"reminiscences Of a Texas Vetcran...The
Santa Fe Expedition, etc.
by O. ERHARD.

KENDALL's NARRATIVE CONTINUED.
Shrewdly conjecturing, now that
he had raised whirlwind that he
might easily direct the storm to his
own personal Advancement, Armijo,
after the manner of his great proto-
type, Santa Anna, suddenly left his
hacienda and made his appearance in
Santa Fe. There he found every
thing in state of frightful anarchy,
the place in the hands of an ignorant
mob, and the American and other
foreign merchants in expecta-
ton that their houses and stores
would be sacked, and even their lives
taken. The rabble dispersed, how
ever, committing no other outrage
than electing one of their own leaders,
an ignorant and unlettered fellow
named Jose Gonzales, Governor OF
New Mexico. They paid no attention
to the claim set up by Armijo, the
fomenter, as he had exposed himself
in no way to the anticipated hard
blows which had given them the
ascendency.
Fooled in his ambition, Armijo
once more retired to his hacienda, q
fine estate he had purchased at
Albuquerque with the proceeds OF
his cheating stealing and gambling
transactions. But an active and
ambitious mind like his could not
long remain inert. Through secret
intrigues he managed, after tho lapse
of three or four months, to organize
a counter-revoldtion, and collecting q
numerous force, he declared in favor
of Federalism and marched towards
Santa Fe. He took quiet possession
of this place, as Governor Gonzales,
finding himself without an army, had
fed to the North. The latter soon
was enabled, however, to rally around
him no inconsiderable mob, but
Armijo, in the mean time, had receiv-
ed heavy re endorsements from the
South and succeeded in routing
Gonzales without loss, taking him
and many of his principal men pri-
soners. The unfortunate Governor
was Immediately shot, and four of his
chief officers met the same fate by
order of Armijo. The latter were
put out of the way more, it is said,
to prevent disclosures than for any
crime they had committed; for they
had been Armijo's confidential ennis
saries in the formation Of the original
plot.
The ambitious tyrant, now that
his enemies were either murdered or
dispersed, reigned supreme in New
Mexico. One Of his first steps was
to bribe the army TO proclaim him
governor and commander-in-chief
his next, to send off highly colored
account of his own exploits in favor
of Federalism TO the city OF Mexico,
and no officer can more adroitly
adopt the high-sounding fanfaranade
style in wording a dispatch or an
address than Manuel Armijo. Such
disinterested patriotism, such love Of
the confederacy, and such daring
bravery as be bad manifested could

Paris, Lamar county, where the as
sociation meets the 20th of April next,
to place a copy in the hands Of the
San Jacinto veterans present and
send copies to those not present at
the reunion. Only about one hund-
red OF seven hundred and eighty

to President David q. Burnett as
having participated in the memora-
BILE battle of San Jacinto are now
living. Capt. Reuben NJ. Potter is
now in his eighty.third year. / first
knew him in September 1882 as one
of the merchants from Matamoras
who attended the State Fair at
Saltillo, where i was from the 1st OF
April till the last Of September 1882,
then the capital of Coahuila and
Texas. In 1886 Captain r NJ Potter
was among the best friends Of the
Texans who were prisoners in Mata-
moras. In 1887 Capt Potter came
10 San Antonio and there obtained d
from intelligent Mexicans informa-
ton and wrote the sFall Of the Alamo
which is in the histories Of Texas, and
