A FIGHT WITH THE CAMANCNES.

Bravery Of Captain Van B'uca-Capt.
B.'sbo, through the 5ooy wjth an Arror.
CoRpUs CHRISTI, Texas, July 10, 1854.
On the llth inst, Captain Van Buren
and TWELVE men Of the mounted rifles
overlook party Of Camanche Indians, and
whipped them handsomely. Captain King
and party of infantry mounted on mules
first got on their trail near Las Moros, on
the Ell Paso road, and pursued them four
days, when the mules gave ont. Foru.
natcly about this time he met Captain Van
Buren, who was out from Fort lnge on a
scout, and put him on the trail. He FOL-
lowed it up for six days, and travelled over
300 miles; when be overlook the Indians.
To avoid pursuit, they crossed the Nueces
three times, and also n large lake. Capt
Van Buren, swan his horses 400 yards
across this lake and struck the trail on the
other side. The two parties discovered
each other as The Indians were turning a
hill, and when the Captain got around the
hill, he found the Indians drawn up in line
of battle ready TO receive him-they hay
ing taken their saddles and everything Of
their horses except the brides, and put
them in n pile. The Indians opened the
fight with arrows, and when they supposed
thev had drawn the fire of the Captain,
party, charged it. The Captain immcdl.
atelv ordered his men to dismount auc
rakc their rifles. Before this they had on
lv used their rcvoIyers, without much ei
feet. When some five or six Indians hoc
been knocked off their horses, they broke
and the Captain charged them.
The Indians left one Of their number
deud on the field, but succeeded in carry
ing the other dead and wounded off, They
left their saddles, &c. Capt. Van Burer
and three Of his men were wounded. Ii
the commencement of the fight The Capt
received q wound in his sword arm, which
bled profusely, and in the charge he attack
ed a powerful young Indian, who was OF
foot, and after having made several cut
at him, the Indian suddenly sprung from
under his horses neck, with his bow al
ready drawn, and shot the arrow through
his body. 1t entered on the right side
about six inches above the navel and be
low the ribs, and the iron head came ou
on the left side Of the spine, having Gu
through the sword belt behind. He drew
the arrow out with both hands, and belle
wing the wound to be mortal, lay down t.
die. He, however, sent an express to TT
Ewell, and in the course of two or three
days an ambulence and DR.. Head arrived
and he was taken TO this place, some fit,
or sixty miles from the battle field. 1t i
now the eighth day since he was wounded
and the three distinguished army sur
geons who are attending him (Drs. TuI
ner, Head and McParlin) are Of opinion
to-day, that he will recover, but unit

living with his Neck Broke.

We lately notice the extraordinary death
Of MIR. Levi Brigham, Of St. Johnsbury,
w., by the act Of an enraged staIlon,-
The following singular circumstances,
showing that the breaking Of the neck does
not OF necessity cause instant death, are
added bv a correspondent Of the BgarIe-
boro Eagle.
The raclurc of the neck compressed
the spinal marrow so violently as wholly
to prevent it from atIordlng any commu.
nication between ihe brain and body. As
a consequence, the whole body below the
fracture was purOIyZed, deprived alike OF
sensation and the power of motion. But
he retained the full possession Of his men.
tai faculties and conyersed iutelligently.-
Not only this, but by means of the nerves
not involved in the calamity of the spinal
marrow, the brain kept up It's communi-
cation with the vital organs, and maintain.
ed lis exercise of their functions, for neaIy
two hours. But the manner 10 which
those functions were exercised was very
unusual. Especially was this the case in
regard to respiration. Ordinarily this is
carried on mainly by the action Of the in.
,crcostal muscles upon The ribs, and as
these rise and subsde, inspiration and ex.
piration take place. By the injury orlhe
spinal marrow those muscles were deprived
Of their ordinary nervous stimulus, and
consequently we're wholly inactive. The
whole labor Of respiration was assumed by
the diaphragm, which faithfully performed
lis duty, while the lateral walls oflhe ches
remained motionIess. in this manner he
continued to breathe during the brief re-
mainder Of his liIe."

MAKING LOVE TO THE WRoNG PERSON
A Cincinnati paper is responsible for the
following:
"A Young gentleman, who had been
paying his addresses IN Pr0pria persona
to a young lady in this CITY, left few
months ago, and went down the river on
business. A correspondence was imme.
diately opened between the enamorod
pair, and after exchanging several letters
the young lady was mortified 10 find that
her letters were unanswered, ana, consc
Quenlly she ceased writing. But the
real secret Of her receiving no letters was
the fact that another young lady. of the
same name, supposng that they were in
tended for her, took them from the post
Office and opened correspondence witt
her proxy lover. Some two months pas
sed away, when the young man wound uT
by direct answer, aYerrlng at the same
time that he thought the tone fher letter:
very different from those received wher
he first left Cincinnati, and upbraided hi,
fair love with Inconsistency. This las; epis
tie was too much for our romantic incog
nilo, and, being conscience-smiiten for the
part she had been acting, and fully per
suOded that some other lady had been pi
ming for the man she was woong, sough
her out, and delivered up the letters tc
their rightIuI owner. The matter wa.
speedily arranged, and the real lovers
have since become united in the bands o
wedlock.'

where beauty, taste, skill and art were to be
seen united in every direction. The Hall
presented an aspect of gorgeous magnifi-
cence, dressed in myriad charms, which car
ried us with a spell-bound power to the
bright reflection of beauty and the smiling
aspect of novelty-around with such a varie-
ty of choice flowers and evergrcens that the
stranger was constrained to ask: "Where
did such a variety of flowers come from at
this season of the year ?"-and was remind
ed that this is a land of FLOWERS and beauty
But to describe the various objects that at
tracted our attention in Floral Hall, is a
task from which we shrink, from the con-
sci0usness of inability. Suffice it to say, that
the most critical observer could not but have
admired those richly embroidered quilts
needle-work of every variety, paintings,
dra wings, embroidery, crotchet-work, and
samples Of woman's skill and patience-ar-
tificial flowers made by children, worthy the
skill of those of more mature years.
At half-past l o'clock it was announced
that dinner was ready we followed the
crowd to the piazza, where we found a sump.
tuous repast of the good things of the land,
and ofthe greatest abundance. After Dime,
we again visited Floral Hall, where we spent
the evening most delightfully."-. Considering
all things, the day passed off we'll, and was
universally pronounced a grand affair.

FOR THE SPIRIT OF THE AGE.
Gates County Fair.

The first Annual Fair of the Gates Coun-
ty Agricultural Society" was held at Suns
bnry, on the 10Th ultimo. The day was very
unflvorable for the exhibition. Morning
smiled from her auroral throne, az usual =
but no golden sunshine bGamed from Eous
and the shining Phebus refused to march
along its wonted blue ETHEREAL field, now
darkened by gathering and impending clouds
in every direction yet an augury of a sue
cession of weather nubilous, threatening and
rainy, usurped the place of sunshine and
beauty.
BY halfpast 9 o'clock we arrived at this
quiet (no liquor thare) and beautiful little
village. and to our agreeable surprise, found
the grove and streets thronged with car
RACES, bugries, horses, and vehicles %Ofevery

we'll calculated to attract the notice and at
tention of the most careless observer. We
would be glad to particularize and give each
and all the articles on exhibition a notice
worthy of their merit but time warns US to
be brief, and as a catalogue of the numerous
articles will be published, we deem it unne-
cessary however, we will enumerate and

specimen in the State. We noticed some
twenty months old, weighing 600 pounds :
others eleven months old, weighing 800
pounds which was not limited to one, but
not less than fifteen or twenty head. Also,
colts, with the activity of the deer of the
3 forest, and perfect paragons of beauty. Va
: rious other animals, such as calves, mich
cows, sheep, &C., unsurpassed in size and
beauty. Next we noticed the Fowls, which
: consisted of Turkeys of an growth;
