FROM TExAs-A passenger by the ~ Orleans
boat of Thursday, has furnished contemporary
with slip from the Bee office, containing disastrous
intelligence from the Texan army. 1t Is impossible
to say whether or not the accounts can be relied on
but 1t seems to us to need confirmation.
tappears that portion of the invading forces,
alter capturing the town of Mier were attacked by
a large party OF Mexicans, who after desperate
conflict, retook the town, and captured $50 Text
ans. II is further stated that 400 Mexicans were
killed during the engagement, bnt only two Texans
escaped.
The following from the Houston Morning Star
gives the news more in detail.
Since our paper went to press this morning, we
have seen Mr.. Needham, who arrived last night d.
rect from Bexar. He states that Gen. Somervell,
with portion of the army that renamed under his
command about 200 men, had returned to Bexar
Anotherportlon OF 300 men, lett the command of
Gen. SOmervell, elected Col. VIM. S. Fisher COM
mander, and went down to Mier, and captured the
town but shower of rain came up just after they
had captured it, that they could moi use their rifles
to advantage, and the Mexican army arrived, and
after desperate engagement, retOok the town, and
captured abouttwo hundred or two hunured and fifty
of our troops. During the engagement our troops
captured seven pieces of artillery, which were re-
taken by the Mexicans.
About 400 Mexicans were killed in the engage
ment-oniy four Texans were killed. 1t is not
known upon what terms the Texans surrendered.
Only two Texans escaped, who were found at Con
these two men that MIR. Needham derived this
news. The names of these two nien are Chalk and
Sinclair They say that they secreted themselves
IN some canes in or near the town, while the Tex
ans were fighting in the stone houses and they left
in the night after the firing had ceased. They say
also, that the fight lasted from II O'Clock Kill p M.
the next day, and during all this time only four Tex
ans were killed, and four hundred Mexcens were
killed. The story seems quite too incredible for be-
lief. The army under Gen. Somervell heard moth
ing of ii until they had reached Bexar. Mr.. Need
ham says Sinclair reported that the Msxicans were
commanded by Gems. Ampudia and Canales, and
that the whole MEXICAN force was 1900 or 1000

DRY DOCKS, AND Day FAcfs. -Ow friend, "the
devil upon two sticks" in Wall street. having pock-
eted hs $l700, including that "coal ash bill" bid
defiance othe wings Of the Common Council, de-
molished the contract committee, and annihilated
Alderman Atwill, has now turned his attention to
!" dry docks" accompanied with whisk Of his tail
al Fernando Wood.
And FIRST 1t is very amusing TO see this distinguish.
ed financer of the Courier and Enquirer, taunting
Fernando Wood for certain operations in the Phe-
nix Bank, which are common to all the banks in the
country. We have for long time been acquainted
with the extent of Col. Webb's talents as fnan
cler-nor are we alone in approaching his talents
they are fully understood by the United States
Bank, the Baltimore Trust Company, the North
American Trust Company, and various other SINH
lar institutions not even excepting Mr.. Comptro
Ter Williamson's department OF this city, and the
Committee on Police, Watch and Prisons Of The
Board of Assistant Aldermen. But though well
known financler, he has never been known as
civil engineer, in the matter of dry docks, wet
docks, and all sorts of docks. Let us examine the
matter.
In Saturdays Courier and Enquirer, there are seve
raj columns devoted to the subject of"sectional dry
docks" in opposition to Gbert's Balance Dock"
recommended 10 Congress by Mr.. Wood, in late
official report. Since the recent exposure by the
wings, OF the Couriers motives" in its late attack
upon Alderman Davies and the contract committee,
will of course suspect its motives in thus at
lacking Mr.. Wood and Gilbert's Balance Dock
For part, we know but little of the relative
merits of the two docks in question. Both have
their advocates. That Congress and the public at
large may have the subject fully before them, and
be prepared to form correct judgment upon the
subject, we have made some enquiries on the other
side, and find that great deal can be said of
