EDITORS Tunr, FIELD AND FABSI: It is now more than fifteen years since I passed through that soul harassing, olothos-tourtug, brain-exciting experi? ence yclept "a bear hunt;" and I am frank to confess that I uever felt anxious to go on another. Not that I don't like the "bear" in tho abstract. I do, but in the ooncretel I say it solemnly, give me tho ahanoes of shipwreck, a lighted cigar in a powder-mill, tho rattling volley of a line of buttle, a keroseno lamp explosion, anything, in short, that has a reputation for being dangerous, ia preference' to 400 or 500 pounds of wild moat that runs riot without chart or compass, ignores all rales of legitimate sport, and requires a flask of powder, a score of rifle shots, und the salient argument of a Bowie knife, before you can enjoy tho satisfac? tion of knowing that your game is so eminently dead as to deserve an obituary notioe. I'll tell yon all about it as a rest from my summer labors. [ determined to devote a couple of the autumn months to a jaunt Westward. I did BO. Rifle in hand, I had spent a considerable por? tion of the fall of 1856 on the prairies; I had hob-nobbed with Indians until I could give a Comanche war-whoop like a native; drank "hair-trigger" liquid light? ning with the trappers until they agreed I was entitled to voto, and shot buffalo from my mustang until it seemed like murder to kill any more. Ia fact I was tired with sport, and had reached St. Pani on my journey East, when who should unexpectedly turu up but my old friend, Jim Kavanagh, for years after? wards a delegate and member of Con? gress from the new Western Territories and States-a born pioneer. The meet? ing was mutually cordial, and after ex? changing the usual salutatory compli meuts, our conversation ended in my agreeing to accompany him on an expo ?litiou down the Mississippi ou the fol? lowing day. He was going to look uftei some land along the river; knew all the planters worth knowing, and could pro mise an amount of pleasure that wooli: make me feel as happy as Adam and Eve before they knew anything about origi nal sin, so ho said. This was certuinly t change, and it suited me. Past St. Louis, past Memphis, past al the pretty islands that have doubtlesi onoe been iu a state of solution; pas great bends and bluffs, against which th? Father of Waters had written th? wrinkles of his age; past great planta tions where thousands of acres, fleck?! with tho snow of Southern summer, fore told the wealth that would, in a fe* months, pour into the coffers of the auc cessful oottou planter, until at last w reached Helena, Ark. This was m; friend's destination-a quiet, iuoonsidex able frontier town at that time, wher boats wooded up and merchants landei supplies. Our traps had not been at th hotel more than an hour, when wh should make his appearance at tho hotc bat Col. Wade Hampton-like ourselves a temporary sojourner, ho haviog com up for the nonce on an erraud from hi plantation sovoral miles below. To dc scribe the man is scarcely necessary, fe pen and ink descriptions, as ho has ax pearce! in tho character of tho leader c the Confederate cavalry in tho late ut civil war, have made his person familit to almost every reader of every newspi per in tho aouutry. At that time, hov ever, he was tho plain Southorn plante: a perfect typo of his class, and never better exemplification of their hospitab characteristics than when, finding us I be goutlemen of some cuitare, (?) 1 pressed us to accompany him ou his r turn homeward and partako of sue pleasure as his placo afforded. I remet ber that, among other things, he pr posed "a bear hunt," and I, fool-hk jumped at the idea like a school-bo But I won't anticipate. Have you ever boen ou a Southe: plautatiou in old times, before tho d oreo was promulgated as a part of o modern declaration of independent: that a white mau is as good as a niggl and witnessed the working of the VJ social machine? If not, lot me tell y tho story in a few words. Here are 0 slaves, the property of one person. \ land from the steamboat soon after th have finished their respectivo tasks 1 tho day, and as we pass through t little villago which thoy constitute th< is not a man, woman or child who di not come rushing from his cabin to b or curtesy, "How 'dy, Moss' Wadi with all tho enthusiasm of uuadultcral affection. The mansion itself sets br from tho river, on high ground, aud wo approach there aro a score or mt of hunting dogs, of various broods, tl gather from their sleeping spots to g us welcome. The house servants, sta boys, garden and field hands min with tho quadrupeds, and thore is a w ging of tongues and a wagging of t that unmistakably attest the earuostc of the welhomo that is accorded "Moss* Wade aud he fren'." Exterui tho house seems made of piazzas t pillars. Iuternully yon might imaj: you wore in a palaco, whero art brought its contributions of books, turcs and sculpture to make home bc tifal. A night's rest on tho downiest of b a dawn broken by thu appearance < body servnut with a oup of hot col while wo were yet on our backs, folio by a pluto of frosh oranges and figs, we were refreshingly prepared to di A broakfast on gamo and tho usual li rios of plantatiou life, for whioh, by way, an appetite had boon pr?par?e aa old-fashioned infusion of "peach houoy"-what planter's house is t plete without it?-and wo were read take horses at the door for our bunt We were to go some ton or tv miles into the cane-brake, and to S| the night. Threo or four negroes attendants of the Colonol in those L iag expeditions, followed with the aud provisions for tho trip. Ahl il an occasion not to be forgotteu; ai comes baok to mo uow, ulboit noa generation of years have swept crowded by grander i neiden ta of life, as fresh and sharp-out as if it were a pic? ture of yesterday. The balmy air, that gave tone to every nerve and luxury to every souse; the rich low-laud growth, sending forth from jeBsamino and mag? nolia the perfume for which my old wife used to pay $1.00 a bottle, and be satis? fied with a third-rate imitation; the stutoly steps of our blooded horses, as we now and then broke into a gentle cauter; tho coursing of the dogs, who, freo from leash, roamed through the woods at will, stirring up tho smaller game, and making the neighborhood musical with their glad notes; the jolly cachinations of tho old time servants, who, while not forgetful of tho homage they owed their muster, still enjoyed a freedom from restraint and au equality with him that would have made un Abo? litionist look in wonderment ou the spectacle. These and a thousand other details come back to mo with a power that sends a gush of young blood to every microscopic extremity of my sau guiueous system. We reached our hunt? ing ground about 2 o'clock iu tho day, lunched, loaded our rifles, and in au hour more were ready to "take to the bush." "Now," said tho Colonel, "if you are not familiar with the bear, ba careful. Don't take him into close quartern. Put a ball through his heart before ho can reach yon with his paw; but if you fail to do this, stund not on the order ol your going-leave 1 And, by the way,' ho added, "whatever you do, save thc dogs." I knew as muoh about bear hunting a: I did about elcphuuts; hud seeu thc beast tame in menageries, aud ouce oi twice encountered a livo one; but nc rifle-shot of mine had ever yet pene trated the shaggy coat of a Druin, une my ambition was on edge to bu gratified Besides, I had just aome from "tin Plaine," and felt big with tho rcpntatioi whioh all fledglings innately enjoy wh< have knacked down a dozeu or tweet] buffalo. Well, we separated and got ti work, I taking the stand which tho Colo nel had assigued to mo, to await hil movements and those of the dogs, win were to drive up thc game while ho tnad< a circuit. Whither he weut or what hi did, I have uo knowledge. I only re member that for nearly two hours I wait ed -patiently, listening to every sound trembling with expectation, and brav down to tho pulp of my index finger that rested on tho trigger of my trust rifle. lu fact, I bud begun to gro\ dreamy, und my thoughts were wandei tug amoug tho sceues of home lifo fa Eastward. Suddenly, there was a lou halloo-a shot, and then another. Th dogs were baying, and evidently in fu pursuit of game. What it was, whet.be of doer or bear, of oourse, I had n means of knowiog; but iustiuctivcly Toit that it was coming toward the littl branch whereon I had bceu Btatioued ll was a question of less than five m uutes, but in that iuterval I enjoyed th keon zc3t of a sportsman's expectatiot [ had it settled in my mind whero I wt: to send my rifle-bull, where I woul bleed my trophy when down, and what would do in various triumphant ooutii gencies that were pictured iu my mint But, alas! the schemes of mon "aft gan ?gloy." Bruiu-for it was a full-size beast of that nomenclature-made h ippearaneo with a rush, tearing throng the oano-bruke, a hound hanging to oi aar, and tho puck olose on his heels, ruised my rifle and fired, and have lot: been satisfied that tho bullet sped : least fifteen feet above its mark. At at rate, it didn't hit him, while the som af the discharge served to draw Iiis u tention to a now aud unexpected nd ve mry, and that was your humble servan Despite the fact that ho oarried tl (veight of a dog and a bullet from tl jun of Cen. Hampton, ho turned li blood-red eyes on me, and with an ug expression around his month, which regarded at the time as physiognomical langerous, inado directly for tho positif [ occupied. At the sumo instant, a bra of hounds, God bless 'em! dushii th rough tho cano with a glad yelp une bound, seized the beor, ono by t bunncbes aud another by the ll ink. T Jigression saved me. I hud no othor ? jourco than to take to a tree or tho bm [ never was good ut climbing, and che tho lutter, plunging pell-moll into t zane, with an impetus like unto that o demoralized locomotive. Fortunately struck a path-ono of thoso narr openings which aro sometimes woru the Mississippi bottoms by animals mi mg their way to water. But, horror horrors! I had not proceeded fifty yu before I heard closo behind tho sound tho pursuing boar. Frantic with i pain of the chawing bitos every iust pouctrating his flesh, aud nuable shake oil' tho faithful dogs, Bruin I doubtless taken one of bia old roul and instinctively hoped to brush or sh his tormoutors off iu tho thick uni growth. On ho came-closer uud ole -tho brittle reeds cruckliug nuder foot; tho hounds giving their sh sharp, ugly yelps, and I dashing forw as best 1 could through the almost penetrable mass. It .seemed ns if I CC feel tho hot breath of (he brute u my buck, and I realized, ns only a i iu such au emergency eau do, tha once ho luid his claws upon mo, I w dead man. My knife was already dr i Lifo seemed to huug hut by a thn aud I was prepared to do battle over thin tie while there was a muscio lei put forth its strength. Yet stay ! Suddouly-in loss time I I eau describe it-there was a crasl of reeds in front of mo. In au ins more, Gen. Hampton, hot and Hui with pursuit, his clothes torn, and flue fuco lighted up with that keon, expression which I can fancy ill nated it on many Another occasion it hour of danger afterwards, stood fat face with me. It was but a second, took in the situation at a glauco, myself, ho could almost fool the pres of the bear now twenty steps bel Seizing me by the breast, he pushe ! back into the wilderness of canes per? haps throe or four feet-at any rate, out of tho narrow path-und exclaimed, as I fell backward, "Stuy there, as you value your life. Don't move au inch!" At the same moment, darting forward, he dropped on his knee, and, cocking his rifle, waited. I can't describe the inter? val, it was so short; but it seemed as if before I could gasp, tho bear was on him. He fired, coolly and steadily ns if ho were shooting at ducks. The bear gave a groan, but the paco was un? stacked. Ho dashed on, np to tho very muzzle of tho remaining gun barrel. Tho General was in the not of pulling the trigger, when a cane, slipping from undor his feet, flew upward, like a spring, and striking tho weapon, the gun waB discharged high in the air. In the twinkling of an eye, the General was on the ground, struck down by the fore-paw of the enraged brute, but knife in hand, and as ecol as if promenading his own piazza. I sprang forward to his assist? ance, but he shouted to me to stand back. He was lying almost at full length with the bear, while the latter was being torn and distracted by the dogs, now in full force, and doubly frantic, seeing their master in bis power. It was but the work of a moment, but 1 shouldn't forget the scene in a month ol centuries. The General's right nrm and knife were under the animal, but with o motion quick as a fl.iab, ho threw th* other arm over the body, and clutching the knifo, diove it deep into the heart of th? brute. There was a spasmodic stroke of the paw in the direotion of thc stroke of the blade, for a bear ul way t strikes out in the direction from whence it experiences pain-a fact, by-tho-way, which saved the face and body of thc General-and after a Bhort convulsive spasm, the monster lay dead. And tba is all. The dogs, with their jaws al bloody, were called save one, who la] iu the brake punting ia its death agoni from wounds it had received. Tb! Generul recovered his feet without i scratch; gathered his gun, wiped thi bloody knife iu the dark fur; sheathec it in an overy-day sort of fashion; tb negroes came up, und after ext ra vagan tl; pouring forth their congratulations witi true Ethiopian enthusiasm, secured th carcass, ami the whole party re-unitei around the camp fire at night fall, we! satisfied with tho adventures of the day We killed auother bear the next morn iug, shot four or five deer, and two c the negroes got a fox. As for you humble servant, ho was satiated wit thut kind of sport. AB U faithful chrou cler, I am boand to say that I wa scared all the way through, from m os frontis to astralagus, aud ?ince thc time have respectfully declined all inv tations to meet bear on bis nativ heather. In less than sixty days aftc the events I have recorded, ? commeuoi to uso hair dye, and grew prcmuturel bald. I huve remained "ocire-footed o top of my head" ever since, and whei ever I want to tell my grand children a old-fashioned story to make their bloc curdle und give them a first CIUSH nigh mare, I point to my denuded craniu and recount my adventures with Ge: Wade Hampton and that four-footc epiadruped of the wilderness. GREYBEARD. VIRGINIA TOBACCO CROP.-The Da ville Register says the tobacco crop the season is uot a first-rate one. . one time it promised finely, but in ripe ing on the hill it was not done well. V have had opportunity within a few da past of seeing u number of tobac fields in a district of couutry that pr dures tho weed iu as high perfection any on the globe, and we observed tin while mach of tho tobacco was brigl very many of the plants wore not ripe; iug uniformly, some of tho leaves bei entirely ripe nnd yellow, while othe particularly thoso at tho top, were si green. What is worse tho fields wc firing badly, so that the ground leaves mauy places wero entirely destroye Much of it was mero trash. Wo he thut this condition of things exists gei rally in the surrounding Counties of Y ginia and North Carolina, and the ceived opinion is that the crop will evitably be light and chaffy, lt is c tain that it will not bo a heavy yie though thu number of hills be greu than usual.
