A SKETCH OF SANTA ANA.

The Crescent City gives the following sketch
OF Santa Ana, the man who has occupied so
large space in the Mexican and Texas con.
troverSy.
We attended ball given in the city of Mex
leo, in 1888, and during the evening were
formally introduced 10 the "conqueror OF San
Juan de Ulloa!' as he was then Familiarity
denominated. He is man about feet 10
inches in height, with an intelligent counte-
ance, and has. doubtless, spent his leisure
hours in deep study. He spoke with great
fuency the French, Spanish and English Ian.
guages, and during the evening frequently
expressed to US the pleasure he felt in meeting
an American. "Your country saved me-"
said he, "from the grasp of a desperate gang
Of Texans, and the favors ] then received
will be remembered while life exists"
He spent the evening with Mr.. L, a
clerk in a mercantile house in the city, and an
American of the first water. To this young
man he expressed his admiration of the Amer
leans, and said they were the only people on
the earth who could successfully resist the
encroachments of Great Britain.
You are people who fear nothing" said
he, "and yon can, do any thing you desire
You have only to say you will do thing, and
it is Accomplishment
| In the course Of conversation he alluded to
his defeat in Texas, and said:
81 have fought men all my life, but never
came in contact with the devils before! They
completely annihlated me, and had been in
command of ten thousand men, | believe
would have been conquered!"
"You are the only nation," said he, "that
can bid defiance to the world. You do not
value your lives, and | am satisfied you can
accomplish any thing you attempt"
The above is a faithful account of an eve
ming spent in the company OF a man who has
triumphed over every obstacle in his path to
greatness, and wrote his name on the imper.
ishable altar of fame.
That he is "a cold-blooded tyrant is most
true;" but he has a thorough knowledge of Mex
lean character, and his movements are tingec
more by policy than justice. He stands on {
precipice, and knows full we'll that any devia
ton from the barbarous customs of his coun
trymen will be visited with summary indigna
ton. He considers it his duty, therefore, t.
conciliate all parties, and so far he has succee
ded admirably. His future fate is entirely
problematical, and we shall leave him for the
present, with promise 10 "serve up,'' by anc
by, number of incidents connected with hi
HISTORY.

TIE CONTRAST.

DO you see that proud, overbearng man RI
ding in his guided carriage? Look! he stops
before a magnificent mansion, and livered
lacqueyS, obedient To his nod, assist him to
descend.
DO you see that poor. miserable boy, whose
tatteled clothes scarcely shield him from the
inclemencv of the weather! Mark with a be-
seeching look he solicits the rich man to pur-
chase pencil or cord of pins; and behold,
how contemptuously he is Spuraed!
twenty-five years ago that pompous man
was poor, as friendlesS, and as wretched as
the unrich he despises.
twenty-five years have passed since that
day. The same parties met: 10! the contrast.
The once poor boy stands in the pride of
manhood, active, intelligent, rich. A lovely
woman, his wife, leans upon his arm, and three
blooming girls are by his side. Grace in eve-
ry expression, and af1luence smiles in his un-
OstentatiouS adornments.
| An old man approaches. The tottering
step, the thread bare garments, and the pain
tul expression that fret in every feature, de-
note man of want and wo. Better TO be
dead than thus TO drag a miserable existence.
This may al the first blush appear to some
an improbable romance. 1t is truth.
In a country like ours, there is no man,
however poor if aided by industry, economy,
and virtue, but may rise from the lowest rank
of society to the highest. The knowledge Of
this fact is a blessed Indictment TO the young
and cheers them to struggle nobly in the paths
which lead to honor and independence despite
the thousand obstacles that oppose their
course.
| There is no man however aff1uent, but by
extravaganza, and lax morals, may fall from
his high estate, and close his days in wo.
Let no one despise the poor because o
their poverty; let no one hatter the rich be
cause of their wealth. We may conquer pow
erty; wealth may subdue US. All men of equa
virtue, are equal. If one man possesses more
intelligence than his fellows, though that of it
self may not elevate him in the ranks of tn
good, yet it brings him added respect, an
wins a willing admiration from all men;

The existing state of things is anomalous
and embarrassing. But genuine patriotism
takes counsel only from its duty and its devo-
ton. Unappalled by difficulties, whatever
may be their magnitude, it redoubles its reso-
luton and its courage, as they increase and
multiply. and finally lriumphs over all obsta-
cles which lie in the way of the honor, the
prosperity or the happiness of the country.
The Wing party. by faithful adherence to
its principles, at the hazard of being prescri-
bed by those whom it advanced to high pow
er; and the members of the late Cabinet, by
a voluntary surrender Of exalted stations,
which they believed they could no longer hold
without dishonor and disgrace, have demon
s:rated to the whole world that with them the
love of country is paramount to the love of
Office. am sure that in the good old North
State, in which the first Declaration of Amer
lean Independence was made, there will be a
cordial response to the sentiment.
Gentlemen, let US persevere in this upright
course. 60 into retirement, but shall not
there be an idle or an indifferent spectator,
without sympathy or interest in the welfare
of the Union. only pass from one sphere OF
action, where it is doubtful whether in the &C.
tual condition of the public councils, could
render any public service proportionate to the
private sacrifices should certainly make to
! another, although, more circumscribed sphere
in which shall still find duties towards our
) common country.
request you, Gentlemen, and the Wings o
Wake County, to accept my profound anc
grateful acknowledgements for the honor done
me, by the invitation, to attend your Conven
ton and by the friendly sentiments with which
its transmission was accompanied.

SANTA Annals POLICY.

We think the policy which the Mexican
Dictator intends TO exercise towards Texas;
may be designated in a few words. As he
has not the power to invade with any prospect
of success, he intends "to modest" Texas as far
as possible. This is plainly evinced in his
letter to General Hamilton, where he declares
that the last Mexican admnistrati IN did nei-
Their what it could or should have done to mo
lest, at least, those whom their apathy or care
lessness convinced of their definitve safety"
This single sentence, we think, solves entire
lily the mystery that has characterized the late
movements at the West. The three parties
of Mexican troops that lately came into Tex
as all had similar instructions, as we are in
formed by the prisoners that were captured
at Goliad and Bexar, as we'll as by the state
ments of the Mexican officers them selves.
| The officers commanding the party that
visited Kinney & Aubrey's fort, declared that
thew had not come for the purpose of COM
mencinp hostilites Immediately, but to give
notice that the Mexican Government had de-
termined to invade the country in few
months, and that large army was then on the
march towards the frontier of Texas, to carry
on the campaign. They further stated, that
they were specially ordered to promulgate the
proclamation of Arista. The party that Wis
| tied GoIad made similar declarations; and ac-
cording TO the statement of Mr.. Jacques, the
party that visited Bexar were authorized only
to carry out similar orders. The robberies
committed by the latter party were not au
thorzed by the regular officers, and were
evidently contrary 10 the instructions of Arts
ia. From a careful investigation of all the
| facts connected with the movements of these
parties, the conclusion is positive, that they
came to mlest Texas, by promulgating th'
proclamation of Arista, and creating a new
alarm of invasion. In order to render th
alarm more effectual, three different partie
were despatched simultaneously to three diff
ferent points widely different from each 9th
er; and it was commenced just at plantn
time, evidently for the purpose of molestin
Texas as far as possible, by calling the planter
from heir occupation just at the season whe
their labors were most necessary at home.-
In the ensuing fall, we are told. the invasion
to be commenced in earnest, and our iniure
harvest are to be reaped by an army of 1000
!. or $4,000 Mexicans. This threat also is il
tended to modest Texas: for Santa Anna
aware that Autumn is the season that the la
gest number of emigrants usually arrive
t the Republic; and he wishes to check tn
source of prosperity to our country.

INTERESTING lNCIDENr.-Whie donations
were being made in relief of the Texan volun
teers, young lady, prompted probably by a
feeling OF patriotism, natural on such occa.
sions, took from her neck string of coral
beads which she presented TO the auc,oneer,
then at his vocation, in order that it might be
sold, it being the only article of value a, the
time at her disposal. II was sold and return
ed to the auctioneer by the various purcha-
sers TO be rcsol1, we understand. at least
dozen times. The last purchaser returned it
to the fair donor, but she rejected it, saying
she had presented it to the company, and did
not desire that ii might be returned. "Keep
il then, replied the purchaser. as memorial
of what it has done, and wear it in memory
of your departed friends" This is one among
the many instances that have occurred within
few days, of the disinterested and sympa-
thetic feeling Of the ladies of Memphis in be-
half of oppressed and suffering Texas.
