The U. S. Flag at Texas.

--We learn from the oldest sea captain in this city, that last Sunday there was not a single vessel in this port that bore the United States flag at its mast-head, as has always been the custom. During a residence here of nearly twenty-five years, he has never before known a Sunday pass without witnessing this homer paid to our national flag. With this exception, it is believed there has not been a Sunday since annexation when the Stars and Stripes were not seen to wave from the shipping in our harbor.-- Galveston (Texas) News, 15th.
