The San Antonio Western Texan, Of the 30th
ult, gives the following account OF some perilous
field sports-the killing of two panthers--in which
Mr. Davenport showed much GOODNESS and bra
very:
About the middle of November party of five
or six persons, under r. p, Kelley, Of this city
were engaged in surveying land on the West Forl
of the Rio Frio, some seventy-five miles west O
San Antonio, and their dogs suddenly gave chase
10 bear It being a very large one, the part,
followed and after proceeding about half mile
huge panther crossed the track OF the bear. The
dogs preferring the panther followed him, and
they had gone but short distance, when he
sprang into low tree, us the dogs were hard aftei
him. The party soon came up, and their only
weapons Of defence were hatchets and Bowl,
knives, they having carelessly left their guns ant
pistols at camp that morning, which was some
three miles distant They were within few feet
Of the panther before they discovered him, and he
was now making ready to jump upon thcm--there
was no time for hesitation, and at this important
crisis while the dogs for the moment attracted his
attention, one of the party, j. X. Davenport, drew
his Bowie knife, and walking fearlessy up to the
tree, stabbed him in q fatal spot.
The panther, as soon as he felt the knife, sprang
over thirty feet the first jump,--he had not gone
but few yards before he was overcome by the
effects Of the wound and the dogs, and came to q
halt, and soon ded not however, until he had
severely wounded several Of the dogs, while even
In the last agonies Of death. He was between ten
and eleven feet in length from the nose to the tip
Of the tail, and two feet and half in height when
standing in his natural position.
The next day Mr.. Davenport killed another OF
the same size; he had raised his rife to shoot a
deer, when he saw the panther crouched few
wards before him, pattng his huge paws, ready to
Jump. He drew his faithful rife, and shot him be-
tween the eycs--he died without scarcely struggle

But the past and all its beauty,

The Council at Rome.
Correspondence Of the Newark Advertiser


ROME, Nov. Ia, ls54.--There are comparatively
few Americans here as yet, though crowds of Wis
tiers are coming in from every quarter OF Christen-
dom--probably in view of the approaching con-
vocation. The number of high church dignitares
il something extraordinary. We have full regi-
mcnt Of them-cardinals legates, archbishops and
bishops, with numerous suites-from all divisions
Of the Church militant; an ilustrious company,
whose presence at headquarters imports a crisis
in the warfare The proposed declaration of the
decision of the Immaculate Conception is scarcely
Sufficient to account for such a council of war;
Many of them are quartered with the resident
members of the Sacred College, while Spain, Por-
tugal, Brazil, and some other Catholic Powers, have
instructed their diplomatic representatives here to
receive and entertain their prelates at the public
expense with the magnifcence that suits their
eminent quality"
Among the recent arrivals are Archbishop
Hughes, Of New York, Archbishop Walsh of Hal
fax, and Bishop Timon of Buffalo. Hon. John
H. Thompson and lady OF New Jersey, are making a
asy visit to Italy, it beinghis purpose to return in
time to resume his seat in the Senate early in Jan
uary. General Dix and family now at Florence,
are expected here during the next month, as are
Peter Farley and his family. Apartments have
also been taken for some twoor three other Ameri-
lean fmailics.
