The steamship Galveston Capt. Wright, arrived
yesterday from Lavaca and Galveston. She has
brought files Of papers from the several cities OF
Texas. Our last adyices from San Antonio were to
the 10Th. There is in the Austin Democrat Of the
10th letter from the editor, dated San Antonio Sept.
l2th which is the latest.
Capt. Cady (whom COL Harvey has left in COM
mand of Preside Rio Grande, and whose men, in
crossing the river to return to San Antonio, WERE as
our San Antonio correspondent stated, fired on by the
Mexicans who lay in Ambush } has furnished to the
acting Adjutant-General at San Antonio an Official
account of the affair differing in essential from
our correspondents letter. He also furnishes the
following list of those wounded and missing after the
attack:
]. Paris, wounded slightly, private Capt Eyans's
company; J. Wyatt, wounded slightly, private Capt.
Evans's company; r. Reid, missing, private; E. Pre-
wit, missing, private Capt. Evanss company; J. Rid
die, missing, butcher.
The Victoria Advocate of the 10Th has the follow
ing paragraph:
We learn that an express was despatched TO meet
the Kentucky and Tennessee regiments Of volunteers
their way to San Antonio, instructng them not TO
proceed to that place. but to direct their steps TO Fort
Lavaca where they will remain until further orders,
which will depend upon the result Of the negotiation
now going on with Mexico The reason Of the order
is, that by quarterng the bay the transportation
of supplies, learn, would be saved The Kentucky
regiment, learn, would cross the Colorado at La
grange yesterday, and may be expected here early
next week.
A party of Indians, says the Austin New Era Of
the 18th inst, supposed to be about fifteen number,
attempted to steal portion Of the horses belonging
to Capt. Highsmiths company, but discovered
and driven of. small party pursued several miles,
but owing TO an accident, failed to oyertake and
chastise them. The Captain started their trails in
few hours after them, with forty Of his men, and
has been gone several days We hope that he may
be successful in trailing them to their camp and
fighting them, without any regard to their proesta-
tons of innocence or of being tredtyGkng Indians.
Major Neighbors Indian agent, who has returned
from Washington tells that the Keches and ZONES
left him he reached the borders Of Texas;
and Camanche informed him that ii was their
intention to steal horses before they reached their
homes.
The schooner Edward Tlllett says the Galveston
News of the 10Th inst, which left Point Isabel about
three weeks since for New Orleans with about fifty
volunteers the sick list, from Indiana, Mississippi,
and Alabama, had got within about fifty miles of the
BaZe at the commencement of the late Storm which
struck her with much violence that she was COM
PEELED to before it under bare poles, and was
driven ashore about two miles this side the Sabine
Pass on Sunday night the 7th inst, where she re-
mains high and dry. No lives lost from the
storm, though SIX of The volunteers died after leaving
Point Isabel-four at sea, and two after the vessel
went ashore. We have been unable to obtain all
their names Among them Mr.. Hughes and
Mr.. Chase from Indiana and Messrs. Davis and ABB
stance from Mississippi.
Capt. Payne, United States Ordnance officer at this
post, has repaired to Sabine Pass with provisions, &C.
to relieve them.
