1t gives us great pleasure to republsh from this
ng's Baltimore Sun the following account of the honors
which have been justly paid to the heroic who have
fallen in the service of their country Those who have
risked their all, who have shed their blood, who have
offered up their lives on the altar of the nation
titled to all the honors which can be paid to them We
have seen Walker-we have briefly conversed with him,
though not intimately acquainted with him; but
appreciated his character. and now see the sacrifice
he has made. We once published sketch of his life
from the pen of who knew him well; and the last
achievements OF his fe and the last stroke of fate show
how worthy he OF the fame which he had acquired
in the character of Texan Ranger-a cops OF men
whose enterprise, daring, chivalry, horsemanshp, skill
the of arms and heroic qualities place them upon
par with the boldes pioneers of the western forests
whose feats are the wonder of Europe.
