It wns oncu tlio property of tho wife of the lust president of tho I.ono Star republic, na the name, Mrs. Anson ironed, written on a blanlc leaf, indicates. That fact, howev or, is not of such interest as tlio following narration of the iuliu innn atrocities following the battle of .Moir, fought DecoinTjor !2i and 20, 18-12. Tlio declinator, Colonel Domin go lluertn, was specially nomina ted to this black deed after Gov crnor Moxin refused its execution. The decimation took place by the drawing of black and white bonus from a small earthen mug. The white ones signified exemption, and the black ones death. One I in ml red and lifty-nine white bears were placed in the bottom of the mug, nnd buventeen black onus placed upon top of thum. The henna were not stirrid, and hud so slight a shako that it was perfectly clear that they hud not Leon mfted together. Such was thair anxiety to execute C'aptnin Cameron, and purlin pa the otucr ollicers were made to draw a beau each from the imiii in this condi tion. Cameron said, with his us mil coolness: "Neil, uoys, we have to draw; let's bo at it." So Huyiii'', he thrust his hand into the mug and drew out a white bean. Next eamo Colonel V. l Wilson, who was chnined . to him; thou Captain William Kyau, and then Judge K. M. Gibson, all of whom drow white beans. Next eanie Captain Kastluud, who drew the first, black one. They all drew their lots with that manly dimiity nnd ti nil liens which showed them superior to their condition. Some of I it'll tor temper jested ovor the bloody tragedy, none showed change of countenance. As the black beans failed to depress, so did tho white ones fail to elate. The knocking olT of the irons un the unfortunate alone told who they wore. Poor Robert leard. who lav iinon the L'rouiid exceedingly ill, said to his brother Y l II mill , as lie hnnded mm a drink of water, "Hrother. if you draw a black bean I'll tuko your place, for 1 want to die. uiSo, replied the hrother, "I will keep my own place. I am stronger and better able to dio than you." The noble NOTICE. In tho inut tor of tho ostnto of Win Ax deceased. To a i.i. Whom it .May Coxokiin. Notiuo ia hereby given thnt Maiy 1).

Sovoral of the Mexican olltcers who olliciatcd at this cruel viola tion of their country's faitli, ex- presseo great uissntisiaction mere ut, and some wept bitterly. Soon after tho drawing the fa. ted were placed in a sopnrato court yard, where, about dark, they wore executed. Sovoral of out men were allowed to visit the un fortunate previous to tho execu tion to receive their dying re quests. Poor Mnjor Cocke, when ho drew the fntal bean, held it be tween his thumb and fore-fiuger Nvith a Kiuile of contempt, and said : "Hoys, I told yon so; I never failed in my life to tlraw a prize;" nud then said to Judge Gibson: "Well, Judge, my to my friends that I died in grace; they only rob mo of forty years.'' Henry Whaling, one of Camer on's best fighters, us he drow his black beau, snid, with as bright a look as ever lit a mull's counte nance: "Well, thyy don't make much olT of mo, anyhow, for 1 know that 1 have killed 25 of the yellow bellies." Whaling was shot fifteen times ere ho expired. I'oor Torrey, a youth, but in spirit a hero, said he was perfect ly willing to meet his fate. He said to a mexica'n officer: "After the battle of San Jacinto my family took ono of your youths prisoner, reared ami educated him and this is our requital." r.dward hste spoke of his fate in the coolest manner possible. Cash said: "Well, they mur dered my brother with Cononel Fannin, and now they are about to murder me." J. L. Jones snid to tho interpre ter: "Tell tho oflleor to look upon men who are not afraid to die for their country." So, t.oo, Captain Eastland, Ma jor Robert Dunham, James Og den, Robert W. Harris. Just previous to thu firing they were bound together with cords, and their eyes being bandaged, were set upon a log near tho wall with their liaeks to thoir execution ers. They nil begged the olllcer to shoot them in front and at a short distance. This he refused, and to make his cruelty as refined as possiblu lired at several paces, and continued the firing from ten to twelve minutes, lacerating and mangling these heroes in a man ner too horrible- for description. (Jur interpreter, who was per mitted to remain w ith them to the last, says that 15 times they wounded that iron -nerved soul, Henry Whaling, and wonl H-cind that providence had a special care in prolonging his existence, that he might demonstrate to Ihh ene mies the national charnct.0 they had to contend with; for he gra ted his teeth at and defied them in terms of withering reproach, un til they placed u gun to his head iiid blow his bruins amiinst tho wall. ( During thu martyrdom of tho patriots thu main body of our men were separated from them by it stone wall fifteen feet high, nnd heard their last agonizing groans with feelings of which it would bo a mockery to attempt a doerip- Hon. I'lio next morning as thoy wore marched on the road to Mexico they passed the mangled bodies of thoir dead comrade., whoee bones now lie blenching upon thu plains. of Salado, a perishing remem brance of exulted patriotism, Out a lasting one to the infamy of their president, Sam Houston, who caus ed them to bo fntVoly executed as robbers nud murauders upon Mex ico.
