Tin* Lavacca Gulf Key of the 19th
iust has a full and very interesting ac-
count of the surrender of the? Cnited
.States troops in Texa*. under command
of Lieut. Col. Reeve to the Confederate
force under command of Col. Van Dorti
which we copy as follows :
Our fellow townsman iJr I H Fret
well volunteer aid on Col Van Pom's
staff has just arrived from San Antonio
and brings us the cheering iicwh of the
surrender of the Cnited States troops —
six companies of th" 9ill Infantry- un-
der the command ui Col. Keevc on the
9th iust near the Sau Lucas Springs
some 22 miles west of Pan Antonio and
on the Castroville road
The following is the Doctor's graphit
description of that grand event—lie wan
present to aid by force if necessary in
the capture of these troops .
Col. Uceve's command consisted of
rank and file with their appropriate ofti-
ccis together with Col. Humford and
several other officers who Were on leave
or under orders to report at other points
ami who taking advantage of the troops
coming down to Sail Antonio sought and
obtained the escort of the same. The
surrender was an unconditional one. Tin-
troops will be kept as close prisoners of
war and will not be sent out of the cotin
try as the policy of tin- Government at
Montgomery wo understand has be n
changed on this important point
We take this occasion to congratulate
the people of Texas on the fart that
there no longer rests the foot < f an ene-
my on her soil. The last gun has been
surrendered and the last standard low-
er d by which her peace was menaced or
her sovereignty disputed : and we take
this occasion to join our feeble praises
to those of our fellow-citi/.ens in accord
ing to tin Colonel commanding this de-
partment the highest mead of honor for
the manner in wlr h hi? nude and carried
out It is plans so us t< \ fleet his object
without the loss of human blood.

Van Horn would convince him that In-
had suflieient troops to execute it by
i permitting an officer of his command
whom he would designate to see tin*
troops and report t<» him ; the prompt
answer returned was that I e should have
th.it opportunity to see the troops and
| the m re he saw of them the less he
would like it The officer designated !>y
I Col Reeve was Lieut Hliss a young ofti-
I cer of distinguished bravery well known
in the S army who mounting a horse
I rode down the line of our troops and
i was repeatedly die. red Suffice it t<»
say on his report Col. Koove surrender-
ed with his command together with all
the public property in his possession un-
I conditionally as prisoners of war gi\ i'ng
his word of honor as a gentleman and
I soldier that In? Would report himself and
command at Col. Van Horn's camp on the
IrffOii that evening at six o'clock.

given to cot) uter mure 11 back t<» camp
where we arrived at about. J) o'clock P
M every one p|*M mt (lie happ> ter-
mination of the dilRcnlty. At A o'clock
V. M Col. Reeve'* commanri arrived in
camp and their ground beiug designated 1
by the propor officer they pitc hed their
tents an orderly and stacked their arms
with as ranch precision as if on inspec-
tion parade. There wan not a won! said
or a shout raised to wound their military
pride but the officers and men were? trent-
ed with the greatest courtesy and the
warm grip of friendship wan given by
| many su one in recognizing old acquaint-
! ances. The officers of the V. H troops
| were invited to Col. Van Dorn's quarters
after supper (not officially) to partake
of his hospitalities where a couple of
hours were spent in the most friendly
converse not an allusion was made to
the events of the day. when each one
.icpatated to his quarters entertaining
for the other only a more nalted opin
ion Neil morning at five o'clock the
infantry aod cavalry struck their teutfl
and marched into Han Antonio where
they arrived in good trim at (\ o'clock
Ool. Reeve's command marched to the
San Pedro Springs two mile* above Sau
Antonio to a camp designated by a prop-
er officer where all the arina and Gov-
ernment property were given up.
Too much pr.iise cannot l»e given to
Ool. Van Dorn for the manner in which
the whole affair was conducted and con-
cluded from the ttrst inception to ita de-
noufment
Particularly striking waa the flight of
an enemy marching into our camp fully
armed and equipped and taking up a po-
sition designated—while all around were
busily engaged in attending to their
camp duties some cooking some wash-
ing some eating some drinking some
lying down asleep and others playing
soldier — without ihe least unusual dis
turbanee or commotion—and all this hap-
pening upon the word and honor of one
man. It speaks well for our advanced
state of civilization it speak* doubly
loud in honor of military integrity.
Those who but a few hours before were
drawn up in battle array against us
were now received as friends whose per-
sons and property were as sacred as our
own.

Iy into the erunadc against the South

his aid in the war against the stag

| Scott and Han>««y follow Hick* in this
I race of infamy at a considerable dis-
tance ; hut still as compared with other
traitors in history they t\>o have earned
no inferior positions Natives of the
South fostered aud promoted—nay
weakly indulged aud defended by the
I South when they ought to have been
driven from public service and trust
they now repay nil this kindness ami
generosity by j fining with our natural
: and political enemies to iuvade and sub-
due us. Those who are at all acquaint-
ed with the character and weakness of
these men know that their motives are
sordid base and sensual. All their pre
i»'\ts of patriotism love of the Union
aud fidelity to their flag are the merest
balderdash. Kverybodv knows that
: Scott has tio higher affection than his
' love for his dinner no more elevated as-
! piratiou than to secure a liberal salary
[ which will be adequate to till hut wine
cellar and load I s liabh with id I the
delicacies nf the season. As for Harney
I that "besotted commander" an Scott
j quite recently dubbed him the key to
I Lin treachery is to lie found in hi* recent
succession to an estate upon which he
has I'lifr been a pensionary the value of
which depends greatly upon the favor
and flood will of the Oeruian population
of St Louis There are other incentives
to Harm v'n treason Hin course in the
Sumner affair Idat him the confidence am'
respect of the South in regard to the only
quality which had redeemed or palliated
many misdeeds and wickednesses to wit .•
his personal courage. A brutal murder
of a slate woman committed l>y him
noma Teat s ago which lid to his Hiflht
Irom St. Louis had been criminally over-
looked and forgotten. Other brutalities
had been treated in like manner The
South was weakly Seduced into a de-
fense or at least forgiveness of Harney
by his earnest professions of devotion to
hei cause. lie carried this so far as to
offer to resign his position in the army
; to take commsnd in an expedition against
the island of Cuba. He always profess
vd the uiost ultra Southern views. And
now we have a fit and fast return for
such w«■ .4k trust and confidence in a bad
and weak man. The man whom the
South retained in the army long after he
{ became its opprobrium Mving him on
more than one occasion from disgrace-
