BATTLE OF SAN JACINTO.
Aged Alahamian Recalls Some Interesting
History
As many ot our readeis have expressed
themselves as being to thoroughly
pleased with our write-up of the Texas
trip, and as we only made short ineutiou
or' "iSau Jacinto Day:' and the
occasion which it celebrates, the memorable
battle which gaioed for Texas htr
independence, we thought, perhaps, our
readers would l"ce to re id a more t'u'l
account of that famous batUe, we tbere'

by one of Houston's own men,

in the battle, and therefore knows
whereof lie speaks. It is interesting,
i ead it.
"Remetuber the Alamo!" shouted
Saui Houston.
"Remember tlio Alamo! Remember
GoMad!" came back from thousands of
Texas Rangers, as they eagerly awaited
*'ie word to charge the Mexicans under
Santa Anna at Sau Jacinto."
There are few survivors of the batt'e
which decided Texan independence, li\|
log today, but one of them Coleuel Listrdy
\V. li. Price of Clayton, Ala., is
slnl living, hale and hearty, and remembers
the battle as though it ii v t hap(it.i

Co.unci Price uas joi tiie past

C&rbart, ot Crew stunt, m tiie city, r
lie is a man 85 yeuis of age, having I
been born in Edgecoiub county, North
Carolina on may 10th, 18L7.
When still quite yojug h's p.reutsdied
and lie moved to Foit Valley, Ga.,
where he lived with an uncle. In 1S81,
iu company with his uncle, he journeyed
to Texas,.and in 1835, at the age of l'J, ^
he eutved Sam Houston's band ut Texas,
Rangers, lighting for independence iu
lrorn Mexico. JLu the rangers he was !'
present at several small skirmishes with 111
the Mexican troops, but the tirst battle
ot any importance was that of San Jaci- ,
n to. Ut
Sam Houston, hard pressed by the ?
Mexicans under Santa Auna had returned 1
southward from Gonzalet, Tex., and P?
when near San Jfilipe, Houston had turn- J!1
ed to the east bank of the Buffalo
bayou. . J"'
Santa Anna, with his Mexican troops !'*
following in close pursuit, had marched *
down the westbanks of Buffalo bayou,
reaching Harnsburg, the temporary 851
capital of the state, a day in ad vane of .
Houston. Here Sauta Anna burned the
city, with all the archives of the new aB
state, and marching after having a rear c
guard action with Houston's meu, who er
came up as Sauta Anna marched off. ,
Here one of Houston's spies captured VJ
a Mexican post rider aud Houston learned
for the first time' that Santa Auna
had dividtd his army into tlnee parts one Jj
marching down the west side of the state
one down the east and the third, under
Sauta Auna, inarching down the central A
path. ?
The Mexican post rider was carrying .
the mail in a pair of saddle bags on .
which was printed the name "William t,
Traves Baird," who commanded the
; Alamo. An attempt was made
on the part of the Texans to kill the
mail lider, but Houston per vented
this. ~
As soon as he learned that Sana Anna j
had divided pp his army he determined
to atiack that part of the army which,
uuder s.'uta Auna, after having buiued
Hariisbuig, had marched a tew miles
away and lay camped at San Jacinto.
Sauta Anna, feaiiug lest he was to be of
attacked, had ordered General Co3, his "t
brother-in-law, who cammindtd the rear vi<
guard, to biing up his men, so that Sauta ?u

narratives, stated that he had only a few wl
over 7U0, but Colonel I'rice staler that nc
Houston ustdersti mates his force to <-T
make the victory appear the greater. ce
"We were stationed about half a If
mile away from the Mexican array," f<>
says Colonel I'rice. "They had fort'lied th
themselves at San Jaciot j and thought m<
they were safe from attack. po
"On the afternoon of April 20, 1836, to
Houston called his men out and told ve
them that he was ready to attack the an
Mexicans and i>ade us remeratier the
Alamo. let
"At 2.30 o'clock, while the Mexicans
were taking th?lr afternoon siesta, we tK
were ordered to charge. We had two 'nl
iron sex-pounders, which the Texans ce
?iad dubbed the "Twin Sisters" aud tiie su
Mexicans bad one brass nine-pounder.
The first shot of the battle was fired
by one of our connou. The second shot
from the "Twin Sisters" exploded the
powder chest of the Mexicans, and they
were unable to use their cannon all
i through the battle. We charged, and
the Mexieaus, awaking form their sleep, I ?
I stood ready to receive us.

"The Mexican troops fired with their
ins at their hips, and invariably iirod
o high. In a few minutes we were
nong the Mexicans, aud in half au
>ur the battle, after waging for a time
hand-to-hand conllict but it was soon
rer. Eight hundred Mexicans lay on the
>ld of battle, and 800 more had surren:red.
"Santa Anna,was nowhere to be
uud, but three days later three young
etf, while walking in the outskirts of
e camp, found a man creeping through
e grass, they halted him and he fell at
cir feet and kissed them. He had no
Signia of otlice, but he was taken
fore Houston, and as he reached the
merican general he fell on his knees,
ying:
" 'I am Don Antnnin T<\cx
nna, the great Spanish Naix>leon. I
a your prisoner of war and claim your
sraency. The brave are always genous.'
"Houston asked him what he wished
me with his dead soldiers, but the
exican general, shrugging his should*
s, replied: 'They are dead, let them
:iy where they are.' And the dead
exicans were allowed to remain there
id were never buried.
"It has often been said that Santa
nna had only one leg at the battle of
in Jacinto, but that is false. He had
to of as good legs as I ever saw, and
i lost his leg sometime after the bat).
-After the battle of San Jacinto all
the things captured from the Mexins
were sold, Santa Anna's saddle
Id for $325, and good Mexican ponoea
sold for $150 apiece."?Atlanta

Food Adulteration.
"Iii a pure food case that was taken up
>iu Philadelphia to the supreme court
PenilSvlVRnis* " mtra n"1:?
? _? j ???j ?> A uuuu X UllUJf
.he plea was made that the law is not
elated unless the quantity of foreign
bstauce in a food staple is sufficient to
jure health. The supreme court detion
is that any poisonous ingiedien t,
tiether in quantity to injure health or
it. is a violation of the statute. The
y goes up that this 'will affect 20 per
ut of the stock of the average dealer.'
oue-flfth of the merchandise sold for
od contains poisonous ingredients,
ere is a startling necessity for active
fasures. The stupid plea that the
ison is not enough in any one- article
hurt the consumer indicates that the
ndor never gives enough thought to
y aspect of the question but the purit
of the nimble dime and nickel to
irn the effect of the cumulative poinings.
Certainly when we hear from
e trade itself that the practice of mixg
poison in food has attained a 20 per
nt. prevalence, it it time for streneous
ppression aimed with the most vigor
the manufacturers of such articles."
