TEXAS-ALL \

The g" glorious news from Texas, announcing
the capture of Santa Ana, &c. turns out to have
been grossly magnilied. We have received, by
the las, mail, later, and we regret to say, less
cheering information
From the Louisiana 1dcertiser, Uay5.
TExas.-By a gentleman who arrived yeslcr-
day, we are credlbly informed that SANTA ANA
has no, been taken prisoner, much less sentenced
and shot, as stated by a contemporary journal.
Our informant stated that there had been ii fgIt,
or, more properly speaking, a skirmish, between
a body Of The Mexican army, and another Of the
Texans, which terminated in tho complctcaroute
of the former, with loss on both sides, but %Isinci-
pally on the part of the Mcxicans and that Santa
Ana, so far from being in the engagement at the
time, was and i, in the city Of Mexico.
Among the documents received by the last mail
is IA proclamation of Gen. Houston, IN which he
gives an account Of the battle, generally conGrma-
tory of the foregoing. lie states the Mexican
force at 500, and its loss at from l6 10 20 his
own force ut 750, one man wounded. He states
thai Santa Ana was in the b IT,.
There are other vague and indefinite rumors Of
IA battle, in which the Mexicans sustained a loss of
about 900 men, but We imagine that they are all
magniied variations of that referred to above.

IMPORTANT FROM TENAS.
From The New Orleans Bulletin, May

FROM the Nfn orleans Bhictn, way ..
We have been politely iavourtd with the fol-
lowing eN,racto Of a letter toa gentleman Of this city,
from Naicliioches, Which goes still further 10 cor
rohoraie the account received by Tie LeHhni,
which, We publish to-day.
The substance of which is, that an express has
arrived here, Via Nstclritoelcs. from Texas, and
is confirmed by Gen. Games, that General
Houston, of Texas, has conquered Santa Ana and
his army. Santa Ana himself and his soldiers all
prisoners. The forces of Santa Ana were esii-
mated at 100 and those of Houston GOO. The
express further states that ilouston's army de-
stroNed half Of the Mexicans, and the loss on his
side was q killed and 20 wounded.
The saddle Of Santa Ana was taken aud
brought in, and is OF II costly order, being cstima-
ted MS worth between q or 800 dollars, and the
express who brought in the news, rode on the
hofse OF Santa Ana.
All hi, is indeed cheering news, calculated 10
arouse all the better feelings, which are implanted
in the hearts of those who can rcJolcc AT the tri-
umpll OF frermen over their civil and savage OPP
prcssors. The Intelligence received early ycs,er-
day morning, aud Which is also published, will be
seen 10 be confirmed by the news brought by the
Leyaul, witt, the difference only that the number
oi the enemy KILLED and taken by Gen. Houston
vary in amount.
lluAp QuARTERs, Army, Alrtl %, 1880.
10 Me pcoph toma,ds Nacogdoohes:
We met Santa Ana on the 2lst we attacked
him with coo men, he had 100 infantry, two
honi,zers-wc entirely routed his whole force,
killed hall OF his men, and took the rest prisoners.
Santa Ana himself, aud all his principal officers
arr our prisoners. The history of war does not
furnish parallel to the battle. We had & killed
and 20 wounded. | have not time or | would

BALTIMORE, May II.
BANK Of Hnyland Trials At BeE-AW.-Thc
conspiracy case whicl, was commenced on the
opening ofthe adiournrd term of Hartford Coun-
" Court, on the liist Monday Of this month, was
continued by the examination of Testimony on the
part Of the State until Tuesday last, when the
Counsel for the State abandoned the prosecutions
as unlrnablC.
On Wednesday, the case against Evan Poultney
alone was taken up: the examination Of testimony
ON the part of the State occupied the court and
Jury until noon Thursday. The defence was then
$ atcd by Henry Stump, Esq. and the evidence in
supporto of it consumed about half an hour, when,
after an argument by Mcssrs. Bond and Gill Tor
the State, aud by Mcssrs Constable and Scott for
the defendant, the cause was committed TO the iu-
~, who, after an absence Of eight Minutes, re-
turned with a verdict of NOT Gr,LTy.
On Yesterday morning the only remaining IN
dictment vas abandoned by the Counsel for the
State, who announced to the Court their unanimous
opinion entertained at all times since the pend
ing Of the indictment-tIai the charge it contain
ed was untrue in point Of fact, and could not be
supported.
The result of these prosecutions, 10 support
which il was only necessary to show that the par
ties had committed a fraud upon the Bank, con
olusiycly establishes the fact Of their innocence.
