NEw YoRk, June lO@The Tribune's cor
! respondent with the feet of Galveston, on
the oath of May says Galveston was evacu-
ated by the rebels on that day. L appears
| that a few days previously, a number Of
paroled rebel officers we're brought from
New Orleans and landed. Among them
WIS Gen. Cox, well known in Texas, and 1t
was supposed they would influence the sur
render and this proved to be the case, as
on the 24th the announcement was made
that Galveston was completely evacuated.
It was found that every soldier had taken
his musket and marched home
The famous blockade rune Embigh was
run ashore and destroyed.
The Herald's Texas correspondent says
forts Manahahett and Griffin, strong works
defending Sabine Pass, were occupied by
1t. commander Pennington of the gunbOat
Owaseo, without opposition on the 10th ult.
The rebel troops had evacuated before the
arrival of the Federal forces. 1t was said
they left in mutiny, and thataait was the
prevalent condition of the rebel forces gem
orally in Texas, prior and at the time.
The citizens met commander Pennington
and expressed themselves willing to sur-
render everything. They are anxious to
take the oath of allegiance and delighted
at the restoration of the National Govern
ment, and this seemed to be the feeling in
Texas generally.
,NKw YoRK, June 10.-Advices from Mas
sau state that the case of the British steam
er Mary, better known as the Alexandra,
was decided in Nassau by the Admiralty
Court on the 2Sd of Nay. The Mary was
seized on suspicion Of being intended for a
rebel cruiser. Guns, Of naval construction,
were packed in cases as dry goods. Shells,
similarly packed, we're found on board to-
gether with commissions in blank and 9TH
or suspicious documents, and It was testi-
fed that her fittings were more appropriate
for war than merchant vessels. It was de-
cided that the vessel was intended for a
rebel blockade runner. Judge Doyle ruled
that the case had not been mads out and
discharged the Mary with caution.
A Washington special to the Times says (:
We can say authoritatively that tho Gov
eminent has positively determined that
Davis shall be tried by a civil tribunal.
This question wa5 decided in a Cabinet
meeting weeks past. When the trial will
take place is not decided.
The State Department generally devote
themselves to settling soldiers accounts,
thus redeeming u men from the risk of
being swindled by u~nprinciPled scspe~gra-
ces.
