NOV. 10, 1860. BUFFALO HUNTING IN SO UTII AFRICA. ‘ . Buffalo hunting at. the Cape is so totally different. from the chase of the American hnt' falo, that. perhaps an account. of' a day’s hunt. and description of the Cape buffalo may not. prove uninteresting. . In the cool season of 1854 I journeyed. with one companion, to hunt. upon the east coast of Attica. Our starting point. was Natal, and after twenty-eight. days (raking. we art-ived at our ground. We encamped upon a. mountain ous ridge, a spur of the grt-at Drakenh'izrgs or Quathlamlta range of mountains; which t‘ujt nearly across the whole continent from eastfito west. From our lofty place of abode we could mark the course of the Pongula river as it flowed through the valley below. The -cenery was beautiful: large undulatingdowna, dotted with clumps of large and majestic trees, gave an idea rather of an extensive park than a wild and uninhabited country, so full of malaria, and fever, that, even the natives. after vain attempts to locate thrmselves, were Thin—filo fly» from so unhealthy a. spot. Engaging the ser viCe of twenty-four Knt‘tirs of the Amaswazu tribe, we descended into the lower grounds, in light marching order, leaving our European ser vants, comp, wagons, Bm, 8.20., on the mountain. Pitching a. small patrol Icm upon the bank of a river, I left, the party, and accompanied by two Kofiirs, snllied forth with the intention of stalking buffalo. After a long walk. I sue ceeded in getting within twenty yards of four old bn‘tls; they stood facing me, evidently alarmnd, but, as yet had not (IL-peeled my stealthy approach. A Smuding as they did, it was an awkward shot; the immense mass of horn upon the forehead sheaths it With a. coat. of mail; in aiddition go which hulfolo carry their noSe-s high, thus affording no sure mark when facing the hunter. I aimed at the point of the shoulder and fired; the ball (a. 2 021 one) told. I think behind abush as the bull galloprd heavily away. I started a Knfiir to keep him in sight, and it was well'l oid so. Hostily reionding, I fol lowed, end was joined by the Keflir, who re ported that, oner proceeding in short. disrence, the wounded anii'nai had proceeded sharp round a. bush, upon Ihe edge of the genie-path.— Cautiously advancing; I get. within eighty yards; I sow my friend waiting eVidently with the intention of charging whoever followed him upon the path. There was no bush be tween no, and not liking to approach nearer I fired at. him ; the bullet hit again, but the dis tance was was too great for tho ~shot“ to be effect—nu]. He now moved slowly and suikily off, followed at axre~pecleble distance by the some intelligent native who had previously spotted him. I found, upon advancing, ehe Knflir watching a. small clump of bush, in which the buffalo was reported to have taken refuge. I desired him to advance with me and point. him out; both anfirs declined acoompn~ nying me. alleging (he bnflalo was dangerous and meant. mischief. Sitting down to watch the hush. I dispatched a messenger to the tent—almost. half a. mile diatom—for the dogs). In emery short time the dogs (six in number, and led in leashes) ar rivexl. Cautiously entering the thicket, the natives pointed out. a. dense mimoamt bush, in which the butlolo was standing. Ic--uld merely see the outlines of his figure: I could aim ntno vital part; so, directing the Knflirs to slip the dogs the moment; I fired, 1 took o hasty shot. The eflect was electrical; the previous moment. the most perfect. stillness reigned—all was si lent; but. the. discharge had scarcely taken place, when, with an angry roar, the buffalo bore down upon us; the small bushes hemeen were levelled in a moment, everything yield ng to his strength and ponderous bulk. Form nately the. Knfiirs did not (am they often (in) lose their presence of mind—they elipped the dogs; dashing at. him, his course was changed, and I followed in order to administer another dose; but so sudden and impeiuoue were his attacks. that. afl ernorrowly escaping more than once, I was thin to leave the covert nod watch for a chance of a shot. outside. Presently he broke corert, on the other side. and wentot‘f full speed for the river. with the whole. prick of dogs in full chase. I followed as lost. as I could. Upon arriving at the river, I found him at. boy the other side. I a-guin fired. but the distance was about eighty yards—too for to kill. Tre' mendously worried by the dogs, he repeatedly took to the Water. making down the stream:— I continued a warm firc lrom the opposite hunk over ageing! the tent. Alter receiving many balls, he swam across in the deep water t-o~ words me. I waited until he was within ten yards of the Water’s edge, and fired. This shot; proved fatal; his no’se sank beneath toe stream, the waters of which were dyed with his blood; while some of the dogs climbed upon his back, biting his ears and worrying him to the last. I certainly obtained this animal solely from the exertions of the dogs. It. was highly ex citing to see the battle in the water. The staunch manner in which they stuck to him was really wonderful, and excited my admira tion not. a little. . - To hunt. bufi'alo successfully, it- is necessary the hunter should have a perfect knowledge of their habits and modes of life; he should be able to follow their spoor in the bush, to tell how old it. is. whether the animal is alarmed and moving rapidly, or is merely feeding as he goes along. He should know where to‘ look for them nt’difl'crent periods of the day. and, when found, how to approach them, and above all. when wounded, how‘to secure them. With out this knowledge the Sportsman’s education is incomplete, and besides want. of success. he will find himself frequently in dangerous and difficult. situations nnbh as would not occur to a i t more accomplished‘bro’ther sportsman.

' The cows and your“! bufinloare to be found in horde; the Old bulls are generally alone, or perhaps in small hoops. from three to ten in number. About. the time the rows attire, and for weeks afterwards, the bulls remain with the rest of the herd; they then separate, and, Ihnugh they are Occasionally all found together, they are more usually apart. The cows hide their young in the thickest. and most. bushy klonfS. keeping by them during the day, and leading them forth at. night to feed. About. sunset, when not much dist urhed, the herd may by. seen gathering at. the edge of the bush: du rtng the night» they come out into the open plains and graze; soon after daybreak they re turn to the hush, seeking the thickeetand most. impenetrable places. “ht-re. sheltered ft om the heat of the sun. they sleep until the approach of night again calls them forth.

Very early in the morning is the best time for homing. as they may then be found on the plains, and may be intercepted on their return. to the bush, and hunted on horseback. Some times they return early to their favorite kloofl. . It. is then necessary to follow the spear, obser ving the utmost. precaution not to make any noise.

The large horns and tough skin of thebufi‘th 10 render a long shot useless.

A single animal is more easily approached than a herd; wheu'in number: some are always standing on the look-out. '5. solitary bull. on the contrary, will sometimes rise within hali‘arlozen paces. When wounded. and in the bush or long reeds, they are exoced~ ingly dangerous. The extreme rapidity with which they dash through the thickc st and strongest ect-cert, their quick sight and keen scent. render the utmost caution necessary.— Plunging along: a. game path, they will suddetb ly wheel round some Lush, and the hunter, following hot. upon the epoor is prostrate! hvfore he as time to raise his gun. It is then the vindictive and savage nature of the buffalo shows itsell‘; stomping with his fore tact. and goring with his horns, I have known them to break every bone in their victim’s Izody. With well trained (logs you may follow boldly, as by their incessant. barking you are made aware of his exact. locale, and the attacks of' the dogs occupy his attention sufficiently to allow of a deliberate aim being taken; hut dogs should he kept in leashes and slipped after the woun ded buti'alo; otherwise, if allowed to range in the covert. they would probably drive every one out without. a. shot being obtained. Buffaloes are greatly molested hy the swarms of flies and myriads of ticks which always accompany them. A very constant attendant upon them is the email brown bird called by the colonists the lick bird. 'lllls bll‘d is nlwaye found in considerable numbers in the neighbor hood of bnfi'aloes, and I have often noticed them flying and screaming in great agitation when we have approached their friends. I believe they not unfrequently give the alarm, which is followed by instantaneous flight.._ I bud often heard the story, but. confess ‘I what sceptical until convinced by ocular demonstra tion. Such is the African buffalo; cu‘ming and suspicious. it. is difficult to ayprnncfi. but when wounded and its passions roused, it is as dan gerous 221:! formidable m antagonist as the keeueat sportsman would wish to encounter. Fran) PorAToxs.—One of the wittiest and most. genial writers of the New York Daily Press, just now, is “C. H. W.,” who, in onenf his watering place letters to the i’imcs, describm the ecstasy of fried potaloe eating at Saratoga. laké: . ‘ Before coming to Sorotogs, I encountered a ‘ young lady who had just completed the tour of ‘ Niagara Falls and the White Mountains. To the question of what she hm] seen and found worth mentioning during her travels, she ro plied that. the fried potatoes at. Saratogo. lake were delightful. In the course of an hour’s conversation you could pump nothing from her 1 but. fried putato'ee. The same enthusiasm pre vn‘ils with every one you meet. The livery keeper urges you to have a. horse and ride or drive to the lake, and his main argument. is "fried potatoes.” The consequence isthutyou look forward with pleasant. longiugs to the time when you shall tnste those fried potatoes; you reserve them as the closing bonne bouche of your visit. and yet you are afraid to touch them for fear of disappointment. You will permit-me to tell you how the luxury should be enjoyed.— Therc is a. proper way of doing all things, even the eating of potatoes. You can go to the lake in an omnibus, dem ocratically; you can go in a. hack, aristocratic ally; or you can go in nbuggy, respects-Hy. If you are the favored correspondent of a New York daily. which paysyour expenses and never: examines the items of the account, it. is best. to go respectebly. Either to enhance the “he of the ride or to increase the reputation of his horses, the livery keeper will‘tell you the lake in distant. between five and six miles. Put no faith in the statement, but. drive off at a dog trot, and you’ll be on'its banks in less than half an hour. It is not good policy to take a lady with you; ladies never look well while eating, and there is nothing poetical about a potatoo. There is sometimes a piquont. expression about a. lady’s face when she is nibbling bot corn of the ear, like a coon, but, as _o general thing, that employment. is not. attractive to a looker-on. Hod Petrarch once seen his Laura with a. corn oob between her teeth. I apprehend that. the length of his love melodies would have been materially lessened. l When you drive up to the door of the Lake House, it. is not. necessary to any n. word; the waiter sees fried potatoes in your eyes, and passes the word tit once. But, if you wish a fresh trout, you must make that wish manifest. Very soon on aroma comes floating on the sir, and then it. is well to go down on the banks of the lake and throw stones in the water till the boy calls you to the house, because the very smell of the sizzling vegetable is intoxicating. Seat. yourself at the table, restrain nll enthusi asm on your part, or on that. of your compan ion. and eat moderately. Beware of indiscreet haste in placing the tempting morsels in your mouth. for they are hot. Threaten your cam panion with the infliction of your lost poem if he ventures to speak, and then proceed deer rously to eat. Übstinately reluso to belie e that. you have a peach in your mouth instead of a potatoe. Swallow with deliberation. and do not. eat to satiety. When there are no potatoes left, rise slowly from the table, and tell the proprietor that. you wish a. glass of water withn. fly in it—the fly is for the benefit of the trout, you understand. If the trout does not rise at the fly, it. is no matter; you have done your duty in that respect. and' the fish is derelict— no blame to you. Now pay your bill, if you have money enough,and drive off; it‘you haven't, money.enough, the same rule is imperative-fin either event drive elf—but. in the latter it. Is '.'ell to urge the horse a. little. Start. for New York the next morning, and if at. M}? subse quent period of your life any one Intimates to ‘ you' that. the gods on high Olympus hvo on nectar and embrosio, tell them they are fatally mistaken—that their exclusive diet is tried po tntoes, a trout, and a glass of something with it. fly in it. _
