At the first firing from the Clifton a shell
struck iUVtl bnrstcd iu the stone wall cast of
Kuhn's wharf. After that they fired at ran-
dom elevating their guns so that the balls
or canisters passed over the house near the
Strand and fell ill tho city without ward to
directions or locality. The propeller Owasso
lying at foot of Tremont street fired three
or foua shpts in the same in inner. Several
houses had ball3 to pass entirely thron-'h

special Correspondence of Texas Almanac Extra.
San Aniovio Doc. li ISG-J.
At our breakfast tabl" ystorduv morning we on-
Joyeil tho rare treat of reading the latest news from tlio
hast which we found in lhe columns tf ulu "Tomis
Almanac Kvtia" of the 4th Inst. bi-ing four hours
in advance of the eiirletl arrival of the regular mail
from Houston.
When contrasted with the lagging stage conch 'front
Houston which reaches here at .my moment from
II a. 111. to i") p. m. this energetic overthrow of old
fogyistn is deserving of the gieaU praise and I
hope Us pecuniary reward will be in piuportlou to
the praise elicited from the public 011 the receipt of
tho "Extra" yesterday. Tho military Department
Is the greatest beneficiary of this early anival of in-
telligence lrom abroad and should extend liberal aid
in assisting to defray the large expense which the
enterprl.ing proprietor must necessarily incur iu
keeping up his Kvprcss from Houston to Urenhniii.
it is a stop in the right direction and m.iy fortu-
nately open the eves of stage proprietors io the duty
they owe the public mid the Postal Department to
the Interest j of the Government and tiio demands of
the times.
It is rumored that a largo party of iiQxIoans aro
now within our State having crossed from '.Mexico
on a stealing expedition. Two Companies have boon
sent from Ringgold 1 1 guard tho several crossing of
the Rio Grande with the objeut of intercepting thoin
as they icturii. Capt. Kampin'inu's Company Is tho
only one now in garrison at Ringgohu
It is said that Gen. lioo Is determined to send a
force Into Mexico after the ''Cortiius" band unless
the Mexican authorities p'ut.a stop to their erratic
movements.
Our city is for tho tiino being without a General
