MEXICAN BRAVERY AND MEXICAN
CHINAIRY.


San Antonio, under the Mexican Govern
mcnt, was the capitol Of CoahuiIa aud Tex.
as. 1t contained 6 or 1000 souls, and had
usually garrison Of from 500 to 1000 sol
dlers. The Camanche Indians generally
paid them visit once ia or 3 years
Whenever they made their appearance, they
not only levied heavy tribute on the
MeSIcans, TO compel them to buy peace,
but ndulged in all kinds of excuses insult
ing the wives and daughters Of The Next
cans before their eyes. This The Meslcans
put up with rather than risk war with
them and the Camanches always went off
well stocked with pIunder.
On one occasion, two years before the
Texan revolution broke out. and when the
MeNlcans had nearly 1000 troops station.
ed al the place, company Of 500 Canaan.
ches made their appearance, and as usual
demanded tribute from the town. They
had With them hundred and fifty mules
which they packed with blankets, cloths,
beds, arms, ammunition, &c. Or indeed any
thing which they wished to select from the
well stocked stores OF the Mexican trader.
Ga tins occasion there happened TO be in
town Shdunee SquaT, the wife OF a chief
She attracted the attention of a Camanche
warrior who attempted to take some hber
ties with her. She broke loose from HIN
and escaped from the city, and reached the
camp Of her people more than 40 miles of
before the next morning. The whole force
oil the Shawnee nation amounted to IS war
rTors and the present company only NUN
bered %. But when they heard from the
wife Of this young Chief, that she had been
Insulted BY a hated Cdmanche, all burned
for 40 opportunity of aYenglng the insult.
This squaw had taken the precaution To
ascertain the road they would probably take
on the egress FROM the city and now gladly
undertook the task OF conducting them 10 d
place where she knew they would pass
The Shawnees took their position about {
miles from San Antonio, and remained con
cealed IN thick copse OF woods till tht
Camanches made their appearance. They
suffered them TO pass until they encampet
for the night.
Just as they hobbled their horses anC
mules, and turned them out to grass anc
disposed of all their bales of goods in con
venlent places around their camp fires, The
Sha~nees made their appearance. Alter
giving them one fire with their rifles, by
which every Shawnee brought down his
man, they boldly dashed among their enc,
MES tomahawk in hand. The Canaan.
ches fled in every direction. They how.
ever rallied their forces, and made another
effort to regain their camp, but we're again
repuIsed. The Camanche chef, then flew
back to town, and threatened TO extermi.

AN INGENOI}S TRICK.

An English paper relates the following
ingenious mode Of " raising the wind" prac-

inhabitants Of country town, not long
since /:
"A foreigner, named Vogel, celebrat-
ed flute PLAYER, advertised concert for his

And were not mov'd BY concord OF sweet sounds,
he announced that between the acts he
would exhibit an extraordinary feat never
before witnessed in Europe. He would
hold in his left hand glass of vine, and
would allow SIX Of the strongest men in the
town TO hold his arm, and notwithstanding
all their efforts 10 prevent hlm, would drink
The vine So novel and so surprising a
display of strength, as II was naturally re.
garded, attracted very crowded house,

immediately advanced to the stage, and
