Mississippi Democrat. (Carrollton, Miss.) 1844-18??, 1846-03-25

The steamship galveston, capt. wright,
from Arkansas and Galveston, arrived yes.
terday. We have dates by her from Cor.
pus Christi to the sth, and from Houston
and Galveston TO the llth inst.
The Galveston left Arausas at 1880 A.
NJ, Wednesday the llth. The main bo-
dy of Gen, Taylor's army had marched to-
wards the Brazos Santiago, and the last re-
giment with Gen. Taylor and staff, left on
The morning of the lllh. Much excite.
ment prevailed among the troops from the
rumor that large force of Mexican troops
we're stationed at the Rio Grande, and would
oppose the concentration Of Gen. Tayor's
forces. The spirit of war WINS favorable
feeling with the troops, aud hopes long de-
ferred were supposed TO be on the eve OF
realization. The squadron of transports
are to leave on the Goth inst. under the
convoy ofthe cutter Woodbury., Capt Eos.
ter, and steamer Monmouth. A procla.
nation has been issued by Gen. Taylor
to the inhabitants in tho vicinity Of the
contemplated Post, breathing a friendly
moderate spirit, well calculated to allay
the excited feelings OF the people Cor.
pus Christi has been virtually abandoned,
and those hangers on that intest all armies
are leaving for the east as fast as possible.
1000 troops are said to be on the Rio
Grande.
We have no news OF Importance, says
the same paper Of the Sth inst, from the
Rio Grande, since our last number. We
understand Gen. Melia had returned TO Ma.
tamoras on the ID inst. We believe the
number Of troops said to have been on
this side the Rio Grande, under the com
mand Of Garcia, Canales and Saveriego
has been greatly exaggerated probably
more than one half. 1t is, however, diff
cult, to obtain correct accounts ofthe mum
Der, their movements or their object.
1t would appear that some Of the Texas
folks already begin TO think that the lon'
, starr State is too thickly settled to be com
Portable, for we learn from the Houston
Star that a number Of young men who hay,
been for some time engaged as rangers OF
the western frontier, intend 10 organic
/ into company, elect a commander, an
emigrate 10 California. 1t is believed tina
, at least one hundred men in the vicinity {
