GALLANT EXPLOIT OF GEN. LAMAR.
1t is perhaps not generally known that the cele,
brated Lamar owes much OF his success in the mhi-
tary and political world to single gallant exploit
performed by him at the battle of San Jacinto Al
most all great men have been indebted TO some
casual circumstance to suggest and guide the course
OF their after life; and SO too has it been with La
mar. ~
The fortunate and GLORIOUS chance which led to
Iama's attainment of the highest military rank
his countrymen could bestow upon him, and after
wards to the highest civic honurs, was as follows:
MIraheau b. Lamar. native of the State OF
Georgia, ana an adopted citizen of Texas, entered
the battle San Jacinto as private dAgoon Dur
ing skrmish With the enemy's cavalry, on the
day preceding the battle, the horse of Lamar wild
and lmpetuous animal, carried his equally impetus
ous rider al full gaIlop away from his own cnm-
panions into the very centre o troop of Mexican
horse The young dragoon was Immediately sur
rounded and though fighting desperately, was made
prisoner and pacedin the custody oftwo MeXicans,
also Dragons. In his position, Lamar remained for
some time anunwillng spectator of the fight which
was now becoming general
1t was an irksome positionto one possessing the
feelings ofthe young Georgian, and re resolved to
free himself from his guard perish in the attempt
He was still uron horSeback--a huge dark looking
Mexican on each side of him:- but he had been de-
prived of his sword when captured, and was now
altogether uuarmed. Each Of the dragons wore
large sabre at his belt and on one Of these the eyes
OF Lamar became fixed Graspng the belt with
ereeeagerness, the young Texan succeeded in Sc
curing both sword and scabbard, and then drawing
the former, he put spurs to his horse and galopped
off towards his own comrades pho were, from their
position, witnesses of the feat ut Lamar was not
destined to reach the Texan lines without fGhing
