THE BLOODHoUND.-When Cortez and
his army were resting from their labors after
the siege and destruction of Mexico, having
heard many accounts Of certain king OF Il
neighboring country called Michoacan, to
the west of Mexico, which king was he
reditary enemy of Montezuma, the great
captain resolved to send an exploring eXpe-
dition there, to ascertain II the accounts ne
had heard of the greatness Of the monarch
and the richness of his country were true.
| TO this end he made choice Of q soldier OF
fortune named Montana, a man of some ed
ucatiOn, for he wrote an account OF his jour-
ney and to him he gave as colleagues one
Penalosa and two others, all ''men of discre-
| ton and valOr." PenalOsa owed this dis
! tinctiOn to his being the owner of very Gel
ebrated dog, who had not his equal in New
Spain. $50 big and courageous was he,"
saws the analist, "and SO deNterous in war,
and so much dreaded by the Indians that
when let loose, although there might be a
thousand Indians in front Of him, they dared
not stand up before him." His tactics were
simple, but etfectual. He rushed at the
nearest Indian, knocking him down by his
weight and the impetus of his attack, turn
ing with amazing SWittneSs to another, TIL
he had left dozen or twenty men on the
ground, whom the Spaniards would then
dispatch with their spears. BY, this time
the front rank of the enemy had generally
retired to distance SO the dog would turn
round to see if those whom he had thrown
down were motonless. Those who lay
quiet. either paralyzed with dread or al
ready dispatched by his tWO-legged COM
rades, he took no notice of, but the taintest
sign of life was signal for him to rush up
on them and tear their throats to pieces with
his powerful jaws. These men being dis
| h., IN arnh n n
| tins until tired out, or until there were no
more to tear.-IHe COrnhW JL0gdzine.
THE OLD CHIEF OF THE ClIEROKEES.-
Bushyhead, the old chief of the Cherokee
Indians of this State, was on our streets
Yesterday and was introduced to the report
er. He says he has quit chieting and is
now farming in Swain county and is rails
ing big crops He and his tribe have be-
come disgusted with waiting on the gov
ernment for aid, and Bushyhead said that
he recently interviewed Senator Butler in
behalf of the Indians, but he didn't believe
that the Senator could do anything for them.
"The United States no good, no pay" he
said with shake of his head. This old
chief makes occasional visits to Charlotte.
His hair is perfectly white and is cut short.
He talks quite intelligently and uses fair
English. Bushyhead left last night for
Washington City, where he goes in the
hope that he may yet be able to get some
aid for the Indians from the government.-
