   All persons who intend leaving Galveston must do so by tomorrow's train {Galveston, Houston & Henderson RR}, as no trains except with supplies will run after that. Steamboats must likewise be prohibited from bringing way passengers. In other words Galveston is placed in strict quarantine, as the nature of the case admits of, & you are directed to see that measures to that and are taken, and strictly enforced. Every assistance will be given you possible under the circumstances.
