The ST. Louis Republican has advces from
Santa Fee to the goth of October:
A report had been put in circulation that
Gen. Kearney had been killed, but the rumor
is unlounded. A Gen. Bonny had been killed
near the Moro village by his servant, at the in
stigauon of the formers wife, and this, it is
supposed gave rise to the rumor. Many and
conflicting reports were in circulation with re-
gard to tho traders, and most Of them agreed
in stating that Magoftn and Connolly had been
plundered by the indians.
Oae company Of the Mornons, together with
the most of their wOHeu, have been ordered TO
winter at Pucbla-the rest of the battalion
started on the 18th for California.
Gen. kearney had sent back orders to Col
Doulphan to make an exPedlt on against the
Navajo Indians, and after ChastlSng them into
peace with New Mexico, 10 proceed and join
Gen. Wool.
Tho Government has sufficient supply Of
provisions at Bcnt's Fort to feed the men be-
longing to the expedition through the winter
bat their horses are likely to suffer for forage.
A correspondent Of The Republican, under
date of the 20th October, states that General
kearney had abandoned his wagons already,
and had packed baggage and provisions on pack
mules. The express left the Gen. at Fra Girls
total, 205 miles south OF Santa Fo.
Positive intelligence bad been received of'lhe
robbery OF Mr.. Mag, fin, by either Indians or
MeXjcaus. HIS wagons had been burned.
Various rumofs have been put atiuat in San
ia Fe uI intended night attacks upon the Amc-
rrcans there, but no direct manifestations had
boon n.atc on the part the people.

ROBBERY ANB ARREST AT NORFOLK. The
Norfolk Courier gives an account ola daring
robbery committed there on Tuesday, by a
m IN named Thompson from Now York, IN
which another named Logan, n carpenter from
Baltimore, is implicated. Thompson, 1t APP
pears, went TO the market house, aud informed
a countryman, that vessel had just arrived
from Mexico, having on board 20 Americans,
7 Of whom had been ped by the Indians,
and persuaded him to go and see the novel
spectacle. They started off together, and soon
fell in with Logan, who at Thompson's request
accompanied them. After proceeding short
distance they asked the conntryman to treat
which he refused to do--the loan ofa dollar
WAS then demanded, which he also refused
he was then seized by Logan, who took about
SIS from him, handed it to Thompson, and held
his victim at bay with drawn knife, until the
villain with the money, was out ofsght, when
he escaped also. The countryman, who is a
respectable farmer from Currituck, N. c., ma
med Waterfcld, laid the facts befor the Mayor,
who in a short time succeeded in arresting both
of them. They were committed for trial, Lo-
gan had been living at Norfolk about two
months, and always bore the character Of a
quiet and correct man. Thompsoa had arr-

The Right Of way.

Our Philadelphia neighbors are 'going
on" in terrible way relative to the
''rlght OF way which the Legislature of
Pennsylvania is about granting TO the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad. They seem
TO think that the very existence of Balti-
more depends on its consummation, and
the commercial standing 'ofP Philadelphia on
its rejection. Ii the depot of the Balti-
more road, located at Pittsburgh, is to ruin
Philadelphia, what will be the effect of its
location at Parkersburgh, or even at Whec-
ling! At one Of these three points it is
certain to find depot on the Ohio; and
Of these three, according TO our philoso-
ply, Pittsburgh seems TO us 10 be the
most favorable to Philadelphia and the
least so to Baltimore.-Balt. Sun.

This subject is still talked of, and In
some quarters, the scheme is alluded to
as by'no means impossible. Mexico, it
is contended, is tumbling to pieces, and
unless some of the monarchies of the Old
World interfere, she will beyond ques-
ton, be absorbed in the United States.-
Would it be polite, wise or practicable in
England, France, and Spain to attempt
any such movement! We perceive that
the scheme is advocated, not only by the
London Times, but indirectly by the
Journal des Debafs, the organ of the
French Government. That paper, after
stating that Mr.. Poinsett, conformably to
the instructions OF his Government, labor
ed to bring about the Federal system in
Mexico, IN order to dismcmber her the
more easily, pretcnds TO have been in
formed by private correspondence and
trustworthy travellers that all the honest
and weIl-intentioned people of the coun-
try regretted the Royal rule, and express
ed lively wishes to see it reconstructed in
the hads of some foreign prince. This
return" adds the Jousnal, ''of the Span
ish American Republic to monarchial
ideas is serious subject for meditation;
they turn their sspirits to monarchy as
their onl ! means OF safety. ."-Bicknell.

DEATH OF Governor Stockton, OF
DELAwARE.-An Extra received last night
from the Delaware State Journal brings
intelligence of the lamented death of the
Hon. Thomas Stockton, Governor Of the
State Of Delaware, who died very sud-
denly at Newcastle on Monday evening
last. Whilstin one of the public offices,
without any premonition of his approach
ing end, his head fell suddenly upon his
breast, and he died without a struggle or
a groan. A rupture of some of the large
blood vessels in the vicinity Of the heart
is supposed by the physicians TO have
been the cause OF his death. His gener-
al health and spirits for some time previ-
GUS had been remarkably good. His Gu
bernatorial term for service would not
have expired until January, ls49,-Nat.

Sale of wife.

A few days ago, man named Cross,
a shoemaker, residing at Woodside, sold
his wife and child for $500, to a person
named Tyrer. Five pounds was paid
down as adeposit, but when the purchas-
er was about to convey his bargain away,
the lady refused 10 acknowledge the con-
tract, and, after long alteration, Gross
walked off with his wife and child, to-
gether with what was left of Mr.. Tyrer's
money. Gross. who tells the story as a
good joke says nc knew very well his
wife would never agree 10 the bargain,
but that there is no dealing with ''the
pride and conceit Of his wife" since the
gentleman valued her at so large sum as
