FURTHER PARTICULARS.
BY the arrival of the steamer Caspi-
an, last night, we have received furth-
er confirmation Of the defeat aud cap
ture of Santa Ana aud his army, the
particulars Of which will be seen else
where. Col. Houston who came pas
senger 10 the G. also states that it was
reported Santa Ana has made the fol-
lowing propositions to Gen. Hous 81,
for his release, viz !: That he will pay
all the indemnity for the war-recog-
Mise Texas as an independent State,
besides order the remaining part OF his
troops, at present stationed in differ
erent parts Of Texas, TO assemble i'm
Inediately, and lay down their arms,
and that Houston's reply was, that
Santa Ana, his officers, and the re-
naming part of his forces, should be
shot as soon as the latter would make
their appearance. s.

PARTICULARS OF THE CAP
TURE OF SANTA ANA,

During the night Of the 2O.h ult.,
after the skirmish between the Mexi
can and Texian forces, Gen. Houston
made movement with 600 men and
all his artillery, and at day-break met
the Mexican force, 100 or 1900 strong,
also in movement, and gained a posi-.
ton within rifle distance of the enemy,
before they were aware Of his presence.
Two discharges Of small arms and can.
non loaded with musket balls settled
The affair the Mexican soldiers then
threw down their arms, most of them
without firing, and begged for quarter,
600 or 700 killed. The officers broke
and endeavored to escape the moun-
ted riflemen, however, soon overlook
all but one, who distanced the rest
him they ran fifteen miles, when his
horse begged down in the prairie, near
the brassos timber he then made for
the timber on foot. His pursuers, in
the eagerness of the chase, dashed in
to the same bog hole, left their horses,
and continued the pursuit on foot, fol-
lowing the trail of the fugitive, (which
was very plain, owing TO the recent
rains,) until they reached the timber,
where it was lost. The pursuers then
spread themselves, and searched the
woods for long time in vain, when
it occurred to an old hunter that the
chase might, like hard pressed bear,
have "laken a tree" The tree tops
we're then examined, when 10 the
game was discovered snugly enscon-
ced in the forks Of large Ave oak.
The captors did not know who their
prisoner was, until they reached the
camp, when the Mexican soldiers ex-
claimed, "El General! Ell GJe!

let me tell the candidate for the nexs
Presidency, who is called the magi-

with the wand Of gold, TO go and learn
a prophetic lesson from the Holy b.

that through laying on The Apostles

to him, "1hy money perish Nth thee,
because thou hast thought that the eff
ofGod may be purchased with money.
Thou hast neither part nor lot in this
natter"
SO, sir, when the sorcerer or magi-
clan Of this day saw that by great
and meritorious services, by long and
faithful probation, by honest and pat
riotic devotion 10 the country, and its
constitution and liberties, alone, and
Presidency and its power, and pla-
ces, and pomp, and patronage could
be merited and won being old and
having done nothing to deserve the

was to his Gpd-snd they should be,
