After delay OF some days. the Washington Union pub.

ABD-EL.KADER.

The Arab Chieft2n is thus spoken Of by
an English writer:
"Many who read romances about the days
of the Crusades, and whose hearts beat over
the romance of history-the narrative of he
roes like William Tell, who waged holy
war against the invaders Of their country
are unaware that as great hero lives in our
day, and is conducting as holy and undying
struggle. How few care to read of Abd-el-
Kadcr; yet you will venture TO say that Will
liam Tell was nobler. The Emir Abd-elKa-
der is the indomi,ablc foe Of the French, who
have conquered Algeirs. and colonized, Or
attempted to colonize the neighbsrheod.--
He is Mabomedan, and hates the Chris.
tians. He is a native, and hates the intru-
dsrs. He is a prince, and hates the con-
querors of his country. He cannot drive
them out, bat he has done everything short
fit. He leaves them no peace or rest
They in fact own NO land but what they
stand on. Every head that is put cut be-
youd the Gordon is Cut off. Every stragger
from the camp disappears. The settlers
cannot till the fields, nor 60 on commercial
errands; for Abd-el-Kader comes down upon
them whichever way they go.-A company
cannot pass ftsm camp to camp without its
numbers being thinned. ifthsre is burn
ing sun. Add -el-Kader pounces upon the
teeps in their hour of lassitude. If wintry
weather comes up from the mountains, Add
el.Kader comes up with it as if he rode upon
The blast. If snow blocks up the way, ADD
el-Kadsr issues from the thickest drift. II
there is drought, he drives the foe far from
the water brooks by harrassing them, flank
and rear. He is always on the eve Of being
caught, but no man has ever caught him yet,
nor any Christian touched his white banner
His tribes are dispersed, his stores taken, his
allies bound over to deliver him up; but he
has always yet escaped. He isreported dead
but is presently seen and fsl.again. He has
worn cut and brought te disgrace French

feld-marshalls; and caused, destitute as he
himself is. an expenditure of men and mon
sy such as ne nation, can long endure for
the sake of SO wretched colony. lie has
now sent summons TO the tribes Of the
south to be ready to renew the war against
the invaders; and all but those who are with
in immediate reach Of the French answer
with fervour 10 the call. One cannot but look
forward wstfully to see the issue--to divine
the lot and death Of such man---to watch
whether his power of hope eau sustain itself
against such odds---whether he dies on the
Geld or in cave OF the recks--as warrior
or prisoner, or as one Of Natures princes
in one Of Natures palaces. The only thing
we know is that the man himself his soul,
will never ba conquered t,.
