Everybody became tired and disgusted with the General and his policy. He was too much of a military cox- comb to suit the ideas and ways of a pioneer country; besides, he was suspected of cowardice. In May, 1862, the naval fleet outside made a demand for the surrender of the city, giving four days for a decision. The demand was re- fused. It was believed, of course, that Hebert would at least make a show of fight for the repu- tation of it, if for nothing more, and that a hand- some artillery d...uel might be expected any hour. This expectation was strengthened by an order for all non-combatants to leave the island in a given time. The next few days witnessed a' general stampede of people and valuables up country, the writer and his family with the mul- titude, to save them from the dangers of flying shot and shell. Every dray and available ve- hicle was brought into requisition to convey people and goods away from the city. Any- CAPTURE OF GALVESTON. IO/ thing that could freight a thousand pounds or more, could easily command five dollars a load, four miles to the bridge, where the cars stopped.
