American Republican and Baltimore daily clipper. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1844-1846, 1846-06-01

His life was long time despaired of, and
upon his recovery, he with two companies sea-
led the walls of his prison after nightfall, and
made his way to Texas, over distance of more
than thousand miles. Before, however, they
got out of the country, they were twice more
imprisoned, and each time effected their escape.
When he had reached Texas again, he joined
Capt. Hays, who, with fifteen others, armed
with Colts repeating pistols, fought SO Canaan
ches, and defeated them, leaving sc killed upon
the ground. Here Walker was run through
the body with Camanche spear, and his life a
gain despaired of. We now hear ofhim, with
10 Texans, attacking l400 Mexcans, and all
perishing in battle but himself and six others;
and then to crown his wonderful life of daring,
he cut his way, sngle-handed, into Gen. Tay-
lor's camp from Point Isabel.
PEACE ADDRESS FROM THE LADIES OF Eng
LAND. The following add ress to the Ladies OF
Philadelphia, and of the United States general
ly, from sixteen hundred ladies of the city Of
Exeter, in England, has particular reference to
the Oregon dispute:
Beloved Friends and Sisters-The suggest
ion of friendly international addresses, in order
to deprecate war and create pacific spirit hav-
ing been extensively approved and its adoption
pressed upon all classes, we trust it will not be
deemed unseemly in women to seek, by the
same Means to influence their American sis
tiers in the cause of religion and peace.
1t may not be within our province to judge
of the merits of the question now at issue be-
tween our respective governments, but we must
feel how greatly to be dreaded would be re-
sort to arms on any subject.
Let US then, beloved sisters, unite together,
though separated by the mighty deep, in using
the influence we possess, which is not power.
less, though exerted chiefly around the domes.
tic hearth: let US seek to infuse into the minds
of our husbands. our fathers, our sons, and our
brothers, and of all around US, spirited amity
and concord, whispering peace wherever the
sounds of discord are heard: and let us, as mo-
theirs, watch over the opening minds of oul
tender offspring, and point out to them that the
way to true honor is not through fields of bat.
tie, but through the enlightened straight-for.
ward course Of justice and equity, prescribed
by the Gospel, of peace on earth and good vii
| towards men,
! You and we have common ancestry, anC
are bound together by innumerablc ties of con.
sanguinity and mutual interest; surely, then
we ought to be united in the bonds of christian
love. How shall those whose interests require
the maintenance of closest friendship, and who
ought to love as brethren, meet OIL the field O
battle to destroy each other.
Above all, let us unite in prayers to tina
Great Lord ofthe Universe, who turneth the
hearts of the children of men, that He will dis
pose the Rulers Of both countries to pacfi
adjustment of their national differences, that S
the reciprocal benefits of friendly intercours
may still be maintained, and that, under tn
benign influence OF peace, the cause of relgio
and virtue may prosper, and these two grea
nations perform their part in promoting tn
advance of that blissful period, foretold by tn
prophet, when nation shall not lift up tn
sword against nation, and the people shal
| learn war no more
With sentiments ofsncere goodwill,
We remain your Friends and Sisters"
