General: I have the honor to report that I met the last column of the United States troops in Texas yesterday, at noon, on the El Paso road, about 13 miles from this city, and that Colonel Reeve, the commanding officer, being satisfied of my greatly superior force, surrendered unconditionally. There were 10 officers and 337 men, including 30 men who were captured some time since in San Antonio by Capt. James Duff, which I have heretofore neglected to report. My command consisted of Colonel McCulloch's cavalry, viz., six companies, Captains Pitts, Tobin, Ashby, Bogges, Fry, and Nelson; a squadron of Colonel Ford's State troops, under Lieutenant-Colonel Baylor's command, viz., Captains Walker and Pyron, a battery of light artillery, Captain Edgar, a section of artillery, Captain Teel; two small detachments of horse under Lieutenants Paul and Dwyer, and an independent detachment of cavalry, Captain Goode. All these troops I placed under the command of Col. H. E. McCulloch. In addit

d in. At this moment the army of Northern Virginia was advancing into Pennsylvania; Bragg's army was facing Rosecrans before Chattanooga, and General Gardner was besieged at Port Hudson. The only relief obtained from the Trans-Mississippi forces was an expedition under Maj.-Gen. J. G. Walker against Young's Point and Milliken's Bend in June, which destroyed all the sources of Federal supplies in that quarter. Harrison captured Richmond and defeated the enemy's cavalry June 6th; but H. E. McCulloch was repulsed from Milliken's Bend on the 7th. Johnston continued to promise some relief, to save the garrison at least, and there was talk of cutting out, supported by an attack by Johnston. It was promised that General Taylor, with 8,000 men, would open communication from the west bank of the river; but nothing came of it. Grant's statement of his condition on June 14th was this: I had now about 71,000 men. More than half were disposed of across the peninsula, between the Yazoo at

om Kentucky and Tennessee can get these farms cheap, and will be welcomed with open arms. Never was there such a chance for bettering fortunes as is now offered to the people of these States. The country is the finest in the world. Thirty bushels of wheat to the acre is no unusual crop, and that all harvested in May. Fine water is abundant, so is timber, &c. Regarding the protection of that country, we are assured that the civilized Indians of the Creek, Cherokee and Choctaw nations have assured the Confederate Government that if one or two regiments of their men can be mustered into the service of the Government, they stand ready to furnish fifteen to twenty thousand volunteers to meet any inroad into their own territory or that of Texas, from the Northern armies. Northern Texas can furnish as many more. Col. H. E. McCulloch, with a thousand mounted riflemen, is now there, having been dispatched by Van Dorn, and he will take charge of future military operations there.

The army in Texas. --We learn from the San Antonic Ledger, of the 1st inst., that Col. H. E. McCulloch's regiment had gone to garrison posts on the Red river; that Lieut. Col. Baylor's battalion was to leave that day to garrison other posts on the border; that Major Waller, with two companies of artillery, McCailister's company of infantry, and Capt. Buquor's company, were marching on similar service. Col. Young, of the Texas State troop had reported officially to the Governor respection the abandonment by the U. S. troops of Arbuckle and Washita, and of their retreat into Kansas, Fort Cobb, it was supposed, had also been abandoned. Governor Clark, the thoughtful and resolute Executive of the State, was in San Antonic, and the citizens of the place were giving him a very warm welcome. Lieutenant Whipple, of the third U. S. Infantry, was in bad odor. He had given his parole, before being 1st loose, to the gallant Col. Van Dorn, and violated it instantly. A letter

lations of importance concerning the Fortress. The Indiana volunteers engaged in the Western Virginia raid and the Rich Mountain affair, have returned home, and but precious few will ever go back. Many of them have been heard to declare that their casualties were ten times as much as represented in the dispatches, and that the Georgia boys were as brave as lions, and nothing but overwhelming numbers won the day. Mrs. Meriwether, of Guadalupe county, Texas, has three sons in Col. H. E. McCulloch's regiment, whom she equipped at her own expense. She says a further son is ready to take the place of either of the three, should any accident befall them. She also informs Mr. Ireland, the Confederate Loan agent of Seguin, that she will give every pound of cotton she raises to the Confederate cause, and will attend to the gathering herself to see that all is saved.
