An extra from the office Of the Lexington (Mis.

Independence from Santa Fe, having made the trp
in twenty days. He is said to have brought intel
igence that the authorities Of Santa Fe were fortify-
ing 1t, and besides two thousand men then under
arms, the governor had made requisition for five
thousand men from Chihuahua. Every third man
in Santa Fe and its vicinity was to bear arms in it's

Houck, 1t is added, expresses the opinion that
Col Kearney ought not to take less than five thou

"Anumber of wagons loaded with ammunition and

Of march, The volunteer companies are at Fort
Leavenworth going through drills and military ex-

Col Kearney very properly keeps his counsels to
himself, and il is not known when the main BODY
of the troops will start. Many baggage wagons
are needed. The character and past conduct Of Col
Kearney afford guarantee that the expedition will
be conducted with military skill, and in such man
ner as to render it successful.

Seldom does II dsyolve on friendship to record the
death OF one that has cast so deep and general O
gloom over community as that which is our pre-
sent melancholy duty TO notice. Every heart ia
hled with grief-eyery countenance bespeaks the
anguish wrought by this most sudden and unex
Pected dispensation Of Providence Could the soil
cltude OF many kind friends or the skill Of physi.
clans, have bafaed the destroyer, still would she
have been with US; but, alas, all was in vain. Il
was her Fathers will that she should be taken
to her celestial home; and whilst her friends here
have lost much, Heaven has gained a tribute. Al
though attached TO no religious denomination, we
have every reason for believing all tpas right; that
that she was a sincere and unaffected Christian.
Being conscious Of her situation, she spoke Of death
win the greatest comPosure, and appeared impa-
tent for its approach.
The deceased was a lady of fine mind-of kind
and gentle disposition; devoted wife, fond mother,
duuful child, aectonate sister, sincere friend, and
the admiration Of all who knew her-always ready
to speak Of the virtues OF Others and never Of their
failings. She has left bereaved husband and in.

and connexions, who will bear her in mind with
cherished respect A.

The whig press is now taking as its cue-words
peace and negotiation with Mexico. Does she offer
the olive branch1 Has she told us that she is
willing to receive minister with full powers to set
tie the terms Of peace' No one pretends it. Even
Mr.. Webster himself, whilst he advises us to send
grave and solemn embassy to Mexico, de-
clares that she does not wish to treat with
US. Why, then, these idle descants upon the
blessings of peacel The constant exhortatons
to peace are only calculated to defeat their OBJ
ject. They induce Mexico to believe we are so anx-
lous to make peace, and desirous to avoid the
penses Of the war, that we will make peace upon any
terms and il is calculated prevent her from seeking
peace with us. We cannot obtain permanent peace
with her until she sees that nothing but war, and a
most destructive war, awaits her, unless she desires
and seeks negotiation in good faith IN this point Of
view, Mr. Webster's speech not to speak of it's nu-
rnerous and gross contradictions, is in the worst
possible taste.
The whig papers have also been prating about
Mr.. McDufie's having measure to propose which
will "terminate the Mexican war by a speedy ad-
iustment." No one has a higher opinion Of Mr..
McDufie's ingenuity than we have; but we should
doubt the report altogether unless he has discovered
more effectual mode Of carrying on the war with
more vigor and success. The shortest road to n
permanent peace with this Irrational and senseless
people," as Mr.. Webster calls them, is vigorous
and triumphant war. We doubt whether there is
any other royal road" to successful negotiation.

ARMY W OCCUPATION,
Camp opposite Matamoras, June II, 1916.
The day after last addressed you we pulled up
stakes but, instead Of marching the river, as
our wishes heartily dictated, we merely went up to
the Upper camp" to unite with the Washington
regiment, and form our brigade Of Louisiana volun-
teers.
The effects of too much idleness is readily per-
cepble in the camp and, as | stated to you before,
believe volunteer company must be kept in mo-
ton to insure discipline and contentment We have
improved some little in drilling, but not 30 much as
could desire.
Yesterday, the governor OF Texas, General Hem
derson, arrived here from the capital Of his State,
and bore striking marks Of the fatgues Of such a
journey In the course Of few days, we look for
a large number of mounted Texans, commanded, |
think, by General Burleson, the great Indian
fighter"
The committee appointed by the legislature of
your State reviewed the Louisiana troops yester-
day evening, and seemed well pleased with their APP
pearance and maneuvring. IL was thought that
General Taylor would accompany them, but, for
some reason, he did not.
deputation Of Tonkews Indians reached camp
this morning from the Nueces, and | expect their
braves will be in before night. They are a fine
looking set Of men, and profess to be great "bob.a-
she-lahs." Look out for horses.
No volunteers from Point Isabel as vet Mexi-
can citizens continue to return to Matamoras very
