We are indebted to Maj A. S. Rose, bearer of Government dispatches from Shreveport, for late files of Texas papers. We learn from Maj R that among the captures in the Trans-Mississippi Department, from Banks, were 1,200 iron-axle wagons and a large quantity of farming implements, which the Yankees had brought with them to reap and thrash the crops as they went along. Kirby Smith reaped and thrashed the Yankees, and the implements were of no further use. --Maj R leaves for the Trans-Mississippi on the 13th inst.
