TExAs.-By tho steam ship Savanna, Cap
din Wade, which arrived in port early yesterday
morning, we have received Texas dates to the
Sth instant.
The Galveston MrrEet is stated in the Cour-
Ter, to be by no means active, Though aPpearaii-
ces were hatterng for fair, IL Ultimate fall and
winter trade. The products OF agriculture has
been so large the past season, that the demand
for provisions from abroad will be very limited.
Vegetables are in great abundance, and potatoes
and onions are said to be selling cheaper in
Galveston than in New Orleans.
The wreck OF the schooner seen by the Sa-
wanna, bottom upwards, is believed to have
been that of the Delaware, Captain Brook6eld,
whose loss was published some time ago.
GALVESTON, Nov. 8, 1870,

RUMoR5.--It Is rumored that the FedcTalists
under Canales have been defeated and driven
back again into Texas by Gen. Arista-that the
victory reported to have been gained over the
Centralists by Canales, was only the surprise
and vanqushmcnt Of the rear guard of Ari5ta's
army, and that upon an encounter with the main
army, the Federaiists were entirely routed. We
place little dependence upon the rumor. Yet,
from the tenor OF a private note we have receiv-
ed from San Antonio, under date of Oct 25th,
we are induced to believe that the report of
Arsta's capture, which was published a few
DAYS since with some confidence of its truth, is
a matter OF SEINE doubt. 1t appears from that
note that Arsta is endeavOring to form alliance
with some of the northern tribes of Indians OF
this republic, with view to encounter not only
the Federalists, but to harrass Texas.
1t is also rumored, by the way of Austin, that
another revolution has broken out in the city of
Mexico, and that Gomez Farias is now at the
head of affairs. The cause of the late CONNIE
ton is the breach of faith on the part Of the
Central party, IN not pardoning the insurgents
1924, agreeable to stipulation. There is thought
to be some probability in this rumor
By private note from San Antonio, kindly
furnished US by Maj. VIM. T. Braumun, we
learn that part of the volunteers under Col.
Howard, have returned from their expedition
against the Cumanches, and that they had an en-
counter with the Indians in BeaPs Colony, on
the Rio FriO, burning their town and putting
them TO fight. Owing to the treachcry and
misconduct of The principal spy of the whit s, the
| warriors mostly cuntrived to escape--thrce In
dams only were killed. The main body of the
| warriors were absent on excursion to Lam
pass, which town it is said they have pillaged
and burnt, carrying the women and children into
captivity.
| President Lamar is said to be dangerously ILL,
and wholly unable to attend to his official du-
| ties.
MEETING or CoNceEsS.-I'here was in Austin
on Sunday last, sufficient number of members
of Congress to form a quorum in both branches
Of the Legislature the succeeding day, the
regular day for opening the session. The mes
sage of the President, we understand, will be
very brief, merely making reference to the reports
from the different Bureaus
