bravely charged them from it, and pursued them for about a mile and half, fording difficult stream, passing over very broken country, and keeping up runningf Allthe lodges and camp equipages, large quantity of provi- slons, and many of the horses of the enemy fell into the hands of the troops; and they also lett behind number or the arms and equip ments lately captured at Cieneguilla, which were recovered by Col. Cooke. Six dead Indians were found on the field. Of the troops one man was killed, and one man of the 2d Artillery severely wounded. The day of the fight the troops marched through snow two feet deep, and it was also showing some of the time.
 Major Carleton, with reinforcement, joined Col. Cook, about an hour after the battle, and will unite with him in the further pursuit of the enemy.
 Since the action on the 9th inst., Col. Cooke and his command have been in active pursuit of the enemy, whom they pressed so hard they were obliged to separate into small parties to save themselves. They led the troops overt the most inaccessible country in New Mexico, with snow in some places three feet deep; and Kit karson, who is their guide, saysit is the rough est country he has ever seen. The Indians have suffered very much, and their bare foot prints were seen in the snow.
 When the Indians separated they took di- rection southwest and it is supposed they will attempt to make their way to the southern part of the territory. From indications, it is supposed the Moscalero Apiches have joined the Jicar- illas and have been present with them during the campaig gn.

The Privateering Story.

The report brought by the Europa, that the barque Grapeshot, awhile ago freighted at New York with muskets by Mir. George Law, had turned privateer under Russian letters of mar que, and had captured French vessel off the English coast, has naturally excited considera- ble interest; but the particulars which have now come to hand incline us to the belief that the whole story, from beginning to end, is fa- brcation-or at least, they show satisfactorily that it was not the American barque Grapeshot which had captured French vessel in the chan nel. By accounts in the English papers it ap- pears that the barque has turned out to be a [" Russian frigate"-and that, too mere phan- tom ship probably
 As this terrible Grapeshot was lying at the mouth of the Mississippi river at the time she was said to have been seen in the English chan nel, of course no stronger azab5 could be desired The New York Courier says:
 But, for those who may think that nothing is impossible for the 'muskets' we will further say that the Grapeshot is small Eastern built bark of about $50 tons burthen, not constructed with any special regard to strength, so that the discharge of twelve pounder on her deck would not be unattended with danger to those on board Her fitness to cruise on the icy coast of Finland may be judged when we recall the fact that she was cut through by the ice in our rivers last winter, and sank with a cargo of breadstutfs on board. That voyage was aban- doned, and she has been purchased by Mr. Law, and loaded with unloaded muskets, which were boug ht, through the agency of Frenchman, for the Mexican government. That govern ment has not been flush lately, nor does its credit stand high in any money market in the world, and for that reason the cargo of the Grapeshot has not been delivered, but remains in the gulph 'on call waiting for action in Washington on the Gadsden treaty. as its rati- tcation would have raised the credit of Mexico to point which would make it safe to trust her with the muskets, without danger of their going off unpaid for. The New York agent for the purchase of these arms has been so en- couraged by the recent action of the Senate on the treaty, as to commence negotiations for the shipment of another cargo'

The Bible.

Go, fling the gaudy robe aside,
 Unbind the jewels from thy hair, And casting thoughts of earth away,
 Oh! maiden, bend thy heart in prayer; And turn thee to the page of truth,
 Then seek the guiding love of heaven, Counsels that we'll may guard thy youth,
 And teach the love to mortals given. Let men with impious spirits dare
 The sacred word of God to scorn. And scofing hopes and comforts there,
 From all it's blessed percepts turn. But ne'er should woman, week and frail Dare cast her guiding chart aside; When earthly hopes so often fail,
 Where shall she turn on earth beside. Oh! when the heart is sad and lone,
 And wearily the spirit droops, And blessings perish one by one,
 And pass away our youthful hopes; Where should the dropping spirit turn,
 But to that page of sacred truth, Where wisdom may true knowledge learn, And age know brighter hopes than yout]

Fanny Fern.

A New York correspondent of one of our CO., temporaries, says:-
 Woman literature is all the rage now. Our authoresses certainly have the public by the ear yes and by the heart and pocket too. There IS Fanny Fern fo' instance. What a cuccess hers has been! Not two years since, she was ilvlng ln poverty herself and children subsist- Ing on bread and milk, with no one to aid or sympathlze with her; nursing her little sick one day and night, and warmly writing at intervals while 1t slept; and now she is wealthy; her name has become household word in thou sands of families in both hemspheres were she Is known by her works and admired and loved for her brilliant genius, her womanly tenderness and her unmistakable goodness and purity of heart. l sometimes meet this lady in Broad way, and 1t may please you to know what man. her of woman she is like. Well, then, she is little above medium height: her figure is perfectly symmetrical, and her bust and shoul- ders, and the setting and lift of her head would excite the envy of Venus herself. She has a delicate, beautiful, forid complexion; glossy golden hair, an honest, handsome face, daunt- less, loving blue eye, and hand and foot of most juvenile dimensions Her carriage is graceful, her step firm and elastic her mien commanding and indomitable, yet winning; in short, she looks like Fanny Fern
 She dresses in perfect taste, generally wearing black, and sweeps along Broadway with grace, abandon and self-forgetful characteristic of the accomplished lady of society and natures gen. tlewoman-two characters which are seldom united in the same person. Her name, by the way, is not Harrington, Ferrington or Farming ton as 1t has been variously reported, nor any thing that resembles either of these names in sound, appearance or outhography. Of this fact l have been assured, both by her publishers and her lawyer. She limits her acquaintance to small and select circle; and to gain an in- troduction to her, or obtain her autograph, is one of the things that may be classed among the serious difficulties of life-as I know by a most ostunsatisfactory experience. This, however, will not prevent me from buying an early copy of her Second Series cf Fern Leaues, which is advertised as an entirely new work, and which will probably outsel the First Series as two houses in this city have already ordered eight thousand copies!

Served Him Right.

Many years ago, (says a writer in the De- trolt Free Press) Racer the Wyandotte, of Brownstown, at the seat of the council fire of branch of the tribe,) entered my office and, with a sorrowfu down cast look handed me a letter from the territory, requesting me to at tend to the Wyandotte's complaint
 On inquiry, l ascertained that few days be- tore m drunken carouse at the Wyandotte village, the Racer, an old warrior, had fought his battles over again"-had boasted of the nu merous pale faces who had felt the weight of hls war club-of the wasting desolation he had carried through our frontiers during the late war -of the numerous scalps he had borne away from his bleeding victms-of the numerous sons of Kentucky that had fallen before his deadly rifle. The eyes of the old sachem kin died with fierce delight as he recounted his glo- rous deeds on the war path
 ltso happened that John Atkins one of Ken tuckys tall volunteers, was there John stood about six foot and a half in his boots All si- new and bone was John, gaunt as greyhound, and brave as lion. He listened awhile to the boastlngs of the chief; his muscles twtched his eyes gistened, and when the savage spoke of his bloody deeds on the borders of Ken lucky, Johns wrath exploded like volcano
 "You internal tiger" cried John, "was you the crtter that done that thar? Are you one of the cantankerous varnints that pe,used about and burnt our shanties, murdering and scalping our woming and children down thar on the bor. ders of Kentucky? I'll show you how good it feels to be scalped;" and so saying he seized the Wyandotte by the scalp-lock, dashed him to the ground, and with flourish of his knife he took the Racers scalp clean off
 The crest fallen boaster arose to his feet as- founded. A Wyandotte warrior had lost his scalp in time of peace. His credit and stand ing with his tribe had gone. He was ruined brave. An appeal to his tomahawk would be useless John was enraged, and would have killed him with as much pleasure as he would a rattlesnake. Thesavage knew it, and appeal ed to the law
 John was arrested, indicted, and brought to court before Judge Morrell, think. When brought up to plead the indictment, he strode about the court room, with clenched fists, say ing: "Am to be catouselzed in this here court? Am to be recuperated in this here way for nothin but scalpin an Ingin? No sir-ee, MT.

Satire well Applied Presentation
 of Plate"

The Buffalo Democracy gives flaming ac- count of a silver curycomb presented to Will liam Backstrap by the passengers conveyed in his omnibus from the Southern Michigan stea- mer to the Plantagenet hotel The following is sketch of the happy speech of Mr. Phule on the occasion
 "Mr. Backstrap was seated on the outer edge of a blue velvet lounge in the ladies' parlor, and held his hat between his legs in a very modest manner. His efforts at hiding his whip behind his ankles were ingenious and pleasing The passengers arose and stood in a half circle before him. Mir. William Backstrap' that's the ticket sir!' said MT. Backstrap, intelligentlv closing one of his eyes, MT. William Back strap, resumed MT. Phule, why are you here?' If there arose in Mir. Backstrap's mind de- sire to answer because we ain't Mar,' it was soon checked by the orators continuing: We are here te honor merit Why, Mr. Backstrap, do we honor merit? Because it is better to be landed safely than to be wrecked upon the voy- age. Ferris ot lampposts and of opposite hubs, and pavements, and the traitorous devices of competition enclrcle the omnibus passenger and the ark of his hopes. You evaded these, Will liam Backstrap, with masterly skill and courage. You bafied an lnslduous attempt of an unprin- clpled solicitor to decOy us to the Universal Do- minion, an inferior hotel. You were mighty in the use of that cOercive dialect which, though elsewhere deemed profane swearing, the ex- gencies of trade and travel have established upon the docks as an element of order and an aid to justice. Why, William Backstrap, do we speak of order and make mention of justice? Because they beautifully herald the brilliant triumph of art, which I carefully cherish in my black coat pocket and which, William Backstrap, 1 now produce.'
 "The currycomb was here taken out, and Mir. Backstrap in the most affecting manner immediately hid the better part of his counte- nance behind a red cotton handkerchief, spirit edly ornamented with the picture of trotting match. Notwithstanding his emotion, howev- CT, he was enabled to keep his right eye unco- vered, with which to give respectful attention to the proceedings. Accept, William Back strap this silver currycomb, as a slight testimo- nial of our respect and gratitude for the devo- ton, courage and skill displayed by you on the last trip ot your omnibus from the Southern Michigan to the Plantagenet house.
 "Mr. Backstrap, completely overcome by his feelings, took the curry and stuffed it into his hat, and with graceful backward motion of his right leg and short bow, he gathered up his whip and left the room. In the hall he relieved his feelings by drawing his breath deep- ly, and then took out the currycomb, and re- garded it for awhile with looks of affection and curiosity. If this ere,' said Mr. Backstrap, amt up the spout* in less than 2:4O, hope to be spavned."

MosT Foul AND HORRIBLE MURDER-The Frankfort (Ky.) Yeoman, of Saturday last, re- lates the particulars of murderous outrage. which has few parelels in hellishness:
 We hear various accounts of the horrible mur- der perpetrated near Lawrenceburg, in Ander- son county, of Mrs. McBrayer, wife of Jas. Me- Brayer, Esq, and daughter of Thomas Bond, of this place. It seems, from summary of the reports, that some time between nine and eleven o'clock night before last, after Mir. and Mrs. McBrayer had retired to rest, man en- tered their room with an ax, and, approaching the bed, passed his hand over her face, irporder to be sure of the right one which awoke her. Being satisfied that it was her, he commenced cutting with his ax, first striking her arms in many places; he then with several strokes. se- vered one of her legs entirely off Mr. McBrav- CT, being awakened by the noise, reached out his hand to protecthis wife, and received a blow cut ting his hand in two. The incarnate fiend; think ing he had killed her commenced striking about at random over the bed, with the hellish inten- tion to kill their youngest child, who was in bed with them, butnot finding he went to the lounge in the room where slepttheir other child, and aim ed blow at its head but only cut the back of it's neck. He then went out, leaving the bloody ax at the door. Mrs. McBrayer had life enough left to tell who, as we'll as she could see, in the darkness, had committed the horrible deed. From her statement her step-son has been ar- rested and put in jail to await his trial.
