Texan Santa Ec Expedition.

The day after our arrival lat San Girls
tobal, Is miles from Mexico, sum Of mo-
ney was sent out by the Mexican Govern
men,, and twenty-five cents distributed to
each man. The same amount was also
furnished the ensuing day. With this
the men could provide themselves with
food enough, in the shape Of Grejoles, tor
tiias, chile guisado and other articles
which the Mexican women brought to oar
quarters, to supply the "keen demands
of Appetite" and it was all they were al
lowed. On the third day the supplies
from the city were stopped. The fourth
day came, and still no money the fifth
likewise, and with no succor. By this
time the sulferings of such as had no mo-
ney were severe in the extreme, and the
tricks they resorted to in order TO raise
food were ingenious TO a degree, and oc-
casioned no little sport.
Among the prisoners were number of
lawyers, doctors and other professional
men-persons who, either from love of

they could obtain no professional employ
ment in Texas, had originally been ndu-
ced to join the expedition.-Among them
were also several play-ac,ors, mad wags
who finding the drama yielded them but
slim support in the new republic, had
shouldered the rifle and taken to the prai-
ries for better. Out Of such materials
1t may readily be imagined The richest
fun and frolic could be extracted, and the
story of one Of their mades, pranks will
relate.
The wags knew that among the officer,
and merchants there were many who ha,

In this way numbers of cases, some
for bad singing and others for speaking
bad Spanish, were disposed Of, and with
the proceeds the merry wags procured a
suniciency of provisions and chinguirite,
the latter a species of whiskey, to hold a
wild revel that night among the ruins of

IN their ranks. Faithful to the commands
of their general, though trembling in every
limb with eagerness, they kept up their
silent march, amid the fiery tempests as if
impelled by some god-lke power. On

OF fire froh the fort ceased not yet still
they dashed onward, charging at The poin.
OF the bayonet, over abattis and bulwark,
until the enemy, borne back by their i'm.
petuous onset, quailed before them. The
works were forced Then, and Not I'LL
then, was the death-likc silence broken.
A sound rung out from the victorious
troops, over all the thunder of the battle.
1t was heard by the head of the column
behind. and passed down the line, was
caught up by the rear, and wild shout
making the very welkin tremble, rang out
as they dashed to the attack.
The contest was short, but terrific.
Over bnlwark, battery, and PROSTATE foes.
the gallant continentals, headed by Wayne
pressed on, and driving all before them,
met the column of their little army with
an enthusiastic cheer, in the very centre
Of the enemy's works. In another mo-
ment the starry flag of America waved
riumphantly over the battlements.
The enthusiasm of the victors cannot
be described. Blu, though the contes, had
been so bloody, not a man of the enemy
fell after resistance had ceased. The phi
soners were disarmcd, guard placed over
them, and centres placed on all the com
manding positions around the works.

A Member In n cyl. y

The Springfield correspondent Of the 81. Loxis
Republican chronicles the following proceedings
in the Illinois legislature
A singular piece Of legislation took
place this day in the house. A repre-
sentative from one Of the northern coun-
ties, came TO the city widower. Al
though he has reached the age Of 81, il
seems he is still susceptible TO the atirac-
tons of the fair. One of his chums, eli
ther from love Of fun or from worse mo-
tive, induced him, some time afier the
commencement of the session, TO visit a
certain gay widow Of this neighbolhood.
After few visits. in which he was al
ways accompanied by his friend, he Of
fered himself as suior for the lady's
hand-was accepted, and the marriage
was celebrated about two weeks since.
A few days, however, served to convince
our hero that he had been egregiously
duped, and that his oilicious friend had in
fact palmed his cast off mistress upon
him. A rupture, followed by an entire
separation, was the immediate result and
bill divorcing the member from his wife
was reported yesterday morning from one
Of the standing committees, and passed
the house like flash, amidst much merri-
ment. Neither the husband nor the
friend was in his seat.
II should be observed, however, that
the above gives only one side of the sto.
ry. The bill passed through tho house
without any complaint from the one party
or any evidence of guilt against the others,
and, for aught that appeared TO the con-
trary. the lady may be perfectly innocent
and bsameless. This ground was taken
i'll the senate by Mr.. Baker, who deliver
ed strong speech against the passage Of
the bill, and succeeded in defeating il. So
the member from may realize the
correctness of the remark, that those who
marry in haste may repent at leisure.

An Eeyna Prayer.--The following capital an
ecdoe is related of Colonel Harry Babcock, late
of the United States army, who was an educated
man, of brilliant oratorical powers. though some-
what eccentric personage:
On certain time when his regiment
was formed for prayers, it was announced
that the chaplain was unable to attend
through sudden indispositon. The co..
lionel instantly assembled the drum-pulpit,
commanded attention, assumed rcvcren-
tia! attitude, and bust forth in a strain of
the most impassioned eloquence. Sup
plicatlon on supplica,ion for every earth
ly blessing, and the conversion of both
.jew and Gentle nations, were offered up
in sublimity of language and manner me-
yer before witnessed. Then, after an ap-
proprlate pause, he proceeded !: "And for
our enemies in particular, O Lord, we he
seecli thee TO hear our prayer, that they
may see the error Of their WAYS, and be
speedily brought TO n sense Of justice, in
end Of their oppressive and wicked usur-
pations. But, if not, Changing his voice
and manner to corresponding degree
then, o Lord, brace our hearts, nerve our
arms, and permit MS TO take vengeance in
to our own hands )" here Of sudden lsc
came 10 an abrupt pause Of SOM few mo-
menls. Then breaking forth anew, in a
contrasted style Of oratory, he added
"But o Lord, what shall we say Of those
cursed Indians? p Damn EN- all. Amen"
The amen was responded 10 by every
one, and followed by three loud hu.zas.
