Special to the Telegraph.
Galvestox, Sep'. 28, 1861. 1
11 o'clock, A. M. /
A boat was stolen from one of the docks
between three and four o'cloci this morp-
ing. At baylight the abstractioa of tbe
boat was discovered and the fact telegraph-
ed to the Fort at the Point, aod also fig
nailed to Pelican Spit. Several small
boats started at once in pursuit; among
the rest, the launch from the cutter Dodge.
Tbe stolen boat was first discovered north
of Pelican Spit, working Iter way through
Bolivar channel, endeavoring to get out to
the blockading fleet.
Tbe steamer Bayou City got up steam
and proceeded round the point also in pur-
suit. The blockading frigate, Sabine,
fired iwo shots at the Bayou City. The
Cutter's launch overhauled the boat about
half a mile inside the bar and at once re-
turned.
They were taken in tow by the Bayou
City and brought into the city. A num-
ber of shots were fired from Fort Point
aod Pelican Spit at the boat
before she was overhauled. Two men
were found on board the stolen boat.
Tbeir names are Smith and Miller, the
former a balloon man and the latter latelr
an employee in Close's foundry' "Smith
bad a pocket full of nejupS^rs to supply
the enemy wiih iofermation. Tbeir ex-
cuse wasjjiairtney were going to Bolivar
Poim

strong guard.
There was a good deal of excitement in
Galveston when the prisoners were brought
ta .shore, and a large crowd assembled
about them, anone whom the cry "hang
them " w. s frequently heard. They are
now in possession of the military. What
will be done witk them has not transpired.

The Enquirer of this morning,in report'
io% intel igence from Western Virginia,
says that Geo. Lee has cleaned out au old
amd long unused road leading to a strong
position between Bosencraoz's and Bey-
aide's force. Beyootds's force cannot re-
treat, for Jackson grtai ds the ford of Chca
river, and cannot advance,for Lee's forces
are compelled to arrest them. Starvation
or surrender are the alternatives of Rey-
nolds's forces. It is highly probable that
. an .engagement is over ere this, but it will
' seme dayste know the result.

Two gentlemen, Messrs. Ward and Rob-
inson, late of Capt. Littleton's company of
Bangers, just from tbe Bio Grande, report
that they met, on tbe 16ih, on the Pintos, an
Express from San, Antonio to Col. Ford,
at Fort Brown, who told tbem tbat Col.
Baylor had attacked Fort Craig with 700
men, the Federal foroe being eleven com-
panies, aod was repulsed, with a loss of
3t)0, and tbat the San Antonio papers were
forbidden to publish it. The same messen
ger told them that Kit Carson was raising
5000 men in New Mexico to invade Texas,
This is the way the report has come to
as by truthful men, who believe the report
We doubt its correctness, however, for the
following reasons: The Pintos ia 130
miles from San Antonio. The Express
must have left there on the 13tb. San
Antonio Is 630 miles from Fort Craig. At
60 miles a day, it would take 13 days for
the news to reach 8aa Antonio. On tbe
2d inst., Capt. Stafford, at t^iaciiy, who
has a company in Baylor's cpft-mand,
wrote from Fort Blias that bis company
had just returned from Fort Fillmore, hav
ing gone up there to join an expeditioi
against Fort Craig, but that Col. Baylor
bad learned tbat there *ere 1000 men In
Fort Craig and had given ,9Ul going
against it till he could £et reinforcjMdS

Special to the New York Herald.
The story mentio-ed in to day's Herald about
Secretary Welles having written t« his brother in
law. Geo.D Morgan, for ten thousand horses to
supply the twenty new gmboats of five hundred
horse nower each, ordered by Government, is. we
are told, pronounced by Acting Secretary Fok,
inaccurate as repoited. It doe< not appear that
there was any contract actually entered into for
the horses ; while the anxiety as to where so many
rou'd be got on Jhort notice to say nothing or ihe
difficulty in getting hay a d oa-s to feed them,
was very natural. There is now a spectacle wit-
nessed every time you cross one of the creeks be-
tween Baltimore and Philadelphia, of a ferry boat
lying idle for the want of only one or two horses
to operate the paddle wheels.
The movement in financial circles since the
close of our last review has been m:irkel by a
steady diminution in the demnnd for money.and
a erester willingness to operate in satisfactory
securities on the part of all clas-es of capitalists.
As previously stated, all of the banks of th:s city,
except the Southern, have suspended specie pay-
ments, and the latter still contin -es to redeem its
bills and pay its depositors in • oin. At the same
time, the whole of them freely receive Treasury
notes at par in collection and on deposit, and
these issues of the Confederate Government are
now'circulated with as mucD favor as the notes of
the most solvent banks have ever been, even when
holders prized them more highly than their equiva
lent in gold. To obviate the difficulties arising
from the absence of small change, the Citizens'
Bank has had a number of its five lollar bills cut
in two. and intends to recognize each half at its
full proportional value, which is, as faras it could
go, being debarred from issuing bills of a lower
denomination than five do'lars ; while the Bank of
Louisianannd the Louisiana State Bank have each
ordered to be struck oflf on plates already in thetr
possession .$250,1 Oil, in one, two and three dollar
bills, which wou'd amply supply all the public re-
quirements. Thi*. however, was insufficient, it ap-
pears, to satisfy the penchant of some individuals
and officinls for flooding the city with shinplasters,
nnd alreidy we find that our municipal authorities
have, with unbecoming haste, concurred in a re-
solution to issue haif a million of dollars, on hehialf
of the city, in denominations of SI, $2 and $3,
and for the decim%l fractions of a dollar, which
heretofore have had their representative value
in siver coin. This movement, it is contended,
is an unjustifiable stretch of power on the part ot
the membeos who voted in favor of the resolution,
and a large number of our most respected citizens
have determined to contest the action of the City
Council-— Delta, 22.
Evacuatino or Ship Island.—Night before last
at 8 o'clock, tbe evacuation of Ship Island by the
Louisiana troops was completed, the fort disman-
tled and the guns, ammunition, etc., rem vei.
This work was performed under the supervision
ot Col. Duncan and Lieut Col. AMen. assisted by
Capt. Bond.iieut. Bridges and Lieut. Semmes, of
the regular service. Thirty-lwo hours were con-
sumed in destroying the fort, soldier's quarters,
etc., and in removing the troops and armament,
during which time two war steamers, two frigates
and several smaller vessels, belonging to Old
Abe Lincoln's fleet, were in sight, but at a respect-
ful distance, they not dazing to interfere with the
debarkation or our men.
Had not the officers of the Lincoln fleet been
terribly frightened by the appearance of our
transports in the vicinity of the Island—evidently
thinking that they brought reinforcements to the
gnrriaon—they might have caused our men much
annoyance, if not great loss of life The • vacua-
tion of Ship Island was military necessity, and
the officers who had charge of the work deserve
much credit for the admirable and succes-ful man-
ner in which it was executed. Ye-terday the
blockadera. we understand,approached to Isrfnnd
nnd threw severil s«hell into the deserted fort, and
finding no enemy on the Islai d. valiant! v landed
and hoisted the Uuit d States flag.—JV". O.Bulle-

An English View.—The London Morn-
ing Post (the Palmerston organ), of Aug.
13. closes an article on the Anierican war
in tbe following language :
Actual warfare in the tTuiied States has
now been waged for several months
Every advantage, with the exception of
Geo. McClellan's success in Western Vir-
ginia, has been on the side of the South.
What has the North gaioed in exchange ?
A disgraceful defeat, an ami.nnl of taxation
which is unparalleled in the his'ory of
European nan'ons ti.e utter subversion of
constitutional liberty, and, by means of
prohibitory- tariffs, the alienation of the
sympathies of their best customers aod
iriends. It app> ars, further, that slavery
is not the cause of this lamentable contest.
It arises Irom commercial jealousy ; and
thus we see that in America the great
battle of free tra&e as opposed to protec
tion is fought out, not by hustings and
platform speeches, but by the ultima ratio
regum.
Important from uatteeas.—The Wash-
ingtoo (N. C.) I^paich says:
A gentleman-lo town, who left Hatteras
on Thursday iast, gave us these faots.
CoL Hawkins is in command—has 1,300
men and but fe^w boats—cannot make an
advance now—says he will be reinforced
in two weeks aod then move. He gave the
inhabitants of the Island the privilege of
leaving or of taking the oath of allegiance
to sUDport Lincoln's Government. All but
6 or 6 have taken the oath! Old Mr. Jen-
nett, a former representative, aod several
of the prominent men are among them! A
company that had beeu organized and of-
fered its services to the former Governor,
and which Warren Winslow rejecled. has
been accepted by Col. Hawkins and is now
marshaled against us. Many of them
thought that our Government cared notic-
ing lor them and would not protect tbem )
Col. H. promises protection and to carry
them away on his vessel, if compelled to
retreat. So much for the miserable man-
agement of the Military BoarJ.
Tbe scouting, marauding parties have
broken up the furniture, bu^nt the cloth-
ing, killed the poultry and fat pigs of those
who would not take the oath.
Portsmouth nor Oregon was not taken
possession of by tbe enemy up to that
time. This information is perfectly re-
liable.
Tbe Petersburg Express of the 16th has
the following account of the Naval engage-
ment of which the telegraph told us
the other day:
We learn rrom a gentleman who was at
Pig Point Friday afternoon, that an en-
gagement took place wbile he was at the
Point between tbe Confederate steamer
Patrick Henry and a couple of Yankee
vessels—ihe steamer Daylight and the
sloop-of-war Savannah, both being regular
Lincoln crafts. Tbe Daylight was cruising
about ratber higher up James River than
it was deemed prudent for ber to come by
our authorities, when the P. Henry gave
chase and ran ber under the guns of New-
port News. Here- she returned the P.
Henry's fire, and was speedily joined by
the Savannah. A rapid interchange of
shots was now maintained for about forty
minutes, when both the Federal vessels
retired, leaving the Patrick Henry alone
In her glory. The damage done to the
Federal vessels, if any, was not ascer-
tained, but it was thought that the Savan-
nah was serious'y injured, as she was
shortly afterwards towed down to Fortress
Monroe. Bat for the guns at Newport
News, the Patrick Henry would have ap
proached nearer, and probably cant ureti
both of ber opponents, as she is not only
very rapid, but very formidable as a war
ve-sel.

sfctl u.sof (he "Thr« e Fork Country," Oeautiful uu-
du .1 tin*:, rich pr««lrje, doited « vt-r with beauti ul
farms and neat rural c« ' tayes. here and thfere a treain
w th its snowy roc* banks f i geu with timber mean-
de-ing its cour.-e thuugh loveiy valleys, wher--an
seems peaceful, quiet and retired ; here a tlock of
f h-epquietiy ruminating in the shade of a pleasant
grove, there a heru of sltek tine hoises, anj j-c ittered
over the extpn edpr >iii« s, c ittle utmost intiun era-
ble; traveling up one ot t'-.ose streams you pass u
neat eountry church—c.o<- by n few graves, and bv
the time >011 can give a f- eunuch's to the departed

In,bearing the fair daughters, mat: 01 saraht'leonesof
our land, occasionally adashing prairieglrl upon a noble
charger and by her side a ^a'lant cavalier of the 4th,
then came rolling iu the country farm wagons with
thesturd.v farmer ana "all the family," with many
Utile couifort nick nacks for the boys bound for the
war. f-ach and tvery one had some relative or frl-i d
there in aims, ready and willing to be sacrificed upon
their country's altar. By noon the gTounds of the
encampment were thronged with the citizens of the
a ijacent country. Precbely at one o'clock p. m , the
shrtil bl-ist ot th^bugte brought filing forth from thftr
resuective encampments the various companies to
the dress parade grounds where they formed a hollow
square and the officers advanced to the centre. Capt.
Maddox ot Freestone county, an- ounced the older of
procedure fcr the election ot officers. Candidates for
Colonel were called tor, and such a shout as wt-nt up
from the thousand throats of that encampment has
n**ver oten heard in all our land—Parsons, Parsons
Parsons, w^s the univ rsal cry—the very woods sent,
back the echo, while the sound traveled up the
ravines and was fin illy lo-?t far out upon the ext< nsive
prairie.- Col. Parsons came forward to the centre
on a splendid haruer that seemed almost to spurn
the ground uoon which he trod. The Colonel seemed
to be in the 1 rime of manhood, I wonl I suppose be-
tween thirty and thirty-five years ot age, rather
light fo m. medium height, of the sanguine nervous
temperament, grey eyes, a high expansive forehead, a
splf-reliant detei mined air, di^n'tied, yet >cciat, plainly
dre-setf, but neat, manly wiihout affectation, com-
manding without Rip -rciltousnes5, and ii^on the
whole a man tbat will honor his Regiment, his State
and c untry. For a fe -v moments t here was a pause,
no oth-rone came forward—no oth^r name called.
The Colonel. «hen, seated up >r his charter, hat in
h« nd. addressed 'he Regiment, in an eloquent appro-
priate and patii- tlc manntr,after which it was pro-
1 o-ed to elect him Colonel of the 4th Reaiment of
Texas Cavalry, by acclamation, which was responded
to by a universal shout thjt made the '* welkin ring,"
and not a dissenting voice. If that was not the
proudest moment o hi* lire it should hav« b*-en. To
his indomitable energy and perseverance the organiza-
tion ol the Repimeut i* attributab e. having had t
surmount the moat violent opposition frjm various
sonr« e*.
For men, horses, and arms his Regiment cannot be
Mirnaise-l by any in the Sou hern C uif -deracy, and
let them meet the enemy when and where they may
you w ill hear oi chivalrous deeds and daring acts.
For 1 ieut. Co onel, Capt. Slu ins, a heio of the
Mexican war, was as universally popular—elected by
acciamatioi —he is tall, has keen black eyes.h.dr dark,
strea ed with silvpr locks, a pi air, affable gentleman,
a soluierai d an officer that wi 1 do ce it to his State
and country; his address to the Regiment wa-short
and to the point, lie is. I .-un;>« se, tifiy year- of age.

To die litizeus of Harris touniy,
At the request of 'he Board of Aldermen, the un-
d'-rsUned have been appointed by the Ma or of
ihe Citv ot Houston, a Committee to solicit contribu-
te sof Warm Clothing, *c.,for the troops of the Con-
fe ierate States, and particularly for tne sons and
bro.hers of Harri>couuty, who huvegone into the ser-
vice of their cou« try.
Those who a e enjojlne the comfort and safety of
thfir homes, must uot forget that we owe these things
to tne brave soldiers in the field.
Harris County has responded nobly to the call for
men: Itremal is to be seen whether all the patriots
of the County have gone Into the Armv.
uui b-ave defenders will foun be exposed to the ri-
gors of a cold climate, and to other hardships to which
they are entirely unaccustomed. The Government i-
young, and has nat been able to provide the soldiers
wl h clothing. It remains tor the people to supply
the want by voluntarv subscription.
What is wanted is Woolen Socks, Blankets, new and
old, Under-Shlrts and Drawers.uvercoats, Yarn,Flan-
nel. Donations in money will also be received
Depot at Wilson's Buildlmr, for Ladies' Committee.
At the respective places of butlnesb of the Gentle-
men's Committee.
a list of all articles famished will be kept, with ths
names of those by whom they are furnished. The ar-
ticles will be handed to the ag^nt of the State, and
when appraised it is expected thq value of them will
b* returned in Treasury Notes of the Confederate
State*.
Confidently believing that Harris county will cheer-
fully clothe her own soldiers, we submit this appeal to
our fellow-citizens.
