CftPTURED BY IU8AS. In 1845 there were no Btetimers plying wp the Brahmaputra river, BO, after reaching Calcutta, had the prospect of a three-months' voyage in boats. I waa assured I should find it a monoto­ nous journey ; and, notwithstanding die many and varied ecenea which we daily "*«tnes&ed, I must own I was heartily glad when we arrived at Nazarek, the headquarters of the Assam Tea Gom- pony, Here we were hospitably enter­ tained by the manager and oflioers of the company, and cfter a few days" rest left; for our home, a five-days' journey, 00 elephants. . We arrived safely at our destination not much the worse for our trip, but much shaken by the jolting of the elephants, and much bitten by the mosquitoes on the way. I soon learned IVngalee and Assamese, b«t, although the Nagas often paid us visits, and were apparently the best of friends, I had not succeeded in learn­ ing any of their language, nor did I ac­ quire any confidence in them ; but we lived, as we thought, in perfect security, And, although we heard of occasional raids by the hill triljes, they were not in our direction. The Nagas are a sturdy, ugly, treacherous, but withal brave race, n^uch given to head-hunting, like most of the tribes on our northeast­ ern frontier ; but they had been severe­ ly handled by our troops not long be­ fore, and it was thought th^y had set­ tled down into peaceable folks. Things went on quietly enough till November, 1847. My husband had jnst left for a few day* on one of 1MS half- yearly journeys. I had been very busy all day; the season was an unusually aickly one, and our hospital was full ot sick women and children, on whom I had been attending ail day; and I was thoroughly tired before 1 retired to rest. 1 had noticed many Nagas, unaccom­ panied by any of their women, go past onr lines that day; and, though I had been told it was a bad sign when these savages came down into the plains alone, I never gave it a thought; niy^ after seeing everything made fast, I went to bed. I had not been asleep for more than an hour or two when I was awak­ ened by the most fearful yells and •creams of men, women and* children, together with the glare of our tea-houses and ooolie-lines on fire! I had just time to spring out of bed and put ou a few clothes, when our own bungalow was surrounded by a band of savages, armed •with spears and clubs, and carrying torches, which they threw on our roof. Tbe plaice w«s instantaneously in flames; and, to escape suffocation, I rushed out as I was, and was immediately felled to the ground and lay insensible for some time. When I recovered, I found my­ self pinioned, while all around me was desolation. Our late home was a mass of charred and smoking ruins; and oh! horror of horrors, a pile of heads of men, women and children were lying close by me ! The savages were hunting about for more victims. .Many of them were drunk and covered with blood; and every new and then an agonizing 6cream and an exultant laugh would proclaim that some wretch had been but too suc­ cessful in his search, and that another IKwr coolie had been discovered and sac­ rificed. This dreadful scene lasted fully two hours, when the Nagas seemed satisfied that there vero no more victims alive, and gathered together round where I lay, and apparently discussed what my fate was to be. Some were evidently clamorous for my lu ad; others--and among them I fancied were some who bad been in the habit of visiting us-- were more humanely inclined, and at olie tim« I thought it would end in n fight Itetween the two factions. But another and stronger party, headed by a ch ef whom I recognized as one to whom my husband had shown much kindness, and whose child had been nursed by me through a dangerous il l- ness, at once decided my fate by order­ ing a streteher to l>e prepared, on which I was placed and carried by two nu>n along the jungle path leading to l-'ie mountains. My head was fearfully swollen from the blow I had revived ; I suffered tortures from racking pains ill the luad, and also from cold, for I •was but partially dressed, and the weather in Assam, especially in the hilly districts, is bitterly cold from November until the middle of February. As if my other mist-ries were not enough, I was almost eaten alive by mosquito**, and every now and then horrid tjee leeches would fall down upon me as we brushed through the jungle, immediately factor on me and suck away till from repletion they fell off. We moved at a rapid rate all the remainder of that night and till noon next day, when we halted for an hour by a stieam, and where I must have again beoome insensible, for I re­ member nothing further till the starry sky above proclaimed night once more*; but still our party hurried on, nor did we halt till close of daybreak. As we wound around the hill, up a «teep path, leading to a fortified village, the savages began to yell forth a chant; many of them danced and capered, while the women coo-cooed and clapped their hands, bowing their heads to the ground as we passed by; and amidst the yelling of men, women and children, the beating of tom-toms, gongs and in­ struments resembling those called chol­ era horns in India, we entered the stock­ ade by a narrow doorway. The stock­ ade itself was nearly a square, each face about 175 yards long. On three «des there were houses, built in lon<.' lines, and well raised off the ground, and the fourth side, the only one appar­ ently approachable by an enemy, was strongly forti led, and itlie space in front pangied. Pangies are bamboo spikes, hardened, sharpened and jagged, driven m£o the ground for some distance rouTV' every stockade, and covered over with fallen leaves. Often they are poisoned. Th*\v 'ill tbroush the t<>ngh<}st sole, and orce in the foot cannot be extracted : and if poisoned death follows in an hour or two. Hence they are greatly dread­ ed. Several gingalls were placed, and rude towers flanked the position, on which were oollected huge stones, or rather rocks, ready to hurl down upon an invading foe. In the center of the stock-vie was a long pole, and arranged round it were human heads, beside those of gayals, buffaloes and deer; while tied tightly down to five pegs were as many gayals, which were forthwith slain. Copious draughts of an intoxicating drink made of fermented rice were drunk. The women then formed in a ring, and danced round the pole to a slow measure, twice or thrice; then leaned down, with their heads bowed to the ground, while amidst a perfect fury of tom-toms and gongs the ceremony of flaying the slain cattle commenced. And after another march round the pole and a general chorus, a chief stepped to the froat and made an oration, which was greatly applauded. The women danced round hand in hand, and, opening out into two parties, allowed the men with the gayals' heads to enter, and closed up the 6pace behind them. The five heads were placed equidistant from one another and from the ]>ole; both men and women stepped over them with a mincing gait, clapping their hands and keeping time to the rude music ; salaaming at the same time to the human heads. They did this twice; then joining hands, men in the inner ring and women in the outer, dancod round furiously, and suddenly broke off into small parties ; and while the warriors, weary from their long and hurried journey, retired to rest, the women and those who had not joined in the foray cut up the gayals and pre­ pared the evening feast. The foregoing, which is but a faint de­ scription of the frightful and disgusting scene, was not ov«r till past noon. I had been apparently forgotten while it lasted. I lay tied to the stretcher, with­ out the least shelter from the sun, a si­ lent and horrified spectator of this shocking spectacle. The sun had raised blisters over my face, neck and shoulders. J was taken to the chief's house and lib­ erated ; but, being unable to move, I was carried into a corner and there de­ posited, where I soon became uncon­ scious ; raging fever set in, and all I re- memltered for some time was incessant drumming, and night made hideous with debauchery and diabolical rites and noises; but whether it was really so I cannot state positively, for I was light-headed many days; and when I recovered sufficiently to notice occur­ rences I had lost all reckoning, an^dknew neither the date of the monthTnoiFihe day of the week, nor the duration of mv illness. All this time I had never heard a Vord of my husband. I knew his indom­ itable character, and was sure he would not be satisfied with mere rumors or surmises, but would search for me till he ascertained beyond doubt whether I was dead or alive, and would rescue me or die in the attempt. I had now learned some of the Naga langpage, but did not let any of them know of my knowledge ; and now and then I was cheered by hear­ ing them say a force was advancing into the hills; but, alas! my exultation was short-lived, for the commandant, who was a very inefficient officer, al­ lowed himself to be surprised and beaten back with severe loss ; and, sad to say, among the heads brought in by the sav­ ages I recognized one as that of poor young S , who had but lately joined the regiment, and who had l>ecii our guest but nine months before. On another occasion I recognized two brothers, tea- planters, who had lived about twenty miles from us, and who, it appears, had made a desperate resistance before be­ ing overpowered by numbers, and slain. Whenever the raiders returned, how my heart sank with dread, for I feared to find among their ghastly trophic the head of my dear husband. I think the Nagas looked upon me as a harmless idiot, for they allowed me to wander about the stockade without hin­ drance ; and I learned that, though ap­ parently impregnable on three faces, yet a secret passage existed in the north face, by which they could retreat in case of need. My heart was aching to reach my husband, especially when I learned he was so near ; so I determined to escape. I did not now refuse the i6od set apart for me, but for a week or ten days husbanded my strength, and ate and drank all they offered me. Buoyed up on hope, my'health greatly improved and my strength came back rapidly. My own scanty clothes had worn off my back long ago, and I was now dressed like a Naga woman, with only a shirt and petticoat: I had neither shoes nor stockings, yet I made up my mind to try to escape directly the nights were sufficiently dark for that pur peso ; and I was further assisted by another orgie of the savages, who had again sur­ prised a post and brought homo more heads, and had another heavy drink and debauch. While the deviltry was at its height, commending myself to an all-powerful lluler, I stepped into the secret oassa^e aud fled, not only for ray lite, but for dear liberty, home and husband. I knew enough of Capt. B 's character to be sure that, if I succeeded in reach­ ing his camp, and he learned the secret of the passage by which I had escaped, he would be anxious to surprise the ene­ my's stronghold. I w^s doubtful wheth­ er my strength would enable me to reach his ortposts, but I was sure I never coukl guide the troops .back, even if I had the courage to return to such a de­ testable spot. So I took a bundle of cotton with me, and left a little here and there from the end of the secret passage to the main pathway, which led down the ghaut. ̂ Although the night was pitchy dark* I had no diffi -ultv, once I was out of the se. ret passage, in finding the path down to the plains, and the distance between it and the stockade was barely a quarter of a mile. Where the path diverged I 6tuck a forked stick with a good handful of cotton in it, and joint­ ing toward the direction to be taken. I knew wild beasts abounded in these jungles, but so joyous was I at the idea u i-ei ajje i gave im-in no liteu, but bur­ ied down as fast as my unprotected feet would carry me. I had anticipated a ,-ood five hours' march; but imagine my delight when I was challenged by a Ooorklia of the Third Light Infant rv (now the Forty-fourth Light Infantry) before I had been two hours on the journey. I could have hugged the ugly but brave little soldier ; but as I w,as, to all intents and purposes, a Shiga in dress and dirt, he would not allow me to pass his post, and I was at a loss what to do, and all but crying, when I heard my own husband's voice asking what the row was alxmt! Kegardless of the sen­ try. I rushed forward, and, crying "Oh, all but penniless ; and if he oould ren­ der Government some important service he might get employment. So, for his dear sake, I instautly consented; and in a marvelouely short time B---- was in our hut. I told him of the revelry in the enemy's camp, of the secret passage, and the means I had adopted of pointing out the route to it, and also of all the horrors I had witnessed. My transient strength had alteadv been overtaxed. I was dead-beat, and my husband per­ suaded me to lie down, und in a few mo­ ments I was fast asleep, the first really refreshing and h%pr sleep I had had during the p;ist six months. No sooner was I asleep than my hus­ band offered to lead the stormers--they were short of oflioers owing to sickness and casualties--and Capt. B- decided to capture the enemy s post by a ooup de main, and within half an hour 150 Goorkhas under Willie, with a reserve of another 150 under Capt B : him­ self, were en route. They found the fork stick as I had described ; and the cotton scattered about led tliem di- jvet ti. the secret passage, and they were inside the stockade before a single Naga suspected the presence of an enomv. The tro<^|i entered just, befoie day break, when the savages were in their most pro found sleep, aud but few escaped vho FACTS FOR TBE CURIOUS.

The army of the Revolutibn was mpde up of qne battalion and three companies of artillery ; three legions, three regi­ ments and one separate troop of cavalry, aud infantry as follows: Three regi­ ments and two separate companies from New Hampshire ; filteen regiments from Massachusetts; two legiments from Rhode Island; eight regiments from Connecticut; five regiments from New York ; eleven regiments and three com­ panies from Pennsylvania; one regi­ ment from Delaware; seven regiments from Maryland ; eleven regiments from Virginia ; three regiments from North Carolina; one regiment from South Carolina ; two (so-called) Canada regi­ ments ; one German regiment; ono inde­ pendent corps; •• Warner's" regiment; four regiments made up of some consoli­ dated regiments ; one battalion of odds and ends, and one invalid regiment, ninety-one organizations in all; staff officers not known in re giments ; Quar­ termasters and Commissaries must have been either civilians or regimental offi­ cers. The Engineer Corps was officered almost entirely by foreigners. Koscius­ ko was appointed Colonel of Engineers in 1776. In 1784 the army was reor­ ganized, with Gen. Knox as Major Gen­ eral, Baron De Steulxsn, Inspector Gen- j eral, with rank of Major General; Tim­ othy Pickering, Quartermaster General, with rank of Colunel; John Pierce was Paymaster General, and Samuel Hodg- den, Commissary of Miiitiry Stores. Only two regiments were organiz ed at that time of infantry ; ono was called the First American llegime?it of Infantry, and made up of Massachusetts and New Hampshire troops, and the other the First United States Infantry (which is now the Third Infantry). No inerease in the army was made until 1803, when Gen. Wilkinson, as Brigadier General, came to the head ; there were then one regiment of artillerists, one regiment of light artillery, one regiment of light dragoons, seven regitients of infantry, and one regiment of ridemen. nateiy on the single front wheel.

A COUNTERPART Of Dickens' Miss Havishapi. in " Great Expectations," lived a few years ago at Louisville, Ky. She was a rich woman of 70 years, liv­ ing all alone in a darkened house, which she never left, except a few times to attend church, and then was closely veiled and muffled She never al­ lowed an article of furniture to be moved, and lived in constant dread of fire, fearisg the publioity that would result from it. THE mica mines of North Carolina have been worked only ten years, but shafts, cuts and debris of sup}>osed pre­ historic mining have been discovered, and there is some debate as to whether these early workmen were tAe mound- builders or Europeans. The Cherokee Indians have a tradition that white men worked these mines long ago, carrying away the white metal mined during the summer on mules. An ax, wedge and other wrought-iron tools lately found are also thought to confirm the notion that Europeans opened the mines. BYRON, throughout his life, had a pro­ found repugnance to being bled. When he was on his death-bed liis physicians proposed phlebotomy, but Byron refused to allow it, combating the quackeries of tlis medical advisers with the logic of common sense and experience. But at last, worn out by the persistent imjor- tuuities of the doctors, he extended his arm and angrily exclaimed: "There, you butchers, since you will have it, take as much blood as* you like, and have done with it" Repeated bleeding hastened his death. THE real name of Voltaire, the French Sliilosopher and poet, was Francois [arie Arouet The assuming of the name Voltaire was long a puzzle to his biographers, but within a few years it has been discovered to be simply an anagram, or transposition of A rvnct, I. j. ; the letters I. j. standing for lejeunc, or junior.

' It is a good thing for a preacher to "stick to liis text." But if he is tied to it, it may run away with him, especially if it. goes on all fours. An exchange tells this droll story of a clergyman's experi­ ment, and how it ended: Some years ago there lived in Central New York a very worthy but eccentric divine known as Father Goss. He had h hired man named Isaac, who always obeyed orders without question. Father Goss bought a cow one day which proved refractory when milked, refusing to surrender the lacteal fluid, although Isaac used all the persuasive arts of which he was master. He fiually reported her delinquencies to his mas­ ter. "Well, Isaac," said he, "go to the barn aud get those pieces of new rope." Isaac obeyed ; the cow was driven to the stable, tied with a piece of rope, when the Rev. came out armed with a knife. "Now," he explained to Isaac, "I will get on the oow's back, and you tie my feet beneath her, then you go on with your milking, and, with my weight upon lie.-, she must give down her milk.' Isaac obeyed. The feet were tied, the pail got and milking commenced. But bossy objected, and plunged wildly about. ' The stable was low and the Rev.'s head was fearfully thumped. " O Isaac ! Isaac !" bawled he, " cut the rope." Isaac seized the knife and cut, not the rope which tied the master's feet, bnt the out, that tied the cow. The stable door was open, also the yard gate. Away darted the frantic cow, the ter­ rified man on her back, helplessly roar­ ing, "Stop her, stop her I " While madly careering down the road he met a parisioner who excitedly called, " Whj% Mr. Goes, where are you go- "Only God and this cow knows," groaned he; "I don't" The animal was finally caught, and the man released, much frightened but unhurt Phases of Washington Society.

A Paris correspond nt gives this ac­ count of a pretty game of cards now fashionable in that city: "The participants were young ladies and gentlemen who sat in equal numbers on either side of the table. The cards were dealt out to each, and one hand, like as in euchre, settled each wager. The wager played for in this game is that the lady or gentleman who gets the ace of hearts and cau take a trick with it, or beat it with another card, has the option to kiss any lady or gentleman he or she may select If a lady is the w inner of the successful trick, this option may be used or not, as she elects and generally she does waive her right; but if a gen- tlemau holds the lucky card, of course ho invariably exercises his right The result was that a gentleman when he held the ace of hearts was sura to get it passed; if a lady held it she almost always had it taken. It was quite a study to watch with what perfect uang froid the gentlemen stood up to receive the stake he had won, and with what consummate grace the lady bent her hoad to one side so that her lucky opponent across the table Should receive hie fall pou»d of flesh, not to mention the utter indifference of both to the presence of friends or strangers sitting around. I do not know how the players felt, but Hie watching of a few hands played was sufficient to sat­ isfy me that it was but a poor game after all. How it came about I don't know, but I saw oae gentleman win six games in rapid succession and kiss the same lady as many times. That destroyed all interest I had up to that time taken in the game. It satisfied me that it was a game in which the cards oould be so manipulated that a poor player or a beginner could have very little cliauoe. It made me feel indeed that I would yet prefer a hand at euchre for the drinks. A Cross Baby.

Many conjectures have been hazarded as to how the very inappropriate name of "turkey" has been applied to a bird which we know was introduced from America. I believe the truth of the matter to be this : Several, if not most, of the medieval zoologists--I may par­ ticularly cite Belon and Aldrovandus-- hopelessly confounded the turkey aud the gumea-fowl under the name, proper to the latter, of Meleagris. Gesner mfist, indeed, lie excepted, for he clearly saw that the turkey was not the Meleagris, and, finding it had been written of as Gallus peivgrinus or Pavo Indicus, he accordingly (in 1555) coined for it the nameB Gallopavus or Pavogallus, which he used almost indiscriminately. But this confusion was not confined to natu­ ralists. We have in Cooper's edition of the "Bibliotheca Eliotae," published in 1542, " Meleagrides, byrdes which we d>>o call heiines"--the earliest use of the latter name with which I am acquainted. It is, therefore, obvious that "Turkey hen," was at flist synonymous with "Guinea lien." A# the birds became commoner and better known, the con­ fusion was, of course, gradually cleared up, and the name "turkey"olove to the bird front the new world ; not, I think, without some reason, for by its con­ stantly repeated call-note, which may be syllabled " turk, turk; turk," it may be said to hare named itself.--Notes and QHcries.
