THS CEJ.KBBATBO TKXA SFT About to years after the Texan revolu- a difficuUv occurred between Ihe-new Jurernmentanda portion of tbe peopJc.which Sre-teueJ the most serious consequence 8vtn the bloodshed and horrors of civil war. Briefly, the cause was this; The constitution bad fixed the city of Austin as the peria nent capital, where the public archives were to he kept, with the reservation, however, cf a power in the president to order their tcmpHrJ removal in case of danger from inroaJ of a foreign enemy, or the force of a 4Udlen insurrection. Conceiving that the exceptional emergen cy bad arrived, as the Cainapches frequently .committed ravages within sight of the capi tal iuelf, Houston, .who then resided at IKiihiitgtou, on the Brazos, dispatched an rder cominauduighis subordinate function aries to end the slate recoids to the latter place, which he declared to be, pro tempore, tbe seat of government. tt is impossible to describe the stormy excitement lnch the promulgation of Ihirfiat raised in Austin. The keepers of hotel, fcafilii'g-b0U3es groccrie ,nd faro-banks, wece thunder-struck, maddened to frenzy ; for the measure would be a death-blow to their prosperity in business ; and according, ly, they determined at once to take the ne cessary teps to avert the danger, by oppo sing the execution of Houston's mandate. Thev called a mass meeling of the silizens and fanners of the circumjacent country, who were all more or less interested in the ques tion ; and after many fi ry speeches against tbe asserted tyranny of the administration, it was unanimously resolved to prevent the removal of the archive! by open and armed resistance. To that end they organized a company of four hundred men, one moiety of whom, relieving the other ai regular pe riods of duty, should keep constant guard aro-tnd the state-house until the peril pas sed b v. The commander of this farce was one Colonel Morton, who had achieved con siderable renown in the war for indepen deuce, and had still more recently displayed desperate bravery in two desperate duels, in both of which he had cut his antagonist nearly to pieces with the bowie knife. In dead, from the notoriety of his character tor revenge, as well as courage, it whs thought that President Houston would renounce his purpose touching the archives, so soon as he should learn who was (he leader of the oppo sition. Morton, on his part, whose vanity fully e quailed his" personal prowess, encouraged and justified tbe prevailing opinion by his boast ful threats. lie swore that if the president did succeed in removing the records by ih: march of an overpowering force, he would then himself hunt him down like a wolf, and shoot him with little ceremony, or slab him iu bis bed, or waylay him in his walks of re creation. lie even wrote the hero of San Jacinto to that effect. The latter replied in a noie of laconic brevity : "If the people of Austin do not send the archives, I shall certainly come and take them ; and if Colonel Morton can kill mu, he is welcome to my ear-cap." On the reception of this answer, the guard was doubled around the state-house. Cho. sen sentinels were stationed along the road leading to the capital, the military paraded the streets from morning till night, and a se lect caucus held permanent session in the city lull In short, everything betokened a coming tempest. OiHsday, while matters were in this preca rious condition, the caucus at the city ball was surprised by the sudden appearance of a stranger, whose mode of entering was as ex traordinary as his looks and drees, lie did not knock at the closed door did not seek admission thereat all; but climbing unseen a small busby-topped live oak. which Brew beside the avail. lia lnil taMttirxit ami ml nr warning through a lofty window. He was clothed altogether in buckskin, carried a long and very heavy rifle in bis hand, wore at the button of his left suspender a large bowie knife, and bad in his Kathern bell a couple of pistols half the length of his gun. He was tall, straight as an arrow, active as a panther in bis motions, with dark complex ion and luxuriant jetty hair, with a severe, iron-like countenance, thai seemed never to have known a smile, and eyes of intense, vivid black, -wild and rolling, and piercing s tbe point of a dagger. His strange ad eut i u spired a thrill ol involuntary fear, and many present unconsciously grasped tbe han dles of their side-arms. "Who are you, that thus presumes to in trude among gentlemon, without inviiatibuf ueiaauded Colonel Morion, ferociously essay. mgiocow down the stranger with bis eye be latter returned his stare with compound lattresf., and li'id his long, bony finger on his hp, as a sig;: but of what, the spectators ww'u not uueine. "Who are you! Speak I or I will cut an wswer out of your heart !' shouted Morion, 'roost distracted with rage by the cool. sneer inj gaze of tbe other, who now removed his linger from bis lip, and laid it on the hilt of Us moiisi rous knife. Tt. - tue hery colonel then drew his dagger, ud was ia the act of advancing upon the stranger, when several caught him and held oacn, remonstrating lu hinj alone, Morton, for God's sake. jou not perceive that be is orazy ?" moment, Judge Webb, a man of rewu intellect and eourteoim manners, step- .urwarn, and addressed the mtruder in IU0t pectful manner.

' He broke the eal inH rtnH it aloud. It was from Houston, and showed the usual terse brevity of his style : , rzu.ow-L,iTizENS : Though in error, and deceived. by tbe arts of traitors, I will give yoa three' days more to decide whether you will surrender the public archives. At the end of that time you will please let me know your decision. Sam. Houston." After the reading, the deaf man waited a few seconds, as if for a reply, and then tur ned and was about to leare the hall, when Colonel Morton interposed, and sternly beckoned him back to the tabic. 'The stran ger obeyed, and Morton wrote : You wer brave enough to insult me by your threaten ing looks ten minutes ago : are you- brave enotrgfe now to give me satisaction ?" The stranger penned his reply : "I am at your service !' Morion wrote again : "Who will be your second ?" The stranger rejoined : "I am too gene, rous to seek an advantage ; and too brave to fear any on the part of others; therefore 1 never need the aid of a second." Morton penned : "Name your terms.' The stranger traced, without a moment's hesitation : "Time, sunset this evening ; piece, the left bank of the Colorado, oppo site Austin ; weapons, nfle? ; and distance, a hundred yards. Do not fail to be in lime !" He then took three steps across the floor, aad disappeared through the window as he had entered. "What ! exclaimed Judge Webb, "is it possible. Colonel Morton, that you intend to fight that man ? He is a mute, if not a positive maniac. Such a meeting, 1 fear, will sadly tarnish the lustre of your lau rel." " You are mistaken," replied Morton, with a smile ; that mute is a hero, whose fame stands in the records of a dozen battles, and at least half as many bloody duels. Besides he is the favorite emissary and bosom friend of Houston. If I have the good fortune to kill him, I think it will tempt the President to retract his vowaguinstventuringany more on the field of honor." " You know the man, then. Who is he ? Who is he ?" asked some twenty voices to gether. "Deaf Smith, answered Morion, cooily. "Why no; that cannot be. Deaf Smith a w ava was slain at dan Jacinto, remarked judge Webb, " There, again, your honor is mistaken;" said Morton. Ihestorv of Smith s death was a mere 6clion, got up by Houston to save the life of his favorite from the sworn vengeance of certain Texans, in whose con duct he had acted as a spy. I fathomed tbe artifice twelve month since.' If what you say be true, you are a mad man yourself !' exclaimed Webb. Deaf Smith was never known to miss his mark. He his often brought down ravens iu their most rapid fi'ght, and killed Catnanches and Mexicans at a distance of two hundred and fifty yards 1' Say no more,' answered Colonel Motion in tones of deep determination ; the tin 112 is already settled. I hnve already agreed to meet him. There can be nodis'race in fal ling before such a shot, and, if I succeed, my triumph will confer the greater glory !' Such was the general habit of thought and feeling prevalent throughout Texas at thai period. Towards evening a vast crowd assembled at the place appointed to witness the hostile meeting ; and so great was the popular n ek lessness as lo affairs of the sort, that nume rous and considerable sums were wagered on the result. At length the red orb of the summer sun touched ihe curved run of the western horizon, covering it all with crnn- nn and fold, and fillifi? the air with a H00I of burning glory ; and then the two mortal antagonists, armed with long, ponderous ri fles, took their stations back to back, and at a preconcerted signal the waving of a while handkerchief walked slowly and steadily off 111 opposite directions,counting their steps until each bad measured niiy. t ney uum completed the given number about the same instant, and when lhy wheeled, eacn 10 aim and fire when he chose. As the distance was great, both paused for some seconds long enough for the beholders to flash their eyes from one to the other, and mars: ine striking contrast betwixt them. The face of Col. Morton was calm and smiling, oui the smile it bore had a most murderous mean. ;.rr On tho noi.trarv. the countenance 01 Deaf Smith was stern and passionless as ev- A side-view of his features might have er. been mistaken for a profile done 111 cual-iron. The one. too. waa dressed in the richest cloth, the oilipr in smoke-tinted leather. Uut (tiffVrence in Texas then : lor the hein of heroic courage were all consid ered peers the class of inleriors embra ced none but cowards. Presently two rifles exploded with sun. uitaneoua roars, vnionei nio'i g"" prodigious bound upwards, and dropped to the earth a corpse. Deaf Smith stood erect, and immediately Itepan to reload his rifle and then, bavins finished his brief task, he has'ened away into ihe adjacent forest. Three days afterwards General .Houston, accompanied by Deaf Smith and ten more men, appeared in Austin, and witnoui iur titer opposition removed tne state papers. The history of the hero of the foregoing anecdote was one of the most extraordinary ever known in the West. He made Ins ad vent in Texas at an early period, and con linued lo reside there until his death, which happened some two years ago ; but although he had many warm personal friends, 110 one could ecer ascertain either the land of his birth, or a single gleam of his previous bio graphr. When he was questioned on tbe ...kloi ha l.i.l i.; ffno-or on his liu and if oressed more urirenllv bis brew writhed and bis dark ye seemed to shoot sparks of livid fire I He con d write with asionisu ing correclneis and facility, eonsidermo; hi situation : and although denied the exqui site pleasure snd priceless advantages tbe sense of bearing, nature hsd given him ample 'compensation, by an ey quick and far seeing as an eagle's, and a smell keen and incredible as that of a raven. He could discover objects moving miles sway intne far-off prairie, when others could preceive notling but eaith and sky ; and the rangers used lo declare thut he could catch the scent of a Mexican or Indian at as great a dis. Unce as a buzzard could distinguish the odor of a dead carcass. It was these qualities which fitted him so well for a spy, in which capacity he ren dered invaluable services to Houston's ar my during the war of independence. He always went alone, and generally obtained the information desired. His habits in pri vate life were equally singular. He could never be persuaded to sleep under :he rool of a house, or even to use a tent-cloth. Wrapped in his blanket he loved lo lie out in tbe open air, ur.der the blue canopy of pur ether, nd count the stars, or gaze with a yearning look at the melancholy moon. When not employed as a spy or guide, he subsisted by hunting, being often absent on solitary excursions for weeks and even months together in the wilderness. He was a genuine son of nature, a grown up child of the woods and prairies, which he worsh ipped with a sort of Pagan ador.il ion w Ex. eluded by his infirmities from cordial fellow ship with his kind; he made the inainiinatc things of the earth his friends, and entered by the healths own adoption into brotherhood with the luminaries of heaven! Wherever there was land or water, biirren' mountains or tangled brakes of wild w aving cane, there was Deaf Smith's home, and there he was happy ; but in the streets of great cities, in all the great throughf ires of men, wberevt r there was flillery or fawning, base cunning or craven fear, ihere was Deal Smith an alien and an rxile. Strange soul ! lie hath departed on the long journey, away among those high bright stars which were his night lamps; and he hath either solved or ceased to ponder the deep mystery of I he magic word, "life " He is dead ; therefore let Ins errors rest in ob livion, and his virtues be remembered Willi hope.
