From the Commercial article in the Galveston
News Of Saturday last we extract the following
The weather since our last report, has been
warm, and few cases of yellow fever have oc-
CURED here, as well as Houston and in its vicinity
but they appear to be confined to people who took
infection before the cold days, and we hope that
we shall be able in our next report to announce
the disappearance of the disease. For moving OF
cotton by wagon in the interior, az well as handling
it in the presses, the season has been quite favor
able-those, however, who rely upon river naviga-
ton for marketing their produce, seem to stand a
poor chance, all rivers being at very low stage.
The frost Of the l4th has hurt sugar cane very
severely, and the crop will be considerably reduced
both in quantity and quality.
There has been increased activity in our city
trade, and the New Orleans steamers have come
full of passengers every trip.
From the list of vessels in port, it will be seen
that our harbor is well filed. Those loading out
side have had fine dispatch; the ship Minnesota,
for Liverpool, cleared with 2,640 bales cotton to-
day, which she took off in three weeks, fully as
fast as she could have been loadedin port
The supply Of cotton on factors tables has been
liberal during the week, and from Houston also
daily offerings have been made, but the trans.
actions have been limited by unwillingness of
operators to purchase mixed lists and BY the en-
HANGED pretensions Of factors in regard to prices.
The sales from Saturday to Wednesday embraced
| about 1900 bales only, without marked variation
in prices
The Herald chronicles fatal difficulty which
took place in Centeryille the night of the 18th
| instant, between Capt N. P. Speers, of that town
and Mr.. L. O. burst, planter of the county, which
resulted in the instant death of the latter. Mr.
burst received a charge Of bucksLot from gun in
the hand of Captain Speers. 1t is truly sad affair
as both are men of high standing in that commu
nifty.
The Anderson Texan states that for several
weeks past number of gentlemen from other sec
tons have been prospecting and purchasing lands
in that county, and several of the citizens Of thai
vicinity have sold out at good round prices.
The Dallas Herald of the 18th learns from gen
tleman just returned from the frontier, that Mrs
Cornett, who was lately carried away by Indian
at Caddo Village, has returned safely to her home
having been voluntarily released.
The Herald learns that other depredations ar,
being committed around Belknap and Jackboro
stealing, burning, etc. ~..
A letter dated Corpus Christi, the 10Th inst, saw
an express had just arrived at that place, bringn,
letters from Brownsville dated the l4th. Tobin'
company had entered Brownsville on the 10th, ant
were fired on by Cortinas but without harm
Brownsville was still in possession of the Ameri
cans, but was in state of close siege, and grea
anxiety was felt for the result.
4 Cortnas was supposed to have about 500 men
Cabrera was hanged in Brownsville on the 18th
and in revenge Cortinas hanged three Americans
The whole country is in dreadful condition, sui
fering horrible acts of cruelty from Cortinas.
Indian News.
From the San Antonio Texan of the 22d we es
tract the following:
One of our citizens, who returned on Saturda
I1yYl I1fp tfrnfS
citement prevails there in reference to Indian ou
RACES and depredatons. He states that the rancho
on the Frio are all deserted, with the exception
that Of DR.. Isbel. The owners, with their families
have removed to Uvalde. Many of those VIII
moved, have been on the frontier all their lives.
J Numbers of citizens living on the Sabinal hav
moved in nearer the settlements, and those remain
ing have forted up their houses.
About ten days since, some citizens of Quill
counted the moccasin tracks of ten Indians PR
ceeding towards the settlements, where shey ar
, supposed to be now.
At the time the citizens, with Lieut.. Hazen an
his men, were in pursuit of the Indians who kile
Mr.. Davenport, they crossed fresh and large trai
There were indications of number of horses ha
ing passed The citizens of Uvalde, when our il
formant left were preparing to raise a company
sixty men to follow this trail until they arrive at
; Indian village or encampment, when they expe
to recover the horses, and wipe out y such of tt
: savages as may be found there. They contempla
that most of the warriors may be absent, and TIL
they may thus have an easy victory.
