had weapons other than those ma
ture gave them. The Shiny mud
with which Zeke was covered ena-
abled him to slide from the grasp
of the savage. He now had hope.
"Squaring himself, as the Digger
made a second spring for him, he
dealt him a blow on the ''smeller''''
that brought him to his knees.
Howling with rage, the savage re-
gained his feet, and Zeke, in
"beautiful position" TRANQUILITY
awaited his advance. The In
dian's knowledge of the ''manly
art was contemptibly limited,
and with fingers distended and
arm in 'stearing' attitude, he again
sprang at the throat of the trap
per. Zeke scientifically avoided
his ''clutches, and dealt him one
in the "potato trap with his left,
and with his right planted a ''set-.
tier" below the belt. This last
blow decided the battle. The
Indian doubled up like a jack-knife,
and Zeke, in defiance of all ring
regulations, followed up the advan-
tage with a aperfect tornado Of kicks
and "side-windefs," which soon
left the Indian senseless, when
Zeke dragged him to the brink Of
the cauldron, and, hanging to his
heels, gently let his head down
into the boiling water. IacW not
describe this scene, which the old
trapper usually dwells upon with
such savage rapture: This Dig
ger joined his companions in the
spirit-lmd, and the hunter, hav.
ing found his rifle and revolver,
triumphantly strode from the field
and met his party on the trail.

Smuggling, Army Shoes, Cloth
ing, &c.

! The Richmond correspondent
fof the Charleston Courier impart'
some information of public i'm
Iportance in the two annexed para
graphs:
Attention is being attracted tc
the immense operations Of the
ismugglers ON the Potomac. tits
not generally known that large
quantities of goods including wal
materials, are daily being imported
into the Confederacy from the
North. So notorious have these
operations become that the Federal
authorities sent a force of 1900
men down to the suspected points
on the Maryland shore about a
week ago. The enemy's pickets
extend a distnnce Of 40 miles up
the river. But their vigilance
seems to be in vain. Yesterday |
saw a magnificent Confederate flag
made by the ladies Of Baltimore
for the 1st Maryland regiment,
IC.S. A. unfolded alta private house.
1t had just arrived RIA the Poto-
mac. 1t is made of silk, with
gold fringe, and bears in the midst
of the stars the inscription Our
Homes The smugglers are ma
king money like smoke, as one Of
them expressed himself to me-
Some of them undoubtedly pre-
tend sympathy ON both sides
Though our papers are kept fully
supplied with the. late Northern
files, l observe that the Northern
papers are equally as well furnish
ed with Southern advices.
Some large shoe manufactures
from the South have just gone
home fron Richmond. impressed
with the idea that shoes won't
sell So great an impetus was
given to the manufacture, several
months ago by the knowledge that
the supply was giving out, that the
market is now getting to be over
stocked. The Confederate Gov
ernment has 600. cases of army
shoes on hand, over and above the
demand, and the Government con-
tractors are furnishing it with q
constant supply of 200 additional
pairs per day. The same plethora
is observed in the article Of cloth
ing. In the clothing bureau of
the War Department, are 100000
suits of clothing on hand. The
donations of individual States to
their own volunteers, have materi-
ally lessened the demand on the
Confederate Government. The
blankets brought-by the Fingal
are being transformed into hand
some and comfortable overcoats:

The Permanent Gorefnmeat.-
On the 22nd of February the Gov
ernment of the Confederate States
will assume its permanent form, as
springing into existence directly
from the People of the different
States, and the Provisional Gov
ernment, called into being by the
public exigencies, will then expire.
The new Congress will assemble
on the 18th, ON the 10Th the votes
for President and Vice President
will be counted, and the 22nd
they will be inauguratel. 1t will
be the beginning of a new era in
the history of the Southern States,
which will soon be followed by the
recognition of their indepen-
dence at the hands of the Govern
ments Of Europe.

The Great Fire at charleston, y. {,

The morning rose on Sumpters isle,
: As soft as materna. smile,
In the recess of shady bower
| The blooming rose and odorous flower
/ Threw their fragrance cn the air
Which WHISPERED softest musit there.
That lovely sea-town seem'd to lave,
A Naiad in the ocean wave,
| The shore begirt with whitening foam,
Like -gulls gathering to their home;
And lightly on the polish'd rock
That ever knew tie billow's shock,
Sprang up. in sport. the sprinkling spray.
As though in joyance it would play
With boughs which, from the steep cliffs head
Shed dew-tears on the ocean bed,
While sunlight o'er its thinness threw
A rainbow robe Of variel hue.
Embower'd, the town in beauty lay
Beneath the genial warmth of day,
As wearied infant sinks to rest
Upor its mothers loving breast.
And there were halls where beauty bright
Had chased the lingering hours of night;
And there were gardens in whose shade
The thoughtful lover oft had str.yd,
Where chillhood's gladsome notes had runs
And sweetest flowers their odors flung;
Where buhbling fount threw up its 81 ray -,
70 sparkle in the suhlight's ray.
That morn the young were talking o'er
The pleasure of the night before:
They d@elt beneath the sway of love
In that enchanted Ellen grove;-
All was still, and soft, and sweet
As when young lips in passion meet.
But suddenly ire-bell rang
Where often the lover'd sang
The town shook meath the flames with roar
Which fell like thunders on the shore;
And soon on ocean-wave was seen
I he burning hSuses drsaded sheen.
Nv house on FIRE! q, God on high!
o, Heaven! how piercing was that cry!
Fire! high and low! GODS curse remain
On bastard soul, that dare refrain
From quenching the red. thunder fame!
Help in the holy prophets name.
The FIRE swoop'd from the terrace high,
Aud drank he gurgling fountains dry;
And scatter'd through the parcaed bower
The charre1 tree and wither'd flower.
Through curling blaze and cloudy smoke.
Fell thick and fast the firemaD's stroke
The FIRE opposed--like simoom breath.
Breathing slaughter flame and death;
Then desolaton fx'd his throne,
To reign in sel6shness alone. 80
