,; : HIS ADVENjtiRE WITH THE^WOLVES.
Hie recklessmasand daring ofltie famous Trx»
an RaageriCapLlUM Hasan, in from the
Mexicans, oiler the capture of Mqor CLuxxs.'and
his companions, inßnwmniwnnj fa familiar to our
readers—and we see Congress is about to reward

giving him I*2SO acre*4jggnnd, and a bond of ft?,-
000. Bnt Captain Hxannta adventure with the
wolves is not so wet) known, and we think our
readers will not regret the space it occupies, if we
lay it before them. We eopy from the Democratic
Review, leaving out the introductory portions.—
While he was a Texan Ranger, under the com
mand of M’Collosgh, before the famous Mier ex
pedition, Dan was despatched, along with three
others, to the head waters of the Nueces, on a tour
of observation. Having reached the foot of the
mountains, without meeting any Indians, Dan and
his companions fanned a camp, and the next day
each took his-own course, with the intention of
returning to camp in the evening to report. Dan
travelled until noon, when a scene of remarkable
natural loveliness arrested his attention, and cans
‘ ed him to holL
'Daa has not much poetry in him, bat he could
not help being both astonished and enchanted by
the strange, wild loveliness of this scene. He slid
from his saddle, and stood leaning against it only
for a moment or two of wrapt contemplation, when
the habitual instincts of watchfulness pecolisr to
the ranger, caused him to change his position, and
tarn his head. As be did so, be perceived one of
the droves of mustangs (wild horses) moving slow*
ly towards him. They were a long way off, and !
there appeared nothing peculiar about them—faut j
it served to remind hun that he had a abort time '
before seen the Unshod tracks of horses and mules I
moving at a gallop, or that, though they might be |
nothing more than mustangs, yet the simple tact of
their going at a gallop, was in itself suspicions of
another fact or so—either that they were the tracks
of Indian hones and mules, or of mustangs that
had been chased or otherwise frightened by them;
so that whatever of eochanimeut there may have
been far him in the scene, it now gave place quick*
; ly to caution,and his head tamed rapidly from side
'to side, with the habitual manner of the old spy.—
Hjs eye now and then fell u|>oa the advancing
i drove,' but not with any consciously defined sos«
i. pinion. At length they disappeared slowly down
along volley, like the sway of the prairie undula"
tion, and were oat of sight so long that be had
quite forgotten them, when suddenly they appear*
ed again on this side, moving directly towards him,
at a swiff gallop. He bounded Into his saddle as
quick as thought, supposing that, may be ooe or
two Indians who were mustang banting had laia
. in wait for this herd, in the deep grass of that prau
rie valley, and were now chasing them with the |
lasso—urged his bone behind one of the many!
clamps of cactus around him, with the intention of I
lying in wait to give these dusky wild horse hunt- I
ers a trial for their scalps as timy went past him.
Ajt he changed his position, the figures which !
were,'.approaching became more distinctly defined 1
ngaipsi the back ground of sky, for they were de«
scending towards, him! He saw whst sent his j
heart into Lis throatthat each animal had on 1
Indian slung along its side, by one bond and foot,.
bolding to either horn of the saddle! This is a !
common trick of theira in approaching an ene»
mv by daylight, on the prsries, and it is difficult,
of a distance, by the most experienc-!
ed eye, as they ride close together, sod uo part
of the body is shown above the outline of the ;
horse. Dan was off urg- twinkling! The tables 1
were very suddenly turned, for instead of taking
a scalp or two himself, as be had expected, it |
would requlre'the best he knew to save his own.
It was welt he could trust his horse, for they
bad got so close to him that his escape at alt
must be a matter-of sheer speed—he must ran
away Cram them orfibe run through by them.—
“To be or not to be?* was the question now with !
poor Dan, while he desperately urged bis horse
with quirt and spur. So toon as they saw him
start the rascals had wheeled up into their sad» 1
dies again, and yelled their war»wboop, like ex*
ulting devils. This was a sound which, though

energy or urgency of the calls upon the ;
speed of his bone, which were made by Dan.—
He glanced furtively over bis shoulder and saw
that they were spreading out into the prairie with ;
the intention of hemming him in against the '
mountains.
He instantly perceived that his only chance was i
a desperate ran lor the elbow of the chain, which i
if he could reach and turn first, he thought he
would secure bis scalp for the present, os around |
it the stream became heavily timbered, and be j
' knew they would not follow him into it for fear
they might come-opon his friends. It was a tre
mendous race, for they knew the advantage ss well
as he, and pan vows that his long curly hair began
to straighten and liff his cap on its ends before he

it would be safest not to tarry here toiprt oat of

alone! 9o sway be went tbropgb Ibe woods for
five or six miles without balling. The harry end
necessity of hb flight had taken him off his course
back to the rendezvous of hi* com (an ions. He now
first discovered this as he emerged from the limber
upon the prairie again, and found himself for
enough away from the comae of the stream.
He paused bat for a moment, to collect himself
and try qnd get back the tree idea of his direction.
Thinking he bad it, be urged bis horse into a swiff
run sga*u. This was kepi up for several hours

to give unmjstakeabte indications that he must have
a rest before be weal much farther. He came at

cut, and as be he supposed, in the direction of
tbewest branch of the Nueces. He bad passed the
camp for enough, be knew, but this would set him
right if be followed it up when day break came/
So be selected a small piece of meadow ground |
which was coyered with mosquil grass, and well ;
protected fiotn view by the dorter of cactus
which snmraoded it on three sides. Hera he strip
ped his foilhju) burse and turned biro loose to
grace, and then taking (or supper a hearty draught
of water, threw himself upon bis blanket to sleep.
He had lost his proviston wallet in the chase,
sod it was more than he venture upon to
shoot game, for fear of betrsymg bis hiding place,
.and though hungry enough, be was fain this time
“to go lo bed sapperlesa." He thought of home be
fore sleep came of course, and wished himself there
most heartily, that be might attack the well stock/

most - tantalising visions before him daring the

A few bounds more, and the terrific surges are

and can scarcely stand for mortal terror, i
He is safe! He has accomplished an Unparal

Stunned and gasping to recover the use 6f their
almost stifled lungs, he and his hone,aland aide by

step for more than an hour. But the perils of the
day were by no means passed. Before him, os
far as bis eye could reaett, there was only one
charred, levelled smouldering waste, which had
to be crossed before he could reach water, for
which, both himself and horse were now perishing.
He started on at last, taking bit course at random,
for one seemed to his bewildered sense about as
good os an another. He did not ride at first, but
mercifully led his poor hone, until tbe heat of the
ground and the still smouldering stubs of grass
becameinsuflerahle to his feet end then ho tur
ned to mount.
He now tor tbe first time, looked at tbe animal
carefully, and to his horror saw that every hair
upon its body wns gone aod nothiog’bat the bare akin

last energies of his staking life. In an hour he had
begun dixxy aod the ' blackened earth

Now a strangefnoise was about him, and as the
lifting waves of the earth would almost teem to
leap ap into hi# face be would catch glimpses of
hoge Wolves careering on them, who would turn
up their fiery eyes to his and howl at trim with red
het open mouth and lolling tongnes! Suddenly his
horse rttibed;down a steep bank and there was a
great splashing. 'Water! BlenedGod, water. He
tumbled from hi* saddle into Ike cold delicious
fluid. In an instant bis senses had re tamed, and
be saw bimse!f surrounded by thirty or forty prairie
wolves,' some of whom were swimming in the
water oiler him while others sat upon the bank of
Ibe small lake as bo now discovered it to be, and
bowled fiercely at him. He strack those which
were nearest with bis gen barrel and beat them off,
while he had time to draw his heavy knife. Ooe
of them bad seized his passive horse, who, while it
was endeavoring to pall him down, stood still and
drank—the tong eager draughts. He spill the
Wolfs head with his knife, and soon vent the rest
back oat of the water, yelling with their wounds.
But those upon the bonk only howled the the loud*
er, and were answered'near at hand and from alar
by hundreds erf others, who were swiftly gathering
in at the well known call to u banquet
He now remembered that these wearied and
infernal brutes always collect in large cambers, to
follow ia the wake of a great prairio fire and tear
the carcasses of those animals foal ore lolled; or
band together, to ebase and drawdown those that
come through alive, bat seorcaed, blinded, and
staggering, as was his poor hone. They beaome
very savage, with blood, impunity ami numbers,
and very few creatures which hare escaped from
the hungry flames can escape from their ravenous
jaws. The creature, at other times, is utterly con
temptible for its cowardice, bat he laddered wben
he called to mind the dreadful stories he had beard
of their deadly fierceness at such times as this.

For tha PiUsSorgh Gazette.
Mr. White— -I see by your paper of Thursday,
thafa meeting has been held far the purpose of
concocting means by which to give a cordial re
ception to President Taylor on'his way to Wash*
iggtou City. I beg leave to make a suggestion
through your paper, to the Committee of arranges
menta appointed at »h*» meeting- la selecting a
boat to convey the committee of reception to and
from Wheeling, I think that do better selection
cduld be made than the new and fine steamer,
Zachary Taylor, which is now running as a
i tar packet from this city to that point There are
associations connected with the name of this boat
which, I think, should recommend her strongly to
the consideration ol the committee. The steamer
Zachary Taylor was constructed jast before the
silting cf the convention, for the nominating of a
candidate for the Presidency. Captain Li css, her
commander, delayed naming her until he should
hear of tiie decision of the convention; and as
soon as the news came that Gen. Zachary Taylor
waa the choice of the Convention, be cristened
his gallant steamer with the name of that dislin*
gushed man. This boat is plenty targe for the
purpose, and will afford accommodations equal to
any boat on the river.
There is another circumstance to which 1 would
call the attention of the committee of arrangements. |
Some time in November lost, Captain Lucas cor*:
responded with General Taylor, proposing that in
case he should be so tortmjate as to be called, by
the voice of the people, to Washington city, as
President ot the United States, to tender him the
hospitalities of bis boat from Kooge, or any
other given point on the Mississippi or Ohio rivers,
to Pittsburgh. ! came io possetuoo of this letter
some time since, and now lake the liberty of pre*
i senting it to the consideration of the committee of
arrangements, and the public, through your cola
[ umns, feeling sure that the plan I suggest will
| meet the approbation of aiL BUENA VISTA.
Batoi Rocoa, La., Dec. I#, 184 S.
My Dear Sir.—Yoor lei er of the 26ih ultimo,
Idndly inviting me to travel on your boat from any
Kint on the Ohio river which I may indicate, to

has been duly received.
I beg you to accept ray sincere thanks, for this
evidence of year friendly' regard; and to be aasnr
ed that it would afford me much pleasure to accept
this courtesy at your hands, if it were in my power
to do so. But I regret to inform you, that my en*
gagements on ray journey are so numerous and of
such a character, that I am wholly unable at pre
sent to give you a definitive answer to your
invitation; and 1 beg you, therefore, not to permit
me in any way to interfere with the regular basi

With my best wishes for yoor happiness and
prosperity through life, 1 remain, *ir, very respect*
