Wc need not visit other, countries than our own for talcs of romance.,, Neither need we go into the regions of fiction, when tho common incidents of backwoods' are re plete with tho most starling , romance. I will venture to say that there is not ar. old 'U't H settler of the Chickasaw purchase, who can not tell a real personal adventure of as live ly interest, and as much dashed with ro roance ns any ideal one. Our misfortune is, that we either want the gift of telling such ad ventures, or they become such com mon occurrences with us, that we do not deem tbcra worthy of tho telling. Even my backwoods' life, brief as it hnr been, is not entirely barren of incident; ftnd to show it, I sit down for the purpose of giv ing you nu acoount of a bear hunt. ' I crime to this cduntrv h a preen ' un ." Tcnowinrr a little more about books than woods, unversed in backwoods' wisdom and thinking, vainly thinking-, little wis dom necessary to a backwoods' life! 1 had never sot my foot in an untrodden wilder ness. hail never seen cane in any otlrr shape than a fisherman's rod. Hruin had never peered at me his sombro face save through tho bars of a menagerie cage. I had never beheld the wisdom and gravi y seated on the visage of the long cared pwl. Ami all 1 knew of' the panther's soul startling scream, was what I learned from boyish tradition. r An unlickcd cub as I was, a bear hunt I determined on ns soon as I know there were bears to hunt. I soon found achance to resolve my determination into experience. A company was made up, and I, of course, one of them. After traversing eight or ten miles of woodland, we came to the great cold water and Tullahatchie cane brake. There sat its lonely bottoms in all their vastness, drear inessaml gloom. There is, perhaps, no creature of nature that impresses us with such a sense of sol itude, grrtndetir and majesty, as the cane brake of the South. Its almost illimitable expanse of uninterrupted cane its tall, bare Cypress trees, tossing their lofty heads gently and mournfully to ihe winds its numerous sloughs and lakes, enclosed by the thickly interwoven cane and vine of their borders ; sluggish nnd silent are their water?, never inspired into life by breeze or storm I We plunged at once, with our horses and dogs, into the dense cane-br.ikc : nnd it wits not long before Hector, that prince of bear-flogs, snullctJ up a fresh trail. Utter tering a howl of recognition andioy, he started off in pursuit with the whole pack of hounds, curs and bull-dogs y elping at SI OalO ms necis. "That dog nevcrfails I" shouted old Rives. -"My head for a bear!" "A bear ! a bear! Hurrah I Hurrah !" was the joyful scream that came from every heatt - On I on ! Every man for himself! And the cane cracked before the impel nous rush of our horses. Unwillinrr to be-left alone in such a forbidding looking wilderness, my big horse and myself went through like a wniriwind.' 'Halt! halt!" cries our leader. The yelpings of the dogs come faintly to our ears Irorn the far distance. Bull in pursuit! ()n ! on ! crash ! crash ! goes the cane. Curses on briars, mnsqnetofs, and sloughs burdened the very air. Perched on a moun tain of flesh, (for rny horse was none of the smallest,) with my head stooped, my hut held firmly ' on with both hands, and rny brief legs crouched closely to the sides of my steed. 1 made glorious havoc among the cane and greenbriars. In the midst of our wild career, 1 saw my friend Price's horse sprawling through a slough, but I saw no Trice. "Help ! help ! For Uod'3 sake don't leave me I" came a voice from mid air. I looked up, and sure enough there was poor Price, with u death-grip, holding onto a muscadine vine, with hid long legs dang ling in woeful circles over the sullen wa ters of the slough. With some effort I caught bis horse, and relieved him from his sublime situation. HJursea on all bear hunting," screamed out my poor tnend. in Ihe bitterness or rns heart "This is the first time I have tried it. and. by Jove, it shall be the last ! Here I am, like a confounded tool, breaking m heck in this rascally fane-brake, and a for the remote chance of a few pounds of bear meat that 1 rni-'ht buy with h dollar ! "Why, just look at mo ! My clothes are 8hrcdH, and my face not much better. Every greenbriar in the forest has tried its temper on me! It seems as if every thing has a particular spite at me ! Every gen tleman greenor;er and holly-bush must lenvo its mark on ray body every cane roust slash in my face evtry treo inust have a rnke at my legs every musnuelq or gallinippcr must have a taste of fny blood . ' .. .. - sr.. t hfrc I was irt an ace or being nurfg by rned like a sue kin muscadine vine-drowned ami, to cap tne climax oi my jciiciiieSjljajo. ue resu pig in a slough, crlrft in this dark,, d r,!; woods with a gauU . " :iach, and no cur.! ly prospect of repIeni.Li it !" 'Shut up, Price, and I t' go on, or we will be lost for certain. TLa company are . already out of hearing? v , blast othd hunting horn soon reveal ed where they were ; and it was not Ion j,br fore we were with them.,. After . enjoyinj a hearty laugh at Price's expence, wo , started .itgain, atij did not halt until wc , came in full hearing of the dog. . The bear is treed," exclaimed oM Rivca, as soon as ha heard tneir yelping.' Not knowing, I took it for granted, and rushed on with, the foremost . . . , -7-rt,i;' Sure enougb, there at old Hrtiin in the -topmost crotch of a tall poplav bobbing: , hie bead alternately from one side of the projecting bough to the other, levelling his fierce glance at the anxious dogs be-' low. h was corious to see the eager emo tions depicted in the looks of the varioue dogs that surrounded the tree. " There irae the grey hound, the blood houd, tbe tut, . the bulldogs, and rnongre!j,of every specie. -The sage, experienced old bounds, sitting on '.heir haunches at a sfJe distance from the Wee, quietly looked on. reslinjr theirs . selves for future struggle. The fierce bull- . aog, close to the root of the tree,: flashing as burning glance at the bear at any that came from him. The cur, inspired with the furious spirit of battle, showed a Ware , and gallant crest, wavinar hi tail to and fro in the ccstacy of his excitement We all hitched our horses, and came ui to the tree. It was concluded -that the death-shot should not be flriven." a it would maf the best part of the port "A rifle shot from Hives soon taught the bear that there were more comfortable quarters than he was in, and down he came back foremost, and grumbling furiously all the way. Now was the. thnlliug time of er- - citement. Lvcry hunter stood with hi gun cocked, readr for the onslaught Every dog shook himself tot battle. The welkin rung with the shouts of man ' and the howl of dogs. Bruin, by -on, mean appalled, came on slowly and unwavering iy uown i no ueq, wis snaggy uiue uunea ; with, tho life's bipod that streamed from hi, ; f "At him, Hectorl Seize hint, Pintol"' Now comes the tug and grip of death. A swarm of dog hung on poor Bruin a soon as he reached the ground Neither did he show the while feather. He slashed about him manfully, laying some of the less experienced dogs cold in death; and sending others yelping in agony and limp ing away. A stroke of his paw would often send tho largest curs whirling" six feet in the air. No sooner did he disengage himself from his foes than he was surrounded again. Tortured with pain and. frantic with passion, he tore up cane, ' sapplince, and all things that came in his way. ' Hi eyes, like living coals, burned with tho intensity of his anger. At last he seemed exhausted with his struggles and loss of blood Price thinking this a glorious chance to encirclo his brow with hunting hon ors, made an to the bear, resolved to shoot him. lie did fire, but the dense cane that intervened betwen him and the bear, turned aside his bullet; and the first thing he knew was a rush though the cane, and ' Bruin stood with glaring eyes within six feet of hire reared on his hind legs, ready for the hug of death. u ( ; AghaBt and ' terror-stricken, poor' Price screamed for help; ' i ;-,F ! .M?'" : "Climb! cliaibP were the vociferation of bis companions. Short would have been his earthly exi- tence had it not been for the friendly inter position of the noble dogs. They a if conscious of the danger of their , master attacked the bear with accumulated fury. 'rice earned a small sappling near ,him, ami in ttie excitement o: ni terror roi so hirrh that his foothold was rone and the sapling bent down with his weight, the top tigtitiy graspeu in ni nana, mere the poor fellow hung directly over. the bear and dogs. If the sapling ..hod broke. or bent further with his weight, down ho would have come m the midst of the melee 1 he poor . fellow was so lemiiea that be could not utter even a cry.' , , Rives seeing his danger, rushed up close to the fight, and placing the muzzle of his gun nearly against the bear, fired. It was a death shot; the bear gave up theghoct ' gloriously, though with the shouts of tri umph ringing in ni ears. "' f '"' rr":: Poor Price let himself down from hi sapling, pale as death, and trembling as if with an ague fit Amidst the jokes ana gibes of his fellows, he foreswore all hears and all Dear Hunting. .,,, - DARING OUTRAtSE.
