Anecdote of General Houston.

A very amusing incident was re-
lated to us by several citizens of Tex
as, which we do not remember to
have seen in print. The field ofSan
Jacinto is an open prairie, slightly
waving, so that the position OF the
Mexicans was on an eminence, flank
ed by an island of timber on one
side, and the river on the other.-
Their lines could be distinguished
from no other point but the timber;
and when the charge was resolved up
on, Gen. Houston ordered the troops
10 advance in quick time. and at the
flash Of the enemv's artillery, II drop
80 as to avoid the shot. The order
it seems was understood BY all the
Texan soldiers, except a man by the
name of Love, formerly of Morgan
county, Georgia. He was rushing
on to the Charge. in close column
with the rest. when at the discharge.
of the Mexican cannon the Texans
were all PROSTATE except Love. vino
fancied himself the only survivor
Of course he thought it useless to
contend single handed with Santa
Annals whole army; that there was
a limit 10 every thing beyond which
ii would be folly in the bravcst, to
go; and hat the greatest amount of
good he could do. would be 10 convey
the tidiugs, with all despatch, to the
waggon-masters and guard about a
mile of, that erery soul IN General
Houston's army, waS stain. and that
he alone miraculouslv escaped!
After the battle was over. General
Houston was told that only one of
his men had run. He directed him
to he brought into his presence, and
expressedhis modification, nj his daS-
tardly conduct. Love explained his
ideas at the time; protested that he
was ignorant Of the general order TO
fall at the flash of the cannon, and
that the scene appearcdto him as a
universal slaughter. and that his soil
tarv arm could make NJ impression
on the enemy. Gen. Houston re-
piled. "WeII, my friend, it may be
so, but it has been very unfortunate

what he has accomplished in this re-
