We noticed that few of 'the men Were Seminoles. Indians there were, but these were of dark complexionâ€"nearly black, They were of the tribe of Yamassesâ€" a race enslaved by the Seminsles, and long ingrafted into their na- tion. But most of those we saw were black ncgroes, zamboes and mulattoesâ€"descendants of Spanish maroons, or ‘runaways’ American plantations. There were many of the latter, for I could hear English spoken among them. $0 doubt, there were some of my 'pwn slaves mixing with the motley crew, though none of these came near, and I could only note the faces of those who stood over me. In about half an hour the dig- gers had finished their Work,â€" Dur stakes were now drawn, and We were dragged ,ftll‘Wlll‘tl to the gpot where they had been engaged. As soon as I was raised up, I bent my eyes upon the camp, but my sister was no longer there. Viola too Was gone.

Two dark holes yawned before us, deeply dug into the earth.â€" They were not grayes; or if so, it was intended cor bodies should be placed vertically in them. But if their shape Was peculiar, so too was the purpose for Which they were made. It was soon explained. We were conducted to the ,edge of the cavities, seized by the shoulders, and plunged jn, each into means that was near- est. They proved just deep enough to bring our throats on a loyal with the surface, as we stood erect. The loose earth was now slioy. clled in, and kneaded firmly around us.

He comes! he comes!’ As she ceased speaking, the hoof-strokes of a horse, echoed through the glade, and a hundred voices simultaneously raised the shout: ; “Oceola! Oceola!’ That cry ,was grateful to my ears. Though already rescued, I had begun to fear it might prove only a short reprieve. Our de- livery from death, was still far from certain ; our advocates were but weak women; the mulatto king, backed by his ferocious fol- lowers, would scarcely have yielded to their “demands. . Alike disre- garded would. have been their threats and entreaties. The fires would have been rekindled, and the execution carried on to its end. In all probability, this would have been the event, had not Oceola in good time arrived upon the ground. . His appearance, and the sound of his voice, at once reassured me. Under his protection, we had nothing more to fear, and a soft voice whispered in my ear that he came as our. deliverer. His errand was soon made me.- nifest. He drew bridle, and halted near the middle of the camp, directly in front of us.

Both of us were quickly ‘un- carthed ;’ and, with free limbs,stood once more upon open ground. “ My first tliough;s were to rush towards my sister, when, to my surprise, I was restrained by the chief.

Iheard him address her by name, and pronounce some phrase of congra- tulation. He appeared about to dismount, with the design of ap- proaching her on foot, while his men, still upon horseback, were galloping through the camp, huzzan ing fiercely. and firing their'pistols in "the air.

I had not the slightest idea of the chief’s intention, or what was the nature of the spectacle I had been promised. Somewhat impatient, I questioned him. ' ‘ A new way of winning a mis- tress,’ said he with a smile. ‘But who is the lover’l who to be the mistress ?’ ‘Patience, Randolph, and you shallsee.
