Fulton's First Voyage
• Borne twenty years since, more or less—
for 1 cannot fix the date with more certainty
1 -1 formed a tratelinii acquaintance, upon a
steamboat on the Hudson river, with a gem
I tlemon who, on that occasion, related to me
some instances of the first voyage of Fulton
to Albany, in hie steamboat, the Clermont,
which 1 have never met with elsewhere.—
The gentleman's name I have ; bUt I
urged him, at the time, to publish what he
bar! related; which, hoWever, ,, so far as .1
know, he - has never done. I have several.
times repeved ladsas they, were told me, ,
and have been often re to secure them
front obliv '
ou, by giving them to the press.
I chanced, said my narratof, to be at Al-.,bany, on hasireTs, when Fulton arrived there ;
,in hiS unheard . of craft, which every body
felt so much interest in seeing. Being ready
to leave, aniniearing that this craft was to
rpm to New York, I repaired on board and
inquired for Mri Fulton. I was referred to
the cabin and I there found a plain gentle
manly man wholly alone, si,ntl engaged in
writing.
• Mr. Fulton. I presume. •
• Yes, sir.
._ - - -- Dcryorr — return to New York with this
boat 1
We shall by to get back, sir.
Can I have a passage down ' .
You can take your chatiCe with us, sir.
Lenquired the amount to be paid,- end aG
ter a moment's hesitation a sum, I think six
- :dollars, was named. The- amoiint, --- in coin,
lard in his open hand, and with his eyb lix
ed upon it he remained so long motionles s
0 that I supposed there might be a miscount,.
and said to him, is that ;right, sir I This
roused him as from a kind of reverie, and as
he looked up at me the big tear was brim•
tiling in his eye, and his voice .. faltered as . he
said, excuse me, sir ; but memory was busy
as . l contemplated this, the first pecuniary
reward I have ever received for all my exer
tions in adapting steam to navigation, I would
gladly commemorate the occasionover a bot
tle of wino with you, but really I am too
poor, even for that, just now ; yet I trust
we may meet again, when this will not be
so.
The voyage to New York was successful,
as all know, and laminated without acci
doni.- •
Some four yenrs,niter this, when the Cler
mono; had been greatly improved, and her
nnme changed to the North River, and when
too other boats, namely, the Car of Neptune
~and-the Parhgon,'bad been built, making Mr-
Fultcm's fleet three boats regularly plying
between New York and Albany, I took pas
sage. upon'o'he ofthese for the-latter- city:—
Tbe cabin, in that day, was below, and as I
'walked its length, to and fro, I 511 W I was
very closely observed by one I supposed e
stronger. Soon, however, I recalled the
features of Mr. Fulton ; but without discle. ,
sing this, I continued my walk and awaited
the result. At length in passing "his seat,
our eyes met, when he sprang to his feet, and
eagerly seizing my_hand, exclaimed, I knew
it must be you, for your features hove never
escaped me; ands although I am still far
from rich yet I may venture that bottle,
now. It• woe ordered; and (hiring its dis 4
cussion, Mr. Fulton ran rapidly and vividly
over his experience of the world's coldness
and sneers, and of the hopes, fears, diaop•
pointments,'und difficulties that were scat.
tered through his whole career of, discovery,
up to the very piiint; of hie final, growing tri.
at :.which he so fully felt he had et los t
arrived. ; And,, in reviewing all these, said
he, I have again and again recalled the Occa.
Simi and the incident of our •fiist; interview,
at Albany, and never' have I done so without
its renewing, in My' mind, the emo
tions it originally caused. That seemed, and
still does seem, to me the turning pofnt. in
my destiriy--the'diviflitig line between, light
'and darkness, in my career upon earth—for it
was the, first actual recagnithin of My 11111fUt•
jrlias horny follow men.'
Such, then,'were the sweats coupled. with

THE voLuNTEEtt COUNSEL.
A TALE - oF JOHN 'TAYLOR
. •
[We copy the following from the Nev York
Sunday Times. The subject of it, John Tay
ler, w on licensed, when a. youth of twenty-one,
to practice at the bar of Philii - delAiu. lie was
poor but well educated; and Possessed extrao r- dioary genius. The graces of his.person,.com

bled him to win the hand of a fashionable beau
ty. Tivelvo months ainirwards the husband
was empleyed by a wealthy:firm of the city to
go on a Mission as lend agent to the west. As
a heavy salary was offered, Taylor bade fare
well to his wife and infant son. Ho wrote back
every week, but received not a line in answer.
Six months elapsed, when tholusband received
a letter from his employers that explained all.
Shortly after hie departure for the west, the
wife and her father removed to Missis?ippi.—
There she immediately . ..obtained, a divorce by
an act of the Lcgisluture„married again forth

wrong, lied the name of.'faylor's son changed

iirthe last degree: sometimes he preached ,
aometithes he plead at the bar; until, at last a
fever curried, him off at a comparatively early
age.]
At an early hour, the 9th of April, r 849, the
court house iii Clarksville, Team., was crowded
to overflowing. Save in the War-times past,
there had never been. vvitnessed.such 'a gather.
ink in, Red River county, chile the strong feel
ing, apparent - on every flushed face throughout
the assembly, betokened some great occasion.
A concise narrative of filets will sufficiently cx
_plain the matter.
About . the close of 1839, George Hopkins.
one of the wealthiest planters and most influen
tial men of Northern Texas, offered•a gross in.
cult to Mary, Elliston, the, young and beautiful
wife of his chief overseer. Tho husband threat
ened to chastise him for the outrage, where
un loaded his gun, went to HiT
upon iff,
ton's house, and shot him in his own door. Tho
murderer was urrested,und bailed to answer
the charge. This occurrence produced intense
excitement; and Hopkins, in order to tutu the
tide of popular opinion, or at least to mitigate
the general wrath, which at first was violent a
gainst him, - circulated reports - info Mously pre
judicial to the character of the woman who had
'already suffered snch cruel wrong at his hands: -
She brought her suit for slander. And thus
tWo causes, one criminal, and the other civil,
and both out of the some tragedy; were pending
iii the April CirchillCourt fur 1810.
'file interest naturally felt , by the community
as to fist isekta.4., became fur.deepor when IL wan'
known that Ashley and Pike of Ar.ltehas, and
the celdnated 3. P•rentisa of New Orleans;
each with enorinons fees, had been rciained hy
Hopkins for his difence..
The trial, on the indictment for murder,
ended on the Bth pr April with the ace,diftal of
Hopkins. Such a result might well have been
furcLecii, by comparing the talents of the coun
sel engaged on either ride. The Texan law
yers were utterly overwhelmed by ,the argu.
meat and etottiience of their opponents. It was
a fri z , ,ltt of dwarts against p.ients.
The slander suit %Vali set fur ttie 9 th, arid the
throng al spectators grew 'in numbers as well
es e.xeitemelit ; and what may seem strange,
the current of public sentiment now ran deci
dedly for Hopkins. His- money had procured
pitited witnesses, who served most efficiently
his powerful advocates. - Indeed, so triumphant
had bean the success of the previous day, that
when the slander case was ended, Nary Ellis
tann was left with Out an attorney—they had all
withdrawn. The pigmy-pettifiggers• dare not
brute Again the sharp wit of Pike, and the
seething thunder of Prentiss.
'have you no counsel 7' inquired Judge
Mills, looking, kindly at the plaintiff:
'No sir; they have all deserted me, and I urn
too poor to employ any inure," replied the beau
tiful Mary, bursting into tears.
"In each a case, will not some chivalrous
Member of the pr"ofession volunteer 7" asked the
judge, glancing around the bar.
The thirty lawyers ivero Silont-as death.
Judge Mille repeaturthequestkir.
"I will, your holier," said a voice from the
thickest part of the crowd ultuated behind the
bar. At the tones of 'that voice Many started
half-way from their seats; not perhaps there
was not u heart iif the immense throng wit ich
did not bout smoothing quickdr—it'wis so un
earthly sweet, clear, ringing, and mournful.
The fire( aeosation, however, was changed
into general laughter, when a tall, gatutt, spec-
Aral fignre, that nobody prolunit remembered to
have seen before, elbowed his way through tho
crowd, and placed himself airhin the bar. Hie
appearance waa'n problem to puzzle tho-ephinx
herself. His high,. p ule brow, and small, ner
vously twitching Juice seemed alive with the
Concentrated essence and cream of genius . ; but
then his info:nine blue oyea,hordly visible be
neath their massive arches, looked dim, dreamy,
ohnost unconscious.; and his Clothing was so
exceedingly shabby, that the court hesitated to

"Has your name. been entered on the rolls of

MARRIAGE IN CALIFORNIA
It is said that Californians are-born on
- horse beiek,.and it may be said they are mar
ried on horse back. The day the marriage
contructis agreed‘on, between the parties,
the bride groom's first care is to buy or to
borrow.the best horse to-be found in his.vi
cinity. At the snore time he has to get, by
one of these means; a silver mpunted bridle,
and oitsaddle with embroidered- housings.--
This saddle must have also, at its stern, a
bridal pillion, with broad aprons flowing
down the flanks of the horse. -These aprons
are also embroidered with silk of different
colors, and wittrgold and silver thread. A•
round the margin runs a string of little steel
plates alternated with slight pendants of th -
same metal., These, es the horse movcsX_
jingles litre-a thousand, mimic bells,
The bride, also, comes in for her share of
these nuptial preparations. The bridegroom
must present her with at least six entire
changes of raiment, nor forget, tht:ough any
sentiment of delicacy, the chemise. Such an
'oversight might frustrate all his hopes, asit
would be construed into a personal indiffer
ence—the last kind of indifference which ,a
-California-ladywill forgjve. - He therefore
hunts this article with as much solicitude as
the_Peri the gift that was to unlock Para
dise. Having found six that are neither too
full nor too slender, he packs them in rose
leaves which seem to flutter 0 ,- 11
heart, and sends them to the lady a, l,i
bridal present. .She might natural iy
him to - come next.
Ire wedding day having i two
line horses, precured for the occarion, are led
to the- door, saddled, bridled and pillions:l:
The bridegroom takes tip before him the god
father of the bride, and then, they gallop
away to the church. The priest in his rich..
est robes, receives them at the altar, where
they kneel, partake of the sacrament, and
are married. This over, they start on their
return—but now the gentlemen changes
partners. The bridegroom, still on .the piles ,
lion, takes mybeforeltim his bride. With'
his right arm he steedies her on the saddle,
and in his left hand holds the' reins. They
return to the house of the parents of the
bride, where they tire generally received with
a discharge of musketry. Two persons, eta
tioned at some convenient place, now rush'
Out and seize him by the legs and before he
has time to (Jismount„ deprive him of his,
spurs, which he is obliged to redeem with a
bottle of brandy. .
The married couple enter the house, wake
the, near reletilies.are all waiting in tears to
receive them. They kneel-down before the
parents•of she lady, and crave a blessing, ,
which is bestowed with_ patriarchal solem
nity. On 'rising, 'the bridegroom_ makes a
signal for theguests to come in, and another
for the guitar end . harp to strike up. - Then

exciting and interesting scene is related by an . •
eye -witness.. " ,
.
A large deer was running at full' speed,
closely Pursued by a panther. The chase had .
already been a long one, for, as they came
nearer; . I could perceive both their: long piirched
tonglies banging out of their Months; and their '
bounding, though powerful, was:no longer 'se ,
eidetic as usual. The &or, having discovered
in the distance a largo black beiti,playing.with
her oubt, stopped a moment to Snuff the air.; '
then coming nearer, hp made a. bound, with
his head extended, to ascottain if bruin kept
his position. As the panther was closing with
deer_w heeled sharp. arodndi.aud-turn-- -
ing back almost upon his own trail, passed
within thirty yards °this pursuer, who, not
being able at once to atop'his career, gave an
angry growl qnd followed the doer again, but
at a distance of some hundred yards ; hearing
the groWl the. bear drew her body hall-ant of -
the bushes, remaining quietly on the lookout.-
Soon the deer again appeared, but his eked .
was much reduced—and as he 'appronehed to-.
wards the spot -where thii bear-lay coneealedr:
it lids evident that the animal was calculating
the distance with 'admirable precision. '
The panther, now expecting easily to seize
his prey, followed about thirty yards behind,-
hie eyes so intently-fixed on the-deer that lie
did not see bruin at a 11... Net BO the boar. She
ivadawaro et the.elose vioinity of her wicked
,enemy, and she pie:trod the briars and squared
herself for action, when the deer with a beauti
ful and powerful spring, passed clean over the
harts head_and disappeared. At 'the moment
he took the leap the panther was close upon
him, and was just balancing himselffor a spring,
when ho perceived, to testonishment, that
now lie was faced by a formidable adversary ;
northe lease disposed to fly, lie crouched, lash
ing his flanks with his lung tail, while the bear -
about-five iords froin him ,remamtng like
etatue, looking at the panther with her fIOYOO .
glaring eyes. t .
A minute they remained thus ; the panther's
sides heaving with exertion, agitated ,and up
parentlyundecided ; the bear perfectly calor
and motionlees.'Graddrillythe panther crawled
backwardstill-ar-a-right-distance-for'a- sprit;
when, throwing alibis welght,upon his hind
parts,te increase his power, he darted upon the
hear litrelightning. and' for4ed his claws into
her hack. The bear, with irresistible force- ,
seized the panther with her two foie paws,
'pressing it with the weight of her body, and
rolling over ft, I hoard a heavy grunt, a plain
tive howl, a crashing of bones, and the pantheq
was dead. The cub of the bear Caine to nem.,
tale what woe going an, arid after a few. mitt
utes' examination -of the victim, it strutted
down the elope of the hill ; followed by its moth,.
er, who was apparently unburt. I did
tempt to prevent their retreat, ler among roe
hunters In the wilds there is 'a' feeling which
restrains . them from attacking an animal which(
has just undergone a deadly strife.
This, is a very common practice of the_ deera
whe'n chased by the panther—that of leadiupi
him to the haunt of a bear ; I have often wits
mend it, although I never knew ,the deer to
return as in this instanee.-,Pidis. Nat. Reform,
