Wasted, a hand to bold mine own, As down Life's vale I glide Wanted, an arm to lean upon Forever by my side! Wanted, a firm and steady foot With step secure and free, To keep its straight and onward pace Over Life's path with me. Wanted, a form erect and high, * A kead above mine own &o much, that I might walk beneath its shadow o'er me thrown! Wanted, an eye within whose depth Mine own might look and see. Cprisingn from a guileless heart O'er flown with love for me! Wanted, a lip whose kindest smile Would speak for tnc alone; A voice, whose richest melody, Would breatlic affection’s tone! Wanted, a true religious soul, To pious purpose given. With whom iny own might pass along The road that leads to heaven! CAPT. SAMUEL H. WALKER. This officer i, one of those rare spirit, which-a state of war will bring out front our citizen soldiers. His lato unequalled conflict with the Mexicans, in which be lost nearly every man under his command, and his daring heroism in cutting bis way to'Gen. Taylor's camp, has excited in the public mind a strong desire to know more of him. He is the same gentleman so frequently and honorable spoken of in Gen. Green’s journal uf the Mier expedi tion. He is a native of Washington City, from whence he went into the Florida War, where in several Campaigns lie dis tinguished himself by his intrepid bravery. Jn 1643 lie went to Texas and during the invasion of that Republic by Gen. Woll, be was marked for his bold and 'daring conduct. Alter the Mexican General had retreated from San Antonio, and when lie lay upon the Eio Hondo, Copt. Walker and Copt. McCullough crawled through his camp one night and spied nut his position, and the next day with the gal lant Hays, led the attack upon his rear guard. He then joined' the celebrated the cavalry, may do very well to fight each other; but in any conflict with our own or European troops, it would not be a battle, but a massacre. The American corps from the superior size of their horses, would cover twice os much ground, and the op position offered by the Mexicans on their small and scrawny ponies would scarcely cause their horses to stumble in riding over them ; to say nothing of the' greater ine quality of the men themselves, five to one at least in individual combats, and more than twice that in battle. The infantry would be found even more impotent. Boston Transcript.
