From Galveston and the Rio Grande.
The steam ship Palmetto, Capt Smith, ar
rived on Sunday evening from Galveston, hav-
ing sailed on the 18th inst.
Accounts to the 9TH inst have been receiv-
ed from the Brazos at Galveston. There was
still nothing later than the evening OF the 23d
of Feb. from Monterey
Two companies of the North Carolina vol
unteers arrived at Brazos on the 9th instant.
Another Mexican spy was shot on the Sd
inst, near Matamoros. He had been arrested,
and was endeavoring to escape from his guard
when he was shot dead
A Mexican engaged in the murder of the
Rogers family and other outrages, has been
arrested in Matamoros, and will be tried before
the alcade.
The Americans residing in Mier evacuated
the town on the approach of the Mexicans.-
Previous to leaving, they made a surrender OF
their goods TO the alcade, and took a receipt
therefor
Col. Curtis was determined to make a strong
defence at Camargo. To make an opening
for the play of his artillery on the approaches
to the town, he ordered two houses to be torn
down. The order was executed by setting
fire to them A strong wind arising the flames
were communicated to other buildings, and a
great many consumed, principally locales Of
| no great value
The impression in Matamoros is that Gem
Taylor had fallen back on Monterey, but they
know nothing authentic on the subject The
tenor OF our previous advices leads us to .
different opinion.
The Flag contradicts the report that the
| Mexicans have crossed the Rio Grande
From the Civilian we learn that Capt Symp
tom, a famous Gulf Pilot, left Galveston or
the 4th inst, via Rrazos Santiago, for the A
merlcan squadron before Vera Cruz. He wa,
sent for by the Commodore, and will, it il
presumed be employed in the operations nea
Vera Cruz, carrying dispatches, DISSEMINATING
troops, and succoring vessels in distress, i
necessary. Capt. S. knows the harbor an;
bar of Vera Cruz well and is a capable pilot
as well as one of the most fearless and ener
getic men alive
A gentleman from Austin informs the edi
tor of the Houston Telegraph that the twc
Shawnee Indians, who were with the party
of Surveyors under Capt Bartlett Sims, wheI
they were attacked by the Witchitas, hav'
returned to Austin, and brought the horse:
and packs which belonged to the party The,
stated that after the fight the Witchitas cam,
TO them and demanded the horses and packs
but the Shawnees told them that they wer
their own, and if they took them, the warrior
of the Shawnees would make them pay daar
ly for them. The Witchitas then left then
and went high up on the Banco The Shaw
nees saw the body of Mr.. Grant, but did no
see the bodies of either of the other person
who are missing
