A Leaf of History Sara Houston and the Bat- j tie of Sao Jacinto. !

The hopes of the brave began to grow dim and remark, wnen Houston quietly told him that it was dark, and the star of the revolution seemed to be go- his habit not tQ make two bite9 at one ciierry. mg down in gloom, to rise no more.

I complexion, a deep blue eve, and a remarkable pleasThe heroic Travis, brave to a fault, and reckless injr t ountcnance. His bearing is kind, dignified and and defiant as he was brave, at the head of one hun- j courteous, and the goodness of his heart is clearlv dred and thirty spirits fashioned after himself, occu- inticatea hy the sweetness of his smile, and the mildpied the Alamo the frontier fortress of Texas. In ness o( his eye when quite a bov he distinguished defiance to the express orders of Gen. Houston, the imself, by daring exploits among' the Indians, and commanding-chief, he determined there to await the aft,.rwaris SCTed under Andrew Jackson, in the combined shock of the legions of the despot. Cour- Seminole war, and at the battle of New Orleans, ier after courier reached the Alamo, commanding por manv vears General Houston was a member of Travis to fall back upon the camp of Houston, but cnnrr fron Tpnn..tpp nnd was r.nvprnor of that

his undisciplined spirit brooked no control, and each successive courier, bore back the reply : "We will not retreat. We will conquer or die!" The shock came! Four days and nights of sleepless battle, with unabated fury, raged around the walls of Alamo, and alter the fifth morninr s sun shone on the confused mass of blood stained ruins and bones, and smouldering ashes ol the intreped dead. No living Texan was left to tell his comnul's deed., but the huge piles of Mexican slain, with their ghastly gaping wounds tolJ with terrible certainty, that Trafil and Bowie and CrocKet, had fought, and bled, and died, if they had not conquered there. The scene in the tragic drama, was the massacre of Goliad. The ill fated Fanning, imbued with the same spirit of reckless self reliance, which proved the destruction of Travis and his command, loo long hesitated to execute the order for retreat issued by U i! wise and intrepid man, whose great mind conceived, and whose iron will achieved the revolution. Pressed on every aide by a well appointed and overwhelming foe, without supplies, and with but little ammunition, Fanning sought to fight and retreat, contesting and staining every inch of ground with the Kfc blood of the foe. But the pow er of numbers on the one side, and the want of ammunition on the other, caused Fanning to commit the unardoning error of trusting to the plighted honor of a Mexican, even though belted as a soldier. A capitulation entered into with all the solemnities of chivalric war was the result the Texan flag was furled but not in cii-grace, for the leitns of capitulation are held sacred by all but barbarous nations, and the faith of a Mexican General was pledged that the next day's tun should smile upon the Texans, as they return to ineir fire-side homes. Night passed away, and with the early beat of the morning drum, Fanning and his comrades were marched out on the plain of Goliad, to receive their release. Unarmed and unsuspecting they were conducted through the long lines of the Mexican army, drawn up to a battle array, until they we e w iiil.'w c! upon every side, by the hri-iling bayonets of the foe. A signal was given, not of rclea'sc, but of death! One wild, terrific crash was heard; a lurid cloud of fire and smoke enveloped the Texans, and all that was left of them, wa their mangled remains, weltering in tluir blood. Like the angry liowl of the storm, when it bursts upon a vvi:hern sea, the wail ol" death and the cry for vengeance, swept over the plains of Texas. The gi at heart of Houston swelled with grief and indignation; his mild blue eye, which was wont to beam wi'h gentle kindness: blazed like the Lion's, when baiting for his young; his expansive brow, darkened with the pent up storm within, and his compressed lips, told of a will, whic h nought but destiny could thwart. His little army of scarce sixteen hundred men, inspired with a wild chivalry, and imbued with devoted patriotism, capable of any sacrifice, save tint of submitting to absolute control, burned for vengeance, and demanded to be led forward against the treacherous foe. But Houston, alike great as a soldier, and statesman, hail three months before, on the plains of San Jacinto, selected the altar, on which to consecrate the libeity of Texas, contrary lo the xpectations and wishes of the army, he commenced his retreat, laving waste to the country over which he passed, and making, his movements with such skill as to completely bewilder the enemy. 11L troops uttered loud murmurs against his policy, and in tones of tlireatning mutiny, demanded that a stand should be made at the Colorado, declaring that they would disband, unless the loe were jnen battle llaiiitnn mio-ht u, Smnrpj mon his troons the fact that battle upon ihe Colorado, was defeat to Texas lie said to them, "our cause is iut: it must and shall triumph, let those return to their homes who are not prepared to make every sacrifice for the good of Te.XJj. The next morning's dawn found less than eiirht hund.ed men bv the Texan standard. The retreat was recommenced; the scouts of Houston, watched the movements of Santa Anna's troops with eagle vigilance they began to weary, and their line of march commenced lo be marked with deserted arms and accoutrements their supplies grew short, and the Texans swept before them the wild cattle of the prairie, as thev pursued their march of retreat.

Facts ron Farmers. It will not do to hoe a great field for little crops, nor to mow twenty acres lor five loads of hay. Enrich the land, and it will pay you for it. Better farm twenty acres well than fifty acres hy halves. In dry pastures dig for water on the brow of a hill; springs are more frequent near the surface on a height than in a vale. The foot of the owner ,'s the best manure for land. It is best to cut grain before it is fully or dead ripe. When the straw immediately below the grain is so dry that on twisting it no juice is extracted, it should be cut. For then there is no circulation of juice to the ear. Every hour it stands uncut after tins stage, is attendee' with loss. Obtain good seed, prepare your ground well, sow early, and pay no attention to the moon. Accounts should be kept detailing the expense and product of each field. When an implement is no longer wanted for the season, lay it carefully aside, but first let it be well cleaned. Cultivate your heart aright, as well as your farm ; and remember 'whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap.' De not begin farming by building an extensive house nor a spac ious barn, till you have something to store in it. Keep notes of all remarkable events on your farm. Recording even your errors, will be of benefit. Good lences make good neighbors. ExH?riinents arc commendable, but do not become an habitual experimenter. Sijeep put into fresh stubbles are apt to be killed by eating loo much grain. One animal well ted is of more value than two poorly kept. Sow clover deep, it secures it against the drought. Ground once well ploughed is better than thrice poorly. Bountiful crops are mot e profitable than poor ones. Make the soil rich, pulverize it well, and keep itclean ; and it generally will be productive. Cows well led in winter, give more milk in summer. . When you see Ihe fence down, put it up; for if it remains until to-morrow it may rain. A strong horse will work all day without food, but keep hint at it and he will not last long. To Cook Parsnips. Persons who have never eaten parsnips cooked according to the following mode, have no idea what an excellent dish they are. Scrape ihe parsnips wash and slice them lengthwise; boil in ju.d w ater enough to cover them when thoroughly done. Then put in a piece of butler, with a little alt and pepper. Beat up an egg with a spoonful of flour, and pour over them ; they are then ready to dish up. Parsnips arc likewise very good, split once and roasted with pork in dripping-pan. Ricn Blaxcmaxgc Boil half a pint of whole rice in as little water as possible, till the grains loose their form and become a soft mass. Next put it into a sieve, and drain and press out all the water. Then turn it into a sauce-pan, and mix w ith it a large half pint of rich milk, nnd a quarter of a pound ot powdered sugar. Boil it again (ill ihe whole is re duced to a pulp. Then remove it from the fire, and stir in (while hot,) a wine rlass of rose-water. Dip your moulds in cold water, and then fill them up with the rice; set them on ice, and when quite cold, turn out me oiancmanire, ami serve it up on ciMies w ith a saucctureen of sweetened cream flavored .vilh nutmeg. Or you may eat with a boiled custard, or with wine sauce. You may mould it in large breakfast cakes. A Spooxful Pcddixg.

Till they'll fight the more severe? What is now your wild ambition Would ye see this nation fall? Do you think that Abolition Is the rock on which to call? Do you think it stands so strongly, Twill uphold the Union still? Do you think, though treated wrongly, Southern men have not a will? Do you think to keep possession Of the slaves that traitors steal? Or that msn will brook oppression. And never draw ih' avenging steel?

The Wife of (.encra! Jackson. The influence of this woman over her husband is said to have been very extraordinary. She was of obscure origin, and totally uneducated; yet she inherited from nature those fine and noble traits of her sex, to such perfec tion that her power was very great. Gen. Jackson was atlached to tier in early life, but by some means or other the matter was interrupted, and she married another, who proved a villain, and the connection was a most unhappy one. Gen. Jackson became interested in her, and the consequence was a divorce after which he married her. She is said to have possessed none of Ihosc accomplishments which are supposed to adorn fashionable life; reared in the back woods, seeing and knowing but little of refined society. Yet her fine person, strong affections, and rood sense, ihe three essentials of a woman, enabled her to take hold with irresistable force of the bold, strong, and fiery warrior and statesman to whom she was wedded. It w as the lion held in the embrace of the fawn. The influence she exercised is said to have bordered on the -uperstilious. He imagined that no power or act of his could succeed, or be carried out, averse to her will, or in opposition to her feelings. She seemed his guardian angel by day and by night; holding in her hands his life, his fate, his all. An intimate friend of his says, that so long as he lived, he wore her miniature near his heart, and never alluded to her except in a manner so subdued and full of reverence, that the listener was deeply impressed with her transcendent worth. Smallpoxiaua. There was rare scampering in, or rather from Montgomery, last week. The whole community was distraught, and vaccine matter decidedly more active than cotton. There was even some talk of the Supreme Court's adjourning to some uninfected locality, and we are not sure but the Judges ordered the little heart-shaped aromatic bags that some are wont to guard themselves withal, against infection. The city authorities erected two plank fences MOTON the street in front of the jail, (where the disease originated,) to protect unwitting passengers. A couple of darkies met ut this municipal barricade, and something like this colloquy was heard : "Sav, Sam, wat dis heah right 'cross de street for?" "Pshaw, Dave! you 'sc a country nigger, sure; dat's dc board ob belt!" "Go 'way, nigger! dis ain't nottingbut rough inch plank! Board ob helt finer dan dat!" Noblesville Ilailroud. We copy the following letter from t lie Peru Sentinel: Noblesville, March 30ih, 18l. Dear Sir: The Railroad to this place from Indianapolis is doing still a very fair hnsincss. During the past seventeen besiness days since the 11th inst., the receipts of the Road have heen $1,207 01; while tin ordinary daily expense of the running department is but $11 34; vh:-h iu eludes every expense of the eurs, machinery, wood, water, oil and pay of officers. One hundred and ten thousand dollars is the whole cost of the finished portion of the road including right of w ay, construction and iron. The demonstrations are clear and conclusive that even the now finished portion of the road will pay a heavy interest on tho cost; and must umpjctttionahly pay much better when linking the Capital ol our State w ith the WuhasliJkEiie canal and the Ohio river, an almost a direct line. That the Railroad will make much of its own business, let me tpeak of a trade now carried on here; Flooring plank are shipped from this pluee to Indianapolis to be dressed and planed by machinery, and then brought back agaia for use here, at a cost, for dressing, including the freight both ways, of less than one half of the mode ly hand. The stock of tho Company is being rapidly taken here. It is a fact, as is said by the soliciting agents, that the stock books have been sought after by persons wishing to subset ib, unsolicited. This is a desirable state of things: and while the hen-tils of the road must be mutual to the different communities along tho line, the Joffe must be as profitable to a citizen residing at one place as in another. If the people now manifest their interest in the road by doing a tittle, and doing that little at once, the road must move forward to a speedy completion. The whole road can be completed in twenty mouths, and will be if those that are so much interested in it do not waste time in resolving to do their duty injustice to themselves aud the county. W. J. H. Indinnn Central Railroad. At a late meeting of the Board, a resolution was adopted to allow ten percent., payable in tho stock of the Company, on all paynionts in money, labor, or materials, by stockholders such interest to continue until tho road goes into operation. This is an excellent move. It w ill not only be an incentive for stockholders to pay up promptly, but it presants r. strong inducement for the 'dciiption of additional stock. On tbe subscription j'.d payment of ten shares, ($500) the holder would bo annually entitled, until the completion of the road, to tilt v dollars, or one share. That this road will pay a good dividend, no one doubts; and, in addition to the future anticipated profits, the stockholders are sure of ten per cent, until tho cars commence running. A permanent route, u ider the direction of H. C. Moore, Engineer, has hern located from the State line to this plaee ; and it is the determination of the Board to have this seetion ready for the ears during tho early part of the Summer of 1852. The Davtnn and Westert. Railroad will be completed to the State line during the next Winter, and it in highly desirable that a connection with his Company, so as to afford an Eastern outlet, shoulc be formed äs ,;oon as possible. Centreville Whig. Singular Casualitt. A little girl aged 12 years, daughter of Mr. H. John, of Muscatine, Iowa, died in that city abont two weeks ago, from the effects of jumping tbe rope. She had jumped the rope ia the usual way 216 times without cessation.
