pairing. From the Knickerbocker for April. CAPT. DAVIS: A CALIFORNIA BALLAD. BY FREDERICK S. COZZF.X*. The sources of the following ballad are to be found in the California papers of December, 1854. It appears from letters published in the Mountain Democrat (extra) and the Sacramento Statesman, (extra,) that a party of miners were encamped near Rocky Canon, a deep and almost inaccessible, uninhabited, * mi. i-.ii 1 rocKy gorge, near ioau s > an) auu u> pened that some of thein were out hunting near the canon, in which they saw "three men quietly following the trail to prospect a mine of gold bearing quartz in the vicinity. Suddenly, a party of banditti sprung out of a thicket, and commenced firing at the three who were prospecting. James McDonald of Alabama, was killed at the first shot. Dr. Bolivar A. Sparks, of Mississippi, fired twice at the robbers, and fell mortally wounded.? Captain Jonathan R. Davis, of South Carolina, then drew his revolvers and commenced shooting at the enemy?every ball forcing it' victim to bite the dust. Tie was easily distinguished from the rest by his white hat, ant from his being above the medium height.? The robbers then made a charge upon bin with their knives and one sabre. Capt. Davi; stood his ground firmly uutil they rushed uj abreast within four feet of him. He ther made a spring upon them with a large Bowie knife, and gave three of them wounds whicl proved fatal." Afterward he killed all th< rest, and then tore up his shirt to bind up th< wounds of the survivors. The party of spec tators then came down. Tt seems that the] had been prevented joining in the fight fron a sense of etiquette: as the letter of oue par ty expresses it?"Being satisfied that the] wore all strangers, we hesitated a moment be fore we ventured to go dowu." When the} got down they found eleveu men stretched or the ground, with some others in a hopeles* condition. They then formed a coroner's ju ry, and held an inquest over twelve dead bod ie<. ('apt. Davis was the only living person left in the Rocky-Canon. Oue letter says: "Although we counted twenty-eight bulletholes through Captain Davis' hat and clothes. ( seventeen through his hat and eleven thro" his coat and thirt. ) he received but two very slight flesh wounds. All the heroes that ever were horn. Native or foreign, bearded or shorn.

In regard to those conical, sugar-loaf hats. I think thoso banditti, beyond all question. Some day will find out they're a parcel of flats; Tor if that style is with them a passion. And they stick to those hats in spite of the fashion, Some Tuscan. Leary, Gonin or Knox Will get those brigands iu a bad box : For the Chief of Police will send a -Star ."

On they come with a thundering uoisu; Captain Davis said calmly, '-Boys.

His cause was right, and his arms were long. 11 blades were bright, and his heart was strong All he asks of the trinketed elau Is a bird's-eye view of the foremost man : But shoulder to shoulder they e rne together. Six sugar-loaf hats an.l twelve legs of leather : : Fellows whose names you can't rehearse Without instinctively clutching your purse: Badiali and Bottesini. Fierce Alboni and fat Pandini. Old Rubin: and Mantillini, Cherubiui and Paganini : t But I had forgot the last was shot: No matter, it don't hnrt the tale a jot. i Onward come the terrible crew : Waviug theit poignards high in air. But little they dream that seldom grew ; Of human arms so long a-pair As the Captain had hangiug beside him there. Matted from shoulder to wrist with hair. Brawny, aud broad, and brown, and bate. Crack: and his blade from point to heft Had cloven a skull, as an egg is cleft: And round he swings those terrible dails. Heavy and swift, as a grist-mill sails : Whack! and the loftiest conical crown Falls full length in the Rocky Valley : I Smack! and a duplicate Don goes down, \ i * fon.nin in 4 Vwnrlin.T.n!

To exhibit their skill with a carving-knife : But now with desperate hate and strength. > They cope with those arms of fearful length. A scenic effect of skill and art, A beautiful play of tierce and carte, A fiue exhibition it was, to teach The science of keeping quite out of reach. But they parry, and ward, aud guard, and fend, And rally, and dodge, and slash, and shout, In hopes that from mere fatigue in the end He either will have to give in or give out. Never a Yankee was born or bred Without that peculiar kink ia hid head By which he could turn the smallest amount Of whatever he had to the best account. So while the banditti cavil and shrink, It gives Captain Davis a chance to think ; And the coupled ideas shot through his brain, As shoots through a village an express-train. And then! as swift as the lightning flight, When the pile-driver falls from its fearful height, lie brings into play, by way of assister, His dexter leg, as a sort of ballista. Smash! in the teeth of the nearest rogue, He threw the whole force of his hob-nailed brogue! And a horrible yell from the rocky chasm Rose in the air like a border slogan, When old Rubini lay in a spasm, From the merciless kick of the ironbrogan. j As some old Walton, with line and hook, Will stand by the side of a mountain brook, Intent upon taking a creel of trout; But finds so many poking about.

Eager to bite, so soon as the hackle, Drops in tho stream from hi>. slender tackle, 't .\nu nnauy uuiiks u a weary spori, To fish where trout are ?o easily caught; So Captain Davis gets tired at last Oj' fighting with those that drop down so fa.-t, And a tussle with only a couple of men Seems poor kind of fun. after killing of ten ! But just for the purpose of ending the play, He puts fierce Album first, out of the way. And then to show Signor Dnudirti his skill. He splits him right up. as you'd split up a <iU:P. .
