Since tho above was in tpye. wo learn that the

town of Lavaca and sent vauls ashore demanding
the surrender. Mnj. Shea refused.
They then gave notice ihat an hour aud a half
would bu allowed for tho removal of tho women and

Promptly at tho expiration of tlio time they open-
ed lire throwing about nfty shot that day. Tho
next day the llrlng was continued heavily as is de-

Later from Louisiana. Tho Telegraph
has received tho jVranklui Banner of the 1st
with tho following lato news :
A frost so severe as to render our corn un-
fit for seed has visited till the sugar parishes
of the State.
The Banner has tho particulars of the La-
fourche light. It was the old story of mis-
takes misunderstanding and consequently
defeat. AVo lost 17 killed and 100 prison-
ers: the number of wounded is not given.
Five light droit gunboats and two cutters are
working their way into Uefwick's Day. Our troo.s
have fallen back to a point above tho mouth of the
Teche. The Yankee cavalry was at llouma on
Wednesday and at Tigersvllle on Thursday. We
have an ample force to protect the Teche and the
rest of the parish above and we trust it will be done.
From Port Lavaca.
Tho Government Express rider' has furnished tho
San Antonio -'Nows" with the following: '
Thursday evening Lavaca was bombarded by two
1 ederal Steamers. Some damage done to tho houses.
It Is said tliero were some 17U shots tired bv tlio Fed-

tho vessels without doing any material damage and
afterwards our troops retired from tho reach of their
gunboats.
From Kcw Orleans.

San Antonio Now ! 1802.
An Express to Gen. Ueo from La Vaea arrived
hero at a a in on Sunday by which we learn that
thu Federals on being refused permission by thu
authorities to purchase fresh provisions and being
told that their landing should tie opposed by arniod
force had ordered all non-combatants to leave within
tlian lujurlng about twenty houses.
Vho news caused much excitement hero. Tlio
Quartermaster's Department is thronged with team-
sters otllcers and others and the Pluai with wag-
ons some loadvd with provisions stoiv monitions
ifcu others waiting their turn all drstlnat for thr
coast. Two pieced of mounted iirtflleryvoi Iiravy
callbre. left yesterday. It is thought that tho attack
oil La Vaea will alter the destitution of troops now
within the Suite.
A military camp of C000 men is being formed at.
Goliad.
A rumor Is afloat that ten of Capt. Carolan's Com-
pany were captured by the Federals whilst 011 iv
scout ten miles above Fort Clark. It is not believed
however.
Gen. Ilebcrt lias been relieved: Gen. Magruder su-
persedes him. (j.

537" Tho Norther which is still upon us seems to
havo bijen very general throughout Western Texas.
Tlio San Antonio Herald says on Saturday niglit
vessels of water was crusted over with ice threw
times the thickness of window glass. Tho freezing
was repeated on Sunday night. Vegetation looks
somewhat worsted.

235The New Draunfels 'eltnng says last 'Thursday
.1 train with flour arrived here which was purchas-
ed at Waco by a society of private families. The
price of the flour pr cwt. at Waco was $3 ; hauling
the same here .-fG; making in toto-flG per. bundled
pounds.'
This is reasonable compared with the prices asked
here and elsewhere.

E2ET The Confederate Minstrels gave their first
performance in this city on Tuesday evening at.
Jliiaas' Hall to 11 crowded audience. The singing
wns excellent especially tlio beautiful songs of
"The Hose Bud" and ".My .Mother Dear" which
were sangby Mr. Sliinvers with much taste. The
negro burlesques were also received with much ap-
plause and the performances generally were well
got up and seemed to give general satisfaction.
To-night will be their last appearance in Austin and
we recommend all who wish to have a hearty laugh
