The Qaxette says that wagons come in
then eanstantly, notwithstanding the report
of yalltw fever. It is the same case here,
j j, also the ffct that a wagoner very
rarely takes the fever, even though exposed
to It. One of our leading warehousemen
told us the other day that he had not known
tkan three deaths of wagoners from
this cause in ten years.
The Gazette mentions an abblitionist,
aamd Herman Harlan, who was made to

He was tampering with the slaves.
The Indianola Courier says that a nest

The Tiwgranh says it has heard it said
that people de4wt live so long in Texas as

first time we have heard it asserted that
Texas was an unhealthy country, but al-
ways the healthiest in the world, which is
proven by facts Democrat South.
The South has misrepresented us. We
expressly stated that we believed as good

and fined $27, for disturbing the peace, and
hound over in $800 bonds to answer for his
asauilt on the officerf to the District Court.
The Waco Democrat says that emigrants
are beginning to pour into that section of
the State in numbers. They are welcome.
Tin Waco Democrat has a blustering ar-
tiste under the head of embeixlement, &c„
which, we doubt not, the editor will be
thoroughly ashamed of, when Jie takes
jlteond thought about the matter.
The Dallas Herald' learns that the Agri-

The Kusk Enquirer mentions a habeas
corpus case in the court there worth re-
peating, a father suing for the possession
of his daughter. It seems the mother died
in the daughter's infancy, consigning the
chife to the care of her sister, who took her
and raised her to the age of fifteen. Mean-
while tho father married again, and after a
lapse of two years desires his daughter to
return to his home, she refuses, and the
writ iS^ot out to compel obedience, ^he
stated to the court that she loved and rev-
erenced her father, but her home was with

The Civilian reports five deaths in Gal-
veston.on Wednesday, and two up to 12
o'clock yesterday.
The Civilian mentions an instance of pre-
cocious rascality. Three little boys one
white and two negroes broke into a confec-
tioner's establishment by night, and played
the very mischief with" the jellies, sweet-
meats &c. They then broke into a resto-
rant and helped themselves to cigars and
other refreshments to the amount of nine
dollars.
The News says that subcontracts on dif-
ferent parts of the bridge are being let to
Galveston mechanics. This is right.
The News proposes an editorial conven-
tion to take measures to remedy the mail ir-
regularities of Texas. This is the most sen-
sible proposition yet about the editorial con-
vention, and the first one we have seen
that wqpld amount to anything.

these Conferences, and must have heard of
this deed. And it will be rembered that
the Conference appointed A. B. F. Kerr
agent for Rutersville College, when it
evident, if-it had not been a '■'Methodist
school," he conldnot have been so appoint-
ed. No Bishop in the church would have
sent him out to it, if he had not understood
the College to be under the patronage of
the Conference. We hope Bro. Haynie will
get to the Conference, and make good the
charge Q. L. makes «him bring against one
who, above all others, has borne the heat
of the day in Texas, and whose record is as
as fair as anynow in the State, and if pos-
sible, more conversant with Rutersville Col-
lege affairs. But we are fully persuaded Q.
L. has taken unwarranted advantage of
Bro. Haynie's great age and infirmities, in
writing out his statement, and we are the
more confirmed in this by Q. L's withhold-
ing his own proper name. A man who as-
sails the reputation of others, over a ficti-
tiour signature, has no confidence in the
truth of his own statements, and therefore
he cannot expect anybody to believe him,
and we we express our hearty contempt for
" Q. L.." of the True Issue, and " Justice,"
of the Victoria Advocate, and all other as-
sassins of character, over fictitious signa-
tures. JAMES E. FERGUSON.
p. S.—The above was written for the
"La Grange True Issue." But the editor
of the Telegraph kindly proffered to pub-
lish this, as he had copied Q. L. And we
now ask the True Issue to copy, and all
other papers that copy Q.L from the True
Issue.

From toe Texas Almanac.—1859.
SAN JACINTO CAMPAIGN.
TO TUE EDITOR OF THE LA GRANGE
TRUE ISSUE.
Sib:—By the kindness of two friends, I
have been put in possession of two copies
of your paper of the 25th ult., in which I
find a communication signed " Q.L.," pur-
porting to give an answer to my question
by " the venerable Rev. Jno. Haynie. ' I
I can never believe that brother Hayniehas
made the averments ascribed to him by
Q. L.t" unless I should see them over his
own sign manual, or hear them from his
own mouth, and then I should be forced to
believe that age and disease had so enfee-
bled his memory of the past events, that it
could not be safely trusted iu all matters,
some of which are so well known. We will
give the reasons for the above statements.
Bro. Haynie knows well that Rev. C. Rich-
ardson, A. M., was a member of the Texas
Conference from 1841 to the day of his
death, and that he was President of Ruters-
ville College for the greater part of the time,
and Bro. Haynie knows, if he knows the
Methodist Discipline, that he could not be
a member of the Conference, with an effect-
ive relation, without receiving an appoint-
ment from the Bishop, and more, that the
Bishop could not appoint him, unless the
College was "under the superintendence of
the church," nor could he appoint an agent
for a College, unless it was under our
church patronage. See Methodist Discip-
line, page 48 and 4't; and if Bro. Haynie
was a member of the Conference when he
was agent, he got that appointment from
Bishop, because the Bishop understood the
College to be under the superintendence of
the Conference. Bro. Haynie knows more,
that the "Trustees of Rutersville College"
have, from the -first, made out annual re-
ports of the state and prospects, &c,, of said
College, to the Texas Annual Conference,
asking for agents, for more prompt coope-
ration for endowments, &c. Calling the
College in these reports, "your College,
your Institution," &c. The Conference re-
ceived these reports, and acted on them,
appointed agents, passed resolutions to aid
said College in every way possible, and
complimentary to the faculty, appointed
visiting committees to attend the annual
examination, and published it in ] the
church papers as a Methodist school, and
Bro: Haynie knows that these were matters
of Conference record, and even much of it
has been stereotyped in the general 'min-
utes of the Methodist church, and is fresh
in the memory of all the preachers of the
Conference, who have been there any
length of time, before 1856; but yet Bro.
Haynie is made to say, by Q. L., " I not
only heard the same from all quarters,
knowing anything on the subject, but al-
ways knew it was nolo. Methodist Instition.
And if (as Q. L. represents) Bro. Haynie
did say, " privately and publicly, (while
agent) Chat it was not a Methodist Institu-
tion," we are truly sorry hedid say so, but
we apprehend that this is about what Bro.
Haynie said, if fairly interpreted, "That
the school was not Methodistic in ai offen
sive sectarian sense, that, it was free to
pupils of all faiths, and that the College, or
school, was one where all the branches of
education were taught, but no ^more of
Christianity, of any particular phase, was
taught than another." And this can be
said of all our schools, and the schools un-
der the various religious denominations,
and the pupils of these schools, becoming
Methodist, or Baptist, or Presbyterian, is the
ascident of their being in contact with the
teachers, who are of these churches, ant^hufiior to boast
not the result of special teaching in the
school.
Then, according to Q. L., Bro. llaynie
" never heard of a deed of any kind giving
the Conference an interest in the College
lots, until this controversy brought to light
the deed by Rob to Richardson. I am at
the first of this deed, from Rob to " Rich
ardson," Mr. Q.L., and I don't wonder at
its being new to Bro. Haynie. But I am
persuaded that Bro. Haynie has often heard
of the deed made by "John Rob, agent and
attorney" for the Town Company of Ru-
tersville, to the Trustees of Rutersville
College in trust for the Texas Annual Con-
ference of the M. £. Church. For I heard
of it at the first Annual Conference I ever
attended in Texas, now near eleven years
ago, at Elder Creek, Washington county,
1847, and again at the La Grange Confer
ence in 1848.Kit was made the subject of
much discussion by Bros. Richardson and
Alexander, and this led to procuring an
amendment to the charter in 1849, which
amended charter was brought to the Seguin
Conference, by Cap!. Wm. J. Russell and
now Rev. J. C. Wilson, and Bro. Richard-
son, and then and there, made the clause
iu said deed, making it obligatory on the
Conference to " endow the College'" the
subject of a long and earnest speech, show
ing the necessity for an agent to secure the
endowment. Bro. Haynie wag at all of
bt n. d. laeadle.

News or Faxxis's Defeat.
During this time it was understood that
orders had been sent to Fannin to retreat,
and join us without delay, as the artillery
he had was absolutely necessary to us.
Meantime, while a new camp-ground was
being laid of the bushes cleared away, etc.,
three or four tents being already pitched,
the painful news of Fannin's defeat was
brought into camp by one Peter Carr, whom
Houston treated as a spy, putting him un-
der guard. We all, however, believed his
report to be true, and it was corroborated
by others the next day, after which the
numbers in our camp began to diminish
rapidly.
Expedition under Cahxes.
Meantime Gen. Sezma had pitched his
camp on the opposite or west bank, and
about one mile from the river, and Capt.
Carnes was authorized to raise a mounted
volunteer company to cross over, and re-
connoitre the position of the enemy. My-
self and some twelve others of the Liberty
company accepted the invitation, and the
company, numbering sixty-four, haying re-
ceived two days' rations, crossed the river.
Having again mounted, we were told we
had to attack Sezma's camp of 60Q men,
and that Capt. Bird was to follow us, tak-
king his position in the edge of the timber
to cover our retreat. I was placed second
in the lead, and we had an orderly at the
head of our party, who knew his duty well,
having seen years of service in the U. S.
army; but Capt. Carnes, though brave, had
not the experience necessary in a com-
mander. We proceeded in ,good order, till
we emerged from the timber on the other
side, where we observed the enemy's camp
in great confusion, caused, no doubt, by
our unexpected appearance. We were about
to wheel to the right, expecting to make a
dash in full gallop to take the enemy's can-
non, but at this moment Carnes rides up
to the orderly, and gives the order: "Wheel
to the left, to the leftJust as he spoke,
the whistle of a ball from the cannon, pas-
sing over our heads, was heard, and the re-
port had scarcely subsided, before another,
then another foliowed, causing our line
to break in three or four places, as our
horses became almost unmanageable. The
balls struck the ground at some distance
beyond us, throwing up clouds of dust.
Upon looking back, I found myself at the
head of only four men, the company hav-
ing fallen back fully 600 yards to the rear,
whom we then joined, as the order to re-
treat was given. At this time our atten-
tion was attracted by two young men,
who rushed past us on two white
horses, with guns in their hands, and
their heads tied with hankerchiefs. They
dashed forward towards some Mexican
cavalry, (appearantly a scoutting party,)
who hastly retread befere them, but the
two pursued on till I lost sight of them. Or-
der having been restored among'us, |bless-
ings were pretty liberally bestowed on our
commander for our failure. A moment af-
ter, we saw the catlle running as if fright-
ened, and we knew somebody must be ap-
proaching but the rising grouud before us
obstructed our view, till after a few min-
utes, while we were waiting prepared for
a charge, the same two men on white
horses were seen driving before them some
Mexican horses and mules they had taken
from the enemy's guard. About the same
time we also c£>served in another direction,
the enemy mounted, and coming towards
us in gftod order. Capt. Bird's men hid them-
selves behind trees and stumps, some throw
ing themselves down in the grass for the pur
poseof getting a close shot at them. Weimme
diately stripped our horses, throwing our
saddles blankets, etc., into the ferry-boat,
and then having driven our horses in, made
them swim to tne other side of the river,
we all took our station in two files just un-
der the second bank, where we waited in
silence for the enemy to approach sufficient-
ly near to give us a hand-to-hand fight.
Rut here we were again disappointed, for
the enemy were prudent enough not to ap-
proach within a quarter of a mile, when
they turned and retreated. Having thus
failed in our purpose, we recrossed the
river about dark, and having recovered our
horses with some difficulty, and having
lost most of our provisions, we mounted
and returned towards the camp, and reach-
ing it, lo ! we found it entirely deserted.
The Retreat from the Colorado.
We at once pcrceived that Houston had
commenced his retreat. Before leaving
that morning, it was hinted to me that a
retreat was contemplated, notwithstand-
ing the preparations apparently for a per-
manent encampment, f I then, for the first
time, addressed Gen.^Houston on the sub-
ject, who knew me as well as I did him. He
declared to me that the grass being all eat-
en up, and the horses starving, it was im-
portant to get a new and better range, and
that, there was a fine spring and plenty of
grass six miles distant, he would only move
to that place, and then camp. But Maj.
Ben. F. Smith,, who knew everything that
was transpiring, afterwards took me one
side, and said with a wink: "We are going
to San Felipe, just as straight as the road
will lead us—keep this to yourself."
Figfiing the army had left, we had noth-
ing to do but to follow, and we did so
well as we could in the night; but after
marching till two o'clock, we found we had
missed the trail, and had gone out of our<
way some eight mile% Many of us declar-
ed it was necessary to have a better lead
er, and that, if we could do no better, we
would elect some one better fitted to com
mand. At near day-break we came up
with the army at the spring Gen. Houston
had named to me. We begged our break-
fast of our messmates? but yere not in the
of our exploits. Ascer-
taining Houston wa3 determined on contin
uing the retreat, Col. Burleson left the ar-
my for the purpose of removing his famiiy
to a place of safety. Col. Sherman was
therefore ordered to put the army in march
'ing order. The retreat wa3 continued
through this day, and at night we reached
the place of Mr. S. M. Williams, about two
miles from San Felipe. Hero we again
campfed, using up the fences of Mr. Wil-
liams for fuel, as the timber wa's too far
distant. As Houston had decided on march-
ing up the river some twenty miles oppo-
site Col. Groce's plantation; on giving or-
ders to that effect, Sherman found two
companies refused to come into line, and he
sent a message to that effect to Houston,
who had gone in advance with his staff,
when he immediately sent back Col Hock-
ley with an order to Sherman to put the
army in motion, saying, if subordinate
commanders were going to disobey orders,
the sooner it was ascertained the better.
One of the companies was commanded by
Capt. Mosely Baker, the other eithei* by-
Wiley Martin or Bird. The army had not
marched far, when Gen. Houston sent an
order to Baker to defend the crossing at
San Felipe, and to Martin to defend that
at Fort Bend. Subsequently Baker set fire
to San Felipe, and then took his position
on the opposite bank of the river, where lie
defended the crossing till he found the
main army was retreating and then aband-
oned it. Baker afterwards asserted, that
he burnt San Felipe by order of Gen. Hous-
ton, but the latter denied it. The enemy
afterwards finding the crossing atSan Fe-
lipe defended by Baker, diverged and went
down to Fort Bend, the crossing at which
place Martin was unable to defend, and
there they crossed over.
Camp at Groce's Ferry—sax Felipe
Burst, etc.,
Our camp was pitched near a deep rav-
ine, which had the appearance of having
once been the ted of the river, and which
miserable hole was our hiding-place for
about two weeks. San Felipe, having thus
been left to its fate by our army, its mer-
chants and other inhabitants finally aband-
oned it, after t he buildings were set on fire,
and burnt to the ground. In relation to
the burning of San Felipe, I may here re-
mark that on one occasion, in colhpany
with J. N. Moreland, I visited Gen. Hous-
ton, whom we found lying inhistent. Turn-
ing towards us, he said: "Moreland, did
you ever hear me give orders to burn the
town of San Felipe ?"Hisreply was: "Gen-
eral, I have no recollection of it." "Yet
they blame me for it," said Houston.
Accouxts of Faxxix's defeat.
While encamped in this filthy place,
some three of Fannin's men, wounded,
barefooted, and ragged, came into camp
and related all the particulars of their dis-
aster. After a misfortune has happened,
it is usually quite an easy matter for any-
body to show how it might have been
avoided. So after Fannin's defeat, it was
plain, that had he obeyed orders and join-
ed the main army at Reason's, with his fine
artillery, he would not only have saved
himself and his men from their dreadful
fate, but have prevented this retreat of the
main army. It was however, asserted by
some, that there was not time for Fannin
to effect a retreat after the order had reach
ed him, and indeed it is believed to be a
matter of much doubt whether the order
ever did reach him, as the bearer of it only
left Gonzales some seven days before the
enemy's arrival at Goliad. Of this, how-
ever, I can only speak from the statements
made by others. The statements given by
these three men have been substantially
confirmed by all subsequentaccounts. They
said that Fannin had received three ex-
presses from Travis, urging him to go to
his relief in the Alamo, but that he refused
to do so, thinking it important to defend
his position in Goliad, where he soon ex-
pected to achieve a glorious victory over
the enemy. Here he wasted some sixteen
or eighteen days, when he finally conclu-
ded to evacuate the place and cross the riv-
er; but, by this time, the enemy was rap-
idly advancing upon him. He had pro-
ceeded some ten miles on his retreat to the
eastward, when he was overtaken by the
Mexican calvary, who, in their hurry of
pursuit, had taken with them but a scanty
supply of ammunition. They first appear-
ed in a skirt of timber some mile or two in
advance of him, while he was in the open
prairie, in which exposed position he
strangely orders a halt, without water or
shelter of any kind. The enemy were but
few in number, but their actual force be-
ing concealed by the timber they made all
the display possible, and when night came
on, after considerable firing during the day
numerous fires were lit up for a great dis-
tance, presenting the appearance of a vast
army. Fannin had ' caused a temporary
breastwork to be thrown up by means of
his carts, wagons, etc. He had, during the
day, received a flesh-wound from musket
ball, from which he became feverish, and
suffering from want of water and food dur-
ing the night, and witnessing great suffer-
ing from want of water among all his men,
he beeome disheartened. Early in the
morning the enemy, pursuing their usual
resort to stratagems and treachery, caused
their accursed white flag to be again sent
in, (this being the second time,) promising
an honorable capitulation, etc., In his
despondency, and supposing himself over-
powered by numbers, Fannin accepts the
terms, and surrenders without firing a gun
It was soon after ascertained that the ene-
my's ammunition was about exhausted, and
that, had Fannin renewed the fire, he would
have won the victory. The subsequent un-
happy fate of the Georgia Batallion is
known to all.
Sickxess ix Camp—Reorganization etc.
While our army lay thus encamped in the
Brazos Swamp, using stagnant water from
the old bed of the river, a great deal of
sickness prevailed among the men, which
caused serious alarm. It was then deemed
proper to organize the army on the best
possible plan, and many promotions were
made, by which means our Liberty Compa-
ny was reduced from eighty to fifty in num-
ber. and of this Captain Logan complained
It was here also, that the Medical Staff was
organized, April 6. To Dr. Phelps was as-
signed the Hospital, which, for some weeks
before, had been kept on Groce's planta-
tion, where a few sick had been sent. Dr.
Ewing received the appointment of Surgeon
general, and by him Dr. Bomer and the
writer were appointed Surgeons of the first
regiment of Regulars. The Surgeons of
the Volunteer Regiments were appointed
by their respective commanders. Burleson
of the 1st Regiment appointed Doctors Da-
vidson and Fitzud, and Sherman of the 2nd
Regiment appointed Doctors Anson Jones,
(late President Jones,) and Booker. I was
afterwards apprised of these appointments
by Dr. Bomer, who was quite a stranger to
me. The next day we entered upon the
new duties assigned us. The medicine-cliest
such as it was, I found in great confusion.
Having arranged it as well as possible, a
cart was given me for its transportation, as
soon as we should again be on our march.
Owing to tho state of inactivity and the
increase of diarrhoea in the army, great
discontent and murmuring were manifest-
ed among all the officers and men. The
steamboat Yellow Stone, under Captain
Ross, lying at the Ferry, was placed un-
der guard for our future use.

jects, are free from capture and confiscation when
found on board of neutral vessels, with the excep-
tion of articles contraband of war
2d. That the property of neutrals on board of an
enemy's vessel is not subject to detention or con-
fiscation, unless the same be contraband of war ; it

which shall remain in their full force and effect.
ARTICLE III.
The two high contracting parties reserve Lo them
selves to come to an ulterior understanding, as cir-
cumstances may require, with regard to the appli-
cation and extension to be given, if there be any
cause for it, to the principles laid down in the first
article. But they declare, from this time, that they
will take the stipulations contained in the said ar-
ticle as a rule, whenever it shall become a question
to judge of the rights of neutrality.
ARTICLE IV.
It is agreed between the two high contracting
parties that all nations which shall consent to ac
cede to the rules of the first article of this conven
tion by a formal declaration, stipulating to observe

HAIR RESTORATIVE.
Is, no doubt, the most wonderftol llbcovery of this age
of progress, for It wih restore; permanently, gray hair to
its original color, cover the hciul of the baia with a moat
luxuriant growth, remove at once all dandruff and itch-
ing, cure all scroftila, and other cutaneous eruptions,
such as scald head, etc. It will cure, as if by magic;
nerveous or periodical headache; make the hair
glossy, and wavy, and preserve the color perfectly, and
the hair from tailing, to extreme old age.
The loliowing is from a distinguished member of Uie
medical profession: _ _
PKOF. o.J. WOOD—Data Sat UnsoliclleS, I send
you this certificate. After being nearly bald for a leog
time, and having tried all the hair restoratives extant,
and having no faith in any, I was induced, on hearing
of youre to give it a trial. 1 placed myself In the hands
of a barber, and had my head rubbed with a .good stiff
brush, and the Restorative then applied and rubbed
In, till th* scalp was agVow. This 1 repeated every •
morning, and In three weeks the young hair agpearectx,
and grew rapidly from August last till the present time, *
and is now thick, black and strong—soft and pleasant
to the touch; whereas, befotfe, it was 4karsh and wiry,
is of it. and tbathttte was disappear- :
I still nse your restorative about
what little there was of 1
ing very rapidly. I still
twice a week, and shall soon have a good and perfect
crop of hair. Now, I had read of these things—and who
has not? but have not seen hitherto any case where any .
person's hair was really benefitted by any of the hair
tonic, etc., of the day : and it really gives me pleasure
to record the result of my experience. I have recom-
mended your preparation to others, and it already has a
large and general sale throughout the Territory. The J
people here know Its efiecta, and have confidence in it.
The supply you sent us, as wholesale agents for the
Territory, is nearly exhausted, and daily inquiries are
made for it. You deserve credit for your dtaoovery; and
I, for one,return you my thanks for the benefit it has
done me, for I certainly had despaired Jong ago of ever
effecting any such resul l yours hastily,
