FROM TEXAS.
The Houston Citizvn says: Cotntnodore
Moore and Captain Lothrop have been dis-
missed from the service; the former for dis-
obedience ol repeated orders, in the cases
enumerated in the President's proclamation;
and Captain Lothrop for refusing to take the
command when the Commodore was suspen-
ded and ordered to report himself in arrest
to the Department of War and Marine. All
the remaining officers, with one or two ex-
ceptions, have resigned, and the vessels are
now in the hands of the Navy Conttnission-
ers. The greater part of the crew ofthe
brig Wh.-irton still remain on board, and
aboutone-third of the sliip’s crew. Com-
inodore Moore, we learn, will appeal to
Congress for an investigation of his conduct.
The disbanding of the Navy, as above sta-
ted, produced muchexcitemcnt in Galveston,
and it is said that Houston was burnt in effi-

and dignity characterized the officers’ retir-
ing. The brig Sam Houston, which left
Galveston on the 7th inst. for this city, has
on boa rd a number of the officers and then
late ofthe Texan Navy. A public dinner
was given to Commodore Moore by citizens
of Gal-reston on the 28th ult, as a mark of
approbation of his conduct and of censure
upon the President.
Another item of evidence in the dreadful

one of the murdered family, who was a bach-
elor, and whose property in the usual course
ofdesent, would have been inherited by the
