ev~ A report is in circulation to the eject,
that day or two after the contest between the
boekadiag steamer South Carolina and the Gal
vestonians the South Carolina returned, and
and planting its batteries Immediately opposite
the town demanded its immediate and unoondi-
tiopnl surrender. the fact to be made known by
hosting a white flag on .he beach. That il this
requisition was not complied within a given
time perhaps two hours,) the town would be shell
led. A meeting Of the citizens WAS Immediately
called. and large majority in order 10 save their
property, determined TO surrender tie place,
For.unatciv Col Van Dorm arrived, with a con
siderable force. The flag was nearly completed,
and ready to be hoisted Upon the fact being
made known 10 him. he became very indignant
aud told the citizens that it they hoisied such a
flag, he would himself turn his batteries upon the
place They Of course Ind to forego their pur
p,-e. and Van Dorm sen, defiant response to
the insulting message Of The South Carolina. and
tina, at the expiration Of three days afterwards
no hostile demonstration had been made against
the city.
Such is the story, md very ridiculous story
il H. We have no hesitation in saying that We
believe Il an entire fabrication, and the man who
invented i, ought to be incarcern'ed in the penn
tentiafy. From some cause, reports have been
very ndus,riousy circulated that Galveston con
tains great many unreliable citizens, who ouly
desire an excuse to surrender the place. In oar
opinion this IL alse. II the place Is ever taken,
It will be after one Of the most desperate con
tests ever recorded in history.
