very action it was evident the inmost chords of her heart gave out their altered tone. It has been wisely said, that love is more nearly akin o hate than to liking. What passed in Edward's bosom was a proof of this. Henceforth it seemed his sole enjoyment to give pain to The woman he passionately loved; and now, in the bitterness of his heart, held guilty of all his sufferings. Whenever occasion presented it 3elf, he sought to humble and to embarrass her. '.o sting her by disdainful pride, or to ov erwhelm

hep with cuttins reproaches, till conscious of

- a ' her secret crime, shame and anguish overpow ered the wretched girl, and she burst iato tor rents of tears, which alme had power to allay the scorching fever of his heart. But no kindy reconciliation followed these scenes: and, as with lovers, resolved the dissonance into bless ad harmony. The exasperation of each was oa lv heightened to desperation; and whtui he at length saw enkindled in Gomez so little capable of concealment the same tire which buret in the eyes of Anna; when he thought he saw his sister negiccted, and himself betrayed by a serpent wham he had cherished in his bosom-

the first time met in secret. According to the subsequent confession of Edward, he had concealed himself behind a pillar, and had seen Gomez wrapped in his mantle, glide with hur

house of Anna1! father, which led immediately to her apartments. At the horrible certainty

which now glared upon him, the fury of bell took possession of his soul: his eyes started from

their sockets, the Wood rushed and throbbed as

if it would burst his veins, and as a roan dying of thirst pants for a draught of cooling water, so

did his whole being pant for the mood ol his n

ral. Like an infuriate tiger, he darted upon

the unhappy youth, who recognized him, and Vainly fled. Edward instantly overtook hitn, seized him, and burying his daggei a hundred

times, with strokes like lightning flashes, rn the quivering body, gashed with satanic rage the beautiful features which had robbed bim of bis beloved, and of peace. It was not till the moon broke forth from behind a dark cloud, and sud

denly lighted the ghastly spectacle before hitn; the disfigured mass which retained scarcely a

feature of his once beloved friend the streamt

of blood which bathed the body and all the earth around it, that he waked, with horror, as from some infernal dream. But ihe deed was done, and judgment was at hand. Led by the instinct of self preservation, he fled like Cain, into the

nearest wood. How Ions he wandered Iheie,

he could not recollect. Fear, love, repentance, despair, and at last madnesss, pursued him like frightful companions, and at length robbed him ol consciousness for a time annihilating the terrors of the past in forgetfulness; for kind na

Indian News. By the arrival, yesterday, of the steamboat Caroline, we learn that the

militia have had Bevcial skiimishea with the

Indians. Capt. Sit) dor of St. Clair county, Illinois, has politely favored us with the following particulars. On tbe night of the 15th inst. while the scouting party, consisting of 42 men, of which Capt, Snyder was in command, were encamped at Kellogg's Grove, about SO miles; south-east from Galena, a sentinel was fired on by tbe Indians, who with the other sent, nels on duty, left their posts, and the whole party laj upon their arms the remainder of the night. In the morning the company got' upon the trail of the Indiai.s, (who had stolen

one of their horses,) and pursued them seve.

rnl miles, when it was discovered, that, expecting pursuit, they had dispersed for con

eealment ; four of the Indians were, however,

lea to aoanaon, together with the horse taken. In their flight, the Indians lock a circuitous roote, which for some time confused

the whites, who, however, soon discovered

that they had taken the back trail, and re

newed the pursuit, emd after a brisk march

of 10 miles, overtook and killed all four of them, and notwithstanding their small num

ber, they (ought with desperation. Captain Snyder had one man, VV m. B. Mecosnson, mortally wounded, for whom a litter was made, and the company continued on their march. When they arrived within about 4 stiles of Kellogg's grove, five men belonging; to the company, entered a ravine, a short distance from the main body, in search of water, who were immediately fired on by a bout 40 Indians, md two of them killed and one wounded slightly. The Indians then directed their fire upon the main body of the company which was at the time in soma disorder. The company however retreated about 80 yards, rallied and retarnf d a brisk fire, which in turn forced the Indians ts rc treat into the thiekgweods. Several Indians are said to have been killed, one certain. At the commencement of the attack, a chief, mounted upon a fine white horse, was sees in front of tbe Indians, encouraging and exciting them on to tight; shortly after, the

horse was seen without the rider, who it is presumed was also killed, as he frequently approached very near the whites. The names of the men killed, are Benjamin Scott and Benjamin M Daniel. Wonnd-
