hero lion, was in town-and the aristocracy,
those great men whose greatness consists in
noticing and being noticed by the lions Of
the day, made general rush to the ST. Charles
to pay their most obseqious respects TO the gal

escorted around town with call the honors" ;
attentions were heaped upon him with pro-
fusion becoming the fame OF the crescent city,
and all eyes concentrated upon the one object
OF attraction,-the mon in epaulettes and
plumcs, with the long sword dangling at his
side-tho glorious Walker This grand
scene lasted one day. when The gentleman was
suddenly arrested in his career of glory by the

MEXICAN TOWN TAKEN BY 90 MEN -
The Mexican town Of Micr, containing Two
thousand inhabitants, was entered on the 3lst
ofJu'y by IS regulars and S rangers, and taxi
en- wilhsut a blow The town is so situated
as TO be naturally impregnabIe, while each
house, from its construction, would have every
advantage for defence in a street fight At
this town, the gallant Texan commander, Col
Fisher, surrendered in ISIl a brave and
respectable force, after sanguinary struggle

result of the war could only be change of ty.
rants the conduct of their own government

frequent imputalions of cowardce have been
hasty and ungenerous9 The Mexican patriot
may feel too keenIy that he no longer has
country worth the fighting for.
