KENTUCK'S GAME OF POKER.
A Mississippi Sketch.
BY ROBERT vAIIEsr.

The splendid steamer Sultana left tho
port Of New Orleans on as pleasant an
Fafternoon as ever shone in the great
valley, in the month of November, IS4-
and, with small number of passengers,
fgallantly breasted the swift curren,
which was to be our home until arriving
lat St. Louis. The thousand minor cases
that mark the commencement of every
voyage which is to last several days,
prevented the passengers from seeing
much of each other the first evening"
Ebnt the second evening a kind OF ac:.
qnaiIltanceship became established q
which, ere the Journey was ended, rip
Feped into something like the familiarity
Of friendship. '
TO a man bred in the Northeastern
portion Of the Union, voyage upon the
Mississippi IS vested with singular in
terest. notwithstanding the sameness
I Of the landscape on either hand, there
are thousand peculiarities to attract
attention. To the loiterer upon deck in
fine weather, the constant meeting Of
other boats of every description, from
the adng-out' to the raft half Q mile in
length the race, in which every one on
board, regardless of danger, is anxious
to win-the rounding to, landing, or
taking on board passengers or freight,
the rambling in the cane-brakes while
the boat. is wooding land much more,
form exciting food for the mind. If com
.pelled by night to take refuge in the
spacious cabin, there is no falling off in
tile sources of amusement. Northern
ceremonial ice is thawed, and the story,
the song, the dance, the carousal, and
too frequently the gambling table, hast
eD the fight Of time with electric rapid
ity. Western .exaggeration rules the
passing hour, AMI calculating Yankee
and moccasined ack-woodman; the law
yer and planter, the divine and the over
seer the law maker and the law break
er, meet on one footing of perfect equal
ity.
Conspicuous among our passengers
was q man dressed in brown Kentucky |
leans, broad brimmed wool hat, uIl-
BACKED brogans, and coarse, home
made cotton shirt. His countenancc
was sunburnt and harsh featured, but III
Il there twinkled q pair of jet black
eyes, which, in themselves, were suni-
cient indication that their owner was
not to be trifed with. He stood six
feet in his steckins, was straight as an
arrow, and altogether was as fine q
specimen of the half horse, half aliga-
tor gems as Lever saw. Upon fine,
small plantation upon, a bank of the rix-
er, with the help of a haafdozen negroes,
he had raised a. 'erapr of corn, built two
broad horns,n loaded them, and com
nitted himself to the current Arrived
N New Orleans, he had disposed of his
:rop and fatboats, and was now rcturn-
ng home, his pockets dancing to the
.une of four thousand dollars, which fact
1c took no care to conceal
A we'll dressed, smooth faced finger
.inged Individual, who answered to the
lane Of Bradley, had evidently taken
luite d fancy to Il Kentuck,' we knew
10 other name for him, and wanted none,
which VIC could easily see was not re-
;iprocated, but was nevertheless per-
listed in with colnrncinlable pcrscvcr
lncc.
