The history of the hero ofthe foregoing incident
was one of the strangest and most extraordinary
ever known in the West. He made his advent
into Texas at very early period, and continued
to reside there until his death, which happened
some two years ago; but although ne had many
warm and personal friends, one could ever learn
either the land of his birth or single CLEAN of
his previous biography. When questioned on the
subject he laid his finger on his lips, and if press
ed more closely his brow writhed, and his dark
eye seemed to shoot sparks of livid fire! He cod
write with astonishing correctness and facility,
considering his situation, and although denied the
exquisite pleasure and priceless advantage of the
sense of hearing, nature had given him ample COM
pensation by an eye quick and far seeing an
eagles, and smell keen aud Incredible as that of
a raven. He could discover an object moving
miles away in the far off prarie, when others cod
perceive nothing but earth and sky; and the ran
gers used to de clare that he could catch the scent
of Mexican or Indian at as great distance as a
buzzard could distinguish the odor of dead car
cass. ~ -ass -i @55..' - *a .s
It was these qualities which fitted him so well
for spy in which capacity he rendered invalua-
independence. He always went alone and gene
rally obtained the information desired. His habits
in private life were equally singular. He never
could be persuaded to sleep under the roof of a
house, or even to use tent cloth. Wrapped in
his blanket he loved to lie out in the open air,
under the blue canopy of pure ether, and count
the stars or gaze with yearning look at the mel
ancholy moon When not employed as spy or
guide, he subssted by hunting, being often absent
on solitary excursions for weeks in the wilder
ness. He genuine son of nature, grown
up child of the woods and prarie, which he wor-
shipped with sort of pagan alteration. Exclud-
ed by his inirmites from cordial fellowship with
his kind he made the inanimate things of earth his
friends, and entered by the hearts own adoption
into brotherhood with the lumnaries of heaven.
Wherever there was land or water, barren
mountains or tangled brakes of wild waving cane,
there was Deaf Smiths home, and there he was
happy; but in the streets of the great Cities in all
the great thoroughfares of men, wherever there
was fattery or fawning, base cunning or craven
fear, there was Deaf Smith an alien and an exile
Strange soul !-he hath departed on the long
Journey, away, among those high, bright stars,
which were his night lamps; and he hath either
solved or ceased to ponder the deep mystery of
that magic word sslife.'' He is dead-therefore
let his errors rest in oblivion, and his virtues re-
membered with hope, .. r 3.

WASHINGTON, Saturday, March 10, 1853.
The advent of EDMUND BURKE, Esq. of n.
H. has given rise to the idea that he lie an applicant
for reappointment TO be Commissioner of Patents
inwhich there is no truth He asks the President for
nothing, probably owing to something Of a personal
GOODNESS supposed to exist between them, growing
cut of the decided stand taken by Pierce in ia
vor OF the recent election of Atherton Burke being
8 prominent competitor for the Senate nomination
Nevertheless, | am inclined 10 believe that the
position will be rendered TO hun, because Of
the difficulty which Is 10 be encountered
in finding gentleman willing to ill the place who
may be entirely qualified and unobjectionsble. wrote
you not long since that there was possibility OF the
retention Of Mr.. Commissioner Hedges. ] came to
that conclusion only because know that the Cabinet,
so far, not aware of any applications for the ofce
10 which they willing 10 respond favorably.
One great danger in filing the place Is the risk
of picking up some one who may be either himself d.
rec,y OF indirectly interested in patent rights who
may be approschsble in al improper manner In these
dsys il is very hard to tell who is rather who is not
interested in patent rights some of which worth
100000 or more Nor Is il possible TO tell how much
the community are taxed In the aggregate, for their
use-certsinly millions millions OF dollars annually
There Is no other department OF the Government IN
which an incompetent syy dishonest head can do 80
much mischief to individuals and the public ss in tse
Patent bureau. So Mr. Burke, having heretofore DIS
CHARGED it. duties to satisfy at least all the poll
tieans of the party 1t is by means wonderful that
whether be will or not those Of them who are anxious
TO have the President avoid laying the foundation tor
Gslphnisns under bis administration in any breach OF
the public service expressing great anxiety Tor rs

son. there can be no danger Of improper practices
In the Bureau for four years least The manner tn
which the administration have delayed the acceptance
of the virtual resignation Of Mr. Commissioner Hodges
though there are dozen prominent men after the
Office moves that they fsly appreciate the difficulty o.
fllipg i, properly.
Mr. De Bow, Of Newt Orleans, who applied Tor II has
been eenplinrrsd with the place Of Kennedy, IN the

the temporary Census Bureau VIII be closed pre-
sumo that his dismissal has been very thankfully re-
ceived BY X nasmuch as under the evident dcferni-
