FROM SANTA FEE.

In addition to the letters, which we published in
the last evenings paper, have seen another inter-
estng communication, which Ia written by dis
tnguished officer Of the army, dated 'sSanta Fe, Vi
September 10th, and from which we make the fol-
lowing synopsis: ". ..... ....s
Gen. Kearny had Just returned with 700 men from
making an excursion about 100 miles down the Rio
del Norte to the village of Tonic. The inhabitants
and country are represented to be highly satisfied
with the change of government, and apparently ia
have WED with each other in showing the greatest
hospitality and kindness 70 our troops. II is moi
apprehended that any organized resistance % the
troops will be made, and the commander will here
after have nothing to attend to but to the in
habi,ants from further depredatioDs from the
Navajo and Entau Indians. In speaking of the
satisfaction which the people Of New Mexico evnce
at the change which has taken place, the writer
states that they are reoiccd at being taken under
the protection Of our flag; that the republic of Mex.
leo never afforded protection to them, and that the
late governor (Amijo) tyrannized over and OPP
pressed them In the extreme, holding the lives OF
all in his own hands, being governor, treasurer,
paymaster, sutler, and everything else, and filing
his own Golfers, leaving all other public agents I'M
paid, or to pay themselves as best they could
feared by all loved by none, and supported by only
a few who shared his favors; but opposed, though
secretly and Intellectually, by all others On the APP
proach of our troops, Armijo attempted to make a
stand in strong position, with from 1000 10 5000
Mexicans but his fears oyercame him as our troops
steadily advanced, and he vigorously retreated
with about 100 Dragons, in the direction Of Chi
huahus. General Ugarte, who was marching from
that place with upwards of 400 dragons TO assist
Armiio having arrived within $50 miles Of Santa
Fe received from the latter by express account OF
the progress of our troops and Of his own fight,
with request that the general would await there
his arrival On the receipt Of this information, the
general left twelve Dragons, and fastened back in
the direction Of Chihuahua followed by the govern
and his escort, all whom are now out Of the ter

We advise our officers in Mexico not to make
eny more rhetorical hourishes about anhexing terri
tory, if they don't want 10 be the death Of our
neighbor. II will be- sad affair to have Kearney
and Sloet after their gallant actions, tried for the
murder Of the editors Of tho Journal. However, to
prevent, if possible, such catastrophe, do sol
EMMY assure said editors that no territory will be
really annexed without the action Of Congress.
They may, consequently, make themselves easy.
We have, indeed, some suspicion that all this terri
tory will be annexed; and il Mexico continues the
war, we can't guess how much more.
This war with Mexico, begun in self-defence, is
likely to change its character. II will be folly TO
make anything but permanent and secure peace,
that we may never again be disturbed by the folly
Of that country. tits now doubtful il this can be
done by Overcoming few provinces. We shall be
compelled 70 strike al the heart Of Mexico and put
final end to the dominadon Of demagogues andty
rants, with whom no civilized government can
maintain peaceful relations Going TO the halls of
the Monezumas may yet be no joke. ''.-' "''3"

We have seen a letter from Nashville. that refers
to the letters of Col. VIM, b. Campbell and Lieut.
Col. Anderson, which have appeared in the papers
Of that town. They led the gallant corps which
seized the first fort that was taken on the eastern
side of the city of Monterey. The writer pro-
nounces the whole achievement "the most heroic
act that ever was performed by volunteers and the
principal figures in that heroic band were the col
one and the lieutenant colonel; but it is only be-
cause they wero the highest in command" 81 know

BALTIMORE, Nov. 4, 5p. m,
The recent storm, as l anticipated in my last let

so deeply covered with water from the overlooking
of the banks of the Potomac, to put out the fires
of the locomotives and even to the floor of the

covered, and is supposed to be damaged, whilst a
number of small frame houses alongthe line have

Although there has yet been no official announce

honored and is now doubtless acting in that capaci-

undoubted source, announcing the fact. Captain
Miles has been an officer Of the 7th infantry for
nearly twenty-five years, and has seen, during that
time, much military service Baltimore is Justly
proud of him. ".t ..t

HONOR TO THE MEMORY OF THE DEAD

We understand that the remains Of the lamonted
Col. Cross are expected to reach this place in the
train of cars which leaves Baltimore at o'clock,
p. M, on Friday next. They will be escorted to
the cars by the citizen solliery Of Baltimore. As
the volunteer corps Of our city will no doubt wish
to pay the last honors the distinguished deceased,
we deem it our duty to announce the expected ar
rival of the remains on the evening indicated. We
presume that due notice will he given at a future
day of the time and place of interment.

dollar within about month. The retail price is
now 81 a ton of 900 lbs. This is one of the mis-

Extract from Gov. Roberts Annual Message TO

GENTLEMEN AT the commencement ofanother
session Of the Legislature, it becomes my duty to
inform you Of the state OF public ahalrs-to COM
municate to you what may have occurred during
the past year, and TO recommend for your consider
alton such measures as appear to me to be expedi-
ent or necessary, and which shall be calculated TO
increase the happiness OF our fellow ciiizens, and
advance the prosperity Of our common country.
cannot refrain, gentlemen, from reminding you
how signally Almighty God has hitherto prosper
ed u.s. and with what success all our efforts have
been crowned. II is pleasing TO look upon the past
history Of these colonies, aud TO contemplate the
goodness of an oyerruling Providence in our be-
half. From the FIRST settlement OF that little band
Of patriots, who, in 1922, in search Of a country
and home place where they might enjoy the
the blessings Of political freedom, the privileges
ofcly liberty aud that social intercourse for which
man is so happily constituted-established them
selves on this barbarous coast under circumstances
the most embarrassing and discouraging, far from
the haunts Of civilized man-the ruthless slave
trader excepted-unaided and unprotected by any
civilized government, surrounded by barbarous and
savage tribes, warlike and treacherous in their in
tercourse with strangers and under the influence
Of the more perfdious slave dealer. Still they
hoped by strict neutrality to cultivate the friend
shin Of the natives and il possible to fix an asyl-
nm for themselves and their children, and found
here free, sovereign and independent state. But,
notwithstanding every effor; on their part 10 main
tain good understanding with their savage neigh
bors they soon found themselves surrounded with
difficulties Of the most appalling character The
detes,able sayers fearing for the success and con-
tinuance of their vile traffic. should Christian
colony be established here, used every art in their
