Camp Buen. Vim. Oct. 8, 1847.
As I have 'confessed the cape' and acknow
IndffeJ that I have visited the cock-pit, I may
a well give you a little Insight into one, al
though it may be somewhat tnat apropos after
describing a church.' ' Knowing that the good
PJre Ibarro was in tbt habit of fighting cocks
n Sunday, I thought it Would be perfectly safe
for a poor sinner like mo to po and look on and
accordingly, about 4 o'clock, I went to the
place, in company with a friend. ' There was a
small congregation .nutaide of Mexicans and eoL
diers discussing- the merits of a very 'rum' look
ing nld cock who had the appearance of having
seen the elephant in more than one 'main.' As
sorm as we entered the house, in the rest of
which was the pit, a furious crowinf in all
sorts of notes and from all sorts of tethered
cocks, announced that 'bright Chanticleer pro-
claimed' not the 'dawn', exactly, but that
bis soul was In atins ana eager for the fray,'
We entered the yard in which was the pit a
circle of ten or twelve feet in diameter, sur
rounded by a wall a couple of feet high. Out
s'ulo of this were three rows of rough beams,
ona shove another, supported at each end by a
square pile of adobes serving as seats for the
spectators. Tethered by the leg in oil direc
tions were cocka of all sorts, crowing and kick
ing and trying to break loose and get at each
other ; there were red cocka and brindle cocks,
grey cocks and black cocks, and what is techni
cally termed a hen cock that is a hen cock
who inherits all the belligerent propensities of
the male bird besides, possessing the accom
plishment of being able to lay eggs each one
evidently believing himself to bo "cock of the
walk.' The bipeds were quite as much of a
motley set as the birds, many of them evidently
ol what is termed in sporting parlance of 'the
dunghill breed' -excepting, of course, the wor
thy Padre lharro. After a great deal of chat
ting and talking, two cocks were pitted, snd
grey and red, and the gafTs, narrow blades of
steel, scimetar ahBped, and abo'.it thr.ee inches
long, sharp as a razor, were fixed upon their
legs. Some wag, seeing the padre, asked sn
officer's colored servant named Columbus, who
was present, if the priest performed service on
the occasion, to which tho witty nsmesake of
the great discoverer replied: 'No, sir, don't
think they do, unless be does it afore the cocks
ia pitted.'
The sheaths of the gaffs were removed and at
it they went, but after a few passes the grey
r.ock received oiie or two blows and ran, where
upon the padre cracked him over the head with
Kin cane, stretching him lifeless. This is the
usual custom, I believe, with a running bird ;
i!io old sdage 'He who rights and runs away
will live to fight another day,' not holding good
i'i cock fighting. After a tedious wait and more
rowing and talking, my female friend the hen
cock, wne pitted against a big red rooster and
hi it they went. The odda were in favor of
the he one, but the hen soon exhibited bottom
and proved that she waa 'up to trap' by dealing
the old 'un several severe blows. He crouched
down once as if begging pardon for his presump
tion, whereupon the knowing 'uns' cried out
that the 'she'u n had him, and the two combat
rants commenced picking up pebbles from the
ground, each watching the opportunity to get
in the first lick when ita adversary off ita guard.
At last the hen aaw a favorable opportunity
end went into her opponent like a thouaand of
brick, and dashed her faf! into his right leg, cut
ling the tenions so that it became perfectly pow
erless. She then dealt her blows left and right
nil he fell down exhausted, and springing upon
him, she looked down upon her prostrate foe
for an instant and then gave him a couple of
feelens as Richard alwaya does King Henry sf-
for he has pinned him, with the request that ha
will go to the devil and tell him that he had Ri
hard's pass. The poor rooster evidently thought
tiiat the hen was adding insult to injury, and ut
tered a cry upon receiving the last two digs as
much as to say 'dont hit a fellow when he's
down.' This was a signal to take off the hen
The poor cock was held up lscerated and bleed
ing, but before his owner, whoso face was sadly
elongated, could take of! his gaff, the poor vie
t iiia had 'hopped tho twig.' At this stage of
i lie game I loft, a a it began to rain pretty sharp

DR. LB ROY'S Pills are a new medicine
width bas juat appesred, and is fust taking
the placea of all others of the asme class. Tbeaa
pills are composed of many ingredient, but the
two principal ones are Saraaparilla and Wild Cher
ry, so united that they act together; the one,
tbroush ita edmtsture with other substances, pu
rifying and purging, while lbs other ia atrengthen
ing the syatem. , Thus those pills are at Ibe same
time Ionic and opentni: a desideratum long and
eagerly Sought for by tnsdical men, but never be
fore discovered. In other words ihey do the work
of two medicines, and do it much better than any
two we know of for they remove nothing . from
the system but the impurities eo that while they
purge they strengthen t and hence they cause no
debilitation, and are followed by no re-action. Dr.
Le Roy'a pills have a wonderful influence on the
blood ; they not only purifv without weakening it,
but they remove all ijoxioui particlea from the chyle
befoie it ia converted into fluid, and thus make im
pure blood an otter impossibility. A a there ia no
debilitation, so there ia no nausea or sickness at
tending the operationa of this moat et cellent of me
dicines, which never strains or tortures the diges
tive (unctions, but causes them to work in a per
fectly nstural manner ; and hence peteona taking
them do not become pale and emaciated, but the
rontrarv ; for while it ia the properly of the oaraa
parilla. united as it is with other ingredients, to
remove all that is foreign and impure, it is equally
Ike proiiertv of the Wild Cherry to retain all that
ia natural and sound; and hence a robust state of
health ia the certain result of their united opera
