CockereWa Benl is a well known rendezvous tor the hunter and fisher of the Tallapoosa; and a beautiful place it is. The upper end of the curv-3 is lake-like in its stillness, and is very deep; while a half mile below, the river spreads itself to double its usual w idlh and .brawls among rocks and isleta fnngeJ with toll rivur grass. The part above is resorted to by those who fish with the rod, and that below by seiners. Opposite the (Jeep water, the hills come towering down to within twenty yards of the river, the narrow intervening strip being low lan I, covered with a tremendous growth of gum, poplar, find white oak. Lnle inj the sfturnoon of a warm .May day, thia par: of the bend is a most de.ilitfui pot. The hula mountains on the south' and west, exclude the suu-irlare completely, a id the mere comfort-seeker may lay himself rlat in the bottom of the-old Indian ennoo he finds moored there by :i tirap-i-vine, and float a:ii look at the cods, and dream as I have often done with no living thing in sight t idistuib his meditations, except the musk-rat on the end of the old projecting log, and the matronly summer duck with her brood of tiny ducklings, swimming, close huddled, in the shade of the huge water-oak, whoso over hangintr limbs are covered with a close net work of muscadine vines whereof, (or the vines I menu.) 1 have a story of my friend Captain Stggs, which will be related at the proper time. Take care you little downy rascals! especially you, little fellow, with half an egg shell stuck to your back! true, there 2re not many or large trout in the Tallapoosa; but there are some; and occasionally one is found of mouth sufficient to engorge a young duck! and a'mosl always in a cool quiet shade just like hist! snap! there you go, precisely a3 1 told you! Now, old lady, quit that fussing and Haltering, nnd take the "young 'una" out of the way of that other one that isn't far off! Trituration in a trout's maw must be unpleasant, one would think! It chanced once, that the writer encamped for a day or two on the narrow strip ppoken of, with a company of unsophistic jI dweiler3 of the rough lands in that region, of whom the principal personage was "Daddy Elias Digs," sometimes called Daddy T aAS.' but more commonly 'Daddy Biggs.'' We were on a fishing expedition, an J at night hung a short line or two from the branches of the trees which overhung the water, for 'cat.' One night, as we had just done this, ani were gathered around the fire, a gallon jug paseing from hand to hand, 'Daddy lggs' who wag a short, squab man, rosy-cheeks, bald, and inc!in ng to three score letnarked, as he extended his hand towards a long gaunt fellow, with a very long nose, and a very black beard Boys, ain't you never hern what a h U of a scrape I had here, at this very fpot, last year? Billy Teal, let me have a suck at that yeartlien-vvare, and I'll tell you all about it. The old man took a "suck," amacked his lips, and began his relation: Yoxj 'member the time, boys, when thtra Chatohospt felloes csma here a

ihshin' D n 'em, I wish they could fish

about home, w ithout goin' twenty miles to interrupt other people's range! well, ! they camped right bore, and right hcre THLY se;:d the jkvil: Seed tiie Devii!' exclaimed Billy Teal.' 'Did they, in right down airnest now?' asked Jm Waters, looking around at the dark woods, and insinuating himself between Abe Ludlow and the fire, in evident fright. They seed the Devil,' repeated Daddy Biggs with emphasis 'and ketched him tuu!' he added bul they couldn't hold him.' Good Gracious!' said Jim Waters, looking around aain 'do you think he stays about here?" and Jim got nearer to the fire. lie stays about here some,' replied Dad dv B 'But Jim. son, get oil' the fire! you'll set your over-hauls otire! and gel me the sperels. I'll biios the jug agm, aud tell vou all about it.' Bill Teal had deposited the jug behind a log some ten feet otf; but Jim Waters was not the lad to back out if the D&vil icas about; so he made two desperate strides and grabbed the 'yeathen-war,' and then made two more which brought him, head first, jug and all, into the fire. Chunks and sparks flsw every where, as he ploughed through! lie's got you, Jim!' shouted Abe. Pull the boy out!' exclaimed Bill and myself, in one breath, 'or he'll burn up!' Someon ye, save the jug'1 screamed DadJy Biggs, who was standing horror stricken at the idea of being left without liquor, in the woods. In a minute both hoy and jug were rescued; the former with burnt face and hands, and singed hair the latter entirely uninjured. Weli. well,' chuckled Daddy Biggs, 'we come outen that first rate the jug ain't hurt, nor no liquor spilt. But Jim. I'm realy 'stonished at i u! pitehen in the fire that way, and you a knowin' that was every drop o' sperets we had!' 'Oh, but Daddy 'Lias, interposed Dick M'Coy, you must look over that he seed the Devi!!' Well, we'f, that 'minds me I was gwine to tell you all about that h 11 of a scrape I had wi' them Chatohospa fellows, last summer so I'll squeeze the jug one time more, and tell you all about it.' Throwing his head into r-n admirable position for taking a view of things heavenly, Diidy Biggs inserted the mouth of the jug in his own mouth, when for a short spaco there was a sound which might be s pel! oil, 'higgle u?gle higgle lulluggtc;' and then Daddy Biggs set the jug d iwn by him, and began his story once more. Well, boys, they was camped right here, and had sot out their hooks for cat fish. jist a we've done to night. Right t:iar, this eide o' where Hill's line hangs, some on 'em had tied most a d v 1 1 H a hook, from that big limb as goci strait out thar. He must a' had a kunnoo to fasten it whar he did, ehe cooned it on the top o' the limb. Well, it's allers swimmiri' under that limb, but there's a big rock in the shape of a sugar loaf, comes up in 6ix inches o' the top. Right round that was whar Vd ketched the monslousest, most oudaciousest Appeloosat cat, the week before, that ever come ;ii:en the Tallapoosy; an 1 they'd beam of it, and th fellow with the b:g hook was a iishin for hit's mate. D n it boys, it makes me mad to think how them Chatohospa fellows an. the town folks do 'tru le on the roover people and when I'm aggravated 1 allers drinks, so here goes am.' Daddy Riijgs threw back his head again again put the jug's mouth in his own and again produced the sound of 'guggie-U'Ie-lu-K'T'dt !' and then resumed: 4 This bur-hook fe low I waatellm about, his name were Ji:S3 Colk, which lives in the bottom, thar whar Chatohospa falls into the Iloota Locko; and ain't got more'n half sense at that.' That's the fellow used to strike for Vixce KiRKLAND.in the blacksmith's shop, at Dood's, afore Vineo died ain't it?' n?ked Hill Teal. That's him,' said Daddy Biggs, 'and that's how I come to know him, for I seed him thar once, tho' I can't eay he knowed me. Well, he waked up in the night, and beared a most a h 1 of a sloshin' at the end of his line, and says he. Rise boys! I've got him! Durn my skin if 1 hain't!' And sure enough there was somethin' a flouncin' and sioshin, and makin a devil of a conboberation at the end of 'he line. Jess he sprung up and rot a lonf stick with a hook at one eend. and retched out and cotciit tho line and tried to pull it in; but the thing on the book give a flirt, and the stick bein' a hetie too short, which made him stoop forward, in he fell! He scuttled out tho' tolioble quick, and ses he, -boys, he's a whaler cuss my etarnal buttons if fie aint the rise of tixtv pounds! Old Bigis may goto h 1 now with his forty pound cats he can t same no way! W hen I heered that boys, 1 When y-u heer l it?' exclaimed all. Yes mcV said Biggs laughingly, didn't I tell you that before7 Well, I oughter done it, but forgot. D n it. we'll take a drink on that, any way?' and so he did. Si 'twas you instid o' the Devil, he cotched,' observed Jim Waters, apparently much relieved by the disclosuro. Jnt so; and the way it was, I seed the rascals as they were comin' here, and knowed what they were arter. So when night comes I slipt down the roover bank mighty oey and nice, twell I rould see the camp-fire. But thar wa a dog along, and I was afraid to ventnr up that wav. See 1 wa3 arter stealiu' their rish, they'd cotched through the day, which f'knowM in resson they'd

Fact boys, I was hitched to swingin limb, and no mistake. Once or twice I got on the top o' the sugar-loaf rock, and je-e s about the time I'd go to untie the d d rope of a line, the blasted rock was so slippery, off I'd slaanch! Fact boys! And it aggrawated me smartly so it did!

'Soon as Jessy said that about his cat 'bein biggr'n mine I said in my mind, I'll whip you certain!' Weil, they all kept a most a h 1 of a hollerin', and every now and the,i, some on 'tin would throw a long log o' wood as they had cut for fire, as nigh atft as they could guess, to stunt the cat, voC see; but the branches of the tree favored ie mightly in keepin' 'em off tho' they'd' slr pretty close by me 'casionally, ca-j"1 striken eendfi remoat, you see.

Thinks I, you'll id it one o' the snajjpia' sort I judge. TC'" anoh-(.-r one ses, -thar's a way to try ij.t, Jess, ef you see him; and he hand Jes ;a gig. ' No w,' say he, 'gig him!'

Sure enough tho, 1 warn't, but only busted loo from the lire. B jlh on us put f- We'6nn quick. Dm On account of my gettm holt ol the gig, which rather bothered me, Jess got aihore fust. I wan right arter him tiio', I tell you, with the gi.' When I clum up the bank, I found the rest was all kleen gone, and thar lay Jess, which had slumpped his toe agin' somethin', right flat of his face, a mo3iiin' dreadfully! 'Oh, I'v got you now Jess,' ses I. 'Ficase Devil!' ses Jess. .Must take you along wi' me,' ses I, in the d est most onyeathly voice you ever beer 1. The Imgs I took warn't marked,' aes Jess, fi-shiverin all ovt-r. Thev warn't ynum,' ses I. 'I'll never do so any mhks,' ses Jes?,! shiveriu' wuss anJ wuss, 'ef you il let me off this time.' Can't do it, Jrss! want you down in Tophet, t) strike for Vince Kirkiand. I've got him thar, a black. srnithin of it. He dos all my odd jobs, pinetin' my tail and such like! Can't let you off Fie come a purpose for you!1 I seed the poor devil thudder when I called Vince name, but he didn't say no more, eo I jobs the gig ihro' the hind part of his overhauls and starts down to the kunnoo Ian din' with him, in a pen trot. The way he scracfied up the dirt as he travelled backwards on his all-fours, was a perfect sight! But just as I struck the roover, he got hold of 3 grub, and the gig tore -out, and he started 'tother icevj! I never seed runiu' tell then ' taint no use to try to tell you how fast he did run; I couldn't do it in a week. A 'scared wolf warn't notiiin' to him. lie run faster'n six scared wolves and a yearliu' der. Soon as he got a start I ma le for a log whar I seed their guns, and behind that 1 i 1 1 1 1 a the b;g powder gourd thev all kept their powder in, that they warn't a usin.' Thinks I, ef you aint all kleen gone, I'll finish the j.jb for you; and then jumped in the roover myself. I hadn't more'n got properly in before it blowed up. Sich a blaze I never seed before. The n'ise was some itself, but die blaze covered all creation, and retched higher than the trees. It spread out ;o the logs whar the gungs was, and fired them off! Fop! pop! pop! xo wonder them Chatohospa fellows never come back! Satan, hisself. couldn't a done it no better, ef he had been there, in the way of racket and n'ise!' D.iddy Biggs now took a long breath, and a longer drink. 'Boys,' he continued, 'I go'them fellers' fish and a two-gallon jug o'sperrets, and I throwed their guns in the roover, besides given' 'em the ailgortiest scare they ever had; and they aint been back since, which I hope they never will, for its edacious the way the roover f.dks is 'posed upon. And now, boys, tha's my 'scrape;' so less take another drink, look fit the (hooks, and then lay down!'

Judge Reed, of the Supreme Court of Ohio, recently delivered an opinion in the case of a runaway slave, in favor of the rights of the masier. The negro was deliverd up to his owner according to the decision of ibe Judge, and the Cincinnati Reformer, a rabid abolition print, thus announces the fact: Judore Reed has 'remanded back to slavery' the man whom the laws of Ohio had freed.
