uilar docs the kapte work, lakes the same weary stitches, and receives six shillings, or one. dollar. Thia is a tolerable good tariff on sex. The male teacher in our Common Schools receives irom fit H In 030 month- 'Tim female assume* the same responsibitl-' ties, performs the same labor and receives from $4 to $l6 per month; and this paltry sam is often paid over by a stingy, six by eight rani who thinks it is a groat sum for a teaman to have just for teaching the a-b-c’s. Now is this just 7 No, sir, Mr. Fogy Slingyface, it is not just or de* cent, A Woman can and docs make just as good a garment as a man, with aneqaal chance; and tlicre fbre she deserves a like compensation. At to teach ing, woman seems especially designed for the voca tion ; and if she had her due, it there is to be any disparity, she should receive the higher wages. She is & Better student of human nature than her brother —because long rule arid physical superiority have not dlmmcdhcf intnilions. She can get nearer the hearts of Tittle cliildrun ltftn can ftinn, and tints the can measure their 'Capabilities and teach them Willi greater success. ” ’ Since Woman is dependent, and since her depend, ence io not natural, but forced | end forced upon her principally through a shameful perversion of'lbe law of Compensation,—to what doe* this depend ence inevitably lead t Tile slave Is dependent upon bis msitet; hale then subject id the caprice of that master. If the master is a man of kindly instincts the slave loses so much lea by Ids dependence. So, if (he great heart of aocicty always beat tree and kindly, Won), ati’a fate would not be «o deplorable. But it doea not so beat toward its dependents. Thus m all large towns, (dnd in some small ones, unfortunately,) there ore hosts of abandoned women. Not nil of these are driven cowering inlp lives of shame by a frowning world, but. still, the greater part. Heartless scoundrels hi (ho gjilso of men and Christians, give them work at sixpence a day —our king shirts perhaps— “ Stitch, stitch, stitch! Till the eyes are heavy and red I Stitch, stitch, stitch— Flying tlio needle and thread I” Sang poor Hood, himself a victim of unrewarded toil. Thus thrust down, woman grows desperate, bolds brief,parley with pleading virtue and hides herself from the frown of 'lnexorable Fate in the purlieus of Shame. Then there Is no more peace for her—no hope, no pity, no sunshine! She wan. dors (henceforward shorn of her birthright, shriek ing like balked Armida in (he 'presence of.the won dering knightb—<•' “Lost! lost!

When the Court re assembled in Philadelphia, Judge Kane and b|is friends had an interview with our Judges, apd communicated to them the fuel that the President had orderedthe United States Mar shal, in case the court should direct -the writ to jssue, to remove Williamson from Muya inensing to to United States receiving ship, and defend him there, with United States marines and soldiers, against- any force the Stale might send lo take him. The question presented to our Judges was, whether it was prudent lo risk the threatened collision ? I am sorry lo say that,they thought it was not. They .had not the nerve to stand up for Stale Rights. Judges Lowrie and Woodward then changed their opinions, and the writ of ha bets corpus was not issued. The threat—for it was a threat—should have been an incen tive to its issue, instead of the pusillanimous courser adopted ; for-the question of Stale Rights has got to he settled, and this was the opportunity he needed. ,Is this true ? [f it is not, the Honorable fudges owe it to themselves explicitly and positively to contradict it in some. form.

It | cannot be'possiblb in the nature of things for : Cuba to remain iittaached to a European pow er many years longer, and when the proper • lime arrives, she will come to us of her own accord, without nny such expenditure on our part as two hundred million dollars.

Beale was yester day released from his confinement in Moy amensing Prison. Dr. Beale was convicted in October lust of the offense with which he was charged, and was sentenced to nn impris onment of four years and six months from the 28ih of November.

McCauley, the chief clerk in ihe office of ihe Secretary of the Commonwealth, started .to the city with the document.

McCauley was met at the American Hotel by Col. J. S. Wallace, and together with one or two other gentlemen they repaired to the prison. A friend of Dr, Beale's had preceded them and commun icated the glad tidings to him. The doctor was completely .overcome when the inlelli gence was communicated to. him, and for some time he-was unable (o articulate a syl lable. At half-past ;eight o'clock in the morning Dr. Beale reached |>is home in Walnut street, and those who witnessed the meeting between the late prisoner and his family described it ns ieing affecting in the extreme. Mrs. Beale visited her husband frequently during the lime of his imprison ment, but the children had not seen their fa ther from the time of his conviction.

Ho was captured and yesterday returned ip the thy. His account of his adventures in search of freedom, and that of his capfors in 'search of the fugitive, partake aumewlmt of romance. Ho snys that he crossed ttie river at the saw mills, and immediately took the line of the Jeffer son Railroad. 'ln the neighborhood of Vi enna, some Hodsiers discovered him and im tfiedlately gave chase. They, after a long run, succeeded in capturing him, but he es caped from them soon. At a subsequent pe riod he was again seen and had to undergo another chase. Being mounted on a stolen horse, his pursuers soon found that he would distance them. Accordingly they fired, kil ling the horse. Undaunted, he kept ahead, and dugs were set upon him ; bnt he baffled all pursuit until wearied down. Being again taken, he escaped a second time,- and for a longtime perplexed the Huosiers, until entire ly prostrated by hunger hnd exposure, he was finally taken. Officer, Kirkpatrick,-from this city, was sent to bring him home. Ben ex pressed the greatest joy at seeing an old friend and was particularly. furious against (he Hoosiere, who were not such Abolitionists as he imagined.
