A DESPERATE ADVENTURE..
.
Wjiile encamped on the 24th of April at
:sprinr near the Spanish trail, we were s-ur-
e
..
I I I
prised by the sudden appearance among us ot
lwo Mexiciinp,-n-man and a boy; the name of
the man was Andreas Fueuias, and that of the
boy, (a handsome Iad-eh-yen years old,) Pablo
.Hernandey. , Willi a cavalcade of about thir-
ty horses, the.v came out from Puebhi de los
Angelas; near thtr Pacific; had lost half of
their-Aiiiinals, stolen by Indians, and now'
sought my camp for aid. Carson and Godey,
"twTnf my men, volunteered to pursue them,
with the Mexican; and, well mounted, the
three set off on trial. In the afternoon of the
next day, n war ho p was heard, such as lndi-
"t ans make when returning from a victorious
enterprise, and'gmm Carson and Godey ap-
peared driving before them a band of horses,
recognized by Fueutas to be a part of ihose
theylnd lost. Two bloody scalps dangling
'from the end of Godey's gun, announced
thntihpv had overtaken the Indians as well as
the horses. They had continued the pursuit
alone after Fueutas had left Uieiirand towards
nightfall entered the mountains into which the
"-trail fled. After sunset the moon gave light
and thev followed the trail by moonlight, un-
'tiflatein the night, when it entered a narrow
defile nnd was difficult to follow. Here they
"lav from midnight "till morning. At daylight
-' ttheTv resumed' the pursuit, and at sunrise, dis-
covered the horse; and mediately dis-
nYounied and tying up their i -i, they crept
esnunusly-to arising ground w 'ich lntcrven
Mc& from the crest of which tiny perceived the
GhcRmDmcnt of JJinr JodgBS iWe by. They
proceeded quietly, and had" gat within twenty
'or thirty vards of "their object when a move-
" meat ainonghe horses disc"vteed Jliem to the
- Indian. Giving lhewar shout they instantly
charged into the camp, regardless of the in-m
berr 'which the four lodges might contain.
Fhojnriinim received them with flight of -nr-irpws
shot from their long hows, one passing
-through Gody's shirt collar, barely., raising
"the neck. Our men fired their rifles upon a
- unsteady aim, and rushed in. Two ludiahs
.fere -stretched upon the ground, fatally pier-
cedwith bullets; the rest fled, except a lid
who.w is captured. The scalps of the fallen
Were instantly stripped off, but hnhe process,
one of them "who had iwo balls through his
- hody, sprang to Ins feet, the blond .streaming
from his skinned head, and uttered a hideous
howl. The frightful spectacle appalled the
stout hearts of our men ; but they did what
humanity required, an 1 quickly terminated
the .agonies of the gory savage. They were
now masters of the camp, which was a pretry
little recess in the mountains, with a fine
springy nnd apparently safe from all invasion.
Great preparations had been made for feast-
.in a large party, for it was a very proper
place for a rendezvous, and ;br the celebration
of such orgies as robbers of the desert would
delight in. Several of the best horses had
been killed, skinned and cut up for the Indi
ans living in the mountains, and only coming
into the plains to rob and murder, make no
other use of horses than to eat them. Large
enrthen'vessels were on the fire boiling and
stewing the horse beef;- and several baskets
containing fifty or sixty pairs of moccusius.ir.-
dicated the presence or expectation of a large
pnrty. They released the hoy who had given
etrnng evidence of stoicism, or sometl ing else
. of-a savage character, by commencing his
urgakfist up mi a horse's head, as soon as he

GOING TO THE WARS.
It is incredible what a revolution this Mexi-
can war makes in families. It revives and
reanimates the patriotism of the sire, and
arouses the spirit of the son : it alarms the J
timid female, and the tieart oi tlie -sensitive
girl beats with redoubled quickness for the
fate of her lover. The call for volunteers has
created quite a sensation uiunug .nilitii offi-
cers; and the whole dimly are busily employed
in. brushing up swords, cleaning huff wnUt
coats, -sewing buttons on military breeches,
covering black stocks, and darning crimson
"silk sashes. .
A militia 'colonel residing in a village in the
state of Ohio, having shaved himself audi

breakfasted on Sunday morning, was reading
have opened a masked battery on that point,
and moved en tchrflon down that ravitio- il
lustrating hi. plan by plae.ingtbe fragments of
bread to answer as artillery, the r..ates ot hut-
ter as batteries, and fixing the forks as- cha-
ifatixde frisr. while the ol.d lady, the boys and
girls, and Juba, the black waiter, were look-
ing on willrwonrier at the mii'iary laiem ot
the colonel, who they imagined was as great
a warrior as Tureuhe nnd as skillful as Na-
poleon. While thus-employed, lis eldest .boy
Timoihy entered in haste, carrying in his
Jm -d'-n yellow covered letter witha hirge offi-
ejaj'scal, direct:'dto Colonel Ebenezer ren-
drsiiron, and marked, in flaming 'capitals, "on
public scrvicr."
"Bless inn !" said the colonel, upsetting the
fragments of bread," nnd knocking over re-
doubt and clicvavx de j "rises ; "what can this
menu?"
The family gathered rnifnd him with anx-"
toils looks while he broke tbe seal; and tilt-
ing out the enclosure, found it was a leijrr
fmm the adjutant general, transmittinjr a proc-
lnmaiion from the governor, and Erecting him
to tioiify his renimeul without delay to pre-
pare to join the troops detailed for service in
Mexico. The whole establishment was
thrown into confusion when the missive had
been read.
"rTezekiah, mv son," said the. colonel, "run
down to Simon Snufflebags, my orderly ser-
geant, and tell him to repair forthwith to head-
quarters." OlT ran Ilczekiah. "Patience,
my dear, go up stairs and bring out of the
chest of-drawers my uniform coat, vest, and
'malls. Juba, run nil'" clean n.y military
boots ; and, Anna Mari r Mulilda, do you, my
love, bring down mv sword, and rub the scab-
bard with. a little whitening I"
"But, Ehene7.fr, you can do nothing to day
it is Sunday."
"We had no Sundays, wife, during the rev-
olution "
"Well," said the timid and frightened old
Iadv, whose paiciotism was always pacific,

of the gout occasionally. We can canity get
a certificate from Dr. Cammomile which, will
