CAPTURE OF A VULTURE. - ' j A letter from Get, a little village on he re borders of the valley d' Auto (Upper PJ lieeV) contains the following inrerestitig de tails : iwo mountaineers, while out sport ing at tli e back ofthe Pak of Tremassaiig nes, perceived flying over their heads a vulture of enormous size ; taking advan tage of he moment when this Ieviiithan of the air was within shot. One ipf jhe sportsmen discharged his gun, loaded) with five small bullets: Tbe vulture, wounded in the Wing.1 fell with considerable j force lo the bottom of a ravine. Thither jibe two men hastened to secure their captive. The ou who had fired, pioud of his 'ex ploit,(seeing the monsler of a bird extend ed on arock, had the imprudence tplat tempt to secure it whilst living, bqt the bird furiously attacked him with hjs im mense claws, and severely wounded the man in his neck with his beak, and tt is-; supposed ne must nave neen Kiueu nau u not beep for the presence of mind and cool intrepidity of his companion,! whoj with the muzzle of his gun almost touching ihe Vulture, discharged its contents in the head of this terrible bird. The creature was subsequently measured, and found to' be live feet in iength, upwards Pf Vwy feet English measure, from the beak to the eud of his tail ; his feathers hahdsorr e and strong ; his legs stout and as hkrd assteeb There ivas a remarkable, circumstance at- tending the capture of this bird whi ...;.. .

But when nature is vanquished. by su!fering when priva tions havo exhausted its strength when life is ebbing, the dromedary kneels down, stretches out its neck, and closes its eyes. Its master then knows all is over, "lie dismounts, and without any attempt to make it rise, for he knows the honesty of jits nature,; and never suspects it ofclecep tjon or laziness, he removes the saddle, and places it on the back of another dro medary, arid departs, abandoning the one that is no longer able" to accompany him. When night approaches, the. jackais and I hyenas attracted by thescent, come up and attack the animal till nothing is left but the skeleton." - ! We are now on the highwav from Cairo and iMecci. ; twice a year the caravans go and return by this route; and these bones are' so numerous and so constantly replenished, that the temiiests of the de sert can never entirely disperse them ; ttjiese pones, which, without a guide, would lead you to tbe oasis, the wells a ud foun tains, where the Arab finds shade and wa ter, and would end bv conducting you to the tomb of the prophet: these bones are those of dromedaries which perish in the desert. If you look attentively you will see some j bones smaller in size, and of a different conformation. These, too, are the wrecks of wearied bodies that have found repose before they reached the goal. 1 bey are I the bones of believers who de si red to obey the prophet's command, 1 hat all the, faithful shall, once in their lives. perform the hoi v journey ; and who, hav ing been fooJong deterred from underta king it by cares or pleasures, commence their pilgrimage so late on earth, that they are obliged to finish it in Heaven.' Add to! these some stupid Turk or bloated eu nuch, who, sleeping when he ought to have his eye open, has fallen and broken hisneck ;! give the plague its share, which ofien decimates a caravan, and the si moon, which often destroys one, and you will readily see 'that these funeral guide posts arqiplanted with sufficient frequency to j preserve the road in good order, and lo point out to the children the route pursu ed by their fathers. Quinze Jours on Si- ndl, by A Dumas. j TEIlRiTOjRY OF NEBRASKA. The Secretary of War proposes to estab lish a nev Territory, at the Eastern slope of it he Rocky lilxuniairis, on the head wa ters of the Matte and the Arkansas, to be called the. territory of the Nebraska. We believe this isthe Indian name of tbe Platte river. This Territory would be 0:1 our own ackbowledged soil, and would com mand the grand pass between the Atlan-; tic and Pacific Oceans. Near this spot rise the lofty Peaks of the Northern Andes around whose brows circle perpetual snows. O.i either side roll down the wa ters which mingle wilh Ihe Gulf of Mexi co on this side with the Gulfof California on the isouih-west. and with the broad Pacific,-as it washes the Western coast cf America. iThe advantages of this position, in a military or colonial point of view are im mense. : It would make the journey of the emigrants West, comparitively easy. They would have both defence and rest. Iii case of interfence from foreign powers, the troops of the nation would be ready to descend either on the South, or on the Pa cific outlets of Oregon, or move on the Bri tish territories of the North. It is the great central position of the North American Continent, marked out by the God of na ture as remarkable, by the magnificence of its mountains, itsstreams,' and its x tept ! Whoever possesses and brings up fuure generations on this high, centra! plat eau, j will be unconquerable in position and energy. ; 'v: y'- jThe Secretary also recommends a chain ofl military posts on bur own Territory, ex tending from Missouri to the Rocky moun tains, f Against this no nation can say a word.
