His companies contained as and officers the men who wcro fighting for their homes and their families, tho civil oflicers t'ao government enlisting aa privates, officers of the regular army without commands fighting in tho ranks, and young and adventurous Americans from their lu.mrious homes in "the states" battling in the cause of American destiny. The battle itiolf has often been described, But party feeling nearly always been observed in the narratives of that time. It Is Eot appropriate to touch upon these disputes here, 'fhey are familiar to readers of Texas history. General Houston's report of the bittle, wherein he Impartially attributes meed of pmlse to friends and foes Slikc, has been published annually. On this oocaiionTnE NEWS produces a short description of the battle by Mexican officer who was engaged in it and became a prisoner.

Don Pedro Delgndo of Santo Annt'a etafi, whose narrative of the invasion was procured and a translation printed by Hon. V. O. King several years ago, contains a short and graphic descriptio'n of the battle which is reproduced, vizi After stating the relative positions of the hostile armies, lie writes: "At daybreak on the the 31st hta ex- coiicTT" ordered a breastwork to be erected for the cannon. It was constructed wife packsaddlos, sacks of hard brick, baccgage, etc, A trifling barricade of tiijnches ran aiOiig its front and rifibt camping ground of bis excellency was In all rtsjmcta against military rules.

Any youngster would have done better. "We had the enemy on onr right within tha wood at long musket range. Onr front, although level, was exposed to the flre of the enemy, who could keep it up with impunity from liis sheltered position. Botreat was easy for nim on his rear and light, while our own troops had no space for maneuvering. Wo had in our rear a email grove reaching to the bay shore, which extended on our right as far as New Washington.

What ground had we to retreat upon in case of a reverse? From sad experience I answer, none! A few hours before the engagement I submitted to General Castrlllon a few remarks on the sub- tect, by my limited knowledge. But he answered: 'What cau I do, my friend? I know it Tvell, but I can not hslp it. Yon know that nothing-avails here against the caprice, arbitrary will and ignorance of that This was said ia an impassioned voice, and in closo proximity to bis excellency's tent. "At 0 o'clock a. m.

General Cos came In a reinforcement of about 00 men. His arrival was greeted with the roll of drums and with joyful shouts. it was represented to bin excellency that these men hud not slept the night before, he instructed them to stack arms, to romovn tholr and to go Co sleep quickly in the adjoining grvie. "No important incident took place until 4 p. At this fatal moment the bugler on our rigbftslgnalcd tho advance of tba enemy on that wing.

His excellency and staff wore qsleep; the- greater number of tho men woro also sleeping; of tiie rust somo were eating; others wore scattered in tho woods In search of boughs to prepare shelter. Our line was composed of musket stacks. Onr cavalry was riding bars back to and from water. I stopped upon some ammunition bnxei th6 bettor to observe tbo movement of the enemy. I saw that their formation was a mere line in one runk and very extended.

In their center was the Tesas flag; on both win, man front overlapping our loft. "In this disposition, yelling JnriouBly, with a brisk lire of grnpe, mr.Skets and rifles, they advanced resolutely upon our camp. There tht utmost cocfuslou prevailed. General Castrillon shouted on one side; on another, Colonol Almonte was giving orders; somo cried out to commence firing; others to lie down to avoid grape- stiota. Among the latter was his excellency, already I saw our men flying in small ronps, terrified and sheltering themselves ehlnd large trees.

I endeavored to force some of them to fight, b'ntall efforts were in vain; the evil was beyond remedy, they a bewildered and panic-stricken herd The enamy kept up a brisk cross fire arape upon the woods, presently wu hearc in close proximity tha UNPLEASANT NOI3B of tholr clamors. Meeting 'no resistance thoy dashed lightning like upon our deserted camp. Then I saw his excellency running about In tbo utmost cxcltemen wringing his hands and unablo to give an ordor. General Castrillon was stretched on tho ground wounded in tbo leg. Colonc Trevino was killed snd Colonel Mnrcln Aguirro was severely injured.

I saw also tho enemy reaching tho ordinance train am killing a corporal and two gunners who had been detailed to repair cartridges. "On our left, and about a musket sho distance from our camp, was a numl! grov on tho bay shore. Our disbanded hen rushed for ft to obtain shelter from tho hor rid carried on all over tho prairi by the blaoil-thirbty usurpers. 1'nforttl natoly wo mot in our way an obntuule dlfii cnlt to overcome. It was a bayon not yer wldo, but rather deep.

Tho men on roach Jng it would helplessly crowd together, an' wcro shot down by tho enemy, who wa close enough not to miss his aim. It wa there that the greater carnage took plnro tho There root a number of ofHcors, with whom I wandered at raixlom, burled i gloomy thoughts upon our tragic disaster Tho enemy's cavalry surroundo tho grove, while his Infantry penotrntcd it pursuing us with ficiro anil bloodthirst feelings. Thoro tlioy killed Colonol Uatres and ifc would have been over with u.s ha not providence placed us in tho hands tbo lioblo fviid generous Captain of Cavalr Allou, who by great exertions saved us re pontodly from bulng nlaiightcrcd by tli drunken and infuriated volunteers, "At 2 o'clock (nest day) his nxcdleucy th gfmeral-in-chiof, Don Antonio Lopes feantrt Anna, arrived undor Mio charge of mounted soldier.
