Retreat of the . Xenophons---Slaughter ,- of
the Murderers, and .escape of, the Tex-
ilia Patriots
Since- our publication of yesterday, in
which the accounts from our corresPoudeot
at Metamoras left more thaii 400 young
'Texians at Saltillo, about to be sacrificed
at the shrine of ciiwardic:2—we have con
versed with a passenger from, Texas, by
the New, York, Mr.' Ed,- DWyer, of San
Antonio, who has communicated to - ye
some new and heart cheerin g facts. Mr.
D. was only six days from San Antonie
to Houston, and on the journey put uTi-at
d house where (Jul. Jordan, (tile comman
der of the 114 Texians, whom the-'Mexi
cans had planned toimurder)•had just be
fore stopped for refreshment. -Mr. Dwyer
learned, an lie correct
ness of the information, that when the
Texians became convinced 'of The inten
tions and treachery of: the Mexicans, they
retiredby themselves to a walled enclosure
in the vicinity, determined to face . the worst.
At this time the 'citizens of the place, cori;
sidering ,the , contest' at an end, opened
their' houses and shops, i and gave the sol-
Aiers whatever they wished to'cat or drink.
The consequence was, that the hulk of
r them got beastlydrunk;. and, in this situa
tion, they were ordered - bykeir cOmman
der to attack the outlaws, (as the, Texians
we're termed.)-- The :battle commenced
abotit 2 e. M. and lasted near 9 hours.—
The Texiabs were wdll proteeted from the.
fire of their assailants—and were 'moreover
well armed, and abundantly sop-plied with
ammunition: The result ,was, that the ig
norant and intoxicated cowards who assail
led them,' incapable : of inflicting injury,
- were slaughtered on all 'hands. this.
juncture '
the besieged sallied forth , and
captured three of artillery,--which
they turned upon the enemy, and _mowed
them down like grass: More'than FOUR.
HUNDRED of the treacherous foes were
leftlifeless on -- ther - gronnd; - on - that -- bight, -
by' this small.branch, of the Anglo-Saxon
race. - ,
The Texians, having denied the field;
supplied themselves With - apparel; (of
which they were much in• want) and other
spoils of victory, and • commenced their
march homeward, and pursued their way
without molestation—iavifig r lost only four
companions - lilted' in, the fight,, and' One

WONDF.RFUL ESCAPE.
The National Intelligencer of yesterday
contains the following deeply interesting
account of a railroad.acchlent: •
The members of Congress who arrived
yesterday • froin the South. bring informa
tion of one of the`most extraordinary acei !
kimits and hair-breadth.eseaiies that we ever
heard - of, which occurred to ,Gen.'Waddy
Thompson, the , distinguished Representa
tire in Congress, from South Carolina.—
The scene of it was on the, railroad, a few
miles south of Peterslitirgh, in Virginia.—
General 'Thompson, with several other
members, weary of the tedious progress of
.--the_train_oLsteam_ears, whjcl made their
way with 'great effort and difficulty through
the snow, had 'got out or the cars and walk
ed ahead, along' (he track. The motion , of
the cars becoming freer, they came down'
upon hint tnbre rapidly than he expected,
and, the engineer not being able to check.
them, they struck General . Thompson,
knocked him down, and the—whole_ trank
engine, cars, and all; passed over him!
Every one will suppose, of course, op real
incr this, that the accident was fatal in its
consequences.. contrary,--We are
happy to say -that, if bodily injured at all.
it was not ,to.such an extent as to leave any
alhim as to the consequences on the . .minds
of his friends, one or two of whornstald
