protection Of Santa Anna, was shot down
by that savage 6end's orders. Col.
Crockett and Capt. Dickerson fought
with desperation worthy Of better
fate. We are glad 10 contradict the
report that some Of the Texans laid vio-
lent hands on themselves. They sold
their lives dearly, and that barbarian,
Santa Anna, and his savage hordes, will
long remember the terrible fight Of

Col. Fannin with 500 men, was at
La Bahia, and felt confident, that in

GREAT MATCH RACE.

This day came off the great match
race between Hrgyle, a brown Bay
Horse, b years old, by Tonson. Dam
Ihisfie, and John Bascorab, Sorrel
Horse, 4 years old, by Bertram, Dam
PaeoIet, over the Augusta Course.
II will be recollecied, that at a late
meeting on this Turf, Argyle was
matched against Col. Crowelrs Stable.
for $1,000 against $4,000. The
Stable of Col. Crowell, contained, at
the same time Of making the Race, not
only John Bascom, bat also Bill Austin,
Lady Nashville. and Bolivia. The bet
was deemed injudicious in the opinion
OF many Turtles, because one horse
might be out Of order on a particular
day, but IT was not probable that four
horses would be. None acquainted
with the powers Of Argyle seemed 10
fear the result il il were certain that he
would be IN proper condition.
Never was the city OF Augusta more
thronged, and they could not have been
less than FIVE thousand spectators of the
race. From Louisiana to New York
there were visitors, as we'll rs from eve
ry intervening State. The coufse was
IN splendid order, and the hackers of
.drgyle confident Of success. Nor
were they without friends to back their
opinion. The immediate friends of
Bascom were equally confident; but
without their circle Bascom found few
to back him in equal bets. Two TO one
was generally required, in some instan-
ces 10 to 8 and lO to Z. After Satur-
day but few bets Of magnitude were
concluded. The friends of Boscom had
ventured already about $4,000.
At one o'clock, the horses were
brought to the post. and the track allot-
ted to Argyle, being first mounted
The start was good. and the first mile
they were locked nearly throughout.
Argyle being a little ahead. Ia the
second mile, Bascom passed his oppo-
nent with much ease, and was we'll a.
head on reaching the post. which space
was gradually but rapidly increased
throughout the heat. II was evident
Argyle was beaten his heat, and at the
commencement Of the fourth mile il
was likewise evident he would be post
ed. The three last quarters of the
fourth mile, Bascom run under bea-
w pull, notwithstanding which Argyle
was distanced. and the race ended.

From the time made in this race tits
evident that John Bascom would have
equalled or surpassed the time made by
Henry and Eclipse, in their celebrated
eoatest. Here we see another evil
denee Of Carolina blood, Dascom being
in the direct line from stocks of our
breeding. BaScom has made better
time than ever was made before on the
Augusta Course. nay better than any
that ever was made in the Southern
States, and Is now pronounced by all
Who Witnessed the race, the best Race
Horse in the United States. Post Bow
not excepted. The betting though
large. was not a. considerable as was
anticipated.

general satisfaction, as putting to rest
the anxieties which must Of necessity
have prevailed while doubt remained
