Of benevolent heart and an iron win, and ms
eye, which seemed TO look in[b ones very soul,
and divine 6ns,s very Thoughts; all thess eoDcm-
ed with the romance of bis history; and the pres
ltige of his name, produced animpE essioD on the
army more easily imasined than described.
Having first visited the hospitals Of the SICK
soldiers, sympathizing with the suffering and
encouraging the canyalescent, he informed Gem
eral Huston that he wished to ospeaka few words
TO the soldiers. The srmy having been formed
in close column, he appeared before them, his
lofty form towering above the column,so that the
soldiers in the extreme rear could see his face.
His eye bearned with high resolve, and his fea-
lures were marked with blending Of sternness
and sadness. His voice was deep. and solemn,
and its clear tones penetrated every 1easf. He
spoke as an upright but indulgeat would
address his erring children. Int00eh5rR pafhos
he reco6nted the scenes Of the revoIutlon; its
achievements and its reverses; and dwek upon
the sublime virtues Of magnanimity and gehefos-
ity. He portrayed TO them the condition Of Tex
as, still bleeding at every pore, and her feeble
condition requiring the protecting care q, her
children. The Star Of liberty bad safely guided
them through the storms of the revolution and
a free government had been formed out Of
chaos. @ gs
He said that the friends of tyranny were de-
denounciDs the Texans as banditti and maraud-
ers, while the friends Of human liberty were of
fering up their prayers to the throne OF the Most
High, fortheir success. That the failure or sue
cess OF the Texan Republic, would decide the
fate Of unborn millions. Appealing 10 The pat
rivtism, he called upon them 10 lend him the
moral power Of their example in establishing the
majesty of the laws. He spoke Of The sacTif-
ces they had made for the cause OF Texas, and
bade them beware how they tarnished their hon.
ors by actions unworthy Of fTeemen. As Felix
Huston had done, SO did he refer TO their friends
and kindred, whose hopes and sympathies were
with Texas-wilh liberty-he asked them if they
would disaproint those friends, and cover them
with shame and modification, instead Of render
ing them proud and happy. With magic skill
he soothed the vengeful anger excited by Felix
Huston, and spoke Of him with courtesy and kind
ness. He eomplimented the soldiers upon their
military bearing and told them, that he folded
them oil to his arms as comrades and brothers.
No shout rent The air; ITO wild huzza greeted
him as he turned away 10 return TO the camp;
but there was not one dry eye in all that column,
and manly tears, and but half restrained emo
lion, told that Sam Houston had triumphed, and
that the honor OF Texas was safe. .---
NorE.-Although the name Of Sam Houston
and Felix Huston are pronounced alike, no rela-
ii nship exists between them.

Our own Conseuuence.

+ We think OF our own consequences; our
talents; our entertainments. Wsthink what
a breach will be made when we die. We
think OF the mourners who will gather round
us with broken hearts. We. think OF the
solemn, sad procession that will 60 with us
TO tue tomb:-forgetting how seldom it is
that the hearts Of any considerable propor-
tion in funeral procession are serious and
snlemn at all, or care anything about the
dead. We look at our own affairs and press
them forward, as if every thing else should
give way to them, and as if the world had
no interest so great that they may not be
required TO yield to our convenience.
Now, how contrary all this is to truth and
reality. it is hardly necessary to attemptto
show. Few will care about it when we die;
and the world at large will care nothing,
aud know nothing about it. A very little
circle offriends will be sffected-ss little
circle of water is agitated when drop ct
rain falls into the ocean. At the center OF
that small circle of friends there will be
some deep emotion, and some tears Of gem
uine grief will be shed; at very little dis
tance, the emotion will be fainter and fee
bier, at point but little more remote there
will be none, and soon, very soon all the
agitation there was will have died away a.
when the little drops of rain fall into the o.
cean-
The gay will laugh,
When thou art gone, the Solmen brood OF care
Plod on and each one as before will share
His favorite phantom.-BRYANT.
A few friends will 60 and bury us; and
then they will turn away to their own con-
Germs, forgetful that we are sleeping in the
grave. Affection will rear a stone, and
plant few flowers over our grave-but
the hand that reared the stone or plant the
flowers will soon become unable to cut the
letters deeper as they become obliterated
or to cultivate the Aowers-and in brief
period the little hillock will be smoothed
down, and the stone will fall, and neither
friend nor stranger will be concerned to
ask which one Of the forgotten millions OF
the earth W as buried there. No "Old Nor
tality" will GO TO cut again those efiaced
words which told our name, and the time
of our birth and of our death. Every ves-
iige that we ever lived upon the earth will
have vanished away. All the little memo
rials of our remembrance-the lock Of hair
sncased in gold, or the portrait that hung
in our dwelling will cease to have the slight.
est value to any living being, nor will even
momentary curiosity be excited to know
who wore that hair, or whose countenancs
is delineated there. s f-- '--~

FIRE Companies

Our citizens are not probably aware oil the
insecurity OF protection against fire in kvans-
Vile, so far as properly organized Fire Com
panies are concerned, at this particular time.
From the nature Of a large proportion OF the
1enements in Evansville, being frame, and
the crowded condition Of buildings in business
portions of the city, there is a particular call
for we'll organized companies, with good en-
gines and hose apparatus. The fact that we
have thus far been exempt from any large
fire, has made our citizens careless, and we
have row no such protection as safety de-
mands. A few weeks back n fire broke out
in densely crowded quarter Of the city.
where the buildings were frame ard dry as
finder. By an early discovery it was quick
ly subdued But with the bells Of the city
ringing, the alarm conveyed from mouth to
mouth till the town was in a tumult, only one
Of the two engines reached the spot -Four
persons started with the other. ard after call
ing in vain, even 10 members Of the company
passing, the engine was left standing IN the
street-and had the fire really proved des-
tructive as it threatened, this engine would
probably not have been called into action at
all. We have been informed that the Phoenix
fire company has dissolved, and probably the
Neptune is not IN that full state Of organiza-
ton it should be. Oar citizens should take
immediate action, if this be the case to rem
edy the evil. There are plenty of young
men in the city, whom we Should suppose
would be pleased 10 form themselves in q
company and take the Phoenix engine. May
we not expect they will stir themselves in the
matter-call a meeting, elect officers, ant
regularly organize? In other cities no sucl
call upon them is required, but the compa
MES are generally well filed, and spirit o
emulation exists among them productive o

buildings, and that il is the business of those
who are owners. This is wrong If "a youn!
