and in honor Of it, the artillery fired thirteen guns
from their encampment on ths highlands near the
town.
On the next day, formal possession was taken Of
the town, Gen. Kearney addressed the citizens, and
took the usual oath from the prefect and alcalde OF
the place II shall have any time left shall, on
tomorrow, give you a report OF the ceremonies
which took place on the occasion. On the 2lst
Capt Fischer of the llery, captured three OF the
enemy's cannon at Sallisteo, small town, twenty
seven miles from Santa Fe, aud there had the honor
Of gaining the only trophies won IN the campaign.
The people are Tranquil, and as peaeeabe as might
be imagined; but few of the citizens had fed the
town, and most of them are daily returning. Gen.
kearney is fast reaping for himself crown OF un-
fading laures fof his afable and kind treatment Of
the people, and the wise and statesmanlike policy
which he pursues. He proclaimed himself gov
ernOr of the territory Of New Mexico on the day
after his arrival and all look upon him as the htest
man who could have been selected To reconcile this
people thus successfully the sudden and extraor-
dinary change which their government and internal
policy has undergone.
On tomorrow body of troops will march to-
wards Albuquerque, to take possession Of that dis
trict. Ii is supposed that detachment Of the
army will also be sent to California The artil-
ery, under Major Clarke, is erecting fortihcatlons
In front of the town, and the two companies under
his command, commanded by Capts. Fischer and
Weghtman, il is generally supposed, will be sta
toned here, supported by some other forces-MaJor
Clarke commanding the garrison.
These the current reports, generally credited,
although Gen. Kearney can hardly know for certain
how the appearances of things Ray change, or what
steps may become necessary to insure permanent
tranquility in the province.
In conclusion, LET me say, that we have not lost
any man ia the artillery, nor have we any sick e
the present time; that we are all cOntented as
can possibly be, and burning with impatence TO
hear frOm frIenda in 81 I.Ou and brOTheF
soldiers in the south.

GENERAL KEARNEY IN SANTA FE.

UENEHAL kEAtNEf IN SANTA FE. =
We published yesterday, exclusively, very mi
mute account Of General Kearney's march to Santa
Fe, Of his entrance into that capital of New Mexi-
CO. and Of his taking possession, on behalf of the
United States, of the entire department. Little
else remains for us to do, with the materials before
us, than to note such circumstances as may have
been omitted in the general narrative. With this
view, we avail ourselves OF the letters in our pos
session. ......

been recovered.
Saturday. Aug. 22d.-The general is still receiving
visits and attending to matters and things which arc
referred to him. Capt. Waldo, of the volunteers
is translating the few written laws which can be
found.
Sunday, .aug. 23d.-Tho general and his staff and
some other officers, went to church to-day. There
seats in the church, except one for the gov.
ernor, and bench on which his subs sit. Gen. X
occupied the former, and we the latter. The rich
and the ragged kneel sit the floor, best they
can. When the priests ready, the service COM
menced with piece of music not unlike what have
heard in the theatre, and pretty well played. This
continued with different pieces of music till the cerc-
mony was over. After which, they escorted the
general to his quarters with music.
There is evidently large proportion Of very ig-
noran people here, and many of them seem to think,
Judging from their department, that they have no
rights and are bound to obey their superors. When
our laws and institutions established here, the
resources Of the country will be developed, and these
people will become prosperous and happy.
