FROM TEXAS,

By the arrival yesterday of the fine steam ship Galveston. Capt Wright, 36 hours from Galveston, we are in receipt of papers to the Huh inst, but find little news ill their col umns. Nothing later from the army It stated that very strict lookout was kept for the straggers and hangers-on of. the army, and none are allowed to remain in or near the camp.
 ELECTIoNs.-Partial returnssof the Con gressional election in the Western District snm up--Wiliams, 968; PIisbury, S61, Cooke, 801-the vole for Messrs. Lewis, Megglnson and Green is not fully stated.- The Galveston Civilian, of the llth inst, says :-"'The returns of the election, as will be observed, come in but slowly. Accounts, thus far, are favorable to the prospects of Col. Williams, though his election is not altogether certain, as large portion of the district is yet to hear from. The contest will, il is thought, lie between Messrs. Will jams, Pilisbury and Cooke, the extreme West, which is regarded as the strong hold Of the last named gentleman, not having yet been reported.'' The News remarks LA Yankee could hardly guess at the final resulto 4
 There were many rumors in town yester- day about battle being fought between Gen. Taylor and the Mexicans. There is no Foundation for any of them. No such news had reached Galveston at the time the steam ship sailed, and of course could not have been brought by it to thescity. The whole story has probably originated from the fact that Gen. Tay Tor appeared before Maanioras, and afterwards moved to the camp between Matamoras and Point Isabel, which he had selected before the movements. from Corpus Christi. There is but one road from San. PatrIcio to the Rio Grande. Thatroad leads to point directly opposite Matamoros; ano-i ther road leads thence to Point Isabel or the Brassos St. Iago, the portsof Matamoros, to which place all the supplies of the American army had been directed The position of Gen Taylor is upon the latter road, near his porriofsnpplies, and in order to reach it he was necessarily obliged to pass .Matamoros, and his advance to his point of destination

has been represented us q retreat. From this movement, we believe, all these rumors have risen We have no news of any battle, and we never expect to have any of a deieat--- The present position of Gen Taylor, If he be where he intended to %, Is one of the best that could possibly be takea.--it conmand, i. the upper and lower ferry 1t preserves the communication between the army and the Gulf, the only source of supply; and while it euables the General to act on the offensive whenever he thinks proper, he cannot be at tackled even by asuperior force with any prospect of being beaten, Taylor, Worth and Twiggs have been fighting lndiansatoo long to be cought ina trap.-.T.

 MAIL RoBBER CAUGHT,- Officer Gilmore, of the Memphis police, and Mir. Turner, the Postmaster at Memphis, left this city with their prisoner, William Vaughhan, for Mobile, on their way to Montgomery, yestcrday.--- They arrived here on Friday last, buthoping that delay of few days, and silence, might lead to the detection of others here, the matter has not been mentioned before The facts of the robbery. are as follows: On the night of the llth or l2th March last the mail bag be-. tween Tuscaloosa and Montgomery was opened by means of false keys, and several packages containing money and checks were stolen therefrom On that night the prisoner, who had been formerly driver of tic mail on that route, was tho only passenger in the
 mail stage,-having been .'franked' throughte
 Augusta. At Montgomery he left the stage
 for time, during which he riggeds himself out in new suit of clothes, bought trunk and other things, and refused to goin the es stage nnless he was allowed 10 pay his .fare, Sc. A short while afterwards the robbery. was discovered, and aTreasury note for $50 ] which had been in the mail was traced to Vaughan as the note which he gave in pay Inent for the cloths bought by him in Mont gomery. When he was arrested last week at Memphis, three keys were found upon him, zach of which fitted the locks on the mail bag which was robbed It Is fully expected that he had accomplices, as that mail was known to contain some vely valuable essmoney letters'~-one of tke missing ones had over $500 in it.-.F c.
