the Journey rested off by good nights sleep.
Feeling perfectly secure that his movements
were unknown the General did no, start until late
next morning and after journey OF three leagues
again halted at the hacienda OF San Crstova, rep

country. The next place reached was I'll Plapa,

when they got opposite the first house in the edge
of the town, volley of escopeta balls came whls

the town was regularly assaied; the enemy hrlng
from every house. In some instances. we are told
it came TO q hand .to-hand fight. In short time

as were several others.
Quiet was sooo restored in the town after the
fighting was over
All the men 10 the command are highly spoken
of-the Texan rihemen and dragons have proved
themselves worthy to follow such leader.
The best feeling prevailed with all the citizens
in the towns and hacendas-quartermasters and
commissaries were along, who purchased all that
was needed from the time they left until their re-
turn TO this city.
A few more expeditions like this, and the guer-
rilla of the country will be scarce
