War Sketches by a Northern Ranger.
We heti...reached the entrance of -a narrow
,pass-which ; led through some rugged hills..' Asir
party was not small, but its, moultuks, were de
tennined Min, none of ; whem were novices in
scenei'of danger. IMAMS, that
was broken only by the murthund' whispers of
the men, the cries and detterinzof birds, or
the quiek. Plunge of some small thro?gb
the thick' foliage, whieh, - finidthe - very•age cif
the path we-were perm:ling; Spread amid 'lofty
trees thinly scatteuxl on the hilL
Day, was near its close. : We were distant
some miles from the camp. The enemy might
be in possession of' defile in overwheimmg
number& It watedtderinliteti that' we should
.ireetrA in.. compact order until we hitgot *ell
beyond the entrance of Ae . paw, when, as it bey
comes more obstructed or tortuous, we, should /
taking advantage of etery bush, reek or in
equality; advance singly; ready tor thelbet and
reckless of-his numbers.-
The foliage become thicker as we advanced;
and evening fell. On our right was a de*
thicket, 'which we 'reached' alter ' having lost
sight of the entrance to-the defile in our rear.
This thicket reached-from the foot of the gorgti
to its summit. Each step became firmer, but t
more cautious. Thein was no"Shispering now
and every breath 'was-guarded; We were Wl4
the glen—on one aide gray' rocks,- lofty 'trees,.
flowering plants ,and creepers in wild
abrupt confustol
spreading over the sides of dark fantasia
hills • broken atintervaltilif huge Clueinnithitt,
gleamed: wildly in the rays of the declining
sun—on the, other side the impenetrable thicket
was buried in gloom.
Still steadily and stealthily advancing, eaell
man,' with his rifle grasped' tasilivii his ' hand,
glancing quickly to.the right and left, with
wearied energy crept along the glen. A-whis-- , '
de, quick and clear, sent its wild soundd thrill
tag ,
throngh every newt ann ear. There •
ittalinekerin- ant was
breathless suspense., Thatwas. no bird's-try.!
No threat brlta,hunuan one every .gave but a)

breatiasslyi and yruily peered on every side.'
Not a,inan of us visible but An fe ll ows.!
Crouched, with our very 'hearts beating, on the
earth, covered by the friendly bush, we lay for
many minutes in the hope ef.hearing the *his-,
tie repeated. All wacas stM .as though . the
spot had never known its wild solitude broken ;
by the foot of man or distirlial by his pamions,
his schemes or his aMbition.
Eitillwe listened, but in vain. No further
sound, was heard. Why was there no other
sigma ? Was it some solitary wanderer, who
sent that shrill cry forth through the stillnees
(in mere wantonness) and' with no other motive
than that. f breaking its monotony. Not so.
There was a significant* in that sound that
breathed war and defiance as plainly as if it
had come &um the bleed. of A trumpet. " tip

the lips of the ser geant in command. " Let

A. 8., Guarantor:
C. D. Guarantor.
Our march was resumed' as before; but we
step more stealthily, listened with painful at
tention and glared on every side With' the in
tensity of blood-hounds. The defile took an
acute, turn to the right, and on the left was a
naked space, extending for some yards, devoid
of all verdure, but the gitty moss clinging round
the gray rooks.
We began, Wily, to cross this uncovered
sPace, when there was a report of many pieces,
whilst red flashes froin rocks and bushes in the
-front gleaned savagefy and suddenly upon - us.
For a moment we were staggered. Then with
a shout we rushed forward to unearth the am
bushed foe. - Again the fire was 'tweeted, with
the rauselte'df 'their rifles within a few feet of
our. faces. I mused 'round for an ' instant , after
discharging my piece at one fellow; tuid - With
my bayonet transfixing
.another, to the soft
- sandy rock, itgairst"which he fell, and perceived
none of my party by my side. Bat - the . thick
smoke and rapidly falling darkne s s_that `now
ruled,in conjunction - with , yells, shots and
groans, the surrounding glen, made all invisible
beyond the lerigth of tne arm.
At' that instant I felt a sudden pang ; a than
new, ti blaelmess, like death, clime over me ;
clutched wildly at the sulphureas air, reefed and
fell.
When I recovered nay senses, I discovered
that I was lying on my side, bleding slightly
from' a flesh:wound in the thigh. I hid bled
profusely, before recovering, for I was saturated
ia half-congealed gore. Raising myself on my
elbow, I looked round for my comrades.. The
'noon was shining With all the softness of her
beauty on the spot. I counted five 'bodies lying
within a compass of 'almost as many yards. I
endeavored to discover their uniforms, but could
not at that distance. I rose slowly, and, with
ranch difficulty, reached the nearest: 'He was
dead, with a .blue hole In the mitre of his fore
head, though which the bullet had passed; and
the blood still. slowly oozed. I crawled to the
next One ; too, - was past all earthly aid.
So on to the thiird, fbnithand - fiftli." The bullet
had done its fell work on all. - These - lied been;
a few hours before, my comrades,.eager to•_deal
destruction upon foes, .and. careless of the fate
that - met them. I was the sixth and last of the
Party.
But where was the enemy ; or what- lutd.biten
the enemyl I heard no sound, and Alin moon
!light falling directly upon the dead men, and
Igrayfireird-liki3 reeks, produced an effect that
twassickening andtorrible. I remembered the
[mac: I had slain. I searched for his body, but
it was goite. I searched for others of the ace
hay, but all had disappeared.
' - There was no dead left on that battle-ground
but the five fallen scouts. Yet, that others had
perished the're, was oli - tfouit from the blood ly
ing in little pools among the-rocks, -behind
!which the ambushed foe had lurked and poured
inpon his deadly fire.
liy wound began to bletid afresh, which
brought a faintness upon me and I sank to the
.rth., A burning thirst was consuming me;
and I groaned in agony.
: . After a little while I made, another effort to
firie; but failed; and then. falling back, as calm-
It as possible, I yielded to my fate; I'thotight
bt - past days, When, In early youth, no cry for
blood had.yet awakened that inherent ferocity
t lurks unseen in the heart of man, until
..'
fearful scent rouses it as it does the blood
blinds, and it springs forth' with a sirifticeur
t appals and , a strength that &solute*.
My reverie was broken by the sound of
voices. Then came thar - driipproaching foot

_One night, after unwearied watchfulnesa and

hands and grasp him by,the As I was
making this essay, the moon broke folly upon
us, and I met his upturned pallid face. His
teeth were set. His bloodless lips drawn from
them with a rigidity that left them completely
bare. His eyes were starting from their sock
ets, and his form trembled so as to shake the
last hold to which he clung.
" One of their bullets," he hissed between his
teeth, " has smashed my ankle. lam going!"
His hold relaxed, another terrible shriek, rang
through Wei:tight air, and he fell crating
among the jutting rocks below ; his blood min
gled with the pure element that eddied round
them.
I again pursued my way along the bridge
aline. Many a bullet whistled put me from
my inveterate but bewildered foes, and many a
narrow escape I ran of being hurled linto , the
rhir . k Aver, or of impalement upon its half-con
toiled rocks. But one such death sufficed for
that night. Atlength I reached the other side,
thankful but exhausted. Still, with unabated
speed, I pursuedmy way, until the challenge
of a sentinel stopped further progress. I had
reached one of the pickets of the , detachment
for which I was bound—our, gallant northern
ers. I was safe, and a free man again.
