 There is still no little talk about the re- sut of the Convention; and lcoadcr contiji- ues to be expressed, that an Ashley coEren- lion should have selected a Southern man for Representative to Congressl The truth is, all here see and feel that the pain-dealing NORTH has, again, been dHped aaI tric&ed out of her just claims. We do not object to Col. JOHNSON, as a man or politician; prob ably no one, in the South, would have been more acceptable to Northern Democrats.-- But the North icaals and needs man in Congress, from her own region. Her inter ests demand it, and the honor she considers her due. Why then, as she lost the chance for Representative, should she not make an effort for a Senator? She wiHi Her recent defeat has unhoodwinked her, and nerved her rugged arm. Beware, ye gulling, wheeling and sinister jugglers

FROM SANTA FE.

The ST. Louis New Era of June 20lh has
the following:
The Randor arrived yesterday from Fl.
Leavenwnr:h. 10 which place she had carried
considerable quantity Of military stores &
supplies. Capt. Douglass states that. before
he left Fort Leavehworth. Mr.. Bransford
arrived as an express from Bent's Fort, on
the Arkansas. He reports that ARMIJo had
been suspended as Governor TO Santa Fe,
and Gen. UREA appointed in his place; and
that the most rigorous steps were taken 10
prepare for a war Of defence or offence; thai
Notifications and military preparations Of va
rious kinds were going on; Iha. draught
was actively progressing in Santa Fe and
chihuahua. and that every third man Of the
whole population was taken. The Indians
were reported 10 be unfavorablc 10 the A
meriCans, and the Mexicans relied much on
their aid. Gen UREA has dispatched 800
troops TO march 10 Beni's Fort, and 10 meet
Spier's comI any on the prairiesiand conduct
il into Santa Fe. This was The company
that was said to have taken quantity Of
arms and ammunition 10 Santa Fe. and in
pursuit Of which Col KEARNEY had semi the
United States Dungeons. Mr.. Bransford
states that it would he impossible tor the
Dragons 10 overiake them before they would
arrive at SaGia Fe. Mr.. B. expressed The
opinion very confidently that before that time
Benl's Fort would be in the possession OF
the MexiCans.
The Rdndor left Fort Leavenworih oil
Monday last. AT thai time nine volunteer
companies had arrived al The Fort All The
regular troops had started over the prairies
except thirty or forty. The volunteer rom
panies from he upper country are said 10

IN subject them 10 military discipline. Col.

and will probably FIND more difficult TO disci
pine some Of The Missouri volunteers than 10

regular troops and officers renders it more
difficult 10 enforce discipline or teach military
