That facilities for becoming members of the

From the Jacksonville (Florida) Courier.

JUNE Q. Is36--An express arrived here
last week from Newmsnsville. thirty-five
m lies north Of Micanopy. bringing news
of the murder OF Capt. Gibbons and Nero
as they were collecting cattle on Paine's
prairie, the Thursday previous. This Ne
70 was an Indian Negro, remarkably
shrewd and sagacious. He is said TO have
been more familIary acquainted with the
language, manners, and customs OF the
Seminole Indians than any other man lv-
ing. He has been acting as guide 10 the
whites during most of the last campaign,
and il was probably owing to his sagacity
that every man with his baggage wagons
was not cut off few months since at
Black Point, on the same prairie and with
in a few miles of the very spot where he
lost his life. The Indians have long
sought TO kill him, and he has at length
fallen, being shot plump through the
heart, he fell without struggle or
groan. Some years since he resided a.
mong the lndians-he acquired all their
shrewdness aud cunning and was rather
a fayorite, until he accidentally killed one
of them 10 a scufIle. He went TO st.
Augustine and delivered himself to the
civil authority, was tried and acquitted ;
since then the Indians have been con-
stsntly seeking TO destroy him. but he
had by his vigilance eluded all their Gun.
ming until now, although he has evel
since resided and hunted in their vicinity

excited against Houston, and to avoid
public opinion, as he himself said, he
became an exile in Arkansas. Many

year of two in Arkansas, he became
engaged IN some army contracts which
once more introduced him to the walks

these contracts, he was charged with

justly merited all he received but for
all this, from the moment of the out

Texian war, Houston was looked upon
by the American people as base,

the practice of the law in Natchez

SKETCH OF SANTA ANNA.

toOlue particulars vi lhlS pclSOudSe
which we have derived from gentlemen
intimately acquainted with him, may
be interesting to the public.
Santa Anna is about IL years Of age
and was born in the city Of Vera Cruz.
His father was Spaniard Of old Spain
Of respectable standing, though poor !;
his mother was Mexican. He recei-
we'd common education, and at the
age Of 13 or IA was taken into the mi>
litary family of the then lntendant of
Vera Cruz, Gen. Davila, who took a
great fancy to him and brought him
up. He remained with Gen. ID. until
about the year 1920. While with
Davla, he was made a Major, and
when installed he took the honors We
ry cody, and on some of his friends
congratulating him, he said, "si mi hi
ciera dos quisiera estar al go mas. y
If you were to make mo God, |
should desire TO be something greater.
This trait developed at SO early PEI
riod of his life, indicated the existence
of that vaulting ambition which has e.
yer since characterized his life.
After serving the Spanish Royal
cause until 1921, he left Vera Cruz,
turned against his old master and be-
nelactor, and placed himself at the
head Of some irregular troops which
he raised on the sea coast, near Vera
Cruz, and which are called Jarochos
in their language, and which were de-
nominated by him his Cossacks as they
are all mounted 81 armed with spears.
With this rude cavalry he besieged
Vera Cruz, drove Davilla into the cas-.
tie of San Juan d'Ulloa, and after hav-
ing been repulsed again entered at a
subsequent period, and got entire pos.
session of the city, expelling therefrom
the old Spanish troops, and reducing
the power OF the mother country in
Mexico to the walls ofthe castle.
Subsequent to this Davila is said to
have obtained an interview with Santa
Anna, and told him he was destined to
act prominent part in the history OF
his country, and now, says he, l will
give you some advice: "Siempre way.
is con los muchos" always go with the
strongest party.] He always acted
up to this motto, until. he raised
the grito (or cry,) in other words,
took up the cudgols for the monks, fri.
ars and church. He then overturned
the federal government and establish
ed central despotism, of which the
priests and military were the two priv
| LEGGED orders. His life has been from
the first of the most romantic kind,
constantly in revolutions, constantly
victorious, until the last fatal recon
| ire.
The following striking anecdote Of
Santa Anna illustrates his peculiar ma
nagement and quickness. During the
revolution of 1929, while he was shut
up in Oxaca, and surrounded by the
Government troops, and reduced to the
utmost straits for the want OF money
and provisions, having very small
force, there had been in consequence
of the siege and firing every day thro
the streets, no mass for several weeks
He had no money and hit upon thu

AsrcpoTE OF GIN. HARRIsors FATHER.

ANEcpoTE OF Gen. HARRIsors II ATHEE.
In the Biography of the SIgners Of tho
Declaration Of Independence, an incident
is recorded, which, with the explanation
we are enabled to add, is highly illustra-
tive of the disinterested love OF country
which animated the public men Of that
day: When MIR. Hancock was appointed
to succeed Peyton Randolph as President
of Congress, il is said, that with mo-
desty not unnatural at his years, and
consciousness Of the difficulty he might ex-
perience in filling station OF such high
importance and responsibility, he hesita-
ted to take the seat. MIR. Harrison was
standing beside him, and with tho ready
good humor that loved joke, even in the
Senate house, he seized the modest candi-
date in his athletic arms. and placed him
10 the Presidential chair; then turning to
some of the members around, he exclaim-
ed, We will show mother Brittin how
little we care for her, by making Massa-
chusetts man our President, whom she has
excluded from pardon by public proclama.

Of the members Of that Congress wished
TO call MIR. Harrison to the chair, vacated
by the death of bis brother in law, feyton
Randolph, but with noble self denial. ana
