Latest from Santa Fs.-We received yesterday
a letter from correspondent at Santa Fe, dated
on the 3lst of December, and Awarded, we sup.
pose, by some company whose arrival has not yet
been announced. This letter, taking up events
where the writer. in his last communication, left
off, informs US, that on the OH Of November, Gen.
AsxIJo assumed the duties of Governor of New
Mexico. All tho Americans in Santa Fe were
invited to the place, and, after the message, pariook
ofa collation.. In The evening the Americans gave
q ball, and things wen. eff in fine style. On the
next day, Gov. Armijo issued his proclamation,
resembling an order which had been previously
issued requiring all Americans to remove from
the frontier to Santa Fe. The writer says lha,
tho people, under Armijo's administration. now
look for quiet and protection. Before, they had
their stores closed-tbey were prohibited from
retailing goods-and one person, Judge FULLY,
was forced to leave The Frontier and move into the
interior, with his family and stock. All the Amer.
cans in Taos and the neighborhood were also
ordered into the interior, but they lad not moved
when Gov. Armjo issued the order of revocation.
And we'll it was for the government; for, had it
been enforced, revolution was contemplated
which would have rallied all tho Indians against
the Mexicans, and for tho protection Of tho Ame.
ricans.

REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER or PATENTS

The Senate resuned the consideration Of the
Report from the Committee on Printing, in favor
of the printing of $4,000 copies of the recen, re.
port of the Commissioner Of Patents. without the
list of patents, and the amendments theretn; ons
to print $4,000, and the other to print 10000
copies only.
Mr.. ASHLEY remarked that he deemed it proper
to explain the motives that had induced him last
year, 10 move for the printing Of considerable
portion o. the extra copies OF the Report OF the
Commissioner of Patents: He was quite willing
to take any responsibility tha, might rest on his
shoulders. for such a movem"nt; and insisted.
of feeling that ho had waited for public money, in
printing the extra numbers, moved for by him
last year, he was quite sure that the agricultural
state of Arkansas, that he had the honor in part
10 represent, had derived more benefit from the
Report Of the Commissioner of the Patent office
last year, than from all the public printing of ex.
ira copies Of documents since the foundation Of
our government; and had expressed stronger
wish for that one document than all others that
werc printed at ;he public expense; aud SO far,

Mr. Ashmun remarked, that he was not TO

Afterwards, Mr. Schenck offered set of
Resolutions, proposing to inquire into the
manner in which Ingersoll had obtained the
aledged information, and whether the prlvi-
lege of the House had not been violated; and
ifso, ifpunishment should not be inflicted up
on the guilty person. After calling the ayes
and nays, three or four times, at every step
of which large body Of Locofocos opposed
all investigation, an amendment was offered
by MIR Petit, of Indiana, an avowed infidel,
calling for a committee of five or six to ex-
anime into the matter with view to i'm

~ The following from the Belknap Gazette
of the 9TH inst. the reader will see corroborates
in the main particulars the statements we
made a few weeks since in reference TO the di-
rcctjon which the Meredith and Plymouth
road would probably take. The section COM
mcnced in SIndbornton will naturally form
part of the branch from Franklin. This, it is
well understood, is the reason the work il
commenced there, and no where else. Inas-
much ms it has been pretty well settled that
money could not be procured TO make the road
according to the original plan, this is no doubt
the wisest course that could be pursued. The
fiourishng section of country about Meredith
will thus be accommodated; and the section up.
on the more northern part Of the route and
bordering upon Connecticut River will be
nearly rs well accommodated bya northern
branch Of the Lebanon as they could have
been by road from Meredith through Benton
TO the River The anne xcd is the article re-
ferrcd 10, from the Gazette:
THE RAILROAD. The contractors upon our
railroad do not commence operations as yrt;
and, up to this time have failed to assign any
adequate reason for the delay They had let
out one section, near Slndbornton Bridge, the
contractor upon which commenced work last
week and is going on to complete the job with.
in the specified time. There has been much
dissai siaction, and not without cause, at the
course which contractors have taken in this
matter. THEY hare neither commenced, nor
let il clone BIZ: the matter will probably be
brought to a crisis, so far as they are CONCERN

ITThe bringing up of the old Federal Sub
Treasury System Ognn, by the Polk Admin
stration, with the certainty almost of passing
it this session of Congress, has excitedn good
deal Of fear in the large business places ofthe
country, and the effect upon the money mar
ket has been seriously felt-indocd, n pressure,
10 some extent, has been the effect, as all bus
ness men can soc. This system is an old en-.
envy of the people, but friend to the office
holders There are some Of the Polk party,
probably not in Office, who do not like this sys.

its effect upon the Farmer. We introduce it as
purely locolaco testimony:
"A farm IN the vicinity of New York, being
mortgagcd for $25OO and the mortgage fore
closed, was sold at auction, within a day or
two for $4,000, from which there were costs
and expenses to be deducted, amounting TO
some four or five hundred dollars; leaving a.
bout three hundred dollars coming TO the
fortunate farmer Now, had IL not been for
the apprehension created by the Sub Treusu.

paid for II in is36 Here we see how these

ADJOURNMENT or CoNoREss--THE TARIFF.
The National Intelligencer of Saturday has
the following paragraph, which contains state
mpnts Of general interest,"
From what we have casually heard in con.
versaton, VIC think It quite possible Tint the
Tariff question, and some others, may be suf-
fcred to lie over to another session, and that
the appropriation bills, &c, may be passed in
short order, so as to allow Congress to adjourn
much earlier than they possibly can do, If the
majority in Congress should as the govern
mcnt puper has intimnted that they positively
would, seriously endcavor now to pnssa new

that it has been determined, at a consultation
OF the Democratic leaders in Congress to make

December, and, as consequence, TO terminate

first of June and the first Of July
