Texas intelligence.

--The latest intelligence is to the 4th inst. At that date there were seven Yankee vessels-of-war off the bar at Galveston, but no demonstration had been made of any serious character. Food was reported abundant within the State. Beef, mutton, corn, wheat, etc., were all plentiful and cheap; but the Texans are not on that account lying indifferent to the war. The Houston Telegraph says that it has organized the equivalent of fifty-eight regiments, or ‘"fully 45,000 men."’ The town of Bastrop, it is said, was destroyed by fire on the 5th inst.
