TERRITORIAL GOVERNMENTS.

An effectual surprise appears in several jour-
NILS that Gen. Krarney. after taking possession
OF Santa Fe and New Mexico. should have ga
tah'ished a Territorial Government, and provi
sionafiy appointed several persons Ia administer
the Government; and ii is asked by W hat authori-
~ he has presumed to annex iha, territory to the
United States? We may ask in return how far
VIII the qnibbles of politicians be directed sgainst
the Government Of the country (? Our forces are
directed to capture Califbrnia, Santa Fee, and New
Mexico, territories belonging 10 the enemy. They
are captured. and the flag of the United States
waves over them. They are American territories
from fha, moment. Can the government and
laws ct Mexico he binding on a territory belong
ing to the United States? Certainly nut. Then
a new government must be established until Con.
gress shall legisiate on the subject? just so. And
II has been established by Gen. Kearney. In
this there is no assumption Of power. 1t is the
natural result of successful war. Wherever there
are communities, there must be laws.-N. Y.

THE OLE WAR

The following incident is given in a letter,
dated Monterey, October 7th, addressed to The
Louisville Courier -
While | was stationed with our left wing in
one OF the forts, on the evening of the 2lst, | saw
a Mexican woman busily engaged in carrying
bread and water 10 the wounded men of both
armies. | saw this minislering angel raise the
head OF a wounded man, give him water and food.
and then carefully bind up his CHASTITY wound with
a handkerchief she took from her own head. Az
ter having exhausted her supplies, she went back
10 her house 10 get more bread and water for
others. As she was returning oil her mission of
mercy, To comfort other wounded persons, | heard
the report OF a gun, and saw the poor innocent
creature Tall dead J | think it was an accidental
shot That struck her ] would not be willing 10
believe otherwise. II made me sick at heart. and
turning from the scene, | involuniarily raised nv
eyes towards heaven, and thought, great God /
and 70 this 'ear? Passing the spot The next day,
l saw her body still lying there, with the bread
by her side, and the broken gourd, with a few
drops OF water still in it-emblems of her errand.
we buried her, and while we were digging her
grave, cannon balls flew around us like hail"

THE GOLD MINES OF NEW MEXICO

Lieut.. Albert, of the corps of Typographical
Engineers, writing from Santa Fe, under date of
9Th October, gives the following account of a visit
he made to the gold mines Of New Mexico. He
says
"The . New Places or 'Tuesto,' is DO miles
south of this city, and abont IL miles west of the
Chihuahua road. We stayed at the house of
Senior Don Campbell, a liberal gentleman, and a
man OF extensive possessions in this mineral re-
gion. He showed us his mines of gold, copper
and lead, and loaded us with as many specimens
Of the ores as we would carry. The copper ores
contain gold and silver in fact, are rich with these
precious metals. 10 The valleys are found LARGE
Jumps of native gold. Mr.. Campbell has obtained
two, one worth $500, the other about $500. FIe
showed me a piece SIS, and has much gold which
has been obtained by the use of quicksilver; but.
as neurological specimens, this last is of course
Of no value.
81 have boxed up the specimens procured, and
shall forward them by the first opportunity.
81 have given some attention to the modes
pursued here in washing the earihs and grinding
the ores. and shall be able to compile a good 70,
port upon the subject"

back to his homo and his relations, the celebrated
and indnmiiahle Captain SAM MAKER, who
has won his way by the most distinguished bra We

He was received on the wharf by The cheers and

most incontestible evidence is adduced to show
