,uroRTANT FROM SANTA FEE.
:, J,nuis New Era OF the 10Th inst. says:
n..p,,,nor arrived yesterday from Fort Lea
=" sro,,h. to which place she had carried con-
',rablc quantity of military stores aud sup
,. Capt. Douglass states, before ne lett Fort
p'.ms,worth. MIR. Branstord arrived as an ex-
L' ''s rom Ben,'s Fort on the Arkansas. he
W,,s that Armijo had been superseded as Go
ief 81 NJ Santa Fe, and Gen. Urea appointed
Wis MS place; and that the most vigorous steps
y. s.,s a zen 10 prepare for war OF defence and
We. W. that forlifcalions and military prepare
o .a,,s 81 various kinds were going on; that
w. w.. was actively progressing in Santa Fe and
1r..;snahua. and that every third man OF the
l.ha1s population was taken. The Indians were
sno,,.i 10 be untavorable 10 the Americans, and
~ ve,icans relied much on their aid. General
~, had despatched three hundred troops 10
'.arrb 10 Ben,'s Fort, and 10 meet Spears compa-
-. ON the prairies and conduct il into Santa re.
Thi, was the company that was said 10 have
,,s,o a quantity Of arms and ammunition 10
Ssp,a Fe, and in pursuit oil which Col. kearney
hal sent The United States dragons. MIR. Brans-
Ind states that it would be impossible for the dra-
eoons 10 overtake them before they would arrive
d Santa Fe. Mr.. B. expressed the opinion very
confidently that before that time Bents Fort
also states that Mr.. Bent, ]. Folger, and Francis
Bl1ir had gone TO Chihuahua in the spring, and
hat been expected home more than month, and
mon allure 10 arrive had created the impression
mai lhey had been arrested and detained as pris-
oaers OF war.
The Radnor left Fort Leavenworlh on Monday
,a,!-at that time, nine volunteer companies nau
arrived a, The Portland she met the Iowa, win
Weish;man's company al Lexington, and The
ANA ranih, with Fischer's company al Marion.
The Iowa would reach The Fort on Tuesday
The company OF Captain Hudson was Inc oniy
one in uniform, and was marked Tor its discipline
aud orderly conduct All The regular troops had
started over the prairies, except 80 or 40. The
volun,eer companies from the upper country are
said to embrace large number OF bold, rough,
ungovernable spirits who delight in The largest
liberty; and il is found exceedingly difncull 70
subject Them TO military discipline.
Colonel Kearney has much trouble 10 keeping
order, and will probably find 1t more dif1culi 10
discipline some of the Missouri Volunteers, than
10 CONQUER New Mexico. One man had deserted
from Captain Wallon's company. The absence
81 the regular troops and officers renders /! more
difficult 10 enforce discipline.
ORDER REIGNS AT NAUVOO-The ST.
Louis Reveile says:
"The Mormon war; which lot ms lew pas.
DAYS assumed such a serions aspect, has turned
oni 10 be a very comical affair. and certainly
places The threatening forces who marched to
Nauvoo in very ridiculous light. Sharp, OF the
Warsaw Sigual, announces in an extra OF the
i4,h June, that sHa ncock is the theatre OF war;
and in his paper oil the 18th he throws down his
Iriesbats and relates the inglorous retreat oil Inc
AMI Mormon mob from Nauvoo. The war Is
now over, and peace again restored"
