A STRIKING SKETCH, Mr. Crwent: I liave often dwelt with pleasure on the character of the hardy pio neers of the far West Among them none were more Iruly noble, brave or generous, than the Bargemen. The following tale will faintly describe some of the scenes F uT rur.o.r, v , Ih the fall of 1840 my business requrml m to trarel through a part of the Wabash valley. As darkness was clos.ng ft,ound one evemng m theater part of October, I found myself in powessto,, of all those ex- quiaite ploasures or enjoyments to which denined. I had the atisfactionof knowine that I was the only human being within five miles The road I was trnvellinp; was one that led throtiffh a dismal swamp. It had bem but lately'oponed and was of the i order of ancient railroaris, but being new and running through a forest, ihisone boast ed of huge logs instead of fence rails as a cr'wsway. The considrritln beings who had opr-iu'd it in order u ;u!d to the com fort of the LcliitM aitl wearied traveller had generously thrown on it about eigh teen inches of dirt, which, having the bene fit" of plenty nf rain, had bfen workod by other travellers into a delightful mire which made a horse's foot pop ns he drew it out, to the crcnt delight of industrious horde shoers, aud the dreud and disgust of all li-. verv stable men To add to ihcxe eniov- . ments was the satisfaction nf having jour- 1 inc aW m 13 n'B- : neyed a long distance that day : weary and lzack1 T'-yrelsome but wur rpnek, pa tired, a cold sleeting rain beating i'n my j "unlc an'1 lat (,ea,h whf 0 he face the night dark os Egypt, ? had on moro'nS 'J " appetite savage as a cannibal.

I snatched the horn from the , inVn n. u-iiioh'it iinnif n ml hie w w it h a irood a will as ever horn was blown before In a short time the answering signal of the ferrymnn on tho opposite bank was giren, and in the coursn of half an hour I was safely landed on the Illinois side. At about a quarter of a mile distant from the bank of 1 0f the boat like a half starved catumount, the river I rcaclipd the high bluffs on which a8hing himself into a monstrous fury. is situated the beautiful and flourishing lit- j By-and by, when the boys had nearly fia tle village of Ml. Carmil. There was at j mhed their breakfast, he had got worked that date but one tavern in the place, but . up to such heat he began to scorch. Ho it was such in every sense of the word. A couid n't gtand it any Ion jer, he walked) prince conblTrot have avoided being stitisfi-1 out to whear the boys wur eating on tbe ed with its accommodation.

An excellent fire ! blazed in the fire place, around which sat j some six or eight persons who aeemed all l attentively listening to an Old gentleman of, sixty w sutyfive years of age. The alien-1 tion and respect shown him bespoke him to be a person ol more than ordinary charac-1 ter. He was about six feet one or two inches in height, broad ci.estinrl shouldera, straight as an arrow, and taking him alto-! gether, wae one with whom but lew even at his advanced oge would care to measure I strength. Cotno uncle Joe. give us a talc of barge j life ; you know we never let you off when j you come here wiihoutgiviug ua a tale of I some part of your former hie,' said one of the gentlemen addressing him. ( This brought all the talkers lo si ence. and every one prepared himself to listen. 'Well, boys,' said the old gentleman, ' 'I'll tell you of n ficrht that took place not t far from here on the Wabash.
