there is a possibility of its re-
turning here “after the war,”
and staying awhile before final-
ly breaking up and its various
units going back to the different
permanent posts throughout the
country. But already the re-
organized Second Division, as
mobilized and perfected under
the command of Major General
Wm. H. Carter, is a thing of the
past. Whether this week shall
witness the final passing of all
of the troops, or the remnants
will stay here some time yet be-
fore receiving orders to “follow

it appears certain that this di-
vision will eventualy depart

Carter, and as Brigadier General

of this present war than any

It is to be hoped that these
ambitious Texans will not be
disappointed, if we must have a
war with Mexico. Not that we
want a war solely to give our
friends a chance to earn mili-
tary rewards. Such a thought
is unworthy of them and of our-
selves. But if war can’t be
avoided, then we honestly hope
that those whose ambitions lie
in that direction will be given
the opportunity to go to the
front and win a soldier’s honors.
As for myself I want none of
it. I am a man of peaceable in-
stincts. I don’t believe in strife,
the strife that kills. I want to
be a builder. I want to join my
neighbors in constructing things
of material use rather than de-
stroy them. And that is what
war does—destroys things.
* * *
Of course, there are some
things that ought to be destroy-
ed. For instance, the present
head of federal Mexico. But I
dislike to see the awful cost that
the Mexicans and Americans
will have to pay to effect his de-
struction. If there were some
safe-way of having Huerta be-
headed without involving the
rest of the Mexicans in a bloody
war I would approve of it, and in
fact would be willing to do the
job myself, but that sounds
like war and if I say much more
the recruiting officers will be af-
ter me stronger than ever.
At present I have certain
things planned to do at Texas
City which makes it impossible
for me to accept a commission
to undertake the beheading of
Victoriano Huerta, notwith-
standing the deed cries to hea-
ven to be done, and done
swiftly. Let us send captain
Wight’s volunteers down there
to do it.
As for myself, I have been col-
lecting some fine views of Texas
City lately to be published in
the Texas City Hand Book,
shortly to be issued under the
auspices of the Board of Trade.
I believe that I will “surprise
the natives” with this book, es-
pecially in the way of illus-
trations. There will be several
views that have never before
been shown, and they represent
some of the best things in Tex-
as City.
