Capture Of The fortress Of San .4ntonio
The New Orleans Bee thus announces
the capture of the fortress of San Antonio,
and the termination for the present of the
war in Texas:
st. Antonio, the fortress of the despot
Santa Anna, in Texas, has fallen. This
event took place on Thursday, Dec. 10.
On the Saturday previous, (the 5th,) 300 of
the Colonial troops entered the Town of
San Antonio, under the command of Col.
Benjamin r, Milan. They could not at
first get possession of the public square,
owing TO the walls and bitches across the
mouths of the streets, each of which was
likewise defended by two pieces of artil-
lery, and i'll consequence of this, they oc-
cupied some building and tops of houses
adjacent. Here they remained battling
unceosingly night and day, until Wednes-
day the 9th, when they forced their way
into the square, and drove the enemy across
the river into their fort called the 'Alamo.'
In these relative situations the battle con-
linued until The 10th, (Thursday,) when
the enemy capitulate9. BY the capitula-
ton, upwards Of one thousand yielded to
less than three hundred. The town itself
was surrendered with "a pieces of brass
artillery, l,9UU rounds of POWDER ball,
grape, aud canister, with the public stores
of every description. This glorious con-
quest was achieved, with the loss on the
part of the conquerors of only 3 killed and
30 wounded, while the loss of the enemy,
in killed, is variousy estimated at from 90
10 $50. But the joy of triumph was sadly
diminished by the circumstance that the
brave Milan, the dauntless leader of the
storm, was among the slain. lie fell, by n
ball through his head, while fearlessly ami
mating his men to victory. Long, long
will Texas and the friends Of liberty lament
his fate! Among the gallant band who
stormed the town, were more than 100 vol
untecrs from the United States. The New
Orleans Grays and Blues constituted II
great majority of these, and the remainder
were from different parts Of the State of
Mississippi.
General results Of the Wdr.
Thus, in the short space of two months,
have an undiscipIined and inexperienced
people reduced by storm the only three

every hostile soldier ont OF Texas, with q
loss of only five in killed, and with loss

learned, by an express from St. Marks, that
one hundred and three Irish laborers arrived
at that place yesterday from St. Josepth's
railroad, and in the evening commenced a
riot, bidding defiance to the civil authority.
A severe contest ensued with the citizens,
amounting to about forty men, which termi-

nately, the citizens made but little use of
fire arms, though many of the rioters are
severely wounded: fifty of them are lodged

for State Officers, and all Electoral Ticket,

port of that portion Of the Freemen, "with-
ont distinction of party Names" who are
opposed to the National Administrations"
it will be seen that the wings have fixed
upon the day and hour appointed for the
hntlmasonic Convention and from the
circumstance that no house is assigned for
the wings, the question has been asked,
Where are the wings 10 meet? viii they
80 to Jefferson Hall or to the Court
House ? or do they intend to cspouse the
principles of Anlimasons and go with us /?
Not protesting to be in the counsels Of the
Wings, we must leave these questions for
others TO answer. We feel warranted,
however, in saying to all whom it may con-
corn, that no measures are in contempIa-
ton by our party, anywise inconsistent
with the hitherto uniform and dignlfed
course of the Antimasons of Vermont. If
my are calculating by stratagcm or inlimi-
dalton to give contrary ki@, it ought to
be understood beforehand, that they will be
disappointed.
Very much is depending on the doings
of the Antimasonic convention. We again
suggest to our friends the importance of
being fully represented.
