POLISH CHIEFS.

The following, il an extract from the
new historical romance, which we men !.
toned last week. 1t is from the pen of
Samuel l.. Knapp, ESQ. Of New York,
formerly distinguished member Of our
bar "a gentleman well known among the
literary portion of our country, from his
previous writing.
1t is taken from a scene in tho Carpa-
THAN Mountains, where Pulawsk aud
his servant were in search of some jewels
hidden by the former, when he and other
Polish patriots had fed there for safety
"One evening as Carlos was kindling
20 fire to dress some of the scaniy food
wrought with them, they heard a confus-
ION Of sounds---tlto cry of a man and
tho howl Of n wof--they came from the
crag of the mountain just beneath them.
Carlos sprang up and ran to the place
from whence it issued. A great wolf in
the agonies of his ravenous hunger, had
seized half-naked man to devour him
they were then in the struggle for life.
They had but few moments for conten-
tion before the master and servant arriv-
ed to tho assistance oftlleir fellow-man
but before they could reach the scene of
combat, tho wolf lay quivering in the
agonies Of death--the knife from the
girdle Of the ragged man had been plung-
ed in the entrails of the monster, and
had reached his heart. The man was
covered with blood, bur not much Of it
had flown from his own veins, but from
the vitals Of the wolf. His matted hair,
wild lookr and tastcrod garments bespoke
tho maniac. Die! tyrant, die!' he ex'
claimed; There, there is P0ninsEi.
dead. Base traitor thou hast deserved
thy fate; 60 howl with the damned, thou
base destroyer Of thy country! Go, and
let the curse of patriots ring in thy ears
forever Did not keep thee from tho
halls Of legislation while could stand !;
and when the tripplo cord that strangled
my country was twisted and used, what
Internal peals of laughter rang through
all thy miscreant hosts land now thou
hast como here to hunt me among the
rocks The maniac turned his face to
see who came near him, and Pulawski
beheId the countenaDce ofthe great pat
riot, REyTEN, who had lost his mind at
the fall of his country. The maniac
continued, 'and who are you that como
to assist the assassins Of Poland I am
seeking Pulawski's bones TO make of
