The Galveston GUilidn. of the 2Gth ult., says:
Col. Van Dorm, of the Confederate army, is, we
understand to be charged with the control of meas
ures for the defence of Galveston. 1t is understood
that he will place three companies of artillery in
the regular service, and add considerable to the
present stock of cannon and small arms. A full
battery of flying artillery is to be added to the pre-
sent defence Of the island besides increasing the
Notifications.
The Hampstead Courier, of the 22i ut has the
following:
We learn from a private source that two men
were arrested at Chapel HILL on Monday, who
were Abolitionists, and who said they were from
Illinois. They were cent here as secret agents
for the purpose of finding out whether the
strong Union party" of which the Lin
colnites have heard so much as still exist
ing in Texas, was really So They were detected
conversing with negro woman, by gentleman,
who, after they had left questioned her regarding
the conversation, when she told him tina. they were
trying to induce her 10 leave her ana 60 to
the North. They were arrested, butvIgorOusly de-
MED the charge of being AbOtionists and ever
holding any conversation with the negro. Their
trunks were searched however, and 10 what a
sight! They were filled with Helpers Impending
Crisis"
Seeing it useless TO make further denial of their
true character they made clean breast of it. and
acknowledged the facts as above stated. They were
asked if they had met any Union men in their trav-
els through Texas, to which they answered in the
negatve-said that they had been considerably dis
appointed. Their object was to get up q rebeli on
among the slaves. They were escorted to the woods
but we do not know what became of them, though
we more than suspect that the Helper doctrine, in
their case at least, has reached Its crisis"

Louisville and Nashville Railroad

Louisville and Nashville Railroad
We understand that no arrangement had been
effected up to late hour yesterday afternoon for
running through trains on the Louisville and Nash
vile Railroad Our noon dispatch from Louisville
states that trains would be run to Bowling Green,
but in no event would they come further than the
State line. Since that dispatch was received here
we have conversed with the agent of the road here
and he informs US thathe received from Gov. HARRIS
an additional guarantee similar to that Of Gen. Az
DERsoN that in no event viii the trains the road
be interfered with if the Directors shall order the
resumption of regular trains again) which he tele-
graphed to the Directors. The rolling stock now
here is sufficient for purpose, and for the pre-
sent that is all that will be required to be kept here's
We claim larger proportion of the rolling stock
but until the proportion to which we Gre entitled
is definitely settled, the Governor has given ample
assurance that the trains shall have free ngress and
egress. This assurance should be satisfactory to
the Directors if they can be satisfied with what is
just and right.
The agent here seemed to think the assurances
already given by the civil and military authorities
of this State would be satisfactory to the Directors
and that the resumption of regular through trips
would be ordered in day or two. We sincerely
trust this will be the case. In the present condi
ton of the country the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad is thorougAfare of the greatest impor-
lance to both Confederaces and nothing like mar
row, selfish spirit should actuate its managers in
its conduct They have every assurance that they
could ask that their trains will be permitted to
come hence and return unmolested and the bust
ness and trading communities should demand that
the facilities for INSTRUMENTATION shall be re-
stored.
In the meantime. until some arrangement is effect
ed, passengers going in the direction of Louisville
will meet with no deten lion here, they can make
the connection by the Edgefeld and Kentucky and
the Louisville and Clarksyile Branch Roads.
In our notice yesterday committed an error
as to the number of cars to which this end of the
road Is entitled. We are informed that the whole
number of serviceable cars owned by the road is
only about three hundred and fifty, including
"fats' and racks
Since the foregoing was prepared we have pro.
cured copy of letter addressed yesterday to the
Hon JAxEs GUTHRIE President of the Louisville
and Nashville Railroad Company, by Maj. Gen. An
DEEsoN, which we subjOin:
