From the New York Globe.1
CAPT. SAMJJEI, III. WALKER,

This officer is one of those rare spirits which
e state of war will bring out from our citizen
soldiers. His late unequalled conflict with the
Mexicans, in which he lost nearly every man
under his command, and his daring heroism in
cutting his way to Gen. Taylor's camp, have
excited in the public mind strong desire to
know more of him. He is the same gentleman
SO frequently and honorably spoken of in Gen.
Green's joural of the Mer expedition. He Is
.natipe Of Washington City, from whence he
went into the Florida war, where in several
campaigns he distinguished himself by his in
trepid bravery. In 1912, he went TO Texas,
and during the invasion of that Republic, by
Gen. VOL, he was marked for his bold and
dariag conduct. After the Mexican General
had retreated from San Antonio, and when he
lay upon the Rio Hondo, Walker and Capt.
Mccullough crawled through his camp one
night and spied out his position, and the next
day with the gallant Hays, led the attack up
on his rear-guard. He then joined the cele-
brated expedition against Mier, and on the NOR
ming of that sangunary battle, he, with three
others-being the advanced scout of the Tex
ans-was taken prisoner, and carried with his
hands tied behind him to the head quarters OF
Gen. Ampudia. The Mexican General ques-
toned him as to the Texan forces, and when
Walker informed him that the Texans had on
ly three hundred men, Ampuda pompousy re-
piled: "Does that audacious handful of men
presume to follow me into this strong place
and attack me?" eyes," says Walker, snake
yourself content upon that subject, Genera, they
will follow YOU into hell and attack you there"
He was, with his comrades, then marched a
prisoner to the city of Mexico. s.,
AT Salado, with the lamented Capt. Gamer
on and DR.. Bremen, he led the attack upon the
guards, overpowered them, and marched for
Texas when, after eating up all their horses and
mules, surrendered to the Mexican Generals,
Mercer and Ortago. He was again marched
to Salado, where with his comrades, he was
made to draw in the celebrated black bean lot
terry, and every tenth man was shot. Those
that remained of the Texans were marched to
the Castle of Perote and the city of Mexico
Here, while working on the streets in that city,
he was struck by Mexican corporal for not
working faster, when with his spade he knocked
down the guards who beat him nearly to death.
