From SANTA FE.-A gentleman of this city received
a letter, yesterday from his brother in Santa Fe,
under date of the 9th of September. There some
additional items of intelligence, TO those already re-
ceived. The writer states that when Governor Ar
milo had retired from Santa Fe, he halted in the d
rectiOn Of FL Passo, and threw up breastwork to
prevent the further progress of the invading army
Becoming satisfied, however, that his force
inadequate, he determined to disband his volun-
teers, and so informed them To this they demur-
red and expressed their wish TO remain in the
public service. Commands unavang, and
mutny at length broke out, during which the regu-
lars commanded to fire the refractory voun-
teers. This they did, and the raEcheros were dis
persed Shortly after, Governor Armijo threw up his
command left the entertainments, and has not since
been heard of.
We do not pretend to say what amount Of credence
is be attached this statement, though the
is highly credtable We give the story as we re-
ceived it.-N. Louis Union, Oct. 10.
