In a few moments along catne nnother of the mess, who renorted that he had onlii second calj , and, to wind up the captured game ol the party, three more appeared carrying a quarter of a ' short horned elk.1' which some invious members of other messes declared linked as if it mieht have been the slom det.it ' mammy.

I le observed one of the men carry niir two muskets, and thought it queer, but a glance at the centre of the squad cxpljmed the secret.

Now commenced some brilliant ' slow movements, all in one spot, which were ! lollowcd by the squad forming line again and moving into camp At the spot where tho square broke, a fresh hillock of sand might have been discovered, by those only, howev er, who knew the former loveliness of the spot.

" The thing didn't lake even with the Democrats of Ware some of whom declared that if those were Mr. Cohen's views, they would go lor King, because they knew he would not sustain any such dextrine, Savannah Republican.
