From small beginnings I had gradually risen to a station far beyond that to which I looked forward when I started in life. Emboldened by the titiedeis which had attended my former ynsacticam, I plunged deeply into the rail waif epeculitions which were then so prey and the result was that my golden vi iions vanished with those of other dreamers, and I found myself the loser'of the bulk of say fortune, having, however, luckily saved ai small portion from the general wreck. It was a heavy blow to me. So confident 114'Theen of success, that I had been revolv ing the project of a marriage with a lady of amiable wealth, and therefore the disclosure • of tk i real state of my affairs came like a tlanailer clap. But any previous struggles with,tlie world having hardened my sensi bility and sharpened my penetration, 1 at once set' about collecting the ruins of my 004:lefty, and consulted with my friends as 1 50 thai. best means of employing the little cap ital. with which I was to begin the world afresh.' heli' a dvice was rather contradictory ; 'oilt,A length an idea of, my own originating, in their judgment.— Acting upon it 1, purchased somelend in the vicinity of the Cupe Colony„ p ad eel off to nay new home there. When f a I taarr- rived. I found • my land situated upon the very borders of the civilized districts; in deed, it was more advanced than any of the pieces already occupied. The natives were rather friendly, for the war having been concluded to their apparent satisfaction, they seemed inclined to show kindness to the whitts. My task was pretty hard, but I bore up against new difficulties with an energy which surprised me. By degrees my lone. liness was alleviated by a few new comers who settled round me, and I began to be re conciled to my novel situation. After the first years had passed ; I became more ac commodated to my work ; indeed, I found it much lighter and easier than when I had to break the ice, as I may say. On Christmas eve, 1850, a party, compo sed of friendly neighbors, was assembled round my hearth for the purpose of renew ing in a foreign land the festivities with which the season is celebrated in England. First in rank, (according to my colony no tions.) sat John White, who had been in the employ of the settlers since he was a boy of ten, which was then thirty years ago. Du ring this time he had acquired an extensive knowledge of Cape life, and contrived to save sufficient to purchase a piece of land contiguous to mine. The next was a ten years' settler, Harry Percy, who also under stood something of the wild countries ; and the remaining two, Richardson and Hall, were men of about thirty, and a few months my juniors in the experience of this kind of We were seated round the fire talking over our several ad ventures and experiences, when a violent knocking at the door inter rupted us, and a voice exhorted us to admit the owner for the sake of God. Our party were on their feet in an instant, and we at once opened the door to the stranger, who ruched in with looks of terror. By his dress, which was torn and much stained with dirt, we recognized him as one of the native police, and eagerly interrogated him as to the cause of his alarm. He explained, that having, with a com panion, gone in search of a man who had stolen some bullocks, three Knflirs had at tacked them in the evening, within a quar ter of a mile of my house, when his fellow had been killed, and he himself had escaped with difficulty. Under these circumstances he implored our protection, which, I need not say, was readily granted. Rumors of an outbreak among the native tribes had reached us, and therefore we had thought it prudent to keep our weapons near us, although apprehensive of no imme diate danger. My friend White glanced at the row of rifles which our party had placed by the wall, and observed—• The man says there are only three. We are five, and could see Justice done." The native eagerly seconded this sugges tion, and the result was, that seizing our weapons, we quitted my house in search of the robbers, leaving Hall behind to protect my property. The night was rather threatening. When the moon occasionally shone forth with a faint glim Mer, we could discern great piles of clouds approaching, or already surround ing her. Only here and there a star could make itself visible, and as we went on, even these wholly disappeared. We followed the stranger for at least half a mile, anxiously looking round for signs of the presence of his late assailants. Not a sound, however, broke the heavy silence of the night. We proceeded over a piece of rising ground which lay within my bounds, and when these latter were passed, contin ued our course into a little valley which was situated beyond. We hurried along the path which had been worn in the centre, while at our right and left hands rose a sloping embankment, forming a rather lofty wall on either side.— These walls were covered with long grass, interspersed with trees and bushes of vari ous kinds. No settler had yet taken posses sion of it, although it was a promising spot, and consisting of fertile earth, as :he abun dance and richness of its vegetation, even without artificial assistance, plainly proven. We had reached the centre of this minia ture valley when our native guide suddenly stopped. He said in a low whisper to White— ' •It was here or about dey stop me. I. creep forward soft, find 'em, and come back to tell. , No!' replied the veteran colonist, 'you lead us to them. We can come gently after you.' The other urged objections with such ea gerness, and hesitated so much to proceed with us at his heels, that White became the more resolute to accompany him. .You are a stranger to us,' he observed, in reply to the ebullition of argument—•we came here to protect you, and if you prac -1 lice treachery, you shall dearly answer for, it." As he spoke, he reached his hand to grasp him by the shoulder. The fellow, alarmed at the action, eluded him and sprang into thick bush close by, uttering a loud cry.—, A sickening emotion of despair seized us when we perceived the treachery which had been practised upon us. With a•furi- ous imprecation White raised his rifle in the direction of the fugitive, a stream of flame poured from its muzzle into the bush,a yell of mortal agony mingled with the roar of the explosion, and resounded with it among the hills. , One of 'em !' muttered White, between his teeth. A chorus of cries burst from the ambush ! ed savages, and we heard the rustling of the lon g grass and the trampling of many feet in close proximity. We commenced rapid ly retracing our steps. White leading, and reloading by the way. We were soon con vinced by the savage noises which were heard in our, rear that we were discovered, and in a few moments we became aware that the whole band of wretches were in full pursuit. Favored by the darkness, we contrived to ensconce ourselves in the midst of a clump of trees before our foes could overtake us.— 'They passed the place of our concealment in hot pursuit, and in a few minutes had put some.distance between us and them.— But their fierce yells were echoed with such fearful distinctness that a foe seemed to be approaching from every side, and we knew not which way to turn. Cautiously emerging from our conceal ment, we hurried to avail ourselves of the shelter of another clump of bushes, and by thus changing our quarters several times, we contrived to get over some distance.— Once, when we were starting for a fresh ambush, we all distinctly hectid a rustling noise in the grass, and shrank back in dis may. We remained for some time anx iously listening a repetition of it ; but in a few minutes we heard the return of Kaffirs, who were rushing along the path at a furi- ous rate. White, who understood the purport of their exclamations, informed us that they believed we had evaded their pursuit.— Overjoyed at the prospect of escaping their anticipated vengeance, we were crouching still closer in concealment while they pass ed, when, to our unspeakable dismay, a fig ure started from the long grass within three yards of us, and leaped directly into the path- way. 'All up !' whispered White to us; 'what we wish to keep we must fight for When I consider that I had never seen a shot fired in earnest before, and looked at the odds which were against us, I urn surprised at the coolness with which I examined my rifle and prepared my knife for deadly work. —My energies were all collected to sustain the excitement of the struggle, and I even awaited the onset of the savages with impa tience. They were not long assembling in a body directly in our front, where they deliberated for a few minutes. Our inclinations prompt ed us to let fly amongst them while they were thus crowded together, but Henry Per cy urged the necessity of reserving our fire, and therefore we waited. Presently our enemies made a simultane ous movement, and a shower of spears fell upon the bush in front. They then uttered their war cry and rushed on us, keeping huddled together in a large mass. 'Utley were within three yards of us when, taking steady aim at breast height, we dis charged our weapons among them. A fiend ish chorus of screams of agony and impre cations of vengeance ensued, by which we were made aware that our fire had not been without due effect. Checked but for an instant, our ferocious foes, howling with fury, leaped into the bush, behind which we lay concealed. Now, we found that a hand to hand struggle must de cide the question. We rose to our feet and fell upon the bloodthirsty wretches with the utmost fury( Grasping my rifle by the bar rel with both bands, 1 dashed the stock down upon them with a force that must have made a due impression on all who encount ered the descending weapon. The mad dened yells of the savages, the continual crashing of bushes, the deep imprecations and short breathings of our party, and the heavy sound of the rapidly interchanged blows, all mingling together, produced a frightful effect. From the manner in which they had attacked us, and the horrible cries to which they continually gave vent,' could not look upon our assailants as beings of my own species ; and in the midst of the awful din I continued my heavy blows as if I had a troop of ghouls to contend with, who were fighting only for our blood. During the first panic we contrived to keep them at a fair distance, but they soon passed so close that our clubbed rifles be came unavailable. I drew my knife and sprang to grapple with a huge fellow who was preparing to dash his formidable hatch et upon the head of White, who was alrea dy engaged. Had we been on oven giound I should have been able to have struck hint before he could have been ready 'for me ; but by floundering amid the bushes I lost my op pokunity. I however speedily wrested his weapon from his grasp, and was preparing to do execution upon him, but a friend came to his assistance, and in a moment after, I was upon the ground, struggling between the pair. My fresh antagonist appeared to be chief- ly intent on obtaining possession of my rifle, and he seized' it by the barrel and commen ced twirling it about to effect his purpose.— Seeing a favorable opportunity I suddenly relinquished my hold, and with the disen gaged hand put a period to the opposition of his fellow. Turning to rise from the ground, I beheld the second native standing over me and preparing to bring down the stock of my gun upon me. Before I had time to lift an arm in defence, it fell upon my head with a crash that sent flashes of fire across my eyes and deprived me of all sense. After some time passed in an insensible state, 1 began to experience a feeling of suf focation, which caused me• to make several convulsive efforts to draw my breath ; then recollection slowly returned to me and open ed my eyes. I found myself lying upon the floor or kind of hut, I guessed was Kaffir workmanship, and near me, though not watching me, stood a native warrior. Gleams of strong light were thrown into the place through the door. proceeding, us I judged, from a large fire, and illumined some portion of the hut, while the remainder was left in total darkness. From my dark corner, I oh- served some person lying down at a distance, and the light, suddenly flashing with more than usual brightness, revealed poor White, bound with strong twigs, and looking as dis- consolnte as possible. Seeing him so firmly secured, I exnmined my own limbs, fully expecting to find my- self in the some condition withe was upon me, and I left assured that my captors believed me to. be dead. I was aware from what I had heard of their chracter that they would not allow us to live, it being their custom to murder their prisoners in cold blood ; and thus my ideas were immediately directed to the means of effecting an escape from present custody.— I took a thorough mental survey of the as pect of the things in my prison, as I sup pose I may term, it, and set about concoct ing a scheme. Vesicle White myself, and the native, there was evidently no other living being in the place. The native was armed only with a rifle, which I had little difficulty, in recog nising as my poverty, and was standing with his back to me, looking at %Vitae, and occasionally addressing a scolling remark to him. It was apparent to me that, couldn't pre. vent this man from rushing from the hut he possessed but two means of alarming his countrymen—natnely, his voice and his gun. I had not the least doubt of my abili ty to overcome him if he were deprived of the powers of rousing his fellows; and as I was conscious nothing could be done with out first putting him out of the way Fre solved at once to make an attempt upon him. Rising slowly and with great care from my recumbent posture, I stood on my feet, and made sure I had but one to cope with. Satisfied of this, I moved forward with the same caution till 1 had got within a yard of my foe. He was standing leaning upon his rifle upon the verge of the.dark portion of the place, his back being towards me. Thus my shadow would protect the from obser vation until I had crept so near as to touch him. I went as close as I dared venture, and calculated on the means of preventing an alarm. A thought suddenly flashed across me as I stood thus deliberating. I acted upon it im mediately. As the fellow was leaning on the gun, the stock placed upon the ground behind his foot. 1 couched on my knees, reached forward my hand, gently opened the pan, and wiped out the pri:ning with my finger. • This accomplished, I once more rose to my feet. A minute was spent in deliberation, and then I sprang to his side, placed my right hand upon his throat, which I grasped with all my strength, and clasped him round the waist with my left arm, at the same time pulling him opposite' elbow to his back with my disengaged hand. Half strangled, and unable to articulate, he raised the rifle, and as I forced him back into the darkness, heard the ineflectual click of the lock. Ex erting all my science in wrestling, I threw him heavily upon his back, falling with him and keeping my hold upon his windpipe.- 1 placed my knee upon his chest and in a few minutes, after a useless struggle on his part, I knew, that he would never speak more. . • . then left him and stole up to White, who had been an amaze& spectator of my feat,. and asked him a few questions about the best manner of proceeding, at the same time releasing him from bondage. [ln told me that our two friends had made good their es cape from their assailants, but that he, being entangled in the bush, was unable to follow ,them, and consequently had been taken pris oner'; and that the natives were sleeping, outside while the man 1 had killed whose brother and father had perished in the Amy had remained in the hut to Mint him. Ile advised that we should proceed quietly through the midst of our sleeping enemies and it we were discovered he said the best we could do was to make a rush for it, as our lives depended on our success. These, hurried words having passed be tween us, I secured my rifle and Joined my companion at the entrance. As we cau tiously emerged into the open nir. I pre ceived that the natives had kindled a fire to protect them from the attacks of wild beasts and were sleeping around it. 'We passed them in the full glare of the flame without disturbing them, and began to feel assured of our safety. . My friend was pointing out the path which led to our settlement, when 1 suddenly struck my foot against a dark object that lay before me. A yell broke from it, and I felt my leg in the grasp of a pair of hands. I commenced striking with desperate fury in the direction of my unseen foe, who redou• bled his cries, which soon aroused the circle of natives sleeping round the fire.—One of them threw a biasing brand in our direction the light from which exposed the whole af fair. Clutching my leg with all his strength lay the fellow who had caused the mischief while White and myself were endeavoring to disengage him. The light enabled me to direct my blows with certainty.and a crush ing hit on the forehead soon laid the rascal on his back. There was no time to be lost, for we had drawn the whole gang upon us. "Run for it !" exclaimed White, now con. cealment was at an end ; "those devils will follow like wild-fire." We darted off at such n pace es men - only can run when dear life depends on their ex ertions. The forest trees flew past us as we held on in the homeward path ; our pursu ers followed also at a prodigous speed, oc casionally sending a spear by way of amu- However, not a Ml@ It was a sultry night, and I soon began to feel the effects of My unusual exercise The perspiration poured Iron my skin as I toiled on by the side of my more hardy companion who was accustomed to long runs, and who bounded along like a denizen of the woods we were traversing. • At length I began to experience the sen satioa.of a bandage being bound raund my brain, my eyes became hot and dry, and I drew my breath with difficulty. I panted with such violence that White gave me his hand, and assisted me on the way. Our pursuers kept to the chase with that speed and preseverance for which savage ra ces are so notorious. At periods they salut ed us with a shower of their rude spears, accompanied by yells of defiance, and once or twice the sound of a rifle shot resounded in the solitude. Both Weapons were, how ever, equally harmless and could we have maintained our pace, we had an excellent chance of making good our escape. But tile pressure upon my brain became more arid more oppressive, andl ran on al most mechanically. My gallant friend cheer ed me with his voice, and assisted me with his hand ; but nevertheless, my efforts be came more feeble, as each yard of our course was left behind, and at last, with blood ' gushing from my nose. I reeled. against the massive trunk of a forrest pat riarch, and stammered out my inability to proceed_ "Only another mile, Thornley, and you're at your own door," replied White. 'No, no ! save yourself—not another step.' [ stammered. "Well if that's the case, we most do our best against you devils ; but as to savin' my self, why, in the Truth, I won't leave you ad inch !" was the energetic response. We drew.between two trees to conceal ' ourselves ; but the moon having emerged from behind the clouds which had shaded ' her in the early part of the evening, betray • ed the movement to our enemies, who were soon yelling in front. ' "Here's for the first of yoti !" exclaimed White, as he retreated behind one of the trees and levelled my rifle at the first who approached. But the priming not having' been replaced. the action was harmless, and a heavy blow by the stock was substituted. If they don't come behind, we may keep'. ern some time, whispered my companion ; but even as he spoke the crashing of heavy bodies was heard amid the bushes in our rear. "I'll pay the coming one !" resumed he and he ran up close to•the bushes; and took his stand by a gleam of moonshine, across which these fresh assailants would be com pelled to pass. A form emerged mato the light, and the watcher uttered an exclamation pf joy ns he discovered that the stranger wasa white - ipan. Our two'friends who escaped had 'Tinkered a strong party for our res.cue,•and guided by the yells of the Kaffirs, had hastened to save or avenge us ; and a score of dead bodies and many wounds on living °nee attested how well they kept their word. ' "NOT QUITE THE CHEESE."--A STRONG SKETCH. On entering my rooms a few evenings since, I found Vol. 19th, of the 'Spirit,' fresh from the bindery. Opening it, I commen ced carelessly turning over the leaves, when my eyes fell on the sentence above, “Not quite the cheese." Now, what the deuce gave rise to that saying 1 thought 1, as the words• recalled•tn memory a scene which was rather a:.strong' impression On a sensi tive organ, I did not easy forget it. Some years since I was employed as a (Prom the Spirit if the 7imes.) warehouse clerk, in a large shipping•house in New-Orleans, and while in that capacity, I came across something that wasn't "quite the cheese," as the sequel will testify. One day a vessel came in, consigned to the house, having on board a large lot of cheese from New York ; during the voy age, some of them had become damaged by bilge water, consequently the owners refu sed to receive it, as it was not, as the bills of lading said, "Delivered in good order and well condition," they were therefore sent td the consignees of the ship, to be stored until the case could be adjusted. I discovered a few days afterward, that as to perfume, they were decidedly too fragrant to remain in the ware-house in June, and reported the same to the concern, from whom I received orders to have them overhauled, and send all that was passable to Beard & Calhoun's auction mart, to be disposed of for the benefit of the underwriters. and the rest to the swamp. I got a gang of black boys to work on the.n, and when they stirred em up,4le the bones of Moll Kelly's quart mug I but the smell.was illigant intirely.".• I kept a res. pectable distance, believe me, 'for "Wong" nigger and "strong" cheese, on a hot June day, just bangs all common essences, inclu. ding"a certain .varmint' we read about. Presently the boys turned out an immense fellow,about three beet six 'across the stump,' from w4iclrthe boil had' rotted ofi ; in the centre a space of about ten inches was very much decayed, and appeared to be about the consistency of mush, of a bluish tint, which was caused by the bilge water. The boys 'had just set' it up on its edge. on a bale at gunny bags, when I noticed over the way' a . big darkey from Charleston, S. C , who was notorious for his butting propensities, having given most of the niggers in the vi. cinity‘a 'taste of his quality in that Hew. I had seen him and another fellow, the night previous, practising ; they would stand. one on each side of a 'hydrant some ten yards distant and run at each other with their heads lowered, and clapping their hands oa the hydrant , they would butt like veteran rams. A thought struck me that I might cure him of his bragging and butting, and have somo'sport also, so I told the boys to keep dark, (which, by the way, caused very little exertion to them' all niggers,),and I called "Old Jake" over. "They tell me you are a great fellow for • butting, Jake ?" is some, Massa, das a fac—l done butt de well 'tirely orf ob old Pete's head last night, and Massa Nichols was gwine to gib me goss ! I kin jiss bang de head orf ob any nigger in dese parts, myrielf--.I kin !" • "Well, Jake, I've got a little' job in that line for you when you haven't anything else to do." "I'se on hen for all dam kin of jobs, my. self—l is." "Well, you see that large cheese back therei?" "1 dose dat ! I dose, myself." "Now, if you can butt a dent in it, you shalt have• ' "Golly, Massa 1 you Toolin' dis nigger 1" No: am not, Jake—just try me.' "Wot ! you gib me de hull ob dat chectfu if I Ulm a dent in um V' "Yes." "De Lor I I'll bust'em wide open, I will myself. • Jess stan back dar, you Orleans niggers, and clan de track for Ole Souf Car. line; 'case I'se' a emir), myself—l is !" And Old Juke started back some fifty feet, and went at it at a good quick run, and the neitt instant I heard a dull, heavy sound a kind of Squish, and Old Jake's head diah peared from sight, with the' top just visible on the other side, as he arose with his new fashioned necklace, the sof rotten cheese oozing down all around • him, as it settled down, so that just his' eyes were visible.— From the centre of it Jake's voicel was scarcely audible, and half smothered, as he vainly tried to remove the immense cheese.' er' de'L'or !
