From The New. Orleans Pieayune.


By the arrival Yesterday of the steamship Gal
weston we have received Galveston papers to the
9TH inst, and also papers from other parts OF
Texas.
We learn from the San AntoniO Western Ter

sticking in il. 1t had likewise been scalped
Several horses were stolen by the Indians the

Gen. Harvey Col Hariee and Capt French ar
rived in San Antonio a few days ago The latter
gentleman is 70 take charge OF the Government
train that leaves San Antonio sometime IN the
spring for III Paso. Captain French had charge
of the first train ever sent by the Government to
El Paso
The San Antonio and Mexican Gulf Railway
project is getting on very well. The city has sub
scribed $4,000 and other parties 100000.
The schooner Almedia, Capt. Smith, In attempt
ing to cross the bar of the Brazos River, on the
5th inst struck and commenced filling with water
so rapidly that there was four feet OF water ia her
bold before she could be got on the flats. The Al
media bad an assorted cargo of 500 or 1000 bar
res all insured and nearly all Of It has, probably,
been damaged seriously.
Lent Thomas, of the U. s. Army, arrived in
Galveston on the 9th inst. by the steamer Yacht,
being direct from Santa Fe, by way OF Chihuahua,
El Paso and SaltO. He brings with hlm the frst
map of New. Mexico that was probably ever exc
cuted from actual surveys and observations. This
map is a large scale, and is work OF great Ia
Dor and scientific skill. The Indian hostilites in
New Mexico still continue. The traveller from
Santa Fe to Ell Paao is constantly in danger
After Lieut.. Thomas arrived at Galveston, he
ISSs place. A The oowfns Is extract from it
The Commissioners (jointlyl have liked tho
starting point. We have secured the copper mines
and large tract of country on the ella, which we
did not expect. Col. Craig starts for the copper
mines on the 10th January, to establish post.
The point established, says the GalUeStOn Nelos,
is the intersection of the 32d parallel OF latitude
with the Rio Grande, which is about IL miles
north of FL Paso From this point the treaty pro.
vides that the line shall run due west till 1t strikes
some branch of toe Gila, and thence follow that
stream to its juncture with the Colorado. In case
said line should not strike the ella or any of it's
branches, it is then to proceed west till 1t APP
proaches the nearest point to the ella, from
which point the boundary is then to ran due north
to the ella. 1t is now ascertained that the only
branch Of the ella, the westerly line can strike,
connects with the ella, some fifty or one hundred
miles west of the copper and gold mines, and rams
in a northwesterly direction, leaving the mineral
region considerably within the United States.
1t is yet doubtful whether this west liae will
even strike this branch of the ella at all, in which
case it will have to run little beyond the meri.

the main body of the ella, being about one hun.

siderably to the south of the actual boundary OF
takes in large portion of the country that has al
ways belonged to the State Of Chihuahua.
