Book rights reserved.] EXAN valor won tbe battle of San Jacinto in two hours' tim?, gmd the? victory -yirtu a?ly gave i n tl e - pendence to the ?jone Star state.? Santa Anna start? ed on bis campaign for tbe conquest of Texas with the avowed policy of extermination, and in the coarse of events came the massacre at the Alamo March 6,1S36, and jjthe slaughter of CoL ?*. w- Fannin and 330 of hb men near Goliad March 27. These affairs led to the abandonment of the line of Sm Antonio river by the Texan troops. G>?.^ouston,Vh"o-, -after a lapse, bari been restored to the general command of the Texan army, ?ad previously"ordered this course, but his plans had l>een frustrated. When the news of Col. Tannin's surrender reached him, on. the 9th of March, he was on the east bank of the Colorado with a force of* about 60Q men. Santa Anna had begun his march from the San An? tonio eastward it? several columns, and in person led a column that crossed the Guadalupe at Gonzales and .proceeded eastward toward Houston's position. ';Another Mexican division was moving. Eastward- on the-sooth of Santa Anna's route, and another on the north. Houston retired l>eiore Santa Anna to the Brazos and then to the San Jacinto. His object ivas to divide the Mexicans and whip the columns in detail. Fortunately the north? ern Mexican column got bewildered in the forest, and ascended the Colorado instead . of crossing it to overrun eastern Texas. The southern column^ was delayed by high ^water and did not cross the ^Brazos. This "left-HotE'tOB but one army to cope with, but" that ot tnumbered him two to one Besides, the whole country in front of tlie 'Mexicans was in a state of alarm, and the inhabitants, fleeing ".eastward at the ap? proach of the invaders, terrified their fel? low citizens, aud menwhom Houston want? ed in his ranks to fight were engaged in piloting their families to places of safety. . Santa Anna crossed the Brazos at San Felipe on the 7th of April, and Houston on learning this ordered *d I Texan troops on that river to join him at Harrisburg, on the San Jacinto. Harrisburg bad become the seat of government of Texas, and Santa Anna marched upon it aud destroyed it be? fore Houston's arrival. From Harrisburg the Mexicans moved southward toward New. Washington, and had entered a re gion where at that season cf the ycz.t there was but one practicable route to move an army. In other words, Santa Anna must press onward---across the San Jacinto to "eastern Texas, or return and meet Houston, who weis behind him,and between him and the Brazos and his supporting columns, i Qu the 19th of April Houston left Harris -borg, intending by a rapid march to reach Lynch's ferry atibe mouth of the San Ja? cinto ahead of Santa Anna, and there give battle He had pick?d up re-eu forcements that swelled his army to SOO men. and had also received two six-pouuders, called the "Twin Sisters," that had been sent by some friendly people, of Cincinnati to aid the Texan cause. On the 20th Houston went into camp on the right bank of Buffalo bayou, one mile from the ferry, that Santa Anna was aim? ing to reach. : His- position was screened by a fringe of timber parallel to the l>auk of the bayou. Keconnoissances soon de? veloped the fact that the Mexican army lay eoej?mped l^yonitbB^iinVer^and was pre? paring to cross at the ferry. Some skir? mishing took place duri UK tbe latter part ^of>"t!be><diryy -JWKKat mghtr the Mexicans began to fortify. Their position was crit? ical in the extreiue, for a marsh extended along their right and rear, and the Texans could compel the&-to fight for a roadway should they attempt either to advance or tor return whence they came. Some of liouston's officers wished to ?nova to? the attack at once, but Houston was not ready. .*Totm*rrow,'* said he, "I wi li conquer, slaughter and put to flight the entire Mex? ican nrraj, and it shall not cost me a dozen of my brave men." ?Yetior all bis outward confidence the situation with bini was desperate in view of his numbers. Santa Anna had 1,800 well disciplined -veterans, while many of the .Texans were..-raw,.sokIiers, Houston had ia.beck toCthe impassable -bayou, anda disaster on either flank would leave him but one route of escape. At 'J o'clock on the 21st a smalfMexican force came into view on the main road and moved toward Santa Anna's camp. For fear that this nwtwpe^t^tgftt-^soontage* his -arten by giving the impression that re-enforcements '^ern;ebming.to the^neiny, Hous? ton spread the report among his followers that Santa Anna was cotniterniarehing". a bjody oljroops-in^ order., to^niagnify "bis "FIGHT FOI: VOLT. LIVES." forces. 'At. noon the Tpxnn colonels asked for a council of war, and it was granted immediately. The majority favored wait? ing in position for Santa Anna to attack, it was held that the Mexican position was weil fortified and defended by veterans, and that an attack upon it across open prairie with raw militia would beextremely hazardous. The feeling among the troops was favorable for at tack, and Houston took thc responsibility of ordering a battle at j once. An officer then proposed that a float- j fog bridge be constructed for use on the j bayou in case of disW r in the fight. On ' learning that Lhere A ?xe no materials at hand for t he purpose without tear:ng down a house, the general decided to ^'postpone" building thc bridge for awhile. "Houston's next act was to send a party to destroy the bridge across Vince's bayou, over which boih armies had marched to t he field. This left but ono way of escape for the van quished in the coming fi^ht-namely, the crossing cnt f rhi* San Jacinto nt Lynch's terry. When the order was given to de? stroy Vince's bridge the officer who was to execute it remarked, "This looks a good deal like fight, general." There was,.in fact, nothing left for either Ride to lip but to fight or l>e slaughtered. To u>e au expression coined during the civil war. lioth armies were "bottled np." Houston, however, had the ?hortest cut to the neck of the ix>ttle. The fringe of wood in front of the Texan camp enabled Hous? ton to form his line unobserved by the enemy. The center wa? composed of tho First regiment, Col. Burleson; the Second regiment, Coi. Sherman, formed the left; the right was composed of the artillery under Col. G. W. Hockley, four infantry companies nnder Lieut. Col. Millard and 61 mounted nu n led by Col, M. Ii. Lamar. It is like making burlesque of a muster to call that an army where the cavalry, artil? lery and in fan* ry combined number only 800, yet are commanded by a general in chief, assisted by 3 field officers. There wore 3 officers not included in the ros? ter-Lieut. Cols. Somerville and Bennett and Maj. Wells. Besides this array of fighting ofljcers there was au adjutant gen? eral, nu inspector general and a commis? sary general, and the Texan secretary of war accompanied Houston's headquarters. The LiCadqunrters of this well officered host were, by the way. extremely simple and ; characteristic. A pair of saddle wallets contained Houston's official papers and a change of linen. While the Texan in fan-: try was moving out_ from cover the puny cavalry column of 61 troopers rode out and engaged the Mexican horse to hold their attention. Houston ordered a grand charge, and just as the men were ready to spring forward a rider dashed down the line swinging an ax over his head and crying out that Vince** bridge had been destroyed. ' "Now fight for i your lives and remember the Alamo!" he shouted. The "Twin Sisters'' advanced to within 200 yards of the Mexican works and opened fire with grape and canister. The in? fantry followed at double quick, the battle cries, "RernembertheA/aino!" "Remember Goliadl" resounding al< ng the line. The enthusiasm and alertness of the Texan leader were shared by his followers, and these qualities, which are the highest essentials for soldiers, carried the day at San Jacinto. Santa Anna lay asleep under a tree, and many of his officers were in the same condition. The soldiers were either eating or sleeping or playing their favorite monte, and the whole camp was taken by surprise. The little cavalry column of Texans put the Mexican lancers to flight The First Texas regiment mounted Santa Anna's breastworks, composed of baggage, chests and camp equipage, and seized the Mexican guns before ?Le artillerymen had time to fixe a round. A few Mexicans showed fight, and Houston was wounded outside the works and his horse was hit two or three times. As soon as the. Texans passed over the Mexican works they clubbed their muskets and pistols, and after disabling them took to their bowie knives aud the weapons of . "TOU CAN AFFORD TO BK GENEROUS. N .the enemy. The fighting, if such it could be called, was all one sided, and in fifteen minutes from the time the column struck the breastworks the Mexicans were in a rout. The Texans pursued relentlessly and drove their enemies into the swamps beyond their camp, cutting down men and horses on the margin to make bridges that they might penetrate the morass and reach tlie hapless fugitives mired in the interior. Houston, painfully wounded, rode over the field on his staggering horse and at? tempted to stay the appalling carnage. But men's passions are not so volatile. One Texan was seen carrying two guns, 'and when asked why, be answered, "The Mexicans killed my son and son-in-law in the Alamo, and I intend to kill two of them or be killed myself." Two antagonists were seen to clinch on the field and struggle for a time, when the Texan got his right arm free and, whipping out a bowie knife, cut the Mexican's throat. The attempt to stay the hand of vengeance, once the work had been commenced, was like whistling down the wind. The aggre? gate of tho Texans engaged was 783, and 630 Mexicans paid the penalty of death, probably a man apiece for every Texan soldier who could get near enough to do execution. The wounded Mexicans num? bered 2GS, and 730 were made prisoners. The Texans lost 8 killed and 25 wounded. - The spoils of the field were a godsend to the Texans. They consisted of 1,400 arms of various kinds, camp l?tensils and equi? page, with a quantity of provisions and $12,000 in silver. The day after the battle Santa Anna was found hiding in the garb of a private sol? dier. On being brought to Houston, who wj- under an oak resting his wounded limb, he said, "General, you can afford to be generous. You are born to no common destiny; you have conquered the Napoleon of the west." After some parley Houston demanded that the dictator order his second in com? mand to evacuate Texas at once, and a dis? patch to that effect was sent to the several commanders of the Mexican columns that same evening, April 22. As the Mexican forces in Texas numbered between 5,000 and 6.U00 men, Houston's daring stroke at San Jacinto with a beggarly army of less than 800 militia was a masterpiece in its ' way. A treaty -vas made on the 14>h of May, three weeks after the battle, and recogni? tion by the powers followed natural!}*, and Texas took her place as an independent state. GEORGE L. KILMER.
