I journal kept by Clonernl Tlioums
ilellerton Green, mi ollteer in tho
1 lexmi army nt that tinu1, mid
written from dny to dny us tlio
events it records transpired. 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

soon nftcr died, leaving this Ho
man legacy to their venerr.ble pa
rents. 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

A VEUY GREAT MAN.
A man riding along i road eamS
upon an old fellow who, load in
voice and violent in action, wft
endeavoring to start a balky foam.
Tho horaobnek traveler, uni'iMed at
the old fellow's productive iwmr-
ces of stjong utljeotivcs, slopped,
threw one leg over the hum of tho
saddle, and witho.it wiping any
thing sat watching tlio perfbrut
anee. The covered wagiio to which
tho team wih attached hm tho
"mover's" typical vehicle ith two
chairs tied behiiul. A womiiii,
three children, a mule colt and n
dog belonged to the outfit.
"If I just had enough moiiov i
take us lifty miles, I'd cut your
infernal throats!" the old fellow
shouted as ho loaned fur ; un.
mouts rest on u piece of rail ut'h
which he had been belaboring tho
horses. "Von can pull out of
here easy enough, you infernal
scoundrels. Why, a jaokrabbic
and a side cnt hitched up together
could pull out of here."

"why don't you hold boiuu fodder

"Confound it, didn't you sea
