Late and Important from Santa Fe,
The ST.. Louis Republican has news
from Santa Fe as late as the 9th Sep
tember. We extract the following from
the Republican Of the 7lh inst:
Gen Kearney left for California on the
25lh Of September, taking with HIM com.
panies B, C, G, X, and |, LIST U. S. Ora
goons-in all about 400 men, mounted on
mules. The route of this small command
was considered by many Of the oldest
aud most experienced mountaIneers and
traders, as one of great hardship and suf.
ierirg, if not absolutely imprac,icable-
being down on the Rio Grande to Socoro,
IAN old Spanish town, formerly of much
importance on account Of the large gar
rison stationed there,) about 200 miles
south of Santa Fe; thence west to the
"Gila,n pronounced HeeIaD thence down
the ella to within $50 or 200 miles of
the head of the Gulf of California, into
which the ella empties itself; thence north.
west to Monterey, on the Pacific. This
route is called and known as the Copper
Mine route.
This command is accompanied by the
following officers: Gen. Kearny, com.

his laborious and accurate surveys on
the northeastern boundary; and consists
of LIST lieut. Warner, of the Engineer
Corps; Mr., Bester of the District Of Co.
umbia, and Mr.. Stanley, employed at
Santa Ee as the artist OF the expedition.
The command is also accompanied by
Mr.. Fitzpatrick, Mr.. Robdoux, and a
guide from Taos, who takes with him for
his own riding fire mules, so difficult is
the route in his estimation and experience.
The general started with wagons, and
with one wagon load of pack saddles for
mules, intending to pack when the wagons
break down.
Up 10 the 9th September everything
was tranquil at Santa Fe, though a very
current rumor existed that the Armiio IA
mily would attempt 10 incite the popula.
ton to open resistance as soon as gen.
Kearnoy and the regular troops of the
United States left that part of the country
The report was not believed, however, or
if true, would have caused no uneasness
