the times in Galveston to be rapidly improv-
ing' Everything presents the appearance of
life and activity. Tbe oity is filled with sol-
diers; troops are arriving and departing;
tbe harbor is active with shipping, commer-
cial and marine; business houses of every
description are being opened; mechanics are
at work repairing the damages of a four
years war; cotton Is going in by steamer
and rafl; flake's Bulletin has become a dai-
ly of respectable rise; the News Is moving
down from Houston; the Civilian is to be
resurrected soon, and everybody looks cheer-
fol. We are glad to hear of the return of
prosperity to the island city, and hope that
it may ntfrer again be tbe sceno of adversity
and desolation.
