Movements in Texas.

Galveston, April 26.
--There is as yet no news of the expedition, by sea or land, which has gone to capture the United States troops encamped in the vicinity of Indianola. The latter are reported to be in possession of two schooners, seized with a design to leave in them.

Fifteen hundred volunteers were enrolled at Galveston in four days in reply to General Sherman's call. One thousand in the country tender him their services.

Active military preparations are going on throughout the State.

Maj. McCulloch's regiments for the frontier were mustered into service at San Antonio on the 25th.

Forts Bliss and Quitman have been surrendered to the State Commissioners, and will soon be garrisoned by the Texas troops.

Capt. Moore, C. S. A., is actively superintending the erection of batteries here.

Capt. Ingraham, C. S. A., has arrived from Montgomery.

Gov. Clark has confirmed Gen. Sherman's appointment by the Convention as military commandant here.

The Texas Commissioners to the Indian Nation report very satisfactory progress. The Southern cause is theirs, and they will secede from what remains of the Federal Union.
