Little Rock Theatre.

Under the name of the National Theatre. ihis establishment has been refiiied and open ed, win respec,ubly company, by Messrs. OLIVER & Co, managers. The first Perfor- nance. Ut which we were present on Friday night last, was highly crediiable. The play was the s.IIunchback, by Sheridan Knowles, and as popular piece, which we had often seen strongly cast, and the remembrance of which was vivid with us, we were disposed to be slightly critical.
 Mrs Wilkinson acted the part of "Julia," i" with admirable effect. Her manner was de- eided and graceful, her enunciaiioa clear and her voice sweet. We have only to regret that some of the mos, beautiful things in her part, were marred by the inefliciency of su- bordinaie characters. .sMaster Waller,n was we'll done by Mr. Leicester, who. once be- fore, belonged to ar theatrical company in ihis, city, where his talents are well known and appreciated, We have seen, at the s.Park Theaire,r Master Walters, of fer less mer,t than Mr. L's.
 Mr. Herbert is all old actor, and an old ia vori,e, and consequently we shall take the liberty of saying. that Il he would '.siick to the book" and not improrise so frequently, his representation would be more effective. This eriemporising, by a player, is not plea

Acquittal of Mr. C. A. Galloway

twill be seen, from the report of the Grand Jury of Glayson county, Tel xas, which we publish below, that CHARLES 4. GALLO WAY has been discharged by the court, no, orly without all indictment, but upon terms altogether honorable to him.
 To'those of car readers, who may not be informed as tc the circumstances Of the rem conire waich led to. the melancholy death of Col. Holland Coffee, we will briefly state the facts which, from reliable sources, have reached Us. Mir. Galloway, il appears, mar ried niece of Col. Coffee; bu,, reports having been circulated as to the unworthi- ness of some member of the family, of the latter, Galloway refused that any Further in. tercourse should exist between them, and at once cut of all connexion. Tkis pro- duced, lsom Col. Coffee, . challenge ae.!. its acceptance by Mir. c. The isolated situ- alton of the post made i, a matter of difficulty to procure suitable weapons, and, after a meeting was determined upon, the seconds could moi agree us to inc kind of pistols io be used. Mr. G, proposed to figh, with a pair of Deringer pistols (ofering Col. C. the cho,ce), of <omewha, celebrated character, which once belonged to Col. Wharton Rec tor. But this was objected to, and the par ties withdrew from the field without com bat. Some lime afterwards, Coffee entered the store of Galloway, armed with shot. gun, pistols, Sc. and meeting him nearly a, the door, drew him into ihe street. and com. menced an attack upon him. Galloway caught .he gun before il could be levelled upon him, rushed under i,l and inflicted q mortal woand upon his adversary.
 This is fair ela.ion of the facts tha, have reached us. Mr Galloway offered himself up to the civil authc rites, and was hoand over in the sum of 5000, for his appear anee al court The resal, of the invesliga- ton of the Grand Jury will be found below.
 Charles Galloway resided maay years in , this place, and won the fsiendship ef is citizens by his smiahilisy of ehssae- ter and gen.lemanly deportment. For our sell, we have known him from boyhood, and so intimately. iha. we feel assured, however impulsive he may be. nothing ongenerous. unnAnly. or dishonorabls can attach to his name. !, may be supposed, then, with how
 
 much pieasnre we publish the following: STATK or TEx.s, s

We cannot bn, admire the graceful and ingenious manner in which our friend and neighbor of the Gazette, repndiates the doctrine adopted in his paper of the 18th, for Whig policy. Aud if we had any dis position to laugh at him, the fraakness will, which he acknowledges that She is neither a Prophet nor the sou of Prophet" would in itself disarm us.

Letter from Presidio,

The annexed letter, from ous valued cor respondent and friedd, was received by Sum day nights mail. ltpresenis the latest news of the movement of the Arkansas regiment, and other matters of interest in relation to the army. IL is evidently written under great depressiob, ife effect of disease, and has but liise of the sprighiliness which formerly characterized his letters to us, We hope. in the absence of more gentle hands, iha, he has sometimes the soothing attention of some one of the senoriias, whom he describes so we'll. That he has not received our letters, is strange, as we have written frequent ly since the arrival of he troops at San Antonio. lf e8

CAMP NEAR PREsIpro. pEL Rio GRAspE.
 Octoher l2 lsi6

sl
 My DEAR l.; Alter fatiguing march we have, ut length arrived here The coun- try, through which we passed, was as unin- leresting as prairie and scattered musquite bushes could render il. The night that we pitched our camp. on the American side of the Rio Graade. the Alcalile os Pfssidio came over wiih a flag of truce, and claimed pro- teciion for the ciiisens--s,a,ipg, that the only forces sla,ioaed there, had retired at our approach. The second day after, we eros sed the rivera. least the Dragoons and Arkansas Cavalry, and pitched camp al he edge of the town. Yesterday, Gen. erai Woal came over, in person, with ihe Artillery saad Iaiaatry, and moved us all 10 ous present camp,--about two and a, haIl miles from Pres,dio. How long we shaifre- main here, God only knows. Despatches have been received, shiing .hal Gen. Taylor has taken Monterey, after desperate s,rug- gle, and that aa arasistiee oa eight week has been concluded. Tundershnd that General Wool will not move from his prssen, posi- sion, until he hears from Taylor. If so, we may lie here for weeks.
 Since the news of the afnsissiee, and our peaceful and bloodless entry into Presidio, all are convinced that ihe var is quite con- cluded, are anxious to retnrn---none more so thsa myself
 iam jus. recovering from . severe attack of syphas fever, ss shs trsmulousnass of ny writing will show. Indeed, I have several s-s.A ... ..--.s@ A..s ..uf;l rn..erxl.. ., could nos rcad what ] hsd written. As one

timeyi vbs unable so yak myself, and hshOughs | vas al up wilh me. Bot. be- iieve lhase had my probasion, and will re- cover rspidly. Although condemned, from weakness, to ford the R,o Grands ignomin- lously, la wagon, 1 had sifo g1tiicasion of seeing thal cur Regiments was she irss flag unfarled upon the soil of Mexico. Y { the eanlnsszd is osdered. to leave here short- ly, and I can possibly 6ad any safe means of getting lo Camafgo, or. sonu other town, having navigahle communications with the GuIf. ! shall start for Littie Rock.
 fl was said, previous to the news from Monterey, with authority that tue Arkan- sas Cavalry would go on, with the Dngoons, to Monciova. aad there Col Yell would rs- main, with four companies, while the two-- Pike's and Pressaa,a, would proceed. with the Dragons, so joiu Gen. Taylor. The excursion 10 Chihuahua has, believe, been quite abandoned. l am sick of ranging over an uninIerrsting country, looking for ar enemy we cannot find, and, aller we leave here, my inability ss travel on horseback, will afford me good plea for returning. Capt. Pike advises the course have determined 10 adopt, and would, himself, gladly be on his way home. lie is most anxious for our immediate discharge, which may take place.
 The town of fPresidio is very much like tha, of San Antonio, but somewhat more clean- ! ly, and shaded. here and there, with trees. In approaching it, it has quite a Moorish appearance. The inhabitants are much lairer than those at San Antonio. Some of the wo- men are truly beautiful, Their persons are not so di,ninutise, and their features regular and complications clear and pure.
 l had expected that should have to val, for some time, before an opportunity would offer to send ihis; but, understand .l.a. an express starts disectly--so, Buenos mochcs will endeavor to follow this soon, myself My love to all. Yours,
 LAW. P. s. Since writing the above, fnd the express will not start to-day. An express has just arrived from San Antonio, with lots of letters, but none for me. 'Tis strange, lis passing strange! But, n importe, ] have just changed my mind about being dischar-
  ged, as they say we will push on to join Gen. Taylor. a..d will either have a fight or be discharged, at SaltiIlo--about 250 miles. How could leave, under such circumstan- cesi cannot entertain the idea for mo- nient, even m my present weak and reduced eoaAi.:s,n.
 l shall soon be out of reach of the letters that have been written, (if there be any.) Gen. Mitchell has arrived al San Antonio, aud it is supposed Clendennin is there.
 Yours, Sc, L. A. ".
