From Texas.
BY the arrival of the steamship Globe, Capt. Ell
lery, we have accounts from Brazos St. Jago up to
the Sd inst. The Brownsville Flag, of the I'd, fur
nisbes the following intelligence:
CHoLERA.--Mr. Simon L. Jones, who has Just
arrived in this place from the Upper Rio Grande,
states that the cholera is still raging with violence
in the vicinity of Laredo and the State of Coahuila.
The Inhabitants of MonclOva and the neghboring
towns said to be dying at the rate of 20 and 30
daily. Mr.. Jones thinks that the remedy there
used is more fatal than the disease. Persons when
seized with this malady are at once taken to the
river, and there made to undergo frequent bathing
in the cold stream, which in nine cases out of ten
prove fatal.
HARRY LovE.-1t will be gratifying to many of
readers to learn that there is strong reason to
suppose that Harry Love, the well-known and
daring express rider is not dead, stated by ru-
NOR short time since. We are informed that in
Monclova, where he was said to have been muir
dered, nothing was heard of any such occurrence.
THE INDIANs.-The Indians are said to be still
on the river for hundreds of miles, and in unusually
large numbers. The day before Mr. Jones left
Roma man was chased almost into the very town
by party of them. The party of men which left
tHis place. Ill pursuit. OI t16 INDIANS mas JUST re-
turned. We learn from Capt B. Wsev-for the
recovery of whose family it will be recoected the
party was organized-that the Indians have made
good their retreat with the most of their captves
and plumber This party has been absent over
twenty days, having followed the Indians to La.
redo. About twenty-five miles from Laredo they
came suddenly upon small party of savages and
retook number of mules and horses. Capt. w.
informs us that the Indians have extended their
depredations far above Laredo, and had driven off
thousands Of horses and mules.
From the Brownsville Flag, of the Both, we OK.
tract an account Of gale at Brazos St. Jago, and
Of the interior trade of Mexico:
GALE AT BRAzos ST. LGo-Loss Of Life and
Property.-The following letter has been handed
to us as giving an account of this disaster. The
Greenwood here spoken of was placed on the island,
and has been used as hotel.

We also learn that the well-bu and strongly
fastened fence surrounding the depot, and also the
guarermaster's stable, newly and well built, were
levelled with the ground. The water rose some
eighteen inches over the island under the influence
of the easterly wind, and had the violent wind
been from this quarter vestige would not have
remained to show that the island had ever been
inhabited, and probably not life saved.
Some two or three slightly built wood houses
were blown down at Pcint Isabel. We understand
that during the gale Mr.. j. H. Levi was severely
injured. This point being highly situated above
overflow is not subject to the devastating joint in
fuences of the wind and waves.
We understand that at the mouth of the river
little or no injury was DONE
Since writing the above we learn with deep re-
greet that Mr. Levi has died from the effects of the
injuries received. Mr.. Levi was highly esteemed
as an upright honorable man, and leaves family
to deeply mourn his loss.
THE INTERIOR TRADE OF MHxIco-We have
recent advces from the interior markets, but all
representing business as being in depressed and
unsatisfactory state.
Lsiterg from Durango of the 7th inst represent
the stocks On hand as large, and that although
prices, particularly of staple goods, were upheld,
sales were small and upon time The California
fever RACES at that point not being at all decreased
by late arrivals of vessels at Mazatlan with large
amounts in gold. Many are leaving for the gold
mines, and large numbers of mules are being sent
forward. They are said TO command an exorbi-
tant price at the placeros.
The Zacatecas market continues dull and the
few sales made are mostly by parties unable to
hold and the tendency of these forced sales has
been to cause great depression in prices. No i'm
provement is noticed in the mines.
Accounts from San Luis Potos represent bust
ness IN that quarter In more favorable light than
IN the places above mentioned. Large sales have
been made at fair rates, and large quantities of
goods are going forward from Monterey and Sal
filo to that place.
Inc market OF Monterey is represented as being
very dull in the sale Of all descriptions of merchan
die. The cholera is nearly over in that city, but
is rather severe IN Salto, and appears to be
making rapid strides towards the interior towns.

locomotive and baggage car were literally crushed
to eces, seriously inuring the engineer, Mr. Dodge,
and Mr.. Cronk, the fireman. The facts brought
