ovised citizens of Texas at the time when the North and the South were contending for the supremacy of influence in that ephemeral republic. They had already measured strength with the Mexican soldier, and at San Jacinto they had learned to outwit his vigilance and to excel his skill in horsemanship. The Americans, therefore, did not even wait for the declaration of war to launch out into the most hazardous expeditions. Between the populated districts of Mexico and the boundaries of Anglo-Saxon civilization, there was then a vast extent of country, almost untenanted, and inhabited only by roving Indians and a few settlers of Spanish origin. At certain periods this desert was ploughed by large armed caravans, which carried on a trade of more than ten millions annually, by following two routes, equally difficult and dangerous. One, starting from the rich mining districts of Chihuahua, pursued its course by way of El Paso, Santa Fe, and the Rocky Mountains to Fort Leavenworth, on th

istocracy against the Yankees, whom she represented as a gathering of Germans and Irishmen. In point of fact, the Anglo-Saxon race ruled equally in the South and in the North. It rapidly absorbed the races that had preceded it, as well as those w to the Irish emigrant, far from resisting this tide, he rather followed it; for although differing widely from the Anglo-Saxon, he goes in search of a new country only where the latter is already firmly established. He resembles those plants, diffin the New World never caused them to forget. The French, comparatively few in that land which is overrun by the Anglo-Saxon and Germanic races, swelled the ranks of the La Fayette Guards, and subsequently of the Enfants Perdus, in both of which tants to this day speak a Germanic patois; but notwithstanding their nickname of Dutchmen, applied to them by their Anglo-Saxon neighbors, they are just as much Americans, in every sense of the term, as the latter. Those who still continue to emigr

last in rendering available resources ignored by their adversaries. It is an error, we believe, to attribute the honor of this quality exclusively to the Anglo-Saxon race; we should rather attribute it to the working of free institutions. A people living under such institutions do not prepare for war after the manner of conspi the regulars by regulars; but they were all subject to the same military code, the Articles of War, a small collection, rather vague, which, like nearly all Anglo-Saxon laws, leave a great deal to jurisprudence. The establishment of examining commissions operated largely in favor of discipline, and raised the dignity of the epato equip and mount them. The duties of horsemen were new to them. The North American had lost some of the good traditions of horsemanship pertaining to the Anglo-Saxon race. In the eastern part of the Union the saddle-horse has been supplanted by the light vehicle called buggy; in the West the farmer is more of a husbandman than

ssed through Springfield, descended into Arkansas, and after crossing the Ozark Mountains near Bentonville, reached Fort Smith, on the great Arkansas River. Beyond this last station the habitations and cultivated lands which the facilities of communication had developed along the road became more and more rare; at last, on leaving Fort Belknap, in Texas, the mail-carrier had no other guide than a small compass to direct him in finding out the stages marked by the whitened bones of the Anglo-Saxon emigrant or the Mexican adventurer. The two adversaries, one resting upon St. Louis, the other on the State of Arkansas, had to meet on this road whenever the aim of their campaigns was the possession of Missouri. Hostilities commenced west of the Mississippi about the same time as on the banks of the Tennessee. Hunter, after superseding Fremont, had left the army of the Missouri and taken command of the troops assembled in the State of Kansas. His mission was simply to hunt the gueril
