From lho Hartford Daily Times. Nov. 15 Capt. Walker, THE BRAVE TEXAN'RANGER. Samuel Hamilton Walker was borne bout the year 1815. in Prince George county. Maryland. His brothers and‘oth er relatives now reside in Washington ci ty. During the Seminole Indian war he enlisted in the United States service as a private. and was one ol’Colonel Harney’s picked men to penetrate'thc everglade‘s ol Florida, where loot prints at the 'white man were never before seen. In that ha zardous'expedition, which eflectuslly put an end to the Florida war. by conquering the Indians around their own council fires. young Walker greatly distinguished him self. He was a lavorite ol the daring Har ney. whose quick perception never laited to select the most energetic and bold. ' At the close ol the Seminole war. Wal ker went to Texas and joined Col. Hay’s company 0! Rangers. In the summer at 1844. he was one of the filteen ol Hay’s men. armed with revolving pistols. who attacked 80 Camanche Indians. and de feated them, leaving thirty-three dead ln~ ‘dians upon the field; and lrom the num iber of dead and dying*«"carried off. it was believed that more than half the Coman che lorce was slain by these filteen Ran gers. In this fierce battle .Walker was pierced through the hotly by the spear ol an Indian..the spear pinning him to, the ground! He was lelt in that condition by his companions. who supposed he was dead. After the battle. he was lound with the spear still sticking through him.’.tho’ he had succeeded in getting it out of the ground. His companions relieved him from it. and lound it had net touched a ti tal part. He recovered. Walker was also one of Col. Fisher’s three hundred men who marched against two thousand Mexicans. stationed at Mier. and was captured by the Mexicans previ ous to that battle. as he made an excursion among them. Alter the defeat of the Mien expedition. he was matched. with other prisoners. to the castle ol Parole.— 'l'hese prisoners received the inhuman treatment which no other people on earth. [save Mexicans and cannibals, inflict upon those within their power. At Salado. the iTexans resolved to make their escape.— Walker was loremnst. It was arranged that he should seize and disarm one of the guard, and that Cameron. a Scotchman. should serve the other in.the same way—.- 1 At the signal, the guards were disarrued : in a moment. and the Texans. 214 in num ber. rushed Intuthe outer court, where 150 Mexican infantry were guarding a quanti ty of armslaod ammunition. The Texans soonphad command of this.post.and arm ed themselves. Whilst doing so. 300 Mexicans. cavalry and inlsntry. formed outside of the gates. The Texans rushed upon these. and deleated them. killing ten of' their number. and jlosing live. The company then escaped. but finally became lost in the mountains. and suliered‘greatly from hunger. As~ Walker espressed itto a'lriettd. alter his return. their eyeslbe‘ came so sunken, lrorn’ hunger and l’atigue. that they appeared like auger holes in the head. In thio‘ condition they were re-captured by the Mexicans. and taken back to Sala do. Here the blood-thirsty Santa Anna demanded the lile at every lenth‘manmnd the company wutmarcliad out to draw the black beans—one bluek bean for every i tenth man; being. placed in the bowl, and all who draw them were shot. Young Torrey; ol thirdly. got one. and was kil- Led on the spot. Those who drew the white bea'ne were subject to intense aufl‘e rings.

Onthe 28th of April. 1846, he Lascertained that quite a large body of Mex iicans. intended to surround Gen.

The few that re mained around their hold commander. firmly received the attack of the Mexicans. and gave them battle for about fifteen min nutes. killing about thirty of them. They then retreated. and were pursued to with in halfa mile of Point Isabel. It was re ported that Walker was slain. but at night he came into the fort, and with that undo mltable spirit for which he was distinguish ed, at once offered to communicate with General Taylor, provided hecould have four men as companions; Thisvproposio tion, under such circumstances, with the enemy in force. and lurking In every path and thicket. was considered rash. But six Texans volunteered. and after several bold adventures. in one of which they charged through a large body of Mexrcan ‘lsncers. whilst they were preparing to for age their~horsies. they,reet.hed the camp ol 'Gen. Taylor in safety on the 30th, , Walker was among the brave men who joined the gallant Col. May. and accom panied him in his famous charge. when Gen Lu Vega was taken prisoner.
