It was a miracle that no blood was spilled under such a shower of shot and shell, some of which were picked up afterwards, and had not exploded, weighing over one hundred pounds. A correspondent of the Houston (Texas) Telegraph writing under date of November 10th, says that it had been ascertained that the Yankees had sent to Galveston for a mortar fleet, for the purpose of shelling the place a second time. The most active preparations were being made by our troops at Lavaca to give them a warm reception. Lavaca is the second port on the Texas coast, and is the shipping point for Victoria, Gonzales, Sequin. San Antonio, and the principal districts of Southwestern Texas. It is a good sized village, numbering about three or four thousand inhabitants. It is situated on the Matagorda Bay, on a low, marshy plain, and presents every appearance of being an exceedingly dirty, disagreeable, and unhealthy place.
