A very handsome friend of ours, who
u few weeks ago was poked out of a com.
Ihrtablo office up the rivor, has betaken him
.self to Bangor, lor a time, to recover from tho
wound inflicted upon his feelings by our"un
principled and immolating administration."
Chanco of air must have had an instant
effect upon his spirits, for, from Galena, he
writes us an amusing letter, which, among
other things, tolls of a desperate quarrel that
took placoon board of the boat between a real
live dandy tourist, and a real live yankec
settler. Tho latter trod on the toes of the
former; whereupon the former, threatened
to "kick out of tho cabin" tholattcr ;
"You'll kick tnc out of this cubing ?"
"Yes. sir. I'll kick you out of this cabin !"
"You'll kick me Mr. Hitchcock out of this
cabing?"
"Yes, sir, I'll kick you, Mr. Hitchcock!"
"Well, I guess," said tho yankce, very
coolly, after being perfectly satisfied that it
was himself who stood in such imminent per.
il of assault "I guess, since you talk of
'kicking, you've never Heard mo ten nuout
old Bradley and my marc, there, to hum ?"
"No, sir, nor do I wjsh "
"Wal, guess it won't sot you back much,

ho alters picked mo out as a subject for rcli

.rite would talk about heaven, hell and the
devil tho crucifixion and prayer, without

mare that would jump over any fourteen rail
fence in Illinois, and open any door in my
barn that hadn't a padlock on 1(7 Tu or
three times 1 found her in my stable, and told
Bradley about it, and ho was 'very sorry'
'an unruly animal' 'would watch her,' and
a hull lot of suoh things, all said in a very

as old Deacon Farrar's, on Sacrament day.
I know all the timo ho was lying, and so 1
watched liim and his old roan tu ; and for

A Bloody Business : Glohy. Thick as
standing corn and gorgeous us a field of
flowers, stood the Beloochcs in .their many
colored garments and turbans. They filled
the broad deep bed of tho Fullaillce, they
clustered on both banks, and .oovcied the
plain beyond. Guarding their heads with
their dark shields, tney shook their sharp
swords, 'beaming in the sun ; their shouts
rolled likcapcnlof thunder, as, with frantic
gestures, they rushed forwards, and, full
ugainst thefront of tho Twenty-second, dash
ed with demoniac strength and ferocity.
But with shouts as loud und shrieks as wild
and fierce as theirs, mid hearts as big und
arms as strong, the Irish soldiers met them
with that queen of weapons, the musket, and
sent their formost masses rolling back in
blood.
Now the Beloochcs closed their dense
masses, and again tho shouts and the rolling
fire, of musketry and tho dreadful rush of the
swordsmen were heard and seen along the
whole line; and such a fight ensued us lias
seldom been known or told of in tho records
of war. For oventhoso wild warriors came
close up, sword nnd shield in advance, striv.
ing in ull the fierceness of their volor to
break into tho opposing ranks; no liro of
small arms, no push of bayonets, no sweep
ing discharges of grape from tho guns, which
were planted in ono mass on tho right, could
drive tho gallunt follows back. They guve
their breasts to tho shot ; they leaped upon
tho guns, und wcro blown away by twenties
at a time; their dead went down tho steep
slopo by hundreds, but tho gaps in their
ma-tscs wcro continually filled up from the
rear : tho survivors of tho front rank still
pressed forwards with unabated fury, and tho
buvonets und tho sword clashed in full and
frequent conflict. Napier! Conquest of
