GENERAL SAN HoUsToS.-In the late discussion which
took place IN Harrison county, Texas between General
Sam Houston and Mr.. Wigfall the latter gentleman COM
painng that the hero of San Jacno had called him on,
Of bis nsme, by styling him "M Wggleia" begged that
he might be excused for Supplying the dsting
senator the familiar ahbrevation Of .Sam" He knew il
would be pleasing TO the gentleman himself be styled
anecdoie he would relate would show. On the re-
turn OF General Houston from his old friend the
Hero Of the Hermitage, it happened that friend dropped
in ihe honorable senator. 90 entering his ROOM
the astonshmeni of the visier find the Texan
senator apparently sunk in grief and bahed ANY
dear Geners exclaimed his friend what is the matter
what sorrow Expresses you, what grief .resses you
deepiy!" "Oh my dear friend" exclaimed the great
Texan sobbng and bubberng with the deepes anguish
"I-I-I have just. just return-Oh ED from the-oh
dear me-,he Hermtsge-the resdence-of my old-Oh!
Oh! o! o. friend, General Jackson; and parted to
meet perhaps more in this sinful worId-Oh me! my
dear friend he addressed by the of General
or Mister Samuel Houston-but, my dear friend
he called me by the endearng by which my mother
knew me-he called Sam! Sam SAM!li" And
here the hero Of San Jscnto burst into of
grief TO choke oil utteance and induce his friend to
unite his with his until the swollen torrent of their
sorrow flowed strong enough to turn a mill wheel
The audience convulsed with laughter this story
and seemed enjoy it than General Houston
himself who and begged to interrupt his eloquent
opponent for moment merely to say that he would make
childs bargain with him-if he would again call
him by the endearing Of Sam, he would never call
COL w. "Wiggetail" again.
