The Galveston (Texas) News, of the 24th ult., contains the following. Capt. Clairborne is a citizen of Nashville, and we believe Capt. Wilcox was originally appointed from this State:

Capt. Wilcox, late of the Seventh infantry, U. S. A., and Capt. Claiborne, of the Mounted Rifles, from New Mexico, arrived here last evening via San Antonio. Capt. Wilcox is a brother of Hon. J. A. Wilcox of San Antonio. He was assistant Adjutant General of New Mexico until he received promotion to his company. He goes-to Richmond. Capt. Claiborne goes to Tennessee, his native State, to offer his sword to Gov. Harris.
