The Santa Fe Expedition. The 81.
Louis papers of The Dist instant, contains
some accounts from Gen. Kearrey's com
mand. Gen X. was advancing steadily on
his route 10 Santa Fe. lie marched from
Beni's Fort on The lst inst, with several
companies Of United SIsles Dragons, the
lsI regiment OF Missouri volunteers, under
Col. DOnIphan, and the battalion of vOlun~
leer artillery, under Major Clark. The
troops were all in excellent health and Spr-
iIs. A general stampede haG taken place
among ,he horses, by which some Gfy of
them Chiefly belonging to the volunleers)
were lost, and il was feared would noI be
recovered. Captain Moore Of the DrogOOnS,
had captured three spies, who had been
sent oul from Santa Fe 10 ascertain the char
acter, extent, &c, Of the Uniled SIaIes
force. After their capture and their put,
pose was ascertained, by The orders Of Gen,
KeaTney they we're shown all over Ihe ar
my, and, after they had seen every lbng'
they were dismissed and permitted I0re'urn
10 Santa Fe.
From these men, and also from other
sources il had been ascefaiaed saIlslacIorl
ly that there would be 10 resistance made 10
Gen. Kearney's iakiog possession OF Santa
Fe. In fact, il is said that the Mexlcans
we're awaiting The arrival of Ihe army. be-
leving that il would furnish them harvest
IN tho way Of trade, and protection from
1.-The troublesome Indians in their vicinity.
There were no troops al Santa Fe, uor IN
the upper provinces, and none were eSpec"
ted. Governor ArmUo had issued proc"
amallon, in which he states that he exls
llng hosliIilies between the Unlpd States
and Mexico will not interrupt th, trade be-
tween The Unlted States and Saa la fe;Iha'
in all respects, il shall be cOndicted as If
The war did moi exist.

For Mending Broken China, Glass, Earthen-

Fancy articles Of Every Description.
YNHE manufacturer, in consideration of the de-
Il mand for an article of the kind now present
ed, has been induced to turn his attention to the
preparation of Cement which shall possess the
advantage of being uniform in character, as well as
simple in its application, and not be liable to the
objections urged against the numerous articles sold
under the name of Cement" The advantages of
such an article as is presented will strike at once
the mind of every housekeeper, as being great dis
lderatum in Domestic Economy, saving family
many dollar in the course of year with the tri-
fling cost of single bottle of the Cemeut.
The adhesive property which it contains is SO ex-
traordnary that the probability is that articles mend
ed with it will be more likely to break in fresh
place than where it has been previously mended.
AS no ordinary heat will affect it. and at the Same
time the joints SO mended being scarcely percep-
hbe, the advantages will be at once appreciated bv
all who shall give it trial

SKELETON FOUND In BROADWAY THE
workmen employed in digging for the main
gas-pipe in Broadway in front OF Stewards
new building, about noon on Monday, threw
up the complete skeleton of a woman. II was
lying directly under the sidewalk, and not
more than eighteen inches from the fag-stones.
A crowd was almost instantly collected by so
novel and startling circumstance, and the
continuous football in Broadway seemed as if
suddenly arrested by an electric thrill. A thou
sand conjectures flew from lip to lip, but none
can tell aught of the history ofthose white and
mouldering bones. But could the I" airy
chambers of that ghastly skull be again filled
with the living brain that once throbbed with
in, perhaps we should shudder beneath his
tory of some secret and appalling horror.
SCENE IN CoURr.-Whie Mr.. Estes was
giving his testimony, in case trying at the
Justices Court. in Van Buren county, Mo-,
in trifing suit, Mr.. Anderson called him a
liar. The insult was resented. Anderson be-
ing the stronger man, got Estes down, and
was dealing heavy blows upon him, when Es-
tes drew a pen knife and stabbed HIM some
half dozen times, and he fell back hfeless
corpse. Estes was admitted to bail, and it is
rumored that he has been summarily dealt
with by Anderson's friends.
