TROTTlNG HORSES. We have thought
that the speed of steam vessels and rail road
cars as well as the preponderancc of stages on
our great ,horoughfares had tended to draw
attention from the far more important as moe
common, means of conveyance for the masses
oil our people, the horse. However great may
b. our means Of travel by steam or wind, they
cannot overcome the necessity of the use of
the horse in many situations, and il is, there
fore, very desirable that the race should not
BE- suffered to deteriorate, but be keptup in
speed and bottom. To do this we do not
know that the excitement of the background
is necessary, more especially as fast runners
arc the least useful OF any class ofhorses, while
those best adapted TO the harness or the sad
die are those that will trot longest, fastest and
arc the least likely to break.
To produce these qualities there is some
thing in the blood, doubtless; but if we can
place confidence in the opinions and expert
ments OF those who have been familiar with
the best horses of the country, there is far
more IN The feeding aud training. The horse

FROM sANTE FEE AND cUIuuAur1.

A'o.'' AphAN IT II AN ~ y.
The steamer Amaranth arrived last evening
from Independence with Edw. J. GLASGOW
Mr. Roussi, and several other Santa Fe and
Chihuahua traders; they arrived at Indepen-
uehce ON the 9TH inst, in the remarkably short
tlme oil 70 days from Santa Fe and l6 from
Chihuahua; their company consisting OF forty
men and ten wagons. Mr.. Garaow brought
IN SD ,OOO in specie and Mr.. Roussi, SIS. 600
They bring no news of importance from the
Mexican country. The new Governor. who
was appointed TO succeed Amijo had not ar
rived. He was, however, daily expected at
Santa Fe, and it is thought considerable
change would be made in the ministerial affairs
III that quarter.
The intelligence of the annexation of Texas
10 the United States, had not reached that
portion of the province; the news wonld bc
carried into Santa Fe and probably first TO Chi
huhua, by the outward bound traders. the
foremost OF whom were met at about ten DAYS
| travel oil Santa Fe. The provinces were com
paratlvely In state of quietude; but great
excitement prevails throughout all Western
Mexico in relation to the subject of war which
was the universal cry-and it is supposed by
an intelligent gentleman who arrived i'm the
present company, that upon the arrival of the
caravans with the news of annexation, that
they will be badly treated, if not attacked by
open hostility, so great is the feeling even in
Santa Fe upon this subject.
From the time the company left Chihuhrm
until their arrival at Independence, they had
met favorable weather for travelling--and i'm
lhis long journey over the praries, nothing
transpired TO hinder their progress; they en-
| countered several tribes OF Indians. but no
hostile attempts were made by them; they
also met four different companies of traders
on their way out, numbering more than 100
wagons, and over double that number of men;
they were all getting along smoothly. a
great rush is made this season for Chihuhua;
but few of the traders going out will stop al
Santa re. Goods are much higher in Che
California, and sales more certain. The mon.
ey brought IN by this company is the proceeds

SINGULAR ARRIVAL.-It is really
matter OF curiosity to look over file of pa
pers published just before The American Rev
olution, says the Boston Olive Branch, aud see
how the patriotic feelings of our worthy faith
ers showed themselves in every thing they
did: even the transporting of a wagon load of
merchandise, from one town to another is a
great curiosity. Here Is Tn example, taken

including the editorial remarks and the Bill of
Lading:i
Last week arrived i'm town from Plymouth
a number OF Bars of Steel. made i'm that Coun-

After what has been said and wril
ten by yourselves, 1t will be confden

the manner you have agreed in youl
statement to us.
Should you not do so, we are salts.
fled, however much we may deprecate
violence and bloodshed, that violent
measures will be resorted to, TO com.
pei vour removal, which will result in
most disastrous consequences to your.
selves and your opponents, and that
the end will be your expulsion from
the State. gs m
We think that steps should be taken
by you to make it apparent that you
are actually preparing to remove in
the spring.
By carrying out, in good faith, your
proposition to remove as submitted TO
us, we think you should be, and will
be permitted to depart peaceably next
spring for your destination west of the
Rocky Mountains.
For the purpose of maintaining law
and order in this county. the Command
ing General proposes to leave an arm.
ed force in this county, which will be
sufficient for that purpose. and which
will remain so long as the Governor
deems it necessary.
And for the purpose OF preventing
the use of such furce for vexatious or
improper objects, we will recommend
the Governors of the State to send some
competent legal officer 10 remain here,
and have the power of deciding what
process shall be executed by said mill

We recommed to you TO place every
possible restraint in your power over
tine members ofy your church, to prevent
them from committing acts OF aggres-
sion or retaliation, on any citizens OF
the State, as contrary course may.
and most probably will, bring about a
collision which will subvert all efforts
to maintain the peace in this county;
and we propose to make similar re-
quest of your opponen'sln in this and the

find that peace and prosperity in the
