GALVESTON. Aug. Il. lsii.
The steamship Republic leaves here for New.
oasns today The Yellow Fever has prevailed
~, % some extent since the 4th of July, but
Il, now almost entirely abaied Upward OF $50
Sa,hs have occurred, but the fatality has bsea
,,oSped pretty much to European cmigrants
There have been some cases also in Houston.
bu! the country is generally healthy. There
ps,e, was better prospect for fair Crops OF
ssry description, especially Of Corn. The Cot
TN crop is much better than it ever was knewn
% in the country, and the planters are busiy
.nsaged in picking. We have peace through
,u,our country Reports reached here few days
40 (and unfortunately found their way into the
rvspapers) that Corpus Christi had been at
asksd BY the Csmanches and several Of the cit.
,as of that place killed. This has been contra
aced 10 day BY gentleman who arrived here
as night directly from that vicinity. The In
h.ns had been lowering around that place, but
had made no attack. Santa Aha is again
making his Idle threats against Texas-they are
p!regarded here. If he comes we wlll try and
,ve hm cordial and aearm reception. In 1855
be said he would driuk of the waters of the 5
Ene, and continue his march to Washington
City," He d!d bolh-no. as The conquering hero
but as Te1ca prisoner. If we get MIN into
onr possession age.;, ne will rot be allowed to
lave our territory even as a Tezan prisoner.
Our Piesidenue Election docs not excite much
interest, it being pretty well settled that Hon
AssoS JosEs, the present Secretary of State,
will be elected by an overwhelming majority
He is well qualified for lhe ofiice-a man Of un.
doubted integrity and transcendan, ablIites-he
has flied several highly important Offices with
credit TO himself and the country. Nc man is
more richly deserving of the confidence OF his
counrymen, aud no man has it to a fuller extent.
The steadlast friend and warm supporter Of Gen
Houston and his policy generally, if elected
vii do all in his power TO carry out what Hous-
ton hes 50 nobly begun.
The trial of Commodore E. W. Moore has no,
ret been brought 10 clos,. 1t has been very
tedious owing to the great difficulty Of getting
soarge number of witnesses to attend as have
been summoned. 1t must be closed in the course
Of few days, when | viii forward to you the
PARTICULARS There has been u good deal Of sick.
ness in Washington, which has retarded the pro.
ceedngs of the Court. Every thing has been
thoroughly examined, though it mas been no
smsil undertaking TO wade through the immense
mass of evidence taken In the case. Our Navy
is being re6t,ed TO some extent. Gen Murphy,
the late Charge from the U. States, and a. NJ
Green, Esq. late U. S. Consul have both died
here, as you have no donb. seen from the papers,
within short time of each other. Gen. 7. A.
Harvard, the present Charge, has arrived and is
now at Washington. He has made very ia
yorable impression here, aud will no doubt fill
the Office with great credit to himself and with
honor to his country. No appointment has as
ye, been made of Consul to supply the vacancy
uccasioned by the death OF the late lamented Mr.
Green. He was universally respected and es
teemed here, and surely no man ever more richly
deserved it. Respectfully, ARDEJoY.
