The Late Galveston Affair.
Orr GALVESTON, Texas, Jan. l:

| OFF GALVESTON, Texas, Jan. ID.
Of the first Galveston affair, you
know all. The rebels. occupy this
city with strong force Of s, 900 or
1000 men. The city is we'll fortified
with batteries all round.
On Sunday evening strange sail
appeared off the harbor. The gun.
boat Hatteras went in chase about I
to'cfock. A heavy fire was soon after
heard, and the sloop-of.war Brooklyn
and the gunboat Sciota started in pur-
suit. The firing ceased before these
vessels reached the spot-some twen-
ty miles from Galveston. AT daylight
next day Capt. Lowry Of the Sciota,
picked up boat containing an Off
Ger and, five men, belonging to the
Hatteras. They reported that atgseys
en- O'Clock on Sunday evening, the
Hatteras ranged up alongside of~-s
steamer which looked like the Ala
bama. She was hailed by Capt. Blake
and replied that II am her Britannia
Majesty's steamer Spitfirc.' Capt,
Blake said, "Heave toAI will send, "a
boat on board of YOU" A boat was
lowered, the one spoken Of as having
been picked up Just as the boat
showed off. the strange steamer OPEN
ed furious fire OH the Hatteras. Both
vessels then engaged in furious cons
bat, running ahead of the boat but
soon after say about twenty minutes
the officer in the boat saw the Hat
tcras stop, evidently crippled. Then
there was loud cheering on board the
rebel steamer. -a, a#f
: The Brooklyn and Sciota cruised ali
night, and next morning found the
wreck or the Hatteras SINK in nine
fathoms of water Some of her boats
were picked mp. which contained arms
and bloody clothes. But the victor
had disappeared. The Hatteras was
.apurchascd iron vessel, sister to the
steamer st. Mary. She was unfit for
a man-of.war, having no power of en-,
durance. Her battery consisted Of
three small rif1ed guns. and four short
thirty-two-pounders. The rebel had
heavy guns, sixty-eight-pounders by
the sound. Opinions differ as to who
she was. Some think she was from
Mobile, and not the 900.
The rams and Notifications at Gal
weston are formidable. agt
The Hatteras was a side-wheel
steamer and mounted four guns.
The rebel steamer thus engaged
and supposed to have been the Ala
bama, may possibly have, been the
Oveto from Mobile. She was at that
port at the last accounts, ready for
sea, under the command, we believe,
of Capt. John Newland Maffit, former,
~ of the United States Navy. She
was waiting an opportunity to run
the blockade and probably succeeded.

In the carly part of l847 he was made

enemy began TO fall back rapidly over
the opposite hill on the Pocahontas
road. First, his train of wagons moved
over, and then followed long lines OF
cavalry moving with haste. We were
ordered to quicken our fire, more per-,
fectly to deceive them regarding our
strength. This fire was retained by

when it ceased on their side, aud the
Fast of them left the place, leaving
our little band masters Of the field.
Not deeming it safe, however, to re-
main, as any moment might reveal to

literally eat us up, Lieut.. Col. Dunlap
ordered us to quietly gather what few

A BOND OF UNION.

II Robert j. Walker, in his recent
mastery essay upon the National
Finances, urges that the entire bank
note circulation of the country should
BE based upon the bonds of the Uni
ted States. In one portion of his ar
gument he contends that, although
slavery was the exciting cause of the
rebellion, yet "in the absence of pow
erful aid from the Southern banks, the
revolted States could never have
maintained 30 prolonged a contest"
He argues that had these banks
been organized as at present pro-
posed, they would have sustained the
Government @Ht tsa' 81
This is one of the strongest argu-
nents in favor of Mr.. Chase's curren-
ey scheme. Let the thousands Of
banks throughout our vast territory
acquire an interest in the securities
Of the Union, and every one of them
would be powerful advocate for the
Union, under all emergencies. The
interests of every community would
become more or less involved in the
perpetuation of the Union, for although
the holders of bank stock might be
but small proportion of the people,
every one would possess more or less
of the currency. t. a.7at
Suppose that from Maine to Califor-
MIA the bonds of the Government for
med the only basis of circulation,
would not every mans immediate Pc
cuniary interest make him wakeful to
the slightest danger to the perpetuity
and integrity of the government
Macaulcy regarded the English Debt
- the most conservative of English
institutions. and argued that while
the fact that it was owned at home
prevented any depletion of resources,
It was the strongest guaranty for the
permanence of the government and
the constitution. i i
u has seemed TO some of the most
thoughtful Americans, that we need
some such Internationally distribu-
ted among our people---to overcome
our centrifugal tedencies. The pres
ent reckless and criminal talk about
separating the East and West, which
is indulged in by certain class of
our people, would seem to confirm the
theory. and prove that in all sections
we need to be put under bonds to
keep the peace"
Better far that VIC should carry
debt as large as that of Great Britain
than that we should forever lose any
portion of the Union, and remain ex-
posed to the chances of repeated dis
indignation, as often as rabid parti-
xans choose to in6ame the passions Of
one section against the other.--Ml-
