we continued to advance upon the enemy.
driving- him from one square to another un
til we arrived within a short distance of the
church and grand plaza where tht largest
nortioo of the enemy's force was congrega
ted. Every foot was sharply contested by
the tor and nothing but the unflinchingcour-
ageand unerring shot of our :nen enabled
us to progress against a force so vastly su-
perior in numbers 10 ours The fight on the
part of the Texaru commenced about II
o'clock in the forenoon ucd continjtd with-
out cessation until they wera called off by
your order tOR-ards the close of the day.
They reined with reluctance from a perfect
confidence in their ability to continue their
onward movement and to bold the city as
far as they might extend their captuie. Gur
loss under the circumstances was surpris-
ingly small being only one killed and five
wounded. Th-t of the enemy is sot known;
but we have reason to belitve that it was
considerable not only from their own ac-
knowledgments but also from the siens of
blood as well as from the fact that our men
i4dom fired except with great deliberation
and only wherr an object nas in view.
I nave no observations to oner upon the
events of the day further than to ixptrs my
uubo.nded admiration of the indomitable
courage and peiseierar.ee cxnuiitid in the

In the distiibatiou of honors among my
own people! am stnsible of the re?poibi I.
i:y otthe task. and ofthe great difficulty ot
rxecu ting it lo the ;aiiifacti(ncf all. That
some should accomplish more than others is
a law of N'-tu.e. It may be the result not
sa much of superior merit as of mere supe-
riority in physical strength and other adven.
ijiious circumMances. But on occasions like
the -present where all did their duty and did
ft tvell. it would teem lo be proper and jujt
tt their fame should be a common one.
For this reason and other consideration; I
must avoid tho indulgence of individual eulo-
gy altogether except 30 far as it may be in
. parable from an exposition of the conduc1
oI - -fl- tvhich I feel boand to make in
asmuch as I am in some degree responsible
tne public for their behavior. Major
(Clarke my junior aid who had rindered
himself useful to me on many occasions was
an active officer conducted himself in baule
with the true spirit ofthe soldier and had
the honor of being the first in tho regiment
to enter the city. He tvas rapidly followed
by Mr Walter Wiun (a worthy gentleman.
and a soldier of San Jacinto) who was con-

mourn the fateof a young officer who was

soul of honor and the pride of chivslry. He
had long been employed bv the Governmrnt
of Texas in defence of ibe western frontier as
the commander of a corps of mounted raog-t-r.-;
and probably no officer every perfoirned
his duty with more aaivtty and efficiency
or with more satisfaction to the country.
He possessed nothing of the rough babitii
ignorance and presuming forwardness which
is usually supposed to attach to the frontier
soldiers. He was an educated man and a
gentleman bysaturq tnet in his manners;
amiable in temper just in his dealings; and
strictly moral in all bis habits. During Lis
connexion with the present campaign bis de
portment as such so .narked by a happy
union of modesty "iih bravery and dignity
with obedience as to win the hearts of all
and constitute him the chief favorite of the

Air. Boylahiciicjf escaped by tasbmg n
his person a couple of llte-pteseivers with
whicn the boat was foiiunittely wC-41 dup-
ptttd. He expresses his deliberate catvit-
ten that but for theso not a persou could
u-sre beeu saved. This fact is worthy of
notice:
Mr. BoyU remained on board to the last
aud at length watching hu opportuniiy and
availing himself of a lull tu tae surf leaped
into the water and seized upon a ledge of the
tock. His hands however were eo benumb
ed with coKl that he couid not retain hu
grasp and the attempt repeated three or
four times without success. Finally he get
a firmer hold (and leached the shore.
He was much bruised by being thus re

secured the lists of passengers both thofel
who cams flora Boston and those who came
on beard at Norwich but they were both so
saturated tbat he left Uim in custody of some
oua to be dried and ihey will arrive in the

Mr Boyle is of opinion lhat most of the
passengers who hare lost their lives were
killed or so maimed as to Lo uuable to help
tht mselves by the failing in of the promenade
deck. The second sta whtch trashed over
the beat after she struck carried overy thing
before it completely stripping her. There
were forty-five passengers on board thirty
whom were from Boston. All were so pre-
pared for the disaster tbat 11 is not likely any
