A District Men Who Fought With Walker— How the News of His Death Was Received— Interesting Information About Historic Paintings. Written for The Evening Star. HAVE BEEN FAVORED WITH THE PE- rusal of somé letters written by Capt. Sam. H. Walker, whose eventful life forms one of the brightest pages in our history, pre- served by his nephew, Mr. Saml. H. Walker. Like all heroes, he has but little to say of him- self or his of exploits, but the many acts of hero- ism with which his career was filled are em- balmed in history with those of his ussociates, Col. Jack Hays and Maj. Ben McCullough. In this volume I find several letters from Col. Sam Colt written to Capt. Walker in rel tion to the introduction of that valuable arm of defense,‘the revolver, which for years had re- ceived but little encouragement from the War Dopartment—so little, indeed, that Col. Colt, his laurels in Mexico, and we meet him occa- sionally: Col. Aug icholson and his brother, the admiral, mn their career in Mexico; Forbes Britton, Arnold Harris, Ripley Arnold. Ben Beall, Eugene Boyle and the many others who participated in the dangers of in- vading the enemy's country and encountering an overwhelming force, which now read like romance. Col. Wm. P. Wood, who was one of Walker's men, but who, with others, were un- der Gen. Samner, consolidated with the regu- lars, while Capt.’ Waiker was allowed only a company until promoted. Col. Wood says they claimed to be known as “Walker's men,” and when a storming purty wascalled for “Walker men” led the assault at Chepultepec and at tI Gareta de Balin, where the severest fighting took place before the City of Mexico surren- dered, which was done at that date to Gen. Quitman, and so recognized by Gen. Scott in his official report. THE PAINTING IN THE CAPITOL. Those who gaze upon the painting by James Walker at the head of the stairs leading to the gallery of the Senate, the storming of Chepul- tepec, will be struck by the seeming impregna- ble position of the fortifications, and to some it would appear exaggerated. 1 saw the picture Sy “4 < THE WORK WHEN CO wa MPLETED IMPROVEMENT OF THE POTOMAC FLATS ‘The Work Which Has Been of So Much Im- Portance to Washington. From the Scientific American. The improvement of the river front of the city of Washington, D. C., popularly known as the Potomac flats improvement, was intended | to accomplish two objects: First, to improve navigation, for which annually the government has for years been expending a large sum of money; and second, to fill up @ large aren of marsh land, which was overgrown with a dense growth of grass.

St. Petersburs Correspondence New York Tribune. Day by day the truth about the famine is be- coming known despite the efforte made by the government to prevent the press from publiab- ing the worst facts. The situation is more ter- Tible than was anticipated. No language is too Strong to tell of the distress that prevails in some provinces.

On the 13th of May, 1846, Col. Bullet wrote from New Orleans presenting a horse to Capt. Walker from a number of citizens in apprecia- tion of his services. Mr. Alexander C.

At New Orleans he ed- subjects are commended very highly in Paris and find space in the salons, He is an American and if fam not mistaken has gained a medal and his paintings are now hors concors. It was not Mr. James Walker; he died about a year ago in some western city. Another artist, Mr. Troye, who painted the life size equestrian portrait of Gen.

From the obs! and ahs! of the French contingent there was much of interest which our knowl- edge of French—at least the guide's French— did not grasp.

TROUBLE WITH HIS FRENCH. ‘This victory 1s saddened by the loss of one of the most chivalric and noble-hearted men that graced the profession of arms.” For a time it hushed the shout of victory, and its announce- sent fell upon the country like a pall. Here, where he was so well known, it occasioned deep grief. We felt it, all of us who knew him, as a personal loss. At that time all our news from Mexico came by the way of New Orleans, and a correspond- ent of the Baltimore Sun says in a letter dated at New Orleans: “It would be in vain for me to attempt to describe the state of public fecl- ing here this morning wheu the news from Mexico was read, conveying the sad intelligence of the death of Capt. Walker. * * * The brave and patriotic Walker was our feliow itizen; we have known him from his youth Gen. Boulanger translated into English is Gen. Baker.

Walker had waited in vain for the revolvers promised as part of the equipment of his men he went to the President, Polk, and tendered his resignation unless that part of his equipment were supplied.
