	The Battle of Concepcion
		The river was skirted with timber ; the prairie, which was a level plain, extended into the bend; but within the bend there was a river-bottom, nearly a hundred yards wide, from six to ten feet lower than the plain in front.
		In the meantime, the men cleared away the bushes and vines under the hill and along the margin ; and, at the steep places, steps were cut in the side of the bluff, so that they could easily ascend to fire, and descend to reload.
		This battle was a brilliant affair, and well deserved the commendation bestowed by the consultation, which, on the 3d of November, on motion of Sam Houston, thanked the officers and men for their heroic gallantry and valor.
