Editors Democratic Statesman--At
the last celebration Of the veterans Of
the Texas revolution, held In tho city
Of Austin on the 2lst day Of April last,
! noticed comments In some of the
Texas papers Of speech made by Gem
eral j, B. Robinson at the celebration,
ms being the captor of General Santa
Anna at the battle Of San Jacinto,
In 1886.
General Robinson was one Of the
party OF, think, five, with myself,
that left the main body of men, under
General Ed. Burles0n, AT Ninces
bridge-who, with volunteers, was in
pursuit of General Santa Anna aud the
straggers Of his army-on the twenty
second, the day after the hattie. Pro-
ceeding back 10 our main camp on
Buffalo bayou, We separated for the
purpose Of hunting. During our sep
aration | espied Santa Anna, but
neither Mr.. Robinson or any Of the
party was within five hundred yards Of
me when Santa Anna was captured,
they coming up u few moments after.
have always awarded the same
credit to that party that felt was due
to myself But you will find among
the archieves Of the Texas historical
society full accol,lt Of the capture, as
also what passed between General
Santa Anna and myself, In the pres
cpce OF General sam. Houston, and
nearly the whole OF our little army as
also "a complimentary card from Gen
eral Houston and the expression of
thanks and gratitude from Santa Anna
himself, to me, when captured. Pro-
badly many of the old veterans have
either forgotten me, or suppose me
dead, As left Texas IN 1913, and
have resided in this city ever since,
where have had the pleasure
of meeting many Of my old COM
rades and friends, among them my
old and honored commander and
friend, General $. sherman, who has
gone to that bourne from whence no
traveller returns" and many others
whose names are enrolled among the
"honored dead"
Make what use of this you please, as
1t is only intended TO correct histor-
zeal error, and place myself IN proper
light before the veterans.
Yours truly,
JAMES A. SYLVESTER.
The reader will remember that in
stead of General J. b. Robertson, Cap
tain Sylvester refers to Mr.. Joel w.
Robinson, an old and gallant citizen
of Fayette county.

Two men in Xeni4, one day, were en-
gagged in a dis ;u ssi IN as to BEECHER's
guilt or innocence. From this our de.
baters branched off upon the subject OF
human nature in general, its foibles,
weaknesses, and Instability under crucial
tests and, growing earnest, one off!red
to bet that there were not dozen men in
that city who could stand certain test
which he specified. The wager was ac-
cepted, twelve representative male citi-
zens designated, and to each a dainty
note, written in a feminine hand, couch
ed in seductive manner but yet polished
terms, was sent as coming from lady.
The missive stated that the writer had
seen the gentleman addressed, been i'm
pressed by his bearing and appearance,
and was anxious, &C., according to the
usual style. The writer would be
clad to meet Mr. Vanity at s~oh and Suoh
point at such time. The notes were
duly sent, and the couSpirators anxious
ly awaited the result of the affair. Much
to the chagrin Of the gentleman who a :
eepted the wager and the triumph of the
other, every one of the men to whom
notes were sent, married and single, old
and yehng, appeared at the proper point
at the exact time named.

The Wheat CrOD,

The October returns to the Depart
ment OF Agriculture show that the whea
crop Is equal to or greater than:last years
In all the States except Maryland, Vir-
ginia, Texas, Kentucky, Wisconsin, Min
nesOta, Iowa, and Kansas. In Connects
cut, Delaware, South Carolina and Hi
nois 1t Is about equal to last years crop
Other States have increased their yield.
The New England States almost reached
the splendid crop of the census year, ap.
proximating to million bushels. Maine
has increased her yield thirty three per
cent. The quality Of the crop in these
States is cosiderably improved. The
middle States have considerably enlarged
and improved their yield, New York re-
porting an increase OF sixteen per cent.
Of the South Atlantic States, Maryland
falls one per cent, and Virginia six per
cent. below last year, but their deficiency
is more than made up by other States,
Georgia showing an increase of twenty
one per cent. The quality is also i'm
proved.
