reduced to a brigade, all the rest having been
dispatched down the river.
Business il a retail wsy is brisk, and the city
presents q somewhat more lively appearances
than dnring its earlier occupation. The trans
actions are, however. al small, compared will
those Of former years. Cotton arrives only in
small quantities, and to supply family necsssi-
ties, yet the aggregate makes up a somewhat 70

principally new.

The cold last Friday aud Saturday was the
most severe Of the season. It destroyed the

on the whole, a blessing to the people.
Don't believe rumors. Galveston is net evac-

the trip by our batteries in salty, she laid up for
awhile st tao mouth Of the canal, but in the af-
tzrnoon ogain got under way and went Q n down

naturally created . great deal of speculation as

A premature statement appeared IN the Rich
mOnd papers several weeks ago, announcing the
escape from this port Of the Confederate States
steam corvette Florida, Captain Aahitt COM
handing. It was not true. for at that time no
efforts had been made to escape. Capt. Aatntt
fingered here so long after his vessel was ready
for sea as to call upon himself much criticism
and eensure, and sPplicat ms from some guar
ter went on to the Secretary Of the Navy. re-
o~uesting his removal from the command of the
vessel. The Secretary at once issued the order
relieving him from command. Pres't Davis was
then absent from Richmond, and the Secretary
acted on his own ouuse IN the matter but,
happily for Msfit, President Davis arrived IN
Mobile almost simultaneously with the order OF
the Secretary. The facts of the delay were ex-
planned to the President, who At once restored
Mafitt to his vessel
There nav be truth in the matter, and even
if true, there is much reason why g man who

but the blockaders discovered him and signaled,
when he withdrew. Thursday night was very

There was q strong blow and q hailstorm
