In 1840 George W. Grover, a young man who had just " served his time" in the Cincinnati Type Foundry, sought the infant Republic of Texas in quest ot adventure, and he lound it, for he was a member of the ill starred Santa Fe expedition. Mr. Grover is still a resident of Galves ton, and in an interview with your correspondent told a story of that troubled journey almost equaling that of Xenbphon's army'in its search for the sea. OBJECT3 OF THE EXPEDITION. Mr. Grover's narrative is nubstan tially as follews: In 1841 Mirabeau B. Lamar, President of Texas, con ceived the idea of opening up direct trade with Santa re, N. M., by a route then deemed much nearer than the " Great Missouri Trail," and also of bringing the greater portion of that Mexican province under tho ' protection " of Texas, being led to this determination by the belief that a great portion of the inhabitants were both ready and anxious to throw off the yoke of Mexico. An expedi tion, therefore, wa3 organized, con sisting of some 300 men, under com mand of Colonel Hugh McLeod, ac companied by a number of merchants with a wagon train laden with goods, and several Commissioners, empow ered to treat with the inhabitants of New Mexico. The country t- be trav eled from Austin to Santa Fe was an unknown wilderness, which had never before been traveled by any of the command save a Mexican named Carlos, who pretended to have trap ped on the head-waters of the Red River, and to be acquainted with tho country. George Wilkins Kendall, one of the editors and proprietors of the New Orleans Picayune, ca companied the party, in pursuit of adventure " on the boundless prairies of the West," which he got to his heart's content. INCIDENTS OF THE START. On the 18th of June, 1841, the ex pedition set out from the city of Austin, the capital of Texas, and plunged into the wilderness, meeting immense herds of buffalo, but without anything of interest transpir ing until August 1st, when they dis covered a large Indian village on the present site of Waco, in McLenan County, but which was deserted by its inhabitants on the approach of the Texans. On the 13th of August, while encamped on a stream thought to be the Brazos, bordered by a level Elain covered with grass five feet igh, the prairie took fire and de stroyed many of the wagons contain ing ammunition, merchandise, and supplies. On the 20th of August, while in a prairie near the three mountains designated by the guide as the "Three Crows," a scouting party, consisting of Lieutenant Hull and four men, who were out search ing for water, were attacked by a band of Kiowa Indians and slain to a man. The expedition continued to struggle onward, but the minds of many became imbued with the idea that the guide had lost his way and knew not how to pilot them. LOST IN THE WILDERNESS. J On the 31st of August a detach ment was sent ahead for the purpose of finding the Now Mexican settle ments which were thoueht to be not far distant, and started to cross an immense prairie destitute of trees as far as the eye could reach. After traveling several days they reached an immense chasm in the earth since known as the Palo Duro with almost precipitous hanks, and some 700 feet in depth, which, after great exertions, they succeeded in crossing only to meet witu another of like character, a few days later. The Erovisions were now about ex austed ; and the men suffered much from the pangs of hunger, but strug gled on without a guide, Carlos hav ing disappeared one night after dis covering that he had misled the ex pedition, and fearing that the Texans might wreak a summary vengeance upon him for his lack of knowledge of the country. Such were the straits to which the party was reduced that the broken-down horses were killed and eaten half-cooked and without salt, while the wolves, which watched the operation, eazed reproachfully upon the people who could thus de prive them of their legitimate prey. ON TIIE NEW MEXICAN FRONTIER. The detachment finally succeeded in reaching the Angosturas, or Nar rows of the Colorado Kiver, where the stream forces its way through an eastern spur ol tne Kocky Mountains, and shortly afterward met a number of Mexican herders, from whom they procured sheep in abundance, and were directed on the route to the village of Anton Chico. After send ing back guides to the main body, which had been left encamped near the great chasms in the prairie, the Texans determined to send W. P. Lewis, Captain of their artillery, and Secretary Ueorge Van Ness, of the Commissioners, who could both speak Spanish, to the town of San Miguel to confer with the authorities. They were accompanied by two mer chants, named Howard and Fitzger ald, and the journalist Kendall. After arriving at San Miguel the party was captured bythe Mexicans, and Lewis turned traitor a few days after, betraying the main body into the hands of Don Manuel Armijo, J Governor of New Mexico, who con fiscated their Roods, and had several of their number murdered in cold blood. Among these was Mr. Samuel Howland, whose death is thus de scribed. HOW HOWLAND DIED. His hands were tied closely be hind him, and as he passed the rest of the prisoners on his way to execu tion they could plainly see that his left ear and cheek had been cut en tirely off, and that his left arm was also much hacked, apparently by a sword. "The guard," says the eye witness, "conducted their doomed prisoner directly by us on the left, and when within three yards of us the appearance of his scarred cheek was ghastly, but as he turned to speak, a placid smile, as of heroic resignation to his fate, lit up the other side of his face, forming a con trast almost unearthly. He turned upon us another look a look full of brave resolution and in a low but distinct tone uttered: Good-bye, boys ; I've got to suffer.' A bandage was placed over his eyes, and with a firm, undaunted step he walked to the place of execution, where lie was compelled to fall upon his knees with his face to the wall. Six of tho guard then stepped back a yard or two, took deliberate aim at his back, and before the reports of their mus kets died away poor Howland was in eternity." " BRING ME THEIR EARS." After remaining in confinement for some days near Santa Fe, the Texans were started for the City of Mexico on foot, under a notorious wretch named Don Damazio Salzear, a creature of Arinijo, who had orders if any of them faltered on tho march, or were unable to proceed from weakness, to blow out their brains and cut off their ears, so as to be able to account for all who were not present at the end of the journey. These instructions were strictly carried out by Salzear, and the corpses of several Texans were left to bleach in the sands along the Jorneda del Muerte. One evening an unfortunate man named Golpin, who had joined the expedition as a merchant with a small amount of goods, was shot by the rear guard for no other reason except that he was too sick and weak to keep up. He made a bargain with one of the guards to ride his mule a short dis tance, for which, he was to give his only shirt. While in the act of tak ing'it off, Salzear ordered a soldier to shoot him. The first ball only wounded the wretched man, but the second killed him instantly, and he fell with his shirt about his face. His ears were cut off, and his body was thrown to the wolves. CONCLUSION. After reaching the City of Mexico the Texans were scattered through out different prisons, a number being confined in the Castle of Perote, a fortress between the City of Mexico and Vera Cruz, and were subjected to the greatest indignities. Through the intercession of the United States Government they were released after a couple of years' imprisonment, and those who survived the brutal treatment of the Mexicans made their way back to their homes ab solutely penniless. Colonel McLeod was tried by a Court-martial for sur rendering the expedition, but was acquitted. Galveston (Texas) Cor. Globe-Democrat.
