Gsavuvov, Taxu, October 2d.—Strolling
through the city oemetery yesterday, in com-
E with a friend, the Globe Democrat re-
r wu stopped before a grave in that per-
>f tho burying ground known u “pot

small wooden cross, and his companion re
marked :
“Hero ia tho place where William Smith la
buried. He wu'a hard eillsehi and wu com
monly called ’Nicaragua Smith,’ from haying

ruion of the Central American states. After
tbrdefeat and death bi Walker, Smith drifted
to Gelreeton, whoro ho spent most ot his time
gambling, and just at the breaking oat of tbe
war wu run out of tosrn by a vigilance com
mittee on suspicion ol haring beau connected

few'monlha’ duty he became tired of the ser
vice, and one dark night stole aamall beat and
lnade his way to the lederal blockading fleet
at anchor off the (outer bu. He wu then
sent to Now Orleans, and nothing wu hoard
of him for months.
“On tho Sdjday of January, 1861, just after
the battle of Galveston, u the ateamu Har

from New Orleans, arrived off the bu

troops nndu command of General Edmund J.
Davis, afterwards governor of the state. A
small boat was sent ashore undu command
of Smith, and pulled alongside of the Huriet

contained a summary of the decrees onrulos
passed by the council, and when published
one paragraph attracted oonstderabio atten
