THB REBEL EVACUATION OF GALVESTON CoS.
FIRNED The Rsdyon.-The Houston Telegraph
OF the I'd inst states that Galveston has been
evacuated, and the movable property, public and
private, was being removed to Houston. Hon
w. p. Hill arrived at home few days ago, from
whom we gain substantially the following facts:
On the 10th ult, council of war was held at
Galveston, at which il was determined that II
was impossible to defend the city SUCCESSFULLY
he largest guns at the fortications upon the
Island were % Founders, smooth bores having a
range not exceeding two miles, while the enemy's
guns were Of the lagest caliber shooting with acI
curacy three or four miles. To await an attack
was simply to Invite the surrender or destruction
OF our troops and the city, without the power Of
lnnictng injury upon the assailants IL was
thought best, therefore, under all the circum.
| stances, to evacuate Galveston, and occupy a Do
son In the rear Of the CITY, 30 as to repe any ad.
vance or the Federal troops after they had landed
In consequence Of this determination, an order
was Issued for the removal Of all the hospital pa
uens form Galveston to Houston, which was ac-
complished Immediately. All the public and
private property was being rapidly removed to
aoustonS when Judge Hill left Galveston. The
proprietor OF the News had rented house In
houston, and announced that his next issue would
oe printed in that city, and all the other newspa-
per esta6lfsnments, II Is supposed, have done the
same The guns have been removed from the
different fortitcatioDs and the troops have fallen
oack TO the terminus Of the railroad bridge on the
lsiahd. and still larger force stationed at Vir-
glnia Point, on the mainland.
IL seems that Gen Herbert has been notified Of
a contemplated attack, but is not advised as to
'ne point that may be first assailed.
