The Houston Telegraph of the 20th in letter
from Washington, says:
Com. Moore arrived here on Friday last, and pre-
sented his petition TO both Houses, accompanied
with book, praying the honorable Congress to
give his conduct touching the navy, the most rigid
Investigation. Nothing has yet been done on his
court martial upon his case, it will necessarily be
kept here some weeks longer than il otherwise
would have been. 1t was expected before he arrived,
that Congress would have adjourned on the 23d IN
stant or as the appropriation bill passed.
The schooner Galvelston Capt Ricketts, was lost
about the 10Th OF January, and all on board are sup
posed to have perished
The schooner sailed from Galveston for New Or
leans on the 18th inst, in ballast. On the 25th,
news reached Galveston that portion OF the deck
and other parts OF the vessel, which had been iden-
ufed had dred ashore on Pelican Island end
Point Bolivar. On the mig hit OF her departure
norther came up, which it is supposed may have
struck her while unprepared and capsized her.
There were on board, beside the captain the mate,
and three four hands, whose not

Navy; MIR. Degrrs, wife and child MIR. Klein; a
| German female name unknown, and perhaps or

SANTA FE.-In relation TO recent meeting of the
troops in that place, letter published in the Boon
vile Observer, states that
On November 9th the dragons at Santa Fe were
ordered to march 70 Chihuahu, which they refused
10 do until their wages should be paid. The amount
of their wages had been placed in the hands of the
officers TO be paid TO the soldiers but the Off
cars had refused to pay 1t The soldiers threat
ened that unless their wages should be paid, they
would break open every store in the place. The
cannon were then brought out, and an attempt made
to force them into measures; whereupon fight
ensued, in which several persons lost their lives
| The soldiers became incensed at the traders and
swore vengeance against them. The traders became
alarmed and armed themselves for defence in case OF
| an attack.
The matter was settled, however, without any far
ther violence, and the soldiers went off singing and
shouting, but fears entertained that they would
| again return and commit some depredations
