Lost in the Wilderness.

Mr.. Everts, the lost member OF the
Yellowstone exploring expedition con-
tributes an interesting account of his
adventures in the wilderness TO Serb.
ncr's Monthly. We quote the follow
ing:
I stretched myself under a tree,
upon the foliage which had partially
filled a space between contiguous
trunks, and fell asleep. How long l
slept I know not but suddenly L was
reused by a loud, shrill scream, like
that Of a human being in distress,
poured, seemingly. into the very por-
tails of my ear. There was no mis-
taking that fearful voice. I had been
deceived by it and answered it a dozen
times while threading the forest, with
the belief that it was a friendly signal.
1t was the screech of a mountain lion,
so alarmingly near MS to cause every
nerve to thrill with terror. To yell
in return, seize With vulsive grasp the
limbs of the friendly tree, and swing
myself into it, was the work of a mo-
ment. Scrambling hurriedly from
limb to limb, I was soon as near the
top as safety would permit. The saw
age beast shutting and growing below,
apparently on the very spot I had just
abandoned. l answered every growl
with a responsive scream. Terrified
at the delayfand paving of the beast,
/ increased my voice to its utmost vol
ume, broke branches from the limbs,
and, in the impotency of fright, mad
ly hurled them at the spot whence
the continued bowling proceeded.
Failing to alarm the animal, which
now began to make the circuit of the
tree, 1 shook, with a strength increased
by terror, the slender trunk until ev-
cry limb rustled with the motion. All
in vain. The terrible creature pur-
sued his walk around the tree, lashing
the ground with his tail, and prolong-
ing howlings almo st to a roar. 1t was
too dark to see, but the movements of
the lion kept me apprised of it's posi-
ton. Whenever 1 heard it on one
side of the tree l. speedily changed to
the opposite-an exercise which, in
my weakened state, I could only have
performed under the impulse of terror.
I would alternately sweat and thrill
with horror at the thought of being
torn to pieces and 6evoured by this
form monster. All my attempts to
frighten its seemed unavailing. Dis
heartened at its persistency, and ex-
pecting every moment it would take
the deadly leap, I tried to collect my
thoughts, and prepare for the fatal
encounter which I knew must result.
just at this moment it occurred to me
that 1 would try silence Clasping the
trunk of the tree with both arms l sat
perfectly still. The lion, ut this time
ranging round, occasionally snufhng
and pausing, and all the while filling
the forest with the echo of his howl
ings, suddenly initiated my example.
This silence was more terrible, if pos
sible, than the clatter and crash of his
movements through the brushwood,
for now I did not know from what di-
rection to expect his attack. Mo
ments passed with me like hours. At
ter a larse of time which I cannot es-
innate, the beast gave a spring into
the tlicket and ran screaming into the
forest. MY deliverance was affected.

A Bold Crime.

A few days since a young German,
of this city, named F'ritzer. while en-
gagged in grubbing land with another
German. near North Liberty, was ap-
preached by the latter with a PROPOSE
ton to murder and rob Vincent Bulla,
son of w. E. Bulla. At first Fritzer
refused to entertain the proposition,
but afterwards seemingly assented to
it, and arrangements were made to
carry it out last Monday night. On
Sunday Fritzer informed Mr.. Bulla of
the matter, and advised the latter to
make preparations to defend himself
and capture the would be murderer.
Fritzer said they would come to the
house at IL o'clock, that he was to re-
main on the stairway to watch, while
the German, armed with a heavy cane,
was to go to the sleeping room of MI.
Bulla, kill him, and then get the
money.
On the night in question, one or
two friends of MI. Bulla came to- his
house to aid him, and stationed them.
selves m. the bed room up stairs
About half-past eleven a noise was
heard at the door, and shortly after
ward the German was heard creeping
up the stairway. When nearly at the
top he raised himself up, and MI.
Bulla fired at him. He fell down
stairs and ran out of the house. The
rest followed after him, and he, not
needing their demands to halt, was
agaiu fred at, and fell to the ground.
He was secured, brought into the
house, and on examination it was
found that one shot had taken effect
in his bowels and the other in his
head. Physicians were sent for, who
pronounced the wound in his bowels
a serious If not fatal one. Yesterday
morning he was taken before a justice
at North Liberty, and committed for
trial. He was lodged in the Jail in
this city, in the afternoon, where he
is now lying in a very %precarious con-
dition.
MI. Bulla had recently sold his
wheat and the German supposed that
the money obtained for it was in the
house. When speaking to Fritzer
about killing Buua, he said he had
done such things before. There is no
doubt that Bulla would have been
killed if Fritzer had nof pretended to
become an accomplice of the German,
and thereby obtained information of
his plans South Bend, End. Register.

Political.

A radical Sheriff ia QUE ofthe North
Carolina counties was missing a few
days since, and the Radicals began to
make a great noise over the circum-
stance, but a. soon as it was ascertain
ed that about $4,000 of the peoples
money had gone with him they quiet
ly-let him go.
Philadelphia is agitated by a defal-
cation in the City Treasures office
amounting to $47S,0 BOO. The Radi-
cal thieves managed to keep quiet till
after election. A United States PEN
sion official has also been caught up in
a small sized larceny amounting to
twenty five thousand dollars. In both
these cases the offenders were promi-
nent Republican officials.
There is a sad state of affairs in the
State of Mississippi. The lawless ne
groes are rioting, plundering and MUIR
dering at their OWE sweet will, and There
is none to modest or make them afraid.
The Courts being in the hands of the
mean blacks and meaner white scala
wags, law is virtually suspended, and
there is no protection for life or prop
erty. Assassination is rife, and negro
juries ac4uit negro murderers, and
turn them loose upon the helpless
community to repeat their hellish acts
and crimes.
Another bubble has foated to the
surface in the cess-pool of corruption
and fraud owned by President Grant.
This time it bulgest to the size of hun
dreds of thousands of dollars, and
Judge j. W. Wright is the lucky
operator. Within the past few days
the following bubbles have come to the
surface- Hodge, Paymaster, $780,
600 Forbes, Pension Agent, $4,000;
Stokes and Powell, bounty thefts and
frauds, s150,000; Judge Wright,
hundreds of thousands of dollars"
Another million is thus added to the
catalogue which demonstrates that un-
der the Grant administration we are
enjoying peace and prosperity. We
repeat it, "Let us have peace"
Is it not possible thatthe miserable
quarrel between Grant, Fish & Co.,
and the Russian Minister. Catacazy,
may aus serious complications be-
tween government and the Cars?
The Minister'S friends say that his
government is entirely satisfied with
Catacazy and his course, and that moth
is further from the Cars mind than
the Minister'S recall. On the other
hand, it is stated with authority that
Catacazy has been given assurances
that his official presence at Washing
ton will not be tolerated after the Wis
it of the Grand Duke, in other words,
that his passports will be put into his
hands If he does not leave of his own
accord. In the eventuaIity that Cat
acazy is metaphorically kicked out of
Washington, may the Gar reasonably
be expected to look on with COOL
ness? And If he does not, what a ri
diculous ending the school girl friend
ship between Russia and the United
States will have?

MONS. These are Mr. Potter's views,
but Great Britain, at the present time,
approaches very nearly the condition
of a republic. The Queen reigns, but
does not govern, and the Prime Min
lister, whether Liberal or Conservative
rifles by virtue of his majority in the
House of Commons, and can pass a
measure ove a hostile vote in the
House of Lords, either by the exercise
Of executive power or by the threat to
create Peers. The disestablishment
of the Irish Church, and the abolition
of the purchase of commissions in the
British army, by MI. Gladstone, are
sufficient proof that in England the
real authority and power are entrust-
ed to the Premier.

THE NEW ISSUES.

1t now seems pretty certain that the
State of Tennessee will be called upon to
make good what is known as the new is
sues of the Bank of Tennessee. By this
is meant what is known as the Torbett IS
sues, prior to the first of June, 1861. There
is no means of ascertaining what the pre-
else amount of these issues may be. 1t is
generally known that under the prOfilgate,
proscriptive administration OF Isham u.
Harris, the flood-gates of corruption were
opened wide and the country was over
run with every species oppression and vice.
The State was ruthlessly cut loose from
her moorings in the Union and precipi-
tated into the rebellion, after the people
had, in the most solemn manner, said by an
Overwhelming majority at the ballOt-box,
that they were opposed to secession. The
measure was put through by force and in
limitation, an armed mob being brought
into requisition for accomplishing the
purposes of those who had control of our
State affairs. ww w
In carrying out their unhOly plans, it
was necessary to have funds, and the state
of society was such that thepeople thought
very little of the character of currency in
circulation. 1t was this state of affairs
that was taken advantage of, to flood the
State with these "new issues" of the
Bank 0 Tennessee. No man can tell the
amount issued, There is no record where
by the facts of the case may be ascertained.
Thousands upon thousands of this money
was put in circulation without any show
of authority, and was used for the purpose
of subverting the State Government, and
for forcing the people to take step which
they knew would bring untold misery and
reproach upon them. 1t is strange that
men who are now bitterly denouncing
" Radicals " for issuing fraudulent railroad
bonds, were then among the foremost in
practicing upon the people of Tennessee
the most gigantic fraud that has ever been
practiced upon them. HFr|
Again, it is notorious, that this worth
less paper, issued in aid of wicked rebel
lion, in violation of law, is now in the
hands of brokers and spectators, who
have bought it up at from ten to thirty
cents on the dollar. 1t benefits them
alone. while the taxpayers foot the bill.
There has never been a greater outrage
perpetrated upon people. Scoundrels
grow rich upon it, while the people have a
burden saddled upon them, the weight of
which time will only reveal. The Mem
phis appeal supposes the amount will
reach from three to five millions. 1t is
just as probable that it will reach double
that amount. We approve Of the appoint
ment of Legislative committee to in
quire into the amount, but have no idea
that it will be ascertained

WINTER.

The present week has been winter
in earnest throughout the North. AT Salt
Lake City every thing was frozen up on
Tuesday, and the trains delayed OH the
Pacific road. The Mississippi river at Du-
buque was frozen over the same day. The
mercury at Bangor, Maine, stood at 150.
Vessels in the port got out with difficulty.
Two construction trains on the Northern
Pacific road got out of wood and water and
were caught in a severe snow storm. The
canal at Buffalo, n. Y, was closed with
ice. The thermometer at Fort Benton,
Montana Territory, was 800 below zero on
Tuesday night. AT Duluth the thermom-
eter stood at 50 below zero. On the same
evening (Tuesday) the mercury at Mt.
Washington, n. H., was 19o below zero
and the wind blowing from the northwest
with a velocity of 100 miles per hour. We
have complained of cold weather here
with the mercury not lower than 240 above
zero. Ye denizens of the frozen regions
take notice!
