There ia no subject thst I can think ol
which -will be so likely to interest you as
the great astronomical clock, whicn 1 saw
the other dsy in the Cathedral at S-.rasaurg
This Cathedral, by the way, ia one of (he
finest and oldest ia &urope. U rs very
laree and its tower or steeple ia (he hign-
eafin the. world. It is twenty. four feet
higher than the treat yramul in Egypt
one hundred and forty fret higher thsn
St. Paul's in London, snd three or four
times higher than the old 8outh Cborch
in Boston.
The' altrnnomical clock standi in the
inside, in one comer of it, and ia a most
imnosint: and beautiful edifice. Five or
six hundred people visit '.t every day at
12 o'clock, when it perform aomeettra
ordinary feats,' which I shall mention pre
ently, and several millions in the course
of the year. There have been two or thrte
clocks in the same place, uponjhe model
of which -the -presnt ne is tortned but it
is almost a fiew one, and was constructed
by a meclanlc whose name was Sehwil-
gue, in I8i8, to whoma noctnrnal fete or
festival wss giveo by his fct ww citizens
on the eccasian of its completion
To give you some idea of the aize of
this do. k, I will Compare it with, some
other things with which you sre familiar,'
instead of saying itwas so many feet high
and so many feet wide, &c. Well, then,
you remember 'the, aire of th post office
in Wsshingten street. It is Is high a
that, and about a wide, or atleaat nearly.

meeting Iwuse ,Oiv the top of it ia the
figure of theprophet Isaiah, about as large
as lite 1 en its two- sides are couple of
stairs to. eo nolo to it. " 1
' Its front ia beautifulfy pointed, and has
plates upon which th hours of the day,
the days of the week, the revolution of the
Urerihe motion of the sun in' the eclip-1

and a greaf many thlngsj are, indicated

To give yon little farther idea of its

turningsfter an unsuccessrul search, when,
being encamped about four miles east of
the Pint trace, at a point nearly equidis
tant from Bexar, Gonzales and Austin,
the guard stationed in -the rear to watci
out on hi trail, discovered about ten Indi

the fact to Hay. They were seen about
the same time by the Indians, who fell
back iuto some brush with scattering tim

and advanced towards this place of con
cealment, when three or four Indians rriade
their sppearsnce, audi ai.il for therfirl

great precipitation and apparent alarm.'
Hays, however, wss too old an "lodian
fighter" to be caught branch traps, and
made no effort at porsuit. As soon a
th Indians saw that thia stratagem was of
no avail, they came out f the timber, and
displayed their whole force in line, some
79 m-number. Orestly ss per tor at, wss
tbeir force, Hys at once determined to
attack them. JJis men were higly discip
lined, of tried courage, their huises well
broke, and the average number of shots to
rach man about eight. The face of the
country in that section is broken snd rock,

black jaiks, with some uriilergrowth of
brush. A Short distance in the rear or trie
Indians wss a strep hill, from the summit
f which stretched a prairie plane, it sides
rocky and covered with biosh wood, as a

pected to see him. Thev at one leaped
on their horses, and before they wt re well
prepared to receive him he waa in their

the shock of the charge struck it,- but
wheeling them on each flank, they charged
on th Tessas with loud yells secttr f
thair prey, -ainc on horseback they
deem themselves invincible. But never
before had they encountered anything like

back, closely pressed by the whites. A
