As if bv mutual cousont,oaoh gradually coaled struggling to regain his breath, aud as much as five minutes must, havo elapsed wliilo they were locked in this motionless but tcrriblo embrace. Suddenly the bull, by ono desjierato effort, wrenched his head from tho grasp of his adversary, and re treated a fow stops. The bear stood up to receive him.

'1 he lunges and thrusts of tho form er wero perfectly furious. At length by a sudden and well directed blow of the head, ho got ono of his horus under the hear s belly, nud gave it a rip that brought out a clotted mas of entrails. It was apparent that tho battle must soon end. Both were greviously wounded, and neither could hold out inueh longer. 'I he ground was torn up and covored with blond for some distance around, and the panting of tho struggling animals became each moment heavier and quicker. Maimed and gory, they fought with the corttuuly of death tho bear rolling ovor, and vainly trying to avoid tho fatal horns of his adversary tho bull ripping, thrusting aud tearing with irrcsiiliblo ferocity. At last, as if determined to end the con flict, tho bull drew hack, lowered his head, and mado one tremendous charge ; but, b'inded by the blood that trickled down I his forehead, ho missed his mark and roll ed headlong on the ground. In an instant tho bear whirled and was upon him, thor oughly invigorated by tho prospect of speedy victory ; ho tore the flesh in huge masses from the ribs of his prostrate foe.

A letter from a Sergeant in tho Twenty-nintk Massachusetts Beg iincnt, dated "Near Norfolk, Va., Camp Misery, fifteen miles from Uhe knowt- vgcof Ltoilt' May 13th, 1802," says that Cantuiu Trinns oompany was as well as could be .oxpected, considering their situ?. tiou. eerWhouis a Man uot a Man ! When bo's three sUits m the winj, Pocahontas and John Smith. It has always been a grief to romantic readers of tho early historv of Yirciniai that, two poisons who seemed so well suited ' to eaoh other as tho bravo discoverer and the noble daughter of l'owhnttan, should not havo beootne man and wif. Tho pre cise difficulty in tho case has not been made plain by any historian. An exf hango intimates that Mr. ltolfo. to whom sho1 wa3 inavrie,l aui his friends, wero guilty of a base deoontion. in making her beliovo that Oapt. Smith was dead. It says ; There is no doubt what tho muso of history oight to do here. Were sho a damo of proper sensibilities, sho would have Mr. John Smith married to Miss P. Powhattan as soon as a parson could be got from Jamestown. Were it a romance that would be the result. As it is, we find Smith going off to England in two years, and living uumarricd until his death; and Pocahontas married to the Englishman John Rolfo, for rcasous of state, we fear, .-a link of friendship be tween the reds and the whites being thought desirable. She was of course Christianized and baptized, as any one may see by Chapman's picture in the ro tunda at Washington, unless Zouave crit icism has demolished it. Immediately she went with her husband to England. At Bontford, whero sho was staying, Capt. Johu smith went to visit her. Their meeting was significant and affecting. "Af ter a modest salutation sho turned away, and hid bar face, a3 if displeased." She remained thus motionless for two or three hours. Who can know what struggles passed through tho heart of tho Indian bride at this moment emotions doubly unutterable to this untaught stranger ? It seems that she had been deceived by ltolfo and his friends into thinking that Smith wa.i dead, under the conviction that sho could not bo induced to marry him if sho thought Smith alive. After her long, sad cilcucc before mentioned, she came forward to Smith, aud touchingly reminded him, there in tho prcsenoc of her husband and a large company, of tho kindness sho had shown him iu her own country, saying ''You did promi.-e Powhattan what was youis should be his, aud ho the like ta you. You called him 'father,' being in his land a stranger, and for the same rea son so must call you." After a pause during which sho seemed to be uuder the influence of strong emotion, tho said, "I will call you 'father,' and you shall call me 'child,' aud so I will bo forever aud ever your countryman." Then she added slowly and with emphasis, ''Thoy did tell me always you were dead, and I knew no other till I came to Plymouth ; yet Pow hattan did command Uttainattomakin to see you aud know the truth, because your countrymen will lie much." l't was not long after thn iuterviow that Pocahontas died. She never returned to Virgiuiu. Iler death occurred in 1GI7. Tho issue of her marriage was one child, Thomas ltolfo ; ao it is through him that . tho first families of Virginia ate so invar iably descended from tho Indian princess. I Captain Smith lived utitil 16ai,and as wo have said, never married. He was a no ble and truo man, and Pocahontas was overy way worthy to bo his wife ; and ouo feels very ill-natured at Holfo and com - pany for tho cruel deception wuicli, wo must believe, was all that kept them asuu- der, and gave the story of the lovely maid ' eu its almost tragic close.
