 We publish to-day the speech of Mir Gar land, concerning the makingof an appropria- lion for continuing and completing the oPe- rations on the raft of Red river. There IS one point in which he is mistaken. Red river is not nap;gaHle te within within short dis tance of Santa Fe. Four hundred miles from that city, 1t IS sand bed a mile wide, and during great part of the year can be crossed without difficulty, on foot. Nor is New Mexico afieh coiinttyy.- | $ tic Si- beria of the Republic. There is little good land, and no valuable productions or rich mines. All this, however, detracts nothing from the merits of the speech.
 We observe that sundry sagacious edit ors are copying us grave matter of fact, the letter from Timoria, Arkansas Territory,  which we transferred from the Mobile Ad- yertiser to our columns, not long since.- They seem to know as much concerning this Territory as they do concerning the land of the Hottentots. The Cosconli and Red Plume Indians, and the El,eiae rivqr. will shortly be matters of established re- cord. There is such thing as gallibility.
 Seventy nine thousand dollars have been recently expended in ornamonting the Pre- sident's House-and six thousand more are called for. Several thousands were ex- pended in chandelier ornaments for single room. This is worse than the billiard ta- ble.
