Among the earliest settlers in the wilds of Salmon River was a Vermont e.e, by the name of Dobson a large, resolute, and aihletic man. - Returning cne evening from a fruitless hunt after his vagranticows, which according tqcus tomi in the new countries, had been turn ed into tho woods to procure their own subsistence from the rank herbage of the early summer, just before emerging from the forest upon the clearing of Uis neigh tor, the lute IVJr. .Joteph Sleeper, he saw a large bear descending from a lofty syc amore, where he had beea'iu .quest.prob ab!y, of hoaey. A bear ascends a tree much more expertly man ne descends Jt bsmg obliged to come down stern foremost. My friend Dobson did not .very well like to be joined in his evening walk by such a companion, and, without reflecting what he should do with the "varmiut ' nfieward, ,he ran up to the tree oifnhe' epposite side from the animal's body, and, justbefore he reached the ground, . seiz ed him firmly by' both his. fore-paws. Eruin growled and gushed his tusks, but he soon ascertained that hi3 paws were in the grasp of paws equally iron strung with his own.1' Nor could he use his hinder claws to disembowed his an antagonist, as the manner cf the bear i3; inasmuch as the trunk of the tree wa? between them. But Dobson's predica mer.t, as he was endowed with rather the most reason, was worse yet. - Nor couli he venture to let go of him.sicce the presumption was that Bruin would not make him a very gracious return for thuf, unceremoniously taking him by the hand. " The. twilight was fast deepening into darkness, and his position was far less comfortable than iiotherviise would have been at the same hour, surrounded by his wife and children -at the euppertable to say nothing of the gloomy prospect for the eight. Still, as Joe Sleepers house was not far distant, he hoped to be able to call him to his assistance. . But his lungs,though none of the weak est, were unequal to the ta.sk; and, al though he hallooed the livelong night, making the woods and the welkin ring, he succeeded no better than did. Glen dower of old, in calling spirits from the vast deep. It was a wearisome night for Dcb3on; such a game of hold-fast h& had never been eDgaged ia before. Uruin, too.was probably somewhat worried, although .he could not describe his sensations in Eng lish albeit he took the regular John Bull method of making knosvn his dissat isfaction that is to say, he growled in cessautlv. But there was no Jet-go in the case, and Dobson was therefore ua- ,der the nscecsity cf holding fast, until it seemed to his clinched and aching fing ers as though the bear's paws and his own had grown together. As daylight returned, and . the smoke from Sleeper's chimney, began , to .curl tp gracetully, though rather dimly ia thvTdistance. Dobson ; again repeated his cries for succor; and.hrs heart was soon ghddeu-dd by the appearance of his worthy but ir.aciive neighbor, aviio Ixaa - - , . . m,t ,t, . 't last been attracted by the voice cf the I irfiratkut sulferer, bearing an OX Upon oUijur. Dcbsun had never beeu co rjuch rejoiced at seeing. Mr. Sleeper i biiure.albit he was a very kind e;t:raa- ' . .

Joe Sleeper ; and, if you had hold cf the paws cf the Hack varmint all night, it strikes me you'd think you'd paid dear enough for it. But, if you heard nw calling for helf in the night, way did'nt you come and see what was the trouble?' Oh, I was just f ;rg tired to bed, after laying rp leg-ience all day, and I tnougat I d v.a;tt;u incrnmg, and come out bright and known 'twas y : "Known 'twn earlj. But, if I hal me !" rer!ir'i oitteriy.

It's never too late to do good. So, hold tight now, and don't let the 'tarnal crit tur get loose, while I split his head open.' "No, no," said Dobson. "After hold ing the beast here all night, I think I ought to have the satisfaction of killing him. So, you may just take hold of his paw3 here, and I will take the ax.and let a streak of daylight into his skull about the quickest. . - The proposition being a fair cna, Mr. Sleeper was too reasonable a man to ob ject. He was no coward neither, and he theaeupon stepped up to the -tree, and cautiously taking the bear with both his hands, relieved honest Dobson from h'n predicament. The hands cf the latter, though sadly stiffened by the tenacity with which they had been clinched for so many hours;, were soon brandishing the ax, and he apparently made ail preparations fcr giv mg the deadly blow and deadly it would have been, had he struck, since, like the eons cf Zerulah, Dobson need to strike but once. But to the surprise of Sleeper he did not strike ; and," to hi3 further consternation. Dobs&a swung the ax up pon his shoulder,' and marched away, whistling as he went.with as much ap parent indifference a3 the other had shown when coming to his relief. It was now Sleeper's turn to make the forest vocal with his cries. In vain he raved, and called, and threatened. Dob sou walked cn. and disappeared, leaving his friend as sad a prospect for his break fast as himreif had had for supper. Hour after hour had passed away, and Sleeper still found himself at bo-pecp with Sir Bruin. In the course of the afternoon, however, when Dobson sup posed that tae lesson'' he was' teaching been thoroughly learned by his pubil and when he thought the latter would wil lingly forget his resentment for the sake fcr tiie sake of succor, the sturdy Yankee returned, aud by a single blow relieved bcih bear and man from their troubles in the same instant. Sleeper thought rather hard of Dob son for some time ; but no real breach of friendship ensued, and indeed the two borderers became afterwards better friends and neighbors than before. Eornius or tiie Chcjcnne and Sioux lodges; From the last letter of the Democrat's correspondent, accompanying the Han cock Iudian Expedition we extract the following account of the destruction of the Indian camp: This morning General Hancock or dered the Cheyenne and Sioux lodges to be burnt. He was compelled ' lo adept this course, because, after tne delivery of his speech to the fifteen chiefs, they went and burnt three stations on the smoky Hill route, and rcalped, disem boweled and burnt three men employed at Fossil creek station; ran c2" several mules aud horses on that route, and gave a good scare generally to the traders. According to Custar's official report to General Hancock, the station hands ore leaving for "America," -and the ranch men are baricading their ranches and preparing for a desperate reaistence. At a council of war held it was deemed advisable to retaliate immediately by burning the Indian village. The fol lowing is a true list of the goods- burnt this morning : 2-51 ledges, 912 buffalo robe3, 436 horn saddles, 435 travesties, 2S7 bead matsv191 axes, 190 keille3.77 frying pans, 350 tin cups, 30 whetstones, 212 sacks paint, 93 water b-5gs, 7 ovens, 41 grubbing horns, 23 coffee ' mills, 144 lariat rops, 129 chars, 333 parilecks, lo curiy ccinbs, G7 coffee pots, 4G hoes, 81 llicking iron3, 140 horn spoons, 27 crow bars, 73 brass kettles, 17 hammers. S stew pans, lo drawing knives, 25 spades, four scythes, 8 files. 19 bridles, 8 pitch forks, 15 tea kettles,D0 eposes, ,15 knives, 10 pick-axes, 1 sword, 1 bayonet, 1 U. S. mail big, 71 stone mallets, 1 la.ace, 33 wooden spuons,201 door mats, 43 raw hide rones, -22 meat stones. The whole : js .supposed to amount to no less than cne hundred thousand dolhr3, an irretrievable los to the Indian tribes Cheyennes and Sioux. It will require three thousand buffa loes to be killed lo procure enough hides to makj up their "wigwams." Tb? nhc'.e outfit cf an entire wir.vam coaU ca an average one 'hundred dollars.

The general commanding has been very kind end courteous to them, feeding them out cf his own table because he had invited . them, that they might see justice, and that he might introduce them under and with the best logic that he . could com mand, viz: military force, tj the Indians as persons delegated by the "Great Father" to attend to their wants, and as persons to -be respected," But eve rything that he has done, so far, has been met by them with contending views. There is no real necessity for the polite deference which he pay them, unless it is to show them and the country at hrg2 that if they have more experience i?: Indian affairs than himsjlf. he is willing to profit by their advice. But we asset t most emphatically that they have not as much experience as he has. And he is not remarkable, that we are a war. 3 of, for cruelty or for a merciless, cold blood ed policy, to cause such fierce a auimosi ty cn their part.

The Indians have departed North, prrbabiy cn their encampment on Beaver creek. Bull-whackers', team sters and pilgrims, we tell you beware and look out for your hair. There will be the played cn the Platte and Smcky Hill routes this spring. . Tiie Tarni and-Carien.
