ruuii£ y HUJ ui;u ua»c buum ^ FI • Uilrcers, and relieve us pf ihe excitement and demoralizing effects of such mock elections. We have lost the fight, it is true, and it is also true, that any further resistance, whether by word or deed, would not only be folly, but madness. But although we have been forced to surrender our arms and our cause, it does not necessarily follow that we must surrender all out: dignity, honor and self respect. At the memorable battle of San. Jacinto, Almonte, together with a large number of Mexicans, fell into oiir hands.The next morning a crowd of our soldiers collected around the camp where these prisoners were guarded, many of whom engaged in conversation with the prisoners, in wliicli lliey took no great pains to lise very respectful language. Almonte was asked by some one if li.n did not expect to be shot; if he did not think that he deserved to be sliot-^c. He fixed Ids eye firmly on the speaker, and without the least embarrassment or quiver of the voice, nobly replied : “ I am prepared to meet my fate, be it what it may ; I am your prisoner, dispose of me as you pleased’A Pakticipator ix tub Rkvoi.iihon ok ISiJG.
