FANNIN.S BATTLE GROUND.

We rscently passed the battle ground where the
brave Fannin and his valiant men so fearlessly
fought their trescherous and overpowering foea.-
As we approached within few hundred yards of
the spot we observed a pile Of something which
at first supposed to be the cargo OF SOME broken
down wagon. But On nearing the place, we were
surprised to find loose pile Of stone about six feet
high There are no rocks nearer the spot than
Meuahuilla, distance of about seven miles, aud of
course this little pile that now marks that place of
sad memory, mast have been taken from there
The pile stands in the centre OF the entrenchment,
roughly put up without mortar. We know not, nor
il it known here, who PLACED it there but whoever
he is, he has exhibited noblsness Of nature and
national pride that sbides only in the boaom of the
generous and patriotic, and has set all example to
Texans that should remind them Of their duty. A
monument should be built there to mark the place
where that brave but Inflated band 80 dauntlessly
fought in defence of liberty.
Nothing can be more truly national patriotic and
pobe than the erection of this little pile so silently
done-no show-no boasing-a still and silent act,
prompted by generous love Of true vaor, to mark
the spot where his unfortunate counryman go valiant
" fought against such fearful odds.
1t ia TO be hoped that this testimonial Of national
pride will awaken Texans to a solemn duty too long
neglected., G0liad Express.

Greatly TO the beauty and attractions OF the imposing

Sixteen steamers, many of them first class, we're

Several bands of music were alec on the ground,

that is lite great length.
