The bombardment of Port Layaca. Charleston, Nov. 23. --The Houston News, of the 5th inst., contains details of the bombardment of Port Lavaca, Texas, by the enemy's fleet, on November 1st. The Abolitionists demanded the surrender of the town. On the refusal to comply with this demand, they gave one hour and a half for the removal of the non comb ants, and then commenced shelling. Our battery replied, but the range of the guns was insufficient. After some hours' ineffectual bombardment the fleet withdrew, having battered the town considerably, but "no body hurt." Our flag was still flying at last accounts.

Thinking a sketch of the arrest of citizens and the battle of November 1st, at this place would somewhat interest you, I will give you a short history of the past two weeks. On Saturday morning, the 1st of November, General Pleasanton arrived here and immediately arrested every citizen of the place and all neighbors who happened to be here, and, arranging them on Dennis's wood pile, procethe 1st of November, General Pleasanton arrived here and immediately arrested every citizen of the place and all neighbors who happened to be here, and, arranging them on Dennis's wood pile, proceeded to offer to them, through a nice little Irish Lieutenant, the oath of allegiance to Old Abe & Co. But, unfortunately for the safety of the place, not a single man took the oath. Therefore, all were confined in the storehouse. At about 12 o'clock Stuart passed over a compliment, in the shape of a shell, which soon formed about 10,000 Yankees and fourteen pieces of cannon in line of battle. They fought with great desperation until about 5 o'clock, when they considered it prudent to fall ba

cents gross for fair to extra cattle, and that we retail the same from our stalls from 50 to 75 cents net by retail, which will be a reduction of about one-half from present rates. "4. From the above propositions it will be seen that the farmer and butcher have reduced the present prices one half, while their expenses in all articles necessary and indispensable are still at inflated prices, with an upward tendency; and if everything useful for the support of the needy were likewise reduced 50 per cent, the evil which is sought to be remedied would in a great measure be averted.

he purchase of articles of subsistence; and whilst I shall use every effort to keep down the price of articles with which I have to deal to the standard established by the Commissioners of this State, I have no sort of control over, or business with, other articles of necessity — less at all events than your selves, and your influence to effect your end would surely be greater than mine. You simply ask me to do that which I cannot, and when you would require me to enforce it by the 1st of November, "otherwise your obligations would be null and void," you close the door effectually whereby the important object I had in view could be obtained. If, therefore, the propositions you have submitted to me embody your ultimatum, the whole thing falls to the ground. I would not if I would comply with them, for you exact of me the performance of an impossibility. I have nevertheless to thank you for the courtesy with which you have met me, and have only to regret that we could not
