AFFAIRS IN TEXAS.

BY the steamer Charles Morysn, which arrived q
New Oresas on the LIST inst, We have Galveston
dates 10 the asth ult. The yellow fever has almost
entirely disappeared from Galveston, but continues
70 prevail with great severity at Houston The
which caused so much damage among the towns i'm
medisely the coast, seems to have prevailed some
what extensively. The following we take from Tae
Galreston Journal Of the 25th:
TIKI STORM AND IT'S CoysreuIycEs-We are
psip.d TO learn from every quarter from which any
nea epce has yet ress bed US that the effects OF last
weeks storm were more disastrous than our gioonl-
est authorizations foreboded. II would seen thst Gal

of Capt Wood Of the Neptune are spoken OF IN the
highest terms, and to him principally Is attributed the
success Of the operation. The Guadaloupe reports
that there is wood left on the Bsyou At al. Inc
Star says that the most gloomy apprehenslons were
INDUCED 10 Houston in regard 10 the fate OF Calves
ton which were relieved only by the arrival OF the
Guadeoupe.
FURTHER FROM THE SroRN.-The steamer fronths
wet brings US news Of equally disastrous conse-
ouences as the above. These rumors, are, however,
very conflicting and il seems almost impossible TO
gain any information Of perfectly reliable charac-
ter That the amount Of damage IL very greatly ex-
sggorat,d we hope and believe Al Matagorda 1t -
said that there but two houses lett STANDING and
Al Seuris but Tbe steamboat Kate Ward was
lost and the captain with his two brothers and nine
of the crew were drowned. The damage to the bay
craft a, this point has evidently been immense and the
sacrifice of life very great. -Four persons, 1t Is said
wee killed by the falling OF houses in Ma,agorta
The cotton and sugar crops OF Matagorda County
NAV be considered total loss. At PAlaci"s the dan
age was great, some accounts state that every noGso
was blown down, but lives were lost. Corpus
Christi not yet heard from. Several cases OF yell
low fever have occurred at 1ndianoa. As We have
before remarked. these are the reports which have
been receiyed how accurate they are remains to be
seen That loss of life and property has been fear
ful however there can be no question. The names
of the persons killed, "a gather them from Ct
rltAn Extra of this morning, are ~ follows:
Lost or RE Kate Wdrd-Capt. Ward, two brothers.
and nine of the crew.
Killed m Matogordo-Mrs Duffy, Dir. Merriman,
and a negro woman and child.
