THEY AÍ&E PASSING AWAY.
It in with.feeling of «oleran regret
-that wo sec tlie'old Toxaus dropping
one by one fioin their accustomed
placea in our midst. Scarcely has the
grave closed over the rotnuins of the
lamented Capt. A. II. Jones, ere we
are called upon to record the demise
of auother ot'the fnw remaining vetee
ana who did such valiant service in the
cause of liberty and independence.
That old and valued citizen of Gon
zules, and one of the loading spirit*
in the T«-xas Revolution Col. Amasa
Turner, died in this town lit the'resi-
dence of Ids son-in-law, James F.
Miller, Esq , on Saturday morning,
21st inst., in the 77th year of his age
Among the brave "old guard" who
immortalized themselves iu th« fierce
struggle for Texan Imlopendenca,
there were very few who did more
for the cause of liberty, whilst in his
ftphere as n private nitizen.be was un
iversally honored and esteemed l'orj
his great usefulness as well as for his
sterling virtues and noble traits of
character.
Col. Amasá^tirner was born No-
vember 9tli,jj6ii)0, near Boston, Mas-
sachusetts where he resided with
ids parents until he attained his ma-
jority. In the fall of 1822 he moved
to New York, and iu 1825 to Mobile,
Alubama, where lie engaged iu active
and successful business. In 1827 he
married Julia Morse, at Mobile. In
1833 he bad a severe attack of yellow
fever, which caused his health to tail.
To recuperate and restore his health
he took a trip to Toxas in the spring
of 1835, together with five other gen-
tlemen of Mobile. Their object was
to flab, hunt, and travel- and thereby
improve their health. Upon landingl
in Texas they made their way to]
Bastrop, and finding Bartlfett Sims
about to start out to the frontier on
a surveying expedition, Col. Turner]
and his party joined the expedition
and retnniu¿d our. ou this tour for sev-¡
WUon iVo/ie t« rrt c#tt
Bastrop, tlfl^found tlffit the rkvolu-j
tion had bivkeuoot aud the men un-
der orders to r'tlllllOZniua'&CGon"zaies
lor tbo purpose of capturing San An l
tonto. Col. Turner and his party
«ame ou to Gonzales, joined the Tex-
as army and moved with it to Sun
Antonio. ]
He participated in the bid tie of
Concepcion, which took place oil the
morning of the 28th of Octdfcer, 1835,
and resulted in a brilliant victory to
the little band ot 92 Texns volunteers.
Then, on the 18th of November, be!
was engaged iu the celebrated "Grass
Fight." Ou the 5th of December,
same year, he was oue of the number
who volunteered to storm Sau Anto-
nio nnder the lamented Mi fain, in
which 400 Toxarís, after five days
.hard fighting from house to house,1
capturcd the city and die whole Mex-
ican force—1200 strong—under Gen.
Cos. After the capture of San Auto
nio and upou the adoption of the plan
of organizatioirof the army, Col. Tur-j
ner was commissioned 1st Lieutenant
in 1st ilegimont Beguhir Infantry,1
his commission bearing date Decem-
ber 3rd, 1835. On December 5th,
the day oil which the attack ou San
Antonio commenced, nil order was
issued requiring him to proceed to]
Mobile on recruiting service. Soon
tt<w thff battle, upon reoelvi
Orleans with oonwnissioncrj scut
the purpose of raising funds to carry!
on the new government. Theuco V>!
proceeded to Mobile, visited his faiu-l
ily and attempted to recruit for the}
Texas army, but finding it impossible!
to do anything in Mobile, several}
other recruiting olHcers having pre-
«oiled him ip that plaoe, ho promptly I
returned to New Orlenus and sue!
ceeded in raising two companies, one[
lor the regular and oue tor the voluu
teer service. Fiuding t hat tJie gov I
«ruuient agent had not succeeded in}
providing funds, he, at his own ex-
pense, chartered and furnished
schooner and embarked his troops foil
Texas. Alter havihg somo trouble!
in evading u Mexican Consul at New!
Orleans and h 17. S. war vessel at the!
mouth of the river, ho succeeded iui
lauding his troops at Velasco. TJie!
volunteer company organized by the!
election of B. Komau, Captain,}
audi a full complement of officers. A«
ftoou as Ire could procuro trausporta-l
lien aud ?upplie9—which he did t>v|
'purchasing from McKinney & Wil-
li iams on his own credits-he moved
¡forward in command of the two com
jpanics to join the am y, (ho having
ibeen commissioned Captain in the
[regular army February 4th, 1830,)
hich lie met on ita retreat from Gon-
zales at the Colorado River. The
two companies were attached to Col.
Millard's regiment. Flo remained
with the army on their retreat and
fought the memorable battle of San
Jacinto, commanding company B, 1st
[regiment regular infantry.
After the battle of San Jacinto Ife
¡was sent to Galveston Island, in com-
mand at the troops detailed to guard
the prisoners capturcd at San Jacin
to. On the 27th of August, 1830, he
was promoted to the rank of Lt. Colo
lelof the 1st regiment regulars and
(placed in command of the regiment,
¡Col. Millard having been arrested for
.his participation in the attempt to
'arrest and depose President Bur*
Jnett. The service rendered by CjI.
(Turner at tlivj. critical juncture iu
efusiug to execnte Uto order of his
•Colouel to arrest t he President and
his Cabinet, and in thwarting a mis
guided scheme of counter revolution,
was most important, though ttn un
written ohapter in our history.
¡Without any desire to uncover any
unpleasant part of the past which
night to be forgotten, wo would only
lesire to record that which is justly
iue to tho honor and patriotism of
[our departed veteran.
Col. Turner remained with the
army iu commaud of his regiment
until tho 14th of December, 1838,
when he was ordered to report for
duty to tho Quartermaster General,
whoordcred him toMobile to purchase
supplies for the army, fie aril ved
[in Mobile in January, 1837, and hav-
ng purchased the supplies ordered,
[chartered tho schooner Columbus,
'and brought the supplies together
jwiih his family,arriviugat Galveston
[February 7th, 1837.
After his return from Mobile he
was ordered on duty as Commander
of the post of Galveston, in which
position he coutinned u ttil ho re-
signed and left the army. On the
7th of June, 1837, Lt. Colonel Turner
was promoted to the Colonelcy ot'the
¡1st regiment regular infantry to date
[from May 18th, 1837.
On the 5th ot August, 1837, ho re-
signed Ms commission iu the army,
,ud his resignation was accepted by
the Secretary of War with an expres-
sion of regret, that his valuable servi-
'S should be lost to the army. Twice1
[beturfe he had offered his resignation
¿Ijhieh wafijas often overruled, and tho
iukous ho gave met wjth «rtebi
expected would jro-
coneflebim to rcmniu iu tho army
Ho was at once identified with the,
men of enterprise and ouer^y who
were attempting to build up a groat
commercial city ou Galveston Island
aud led in some of the most import-
ant and early enterprises of that
placo. When ho landed in Galveston
in February, 1837, he found that the
commander of tho post had caused a
house of sods, covered by grass to be
built by the Mexican prisoners for the
accommodation of his family. He!
afterwards had tho old Mexican cus-
tom house repaired aud resided iu
that until lie could build a house.
The storm of 1837 swept away every-
thing but this old custom house, in
which his family was at tho time.
Alter the storm the city began to
improve rapidly. Co'. Turner built
tho first wharf, i/;«. hnuse and ho
tel in the place. About ISli) ho im-
proved a place on Cedar Bayou and
spent a portion of his time there. lie
removed to tho Naviilrul river, La j
vaca county in 1848, and was a suo
sesd'ul planter up to the time ot bus)
enioval to Gonzales in 18( ;5, when
;bereft by the -casualties of the late j
war of both his sons and soti iu la ,,
with a widowed daughter, with hopos
broken, with the tenderost tiostof uf-
'JUklY sundered, with society
ountry overthrown, lie'abandoned
his farm forever to spend the evening
¡of his lite with his nfllteted daughter,
.Mrs. Batchelor, iu tho town of Gon
zules.
Soon after this removal he was
¡called to pass through a bitter trial
[in the death of his wife, a truly noble
¡and excellent woman. From this
timo lie began to look forward with
oustant preparation to tho time ot
is own departure. lie now fixed
his a flections earnestly upon the oh
jects of Christian hopo mid "devoted!
himself actively and unremittingly to
t he cause of Christ. JI is brethren
know how anxiously ho pressed the
work of a church building aud re-
ijoiced exceedingly when it was com-
pleted and dedicated to tho worship
|ul God. lie beenmo a professing
Christian about the year 1851), after
tho most serious aud pungent convic-
tions ou the 8nbject of religion. When
(ho came to a satisfactory hope at the
oot of the Cross, he uerer left that
[ground, lint to the day of his death
[rejoiced in salvation through a cru-
cified Redeemer with a simple and
(child-like faith. lie was honored by
[his co-presbyter to4be their repre-
sentative in the general assembly of
[the Presbyterians (South), which
[met in the city of New Orleans last
¡May.
Cot. Tnrner served two terms in
[the legislature of the State of Texas,
[but ordinarily never sought connec-
jtion with politics. His uative good
[sense, his sonud wisdom, aud great
'experience fitted him for usefulness
[in almost any sphere. His ardent
Inflections mado him an idol at homo
[and among his most intimate friends,
life had a warm heart, a bold spirit
Luid wise head. Such are the inen to
[lay the foundation of empires, while
[others enjoy the fruits of their labors.
(THE RAILROAD TROUBLE-
[Continued from first paga.]
Tliey kept their word, too, and
fwl cn a lumber pile belonging to a
'citizen took fife the riotcm thenis
[solves turned it and helped to extin-
/iiiigli" tlm flamea and remuva t'
lumber to a safe place. Train after
{train was tired by the infni-iated;
fcrowd but the ears wcrcso ;t'ar clis-
jtftiit front the round-liouso that it did i
mot sorioiisly •injure tho military,
(although their position was one of
(peril.
íinaely a largo party of strikers,
(captured a ear load filled with coke,
[which they run from tho Alleghany
[valley Railroad track to a siding
¡connecting with the Pennsylvania
[Railroad. They then procured a
Jlarge quantity of petroleum oil and
¡pouring it over tho coke ignited the
[materials. In a very lew in'jtnents
(the car was a maws of fire, and it was
Otilen pulled along the track and
¡forced againdt the ronnd-honse. The
(building was soon ignited and the
¡soldiers word now coinpolled o pre-
jpafa to fight their way out through
[tho frenzied mass of humanity clam-
joiing for their blood. The building
Jdid not burn as rapidly as was ex-
[poetad, and the mob, bent on revengo
Mushed out to tho road and sent
[burning trains towards the doomed
Jbui'ding.
From midnight till 5 o'clock this
Jmorning the main efforts of the
(crowd were directed to firing the
[building and "cirs, but about halt an
hour Inter the mob, which had been
¡besieging tho military, left tor «orne
¡unexplained reason. This afforded
«tho troops, who alivo, opportunity
ito emerge from the building •and
Ithcy succeeded in reaching Liberty
¡street in a very few moments. They
¡quickly formed in line and marched
¡up to '1'hirty-tKrd street, and thence
Ito Penmwivania avonuo and Butler
street, ihoir objective ¿point wag
the United States Araooná', on But^
ler street whore they expected to ob-
Itain shelter.
While turning into Butlor street,
(however, the leaders ot the riot had
¡discovered their retreat, and fully
lone thousand armed and supplied
¡with ammunition followed in pur-
suit, Some of the troops tired ou
(citizens, either acpidcntly or inten-
jtionally, as they wore moviug along
[and this added fury to the cry tor
¡revenge. V: hen they reached the j
(arsenal the commander ¡refused •
Ito admit thom. He Raid he had but
¡ton men and would be poweHess to
(hold the place it tho mob should at-
jtack it. He consented to take care
lot the wounded, and they were ac-
cordingly carried into tho hospi-
tals.
The main body of the troops con-
jtinucd their march out Butler street
¡a fnsilade being kept upon thom by
¡the mobs as they moved along. The
guiiots fired killed one ot tho soldiers
jbetore they reached the arsenal and
[nearlyopposite the cemetery gate
[fully a mile nbovo tho arsenal two
Bothers wero killed and were left ly-
ling on tho sidewalk. They eoutiu-
'Vtied their fight and crossed over to
the north side of the Alleghany riv-
er oi\ the Sharpsburg bridge, the
ni'jb lollowing thorn as rapidly as
possible. After reaching the north
. id.* the" troops scattered. In this
way the mob was divided into very
?tilull bodies.
In the Meantime the city was in a
tate ot anarchy. Thousands who
