THAT REGIMENTAL ENCAMPMENT.
Have
Field Artillery And Signal Corps
Gone to Work in Earnest.
As mentioned exclusively in
these columns last week, Bren
ham is going to make a long pull
and a strong pull and a pull al
together for a regimental en
oampment this summer. There
was a meeting of the officers of
the Field Artillery and Signal
Corps Tuesday night at which
the matter was discussed in all its
phases, and the cumulative
opinion of those present was that
the project ought to be carried
through. Major Ben Schmid,
who commands the artillery
battallion of the State, Lieuten
ant Henry Grote of the Field
artillery and Lieutenant Ignas
Nowakowsky of the Signal
Corps, were appointed a com
mittee to make arrangements for
grounds, finance, etc. Stock-
bridge park, which adjoins
Firemen's park, is deemed an
available place for the encamp-
ment. affording as it does ample
room for the field manouvres.
Being adjacent to Fireman'e
park makes the pavilion of the
latter a convenient place for
holding the two regimental balls
that are to represent the social
side of the encampment. A
subscription list has been opened
by Major Schmid and several
hundreds dollars have already
been subscribed.
Col. Gordon Boone of Nav-
asoto commands the Second Re-
giment, Lieutenant L. T. Rogers
addressed him a letter in regard
io the proposed encampment and
ias the following in reply:
"Yours of the 13th inst, to
land, and replying thereto, I beg
;o say that we certainly want to
lave a regimental encampment
Waco is endeavoring to see what
;hey can do in the matter,***
The expense of the encampment
ought not to be over $1500, and
a good deal of this could be made
baok in gate receipts, if the en-
campment could be held in some
park or enclosure. I propose to
call a meeting in the next few
days of the field officers of the
2nd infantry to determine on de-
finite stops looking toward get-
ting the encampment. I will
advise you when this will be
done."

letter was written. He had been
sent to the United States as com
mi8sioner by Provisional Gov
ernor Henry Smith in December
1835 for the purppse of raising
money and men to met the in
vasion of San Anna, which had
already been announced andjdic
come in the spring of 1836. The
declaration of Independence hac
been made Maroh 2, 1836, a
Washington, and on March 17th,
1836, fifteen days afterwards,
constitution framed, and Burnet
elected provisional president, In
October, 1836, at the first re
gular election held for the presi
dential office, Houston was
elected president, defeating
Austin. Austin became sec
retary of State, and died while
holding this position, December
27, 1836. The letter is datec
New Orleans, June 11 1836,
and is as follows:
"Gentlemen:
"I arrived here yesterday
General Houston had left for
Tachitoches and I did not see
him. The account from Texas
are all of the most savorable and
cheering character. Rusk had
orossed the river Colorado with
about two thousand men in pur-
suit of the Mexicans, who were
retreating in confusion; it is <0
be hoped they will be overtaken
by Rusk before they pass the
Nueces. All the accounts agree
as to the determination of the
Mexicans to retreat beyond the
Rio Del Norte and abandon Tex-
as for the present (whioh is in
reality abandoning it forever).
Letters from Matamoras say that
General Ramirez y Sesma had
passed through that place on his
way to Mexico; also that General
Filisola had reaohed the river
Nueces with his advance of the
retreating army in a wretched
condition. That portions of the
Grand Army of Texas were con-
tinually arriving in broken
squads, cursing the hour they
ever heard of Texas, and deter*
mined never to return there
again, eto. I believe that these
acoounts from Matamoras are
substantially true, though I doubt
Filisola could have reached the
Nueces by the 20th of May (the
day the Matamoras letter says he
did). He is probably on the San
Antonio river. These aocounts
from Matamoras coroborate those
from Texas, that the remnant of
the Mexican army is retreating in
great confusion and by forced
marches. It is said here that a
treaty has been made, or is about
to be made with Santa Anna, in
which he recognizes the inde-
pendence of Texas, and is to re-
main a hostage until it is ratified
by the Mexican government.
There is a rumor that he will be
allowed to go to Mexico to pro-
cure its ratification; but I do not
believe this, and I think the oth-
er account Is true. I wrote to
President Burnett a few lines the
moment I reached here by a ves-
sel that was then sailing. I only
had time to urge him to sendj to
you without delay an offloial
statement of the battle of San
Jaointo and all the other docu-
ments relative to the political
our independence, and also to
write to you at least onoe a week
and send the letters by express to
the nearest postoffice this side
the Sabine, and duplicates by
water th this place. I have made
arrangements to send out a sup-
ply of provisions from here.
They will go in a few days.
Therejwill be some scarity for a
few months until the corn crops
ripen, though I have full confi-
dence that we shall be able to
place our finances on a footing
that will meet all our necessities.
So far as I can learn there is
much harmony and union in
Texas. I have no doubt it will
continue and that the hopes of
the friends of Texas will all be
realized and their fears dissipat-
ed. You may expect to hear
f.om me and from the govern-
ment as soon after my arrival
there as letters can reach you,
and I hope you can obtain a re-
cognition of our independence
before congress adjourns. I en-
elope you a slip (in Spanish) on
the subject of our independence
which has some good ideas. Got
it translated by the government
translator and published. It is
from the Correo Atlantico,
newspaper published in this
place. I shall leave tomorrow or
next day by water, if the vesse
goes so soon, and if not, I will go
up Red river by Nacogdoches.
"Yours respectfully,
"S. F. Austin."
"P. S. The massacre at Goliad
of Fannin's men is all true. A
few have escaped. I have
quired of all for General Ripley's
son, but can hear nothing 0
him. I still have hopes. One of
Governor Duval's sons escaped;
the other was killed."

nesday With Heart Failure.
Mrs. Elizabeth Poythress Gra»
ham Sloan, mother of Captain J.
G. Sloan, joint ticket agent for
the Santa Fe and Central rail-
roads at this place, died at noon
Wednesday with heart failure,
aged sixty-nine years. Mrs.
Sloan was apparently in the beet
of health during the early morn-
ing hours and up to the time
when Captain Sloan left home for
the Union depot to meet the noon
trains. About eleven o'clock she
complained of feeling badly and
a physician was summoned. It
was apparently a trifling matter,
and after administering a simple
remedy the doctor departed. At
twelve o'clock Captain Sloan wsb
telephoned to send a doctor at
once, his mother being in ft
fainting condition. He left for
home at once, but arrived tco
late to see her alive, she having
passed painlessly away a few
moments before his coming.
Mrs. Sloan was a native of
Elmwood, Lincoln county, N. C.#
born January 7, 1831. She was
married to John Sloan March 13,
1852, at .Charlotte. N. C.
The family moved to Texas^
Mrs. Sloan arriving in the Lone
Star state on Easter Sunday,
1873. Her husband died in Cle-
burne November 4, 1877. Mrsi
Sloan was the last surviving
member of her family and Cap-
tain Sloan is her only surviving
son, of three. Captain W. E.
Sloan, her second son, wsg
prominent in the military circlca
of Brenham and of Texas and
organized the Brenham Field-
Artillery. He died a few years'
ago. The other son passed away
in 1880.
Mrs. Sloan was for many
years a member of the Preebyte*
rian church, active in the dis-
charge of every christian duty, ft
visitoi of -the sick and the af-
flicted and a helper of the dis*
tressed. Her sudden death ia
deeply deplored by a large circle
of friends. The funeral will oc-
cur from the residence of Capt*
G. Sloan at 4:30 o'clock thi«
(Thursday) afternoon and in»
terment will be at Prairie Lea
cemetery.
A telegram from Austin an*
nounces that Miss Foster, sister
of Mrs. Dever, is very sick. Mr*
Frank Dever left Wednesdsy
