General Houston.


The plan Of the campaign of 1875,
after the convention made Gen. Hous-
ton Commander-in'chie OF the rovolu-
tiontry army of Texas, was plain, and
had many reasons to back it. Gen.
Houston's first orders indicated an in
tention to concentrate all the forces.
He knew Gen. Santa Anna was in
Texas at the head of large army;
that he was besieging the Alamo with
force of nearly 5000 men. Another
column of more than 1000 men, under
Gen. Urea, was marching upon Goliad,
In order to effect junction of the
Texas forces, Gen. Houston was com
PEELED to name point to concentrate
upon, which the enemy could not reach

Had he not done so he would have vio-
lated plain military rule founded on
common sense. He would have sub
iected the little amy of Texas to de-
feat in detail, as the Austrians wore
defeated at Rivoli by the French under
Napoleon Bonaparte. The order to
Col. Fannin to abandon Goliai |, and
fall back to Victoria, was not obeyed
with promptness.
The Alamo fell March 9, 1886. On
the 18th Of MaiSh, Col Fannin detach-
ed Capt. Kings company to assist the
inhabitants of Refugio in making good
their escape from the enemy The
Texans were driven into the Mission
church. defended 1t heroically, exhaust

was sent TO rescue Capt. King; he aud
h;s one bundled men were defeated
and made prisoners by Gen. Urea at
tbe head OF at least twelve times their
nuslber. About the ZANE time, per-
Aaps a little earlier, the command OF
