Tsnecial Correspondence
AUSTIN. May 5.-"When die I want
a handful of Texas earth upon my
breast"
These words were spoken on one occa-
sion by General Albert Sidney Johnston.
His wish was fulfilled, and his grave in
the state cemetery here is full of inter-
est to the visitor. Texans especially
love to speak Of his burial here, and
point with pride to his grave. simple and
unpretentious as it is.
Albert Sidney Johnston loved Texas,
and whatever concerned her honor or
happiness enlisted his warmest SYM
pathies. His first connection with Texas
affairs began during the revolt Of this
state against Mexican authority and
tyranny. Joining as a private trooper,
he was rapidly promoted until finally ap-
pointed to entire command of the Texan
army. During Lamar's administration
as president, Johnston was appointed
secretary of war. He resigned this posi-
ton in 1910, visited the United States,
then returned to Texas and spent a num-
Der of years in retirement upon his plan
tation near Galveston island. He is
next heard Of as colonel of the First
Texas rifemen during the war between
the United States and Mexico. Then he
was appointed paymaster in the United
States army, and in 1866 was made col
onel of the Second cavalry, which was
intended for active service in Texas.
His resignation of his command in Cali
fornia in 1861, journey across the waste
of desert and wilderness to Texas, final
arrival at Richmond, the Confederate
center, and assumption there of the COM
mand of the Army of the Tennessee are
well known facts in history.
The death of Johnston at the battle of
Shiloh, just at the moment Of victory,
when he saw the foe receding and felt
convinced that the day was won, has
been often described. He died as the
true soldier prefers to die-on the battle
field, and with the shouts Of his COM
rades still ringing in his ears. His death
was a terrible blow to the Confederacy,
and many claim that it sealed the fate
of the south.
The removal of the remains of the
dead general to Texas is often spoken
of by those who were living here at that
time. 1t will be remembered by many
that after his fall upon the field of Shi-
lSh his body was carried to New Or
leans and inferred in tomb in St. Louis
cemetery. On account of the capture of
that city it remained there until the con-
clusion of the war
On Oct. 1, 1865, the legislature of
Texas appointed committee to proceed
to New Orleans after, the adjournment
and arrange for the removal of the re-
mains of General Johnston to Austin.
They were to come by way of Calves

lie honor Of funeral procession would
be accorded his body. When the pro.
gramme for the reception of the remains
was published, however, the United
States general commanding the district
issued an order prohibiting it. The
mayor of Galveston appealed by tels-
graph to General Sheridan, but he also
refused to allow the programme to be
carried out. The remains were accord
ingly transported through the city to the
depot without any public demonstration.
but not without being followed by
large number of sincere mourners. At
Houston the order was not strictly en-
forced, and the people turned out en-
masse to honor the remains. The BODY
was received in the hall of the house OF
representatives at Austin by Governor
Throckmorton, and remained there in
state for several days. The last cere-
monies were attended with no parade.
tolling of bells nor sound Of martial
music, but by a quiet procession and
simple sepulture.
The state cemetery covers The crest Of
one Of Austin's hills, that roll back like
waves in every direction and command
full view of the city from the east side.
1t is a fit resting place for the body Of
the modest hero here in the bosom of
his adopted state, by the waters of the
Colorado, overlooking the grand capitol
building and in sight of the home for
disabled soldiers of the cause for which
he gave his life's blood.
The design Of the headstone is intend
ed to represent broken column, typical
of the life of him who rests beneath it.
At the base Of the shaft is this simple
inscription:

the Con6Iet-Peru Well Armed
With Rifles snd Vessels.

PANAMA, Nov. iD.AAdvices received
here from Chill sa! that war is imminent
between Peru and the Argentine Repub-
lie on the one side, and Chilli on the
other. 4 dispatch from Valparaiso says:
Peru is we'll armed, and her forces have
recently recsived 10000 Manichler rifles,
with other formidable machines OF war.
4 ChHisn gentleman just from Peru
states that the approaching war affords
the staple theme OF conversation, and a
pretense of friendship is only to gain
time.
In the Argentine Republic vigorous
recruiting of the natives and foreigners
IL prosecuted, and the Government Is with
feverish haste arming the troops.
There Is no longer a doubt Of a secret
compact against Chilli between the two
Republics, and they are only awaiting
casus belli TO throw one army into the
Arapaca and another upon the southern
frontier, while skIrmishing parties will
harass this country from the COrderil-
las.
The Chilian Government has opened its
eyes TO the threatened invasion, and has
ordered the steamer Csav to be prepared
for immediate incorporation into the
navy. Captain Pratt has been cabled TO
proceed to Valparaiso without moment S
delay.
