"A Battle Between Two ChiIian
and Three Spanish Vessels.
The Captain of a bark from the MatOine
i sles states that on the 9th of May he wit
nesse from tbetopof a ayhill on one of the
Islands, battle between two Chilim and
three Spanish vessels, but could not learn
u
storm having arisen. The Valparaiso pa
pers attach no Importance to the news, but
consider it, on the contrary, unreliable
The Government official organ does not
give any credit to the Captains story.
However, when Mr.. McKenna was, ,in, Lima
he expected that threeyessels, which he had
bought, were near home, and as no news
has yet reached Valparaiso of said vessels,
there is reason TO fear that the Captains
story may havesome foundation. There is
the greater reason for fear on this head as
the vessels would necessarily be but poorly
armed and manned, and might easily have
been caught at disadvantage by regular
war vessels.

A "LOyaI'' Howl from Texas.
A letter from Capt. Bingham, from Texas,
says: We in Texas are on the eve of
another war, which will be more desperate
than the one out of which we have just
emerged. The former leaders in rebellion,
save some dozen Union men elected to fill
unimportant county offices, have all been
elected, and they are more hostile and rabid
than they were during the war or before
the State seeded. Unless troops are kept
in the most important towns there will not
be Union man left in Texas in six months
The dislOyal from other States are coming
in more or less every. day, and thousands
are Returning. from Mexico who went off

Murders are an everyday occurrence, the
civil law is defied and trampeled upon, the

State in as strict bondage as before the war,
and Union men dare not speak their senti-
mem openly. A secret socitey called the
