A HISTORICAL GUN.-We gave few days |
ago some account of a brass piece which we
saw on board the steamer Chancellor, frLm
on its way up the river. The |
piece is handsome brass SO FOUNDER, nd |
has the French Bourbon crown and Bour-
BON CIPHER Handsomely engraved upon it.
The only popularity in its appearance is
he existence OF two handles at the centre
# gravity, intended, we suppose, to faciii-
ate moving or transport. This piece was
last in France in 1853. 1t was brought to
his country to assist in the Revolutionary
var by Lafayette, and landed in Charleston
IN the 25th of April, 1777. The gun was
sed in some of the battles of the Revolu-
ion, and went next to New Orleans, and
vas in service there in the war of 1912,
Vhen Jackson defended that city. When
he Texas revolution occurred company of
americans who went from New Orleans in ,
he spring of 1886 to assist in the struggle, ;
ook it with them, and there it was mount
d on the walls of the Alamo, place made r
honorable by the celebrated massacre, on +
'hich occasion this gun fell into the hands !
the Mexicans, who used it in their num-
erless brawls and revolutions. In their
ands it travelled to the City of Mexico,
here it again fell into American hands, be- |
lg captured by General Scott when he took ]
lat city. When the rebellion occurred |
ew Orleans artillery company brought the v
IN to Vicksburg, and it was used in the
eye there. At the fall of that place it fell, a
course, into the hands Of General Grant, d
Id it now goes North as trophy. t
