	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.
		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.
		The people of eastern Texas were also about establishing, at Nacogdoches, "The Emigrant's Guide." Thus the elements of civilization and progress were mingling with the ravages of war.
