REMINISCENCES 1 OF PUBLIC MEN. BY EX GOVERNOR B. F. PERRT. [CONTINUED FROM LA8T WEEK.] SAM. HOUSTON. _ 1 1 was introduced to General 1 Houston, fttnnn nf Vrooiilnnf i a ?v va a i voiuviio X. VIA O | ' levcoe. 11 is colleague at that time in the Senate, was General Rusk, ? an old acquaintance of mine. We * were brought up in thy same Pis 1 trict, Pickens, though I believe he 1 was born in Newberry. Ilia lath- 1 cr was still living in Pickens, long 1 after the General beci&he distin- ' guislied. lie was a stone mason, 8 and very poor. General Houston 1 was a fino looking man, tall, well 1 proportioned, ana he prided him- 1 self very much on his personal ap- "T pearance. He affected great suav- 8 ity in mode, and always had some 8 thing ridiculous in his dress.? 6 When I saw him in Washington, he wore an extremely large brim- ^ ed hat, which attracted great no- ( tice, and was doubtless worn for 8 that purpose. The winter pieced- 8 ing, he had worn a huge, flashy 8 Mexican blanket. In one of my 1 letters from Washington, publish- 8 ed in the newspapers, I designated ^ him as 41 the great humbug."? 8 When I started t'ie Southern Pa 8 triot, a parcel of plates of distin- 1 guished nien were procured in ^ New York, and one was placed in 8 each number of the paper.? J Amongst thorn, there was ono o! ' General Sam. Houston. He was, 8 at that time, trying to have him- ( self brought forward as a candi- ^ date for the Presidency. lie wrote 1 me a long letter, and sent me in 1 advance, two or three years sub 1 script ion to the ^Patriot. Icon- 8 tinued to send him the paper till the Know Nothing movement 1 II sprung up. lie had hopes ot bo * | ?ng the Know Nothiyg candidate j lor President, and wfote uie a let' ' ter discontinuing his paper in w consequence of its opposition to ^ the 11 Ki.ow Nothing" movement. ' The life ot General liouston was, * in many respects, a most remark 1 able one. lie rendered gallant ' services in the Creek Indian war, * and was afterwards the pet of Gen- s oral Jackson. After serving several years in Congress, ho was ' elected Governor ot the State ot Tennessee. Whilst Governor, he ( was married the first time, and f soon afterwards separated fi oin his , wife, resigned his office as Govern- ? or, and went to reside with the \ Cherokee Indians. lie went clad ? as an Indian Chief, and took a wife amongst them. Then ho went to g lexas, and was the successful opin- ? mander of their forces in their ( separation from Mexico. He wa6 t elected President of the Republic , of Texas, and after the annexation , to the United States, he was elect- # .j - a A i ? - ? eu u oennior. w mist i'resident of j Texas, he married a young lad v in | Alabama, by whom he left a fatni- , ly. lie was Governor of the t State of Texas when the Southern \ States seceeded from the Federal j Union, and he did all he could to t stay the revolution and keep Tex t as in the Union. But after his c State seceeded, he cast his fortune j with her, and determined to share ? her destiny. lie did not long sur- c vivo, however. j General Houston was a great t man on the stump, and he spoke ] well. His style was declamatory, i and he generally carried the crowd (] with him. The Secession feeling c in Texas was very strong, and (j General Houston lost control of the [ State, in consequence of his Union t principles. I think, too, that the t Stato rather deposed him, or, at c least, treated with contempt his j, acts as Governor, and called a v Convention in ai.ito I.la ...J~ an a|/ibV f I 1J IO JZ\licit). fjj His namo ought to hodoar to Toxas, and tiis memory respected by her people. It does not occur to me, now, that there is a more re- ^ markahle battle on record, than ^ that of San Jacinto, in which Ileus- 11 ton destroyed tl e Mexican army, * with a handful of followers ; cap- ^ tnred their President, and gained 81 the Independence of the Republic. e; The disparity between the forces of the two armies was very g 'Oat in 11 f>oint of numbers. There was a e: arge number killed on t lie part of 111 the Mexicans, whilst the Texar.a ^ lost scarcely any. ^ ai WINFIKLD SCOTT. t| On being introduced to Goneral ti Scott, he enquired in what part of aj South Carolina I resided, and be- w ing told Greenville, he replied that In he once spent several months there, of I thought unpleasant reminisced- in ces were recalled to his mind. Be St tbretho warot 1812. General Scott vt came to Columbia, South Carolina, at and rnado application for admis- bt bion to the bar. IJis application in was rejected on the ground that ho lx fp tad not been two years a citizen of he State. lie then catne to Green rille with Chancellor Thompson, md spent soveral months with him. During that time, Scott and Col-1 >nel Toney were gambling, and when he left Greenville, he gave lis note to the Colonel for a con- I liderable sum of money, which, I jave heard, was paid after Scott md bo co me a BrigadierDeneral in the United Stuioc irtny. General Scott liad a most coin nanding and striking person, towjring above all others, well proportioned. and, in full uniform, J ooked the god of war. lie must jave been six leet six inches in might. I am six feet two and a jalf inches, and found it impious mt looking up to hiin, whilst staining and conversing. In 1852, I uet him again at President Fill- j nore's levee, and his height was emarkuhle in contrast with the lense mass of human beings wound him. lie was head and boulders above them all. It is well known that General iioolt was a native of Virginia, and luring the recent war, took sides igainst his native State and secion. This brought him into great r r? >dium with the Southern people. [ have no doubt the decision was i most painful one for General 5cott to nml'ft ho?u-o?n ?i.a ....t:.... _ ^vv?t WII l IIC ililllUII' il lift*? winch lie loved so dearly, tnd h u d borne 8 o gloriously hrough life, and bis old native Commonwealth which he loved ind honored as an honored son.? [t is well known that he was greaty troubled in making up his decidon, and for a long time it was loubtful which side lie would take. But he was under the influence of lational counsellors and advisers, md his judgment did not approve lie action of Virginia and theotli;r Southern States. General Scott was a man of great jcrsona! vanity and ambition. He nice said to Geneeal Waddy Lhompson, whilst they were staining in the Senate of the United j states, that lie would never die *atislied till he had made a speech n that chamber as United States senator, lhompson jestingly replied, "you might never he satis j ied afterwards, General." He was i man of great precision and ex ictnesa in conversation.
