rionornbte Conduct,
Tiie mass of the Catholic population of Mil
w .value have acted honorably, and taken a course
winch casts shame upon that of the people in
many places where property of that denomination
of Christians has Ken destroyed by mobs. In the 1
Milwaukic Gazette of the loth, tlie following card I
appears, signed by a targe number of persons :
“ We, the subseriMm, Clergy anil Laity of the 1
Catholic Church in Milwaukte, having observed j
‘-with sincere sorrow and disapprobation, the rio'ous '
aim outrageous conduct of a tew misguided Cath- 1
olics, rat Sunday night, at the Methodist Church. |

almost a Prophecy.
In 1833, JohnC. Calhoun, m replying to Daniel j
Webster, thus addressed him : “ If the principles j
you contend for are correct, you will wake up a
spirit of abolition in the North ; you will make '
i your people believe they are responsible for this
institution—and the day that principle gets into I
] their minds, and that feeling into their hearts, this j
I’niNn will be at an i ml ; and you yourself will
| be the very first to feel the effects of the doctrine I
'ou are now maintaining, by being ostracised and
1 scorned.
Tins was prophecy. Only the other day, the i
city authorities of Boston slammed the doors ofl
Kaneuil liall in the face of Webster, and tefused
him a hearing—treating him as no more entitled to
i it than Fred, Douglass, or Abby Foison!
Vill liable Keceipe.
Marks, of the Bayou Sara Ledger, is a practical
I joker, but as he gives the following in earnest, we
I advise those who are tired of this rainy weather to
| try it.
Hmr to prevent rain.—Whenever you see a
thundering big cloud coming up and you are quite
certain it is going to rain like blazes, just shove
■ out all the empty barrels, buckets, tubs and every
I thing else that will hold water, to catch the rain
j in; you may rest assured that you will not get a
; drop ! We, have seen it tried u dozen times, and
I have never known it to fail.
Patriotism.
Yankee gentleman conveying a Bri'ish gentle- ;
man around to view the different objects of attrac

“ Th;s is th* place where Warren fell.”
” Ah !” replied the Englishman, evidently not
posted up in local historical matters; “did it!

The native looked at him with expression of four
teen Fourth of Julys in his countenance.
” Hurt him,” said he, "be was killed, sir.,’
" Ah ! he was, eh ?” said the stranger, stilleye
ing the monument, and computing its height ill his
own mind, layer by layer ; "well I should think
he would have been, to fail so far.”
The native tore his hair, but it gave him a good
opjiortumty to enlarge upon the glorious events
connected with this hill, and the benefits there
from flowing for our somewhat extensive country,
and soon talked himself into good humor.

A Gleam of comfort.
A friend tells us, that some dozen or fifteen years
ago, when he had the “ melancholy duty ” to stand
Iwhind the counter in a country store, dealing out
the " best selected assortment west of Albany,"
he was once brought very suddenly to a state of
unutterable wonderment. A youthful and pretty1
woman, robed in * dead black,' approached hurt and
wished to l >ok «t bis “ Gleam of Comfort.” “ At
what, madam” said be, puzzled, confounded and;
confused at what appeared to him a most singular]
reijuest. Gleam of Comfort, young man, hav’nt j
you any, nr d-,n’t you know what it is?” replied the
lady. "Yes, ma’am—most likely we have it—;
what is it like, is it drv grods or rroceriev, ma’am7" ’
"Dry goods or groceries,” echoed the lady, look
ing at our troubled friend in a way that made hunj
feel de.-idediy uncomfortable—"Sir, it is mourn
m: calico of the second grade, for widows of three'
weeks. It is well known, sir with us in the city.
I'm astonished at your ignorance.” The fright

It was in the winter of l(t3t-’7, and the anny of'
Ti n-'* lav encamped in a beautiful prune on the :
banks of the La llaca. The t m iny had been driven
beyond the RiaGnmlc, and the “ lone star "'shone
in paoeful triumph over the new-born Itepublie. I
Bui, although the clouds of war had for the tune |
disappeared, new aud fearful dtllieuUics presented :
themselves, to obstruct and retard the clfoctive os t
tabiisbment of civil govertMoeat. The wild and ,
unsettled condition of Texas, prodused by her al
ternate struggle* with the Mexicans at one time,
and with the Indians at another, had fostered in the
hearts of h«r people a passion for war. and a dis
taste for the calm and tabuioua pursuits of civil i
live. Ambitious and chival ric adventurers from the j
Stans* had rallied around her standard, panting j
with impatience for an opportunity to render some ’
signal service to the young Itepublie, and to gain
• a place upon the bright pages of her history. Sot 1
were those who couia.it the sanies of fortune on j
the plains of Texas alone distinguished for reck- ,
less danng and fiery courage, for in proportion to'
her population, no part of the world contained a :
greater amount of cultivated intellect and aplen- ’
did acquirement. Among the many who would j
have been snjierior men in any country, may be
named Austin. Burnet, Lamar, Rusk, Felix Hus
ton, the two Whartons. Henderson, Archer, and a
host of others; each and everyone seeking to work i
out some splendid destiny, arid each aspir.ug to the
leadership in the affairs of Texas. Rut there was '
another spirit upon the sta-e, whose vast and coin- 1
prehenstvc mind, ami inflexible will, raided him i
high above ail cunipetitiiri, and caused him to be j
recognised by the masses ns the Father of Texas
—that man was Sam Houston. But this very re
c.ignition on the part of thepe >p!c arrayed against
him nearly all oi the aspiring talent of the <oun
try: and of all the public rnen already named, •
Kusk alone remained his friend, and he alone of
them all has continued to possess the confidence of
the Texans.
Having been elevated to the presidential chair ,
by an overwhelming vote, Houston bent the entr- J
i " -s of his mind to securing moral weight and pow
er to the civil government, and to the development
of the resources of Texas. But in a country where
war was not only t pass - time and delight, but looked
to ns the means of employment, by a large body of J
the people, and where the steel and the bullet were !
the only recognised arbiters of disputes, the task

n > easy performance.
The soldiers of San Jacinto, had retired from t
the service, and the army of Texas, less than three ,
thousand strong was composed of ardent and youth- *
ful volunteers from every part of the American
Union.
As has been said, the main army, was in camp
on the La Baca, and was under the command of!
Gen. Felix Houston. This gentleman was a law
yer from Mississippi, possessed of great wealth, and 1
standing at the head of his profession in that State
Marly in the summer of 1836, he equipped at his
own expense, and marched to Texas, a fine body
of cavairv; himself, being the commander, and soon i
after his arrival in Texas, he was niaueBngadier
General, and given the command of the troops in ’
the field. He was a soldier by nature, and os sue*.
. his character was fashioned afltlr that of Anthony
Wayne. But his ambition was as selfish and un
loumled, as his courage was desperate; and in
thinking of himself, he forgot to think of the well 1
being of Texas. He soon became the favorite and :
almost the idol of the army; and the soldiers talked i
of “ Old Felix," as the soldiers of the old army ;
had talked of “ Old Sam
Possessed of a burning eloquence, but seldom
equalled Felix Huston determined to fuse the fire :
of his own mad ambition into the hearts of his sol- |
diets, and thus mould them to his will. In fur- i
therance of this design, it was bis habit, once or j
twice a week during the intervals of drill, to liar
amrue them in strains of thrilling and impassioned
eloquence. In scathing invective he would re-;
count the many wrongs inflicted upon Texas, by
the government of Mexico. The smouldering ruins
of the Alamo—the gashed and mangled remains i
of Travis and of Fanning, and their martyred com
rades, (of Goliad and Alamo,) were presented to J
their imaginations in colors so dark and horribly j
startling that one wild scream for vengeance would
burst forth from the maddened soldiery. Then
with a subtleness winch seemed opposed to the ,
vehemence of his nature, he would deal death
blows at “ Sam 11 vision and his Congress,” w ith
out directly mentioning either, until murmurs of
discontent and threats ol revolt aval list the gov
eminent, spread themselves throughout the col
umn. Theu modulating Ins voice in tones of
sweetest melody, he would carry back their mem
ones to their native horn'-s, and tell them that their,
grey haired sires and far oflf friends. cx|k ted •. very
one of them to perform some exploit in arms, of
which ihey might feel justly proud. And then
turning his eagle glance towards ibe Kio Grande, i
with ties long arm pointing to the west like the ;
hand of destiny, he would exclaim, with the clar
ion's vaic«—yonder it th- ruadtthicU le i It to ven
geance, to glory, and to fame.
As the explosion of gunpowder follows the ap
plication of the match, s > was restless and fiery
discontent the necessary consequence resulting
from these orations. The common theme of con
versation at the moss and at the watch tire, was
the propriety of the army marching against Col,uu i
bia—then the capital of Texas—disbanding the ;
Congo vs, and taking possession of the government.
The conquest of Mexico, was considered as the cer
tnm result which would follow the invasion of
that country. And thus, the ercater usf of the
army were prepared to overtlu jw the (J jvc'umvie,
assume the temporary retna of power, aud tutu
abandon Texas to invade Mexico.
There was but one mind in Texas sufficiently
Comprehensive, but one «rtil sufficiently powerful
to check aud counteract the desigus of Felix Hus- ,
ton. That m ud anJwiU, formed pat', of the charac
ter of Sam Houston.
ft was on a bright and beautiful afternoon in |
that southern winter, when Felix Huston hail just 1
c* included one of his mist thrilling and impassion
ed addresses, and the acclamations of soldiers were
yet resounding over the prairie, when a single
horseman was descried coming forward at headlong
speed, from the direction of the Navulad. The
rapuiitv of lies pace, and the striking peculiarity of,
)us tearing and costume, caused all eyes to be
t imed towards the corning stranger. With rifle
i:i one hand and the reins firmly' grasped in the 1
otr. r, he sat on fits horse with that wil l era< <* ami <
daring skill NO peculiar U> the taugiei of Texas.— i
Ills loug brown hair flowed carelessly upon his
shoulder*, aud the broao brnu of hi* white hat I
was blown hack exposing to the view, his bold, c
hoh forehead, aud h>* eye of dauntless and pier ;
ciug blue. >
N ) on who had ever listened to a recountai of ,
the hair breadth escapes, and desperate exploits of
** Ur .S>y r ■mpaHf,” and had heard a personai dca
cnptiou of its leader, requited to be told that the
coming hor email w as “ Deaf sumh, Tiur suotsuas
ava” of Ui«- army of Texas. Without checking ha
speed, )ie dashed up to within a few feet of Pciix
Huston, when he came to a dead halt, and looking 1
him fall in the face, without preface or remark, he
abruptly said; *
‘ Sim ll'tuiim hot holtei far the might ok the
limit of the MacuiaJ, aud w.U be m pur camp to
marrow.'”
Such was the first announcement to tte army, of
th- approach of the President.
For an lu-xlaut the blood mantled the brow of
Felix Huston, but he promptly replied m loud
though courteous tone—“ (Jo bwi awl tell the
Treddrm! that ihi ur.nif will be hippy to rrceiet inn.”
Without iniviiu a m iscle of his face, or making
the slightest inclination of hi* body, he wheeled
his horse and in a loom ut more was flying far;
away over the prairie.
The prestige of Sant Houston's name and char-1
actcv was felt by every one, and feeling of won
ikr. mingled with awe, spreading itself over the j
army.

thrill biassed along the line of battle, an every,
heart became more full, and each so Idler* i eye' wss '

and divine one's very thought; all 1hese combined I
with the romance of his historv, and the pnsrtigel
of his name, produced an impre-ssem on the army, I
more easily imagined than described. ■
Having flat vistfe-d the hospitals of the sick*
soldiem, sympathizing with the suffering and en I
rouraging the convalescent, he informed fteneral J
Houston that he wished to speak a lew words to '
Ihe soldiers. The army having lieeu formed in

were marked with a blending of sterness and sadv

if Texas, and bade them beware how they tar
listed their honors by actions unworthy of" free

!o their friends and kindred, whose hope sud sym
pathies were with Texas—with liberty—he asked
hern if they would disappoint those friends, and
over them with shame and mortification, instead
if rendering them proud and happy. With magic
(kill he soothed the vcngclul auger excited by Ke- ■
in Houston, and spoke of him with courtesy and j
kindness. He complimented the soldiers upon
iheir military liearmg and told them, that ho folded
ihrm all to his arms as comrades and brothers.
No shout rent the air ; no wild huzza greeted him
is he turned away to return to the camp ; but j
here was not one dry eye in all that column, and
nanly tears, and but half restrained emotion, told
!hat Sam Houston had triumphed, and that the ;
iionorof Texas was safe.

Felix Huston are pronounced alike, no relation J
