The steam packet Galveston, Capt. Wright, ar
rived at this port Yesterday morning, having len
Galveston Saturday evening. She brings papers to
her day Of sailing but they are almost totally bar
rem OF news. ...
There is not one word Of intelligence from the ar
my on the Rio Grande. An attempt was made yes
terday to give curreaeylo q, rumor that an action
had taken place, and our troops been defeated but
il was repeated only with derision. ~
The result Of the congressional election In Texas
is as uncertain as ever. The Galveston Civilian OF
Saturday has returns made up, far as heard from
then, to which we could add few more from private
letters but prefer 10 wait yet longer before giving
the local returns presenting readers little
save for the final result SO far, Williams has re-
ceived 96s votes; Pillsbury, Sol; Cooke, sO4.
The News Of the 10Th states that Capt Haigler
formerly member Of Congress from San Pstrico
county, was not long since shot through the heart
by Mr. Pool The act was committed in the
town Of Golad. Capt III. expired instantly, and
Pool was placed under arrest. The circum-
stances which led To this unfortunate event not
given A correspondent writes US simply that Capt.
H. was shot sin an ARRAY" He was lately survey
or Of one Of the western counties.
We have nothing further from Austin than is con-
tanned in our letters, one Of which we append
