MORE NEWS FROM THE SANTA FE
EXPEDITION.

An express from Gen. Keaney's camp, at
Bent's Fort, arrived at Fort Leaycnworh on the
1lth ultimo. The st. Louis Republican has
been favored with letters received by this ex-
press.
Gen. Kearney, with his command, set out
from Bcnt's Fort, for Santa Fe, on the first day
of August. The troops were all in excellent
health and spirits-there had been but one death
up to the time the express left.
A general stampede took place among the
horses two days before the express left, and at
the time of his leaving, about fifty horses were
missing, and ii was feared they would not be re-
covered.
A short time before the express left, Captain
Moore, of the United States dragons, captured
three spies, who had been sent out from Santa
Fe, to ascertain the character, extent, &c. of the
United States force. After their capture and
their purpose was ascertained, by the orders of
Gen. Kearncv, they were shown all over the ar
my and after they had seen every thing, they
were dismissed and permitted to return TO Santa
Fc.
From these men, and also from other sources,
it had been asceraned satisfactorily that there
would be no resistance made to Gen. kearney's
taking possession of Santa Fe. In fact, it is said,
the Mexicans were anXously awaiting the arri-
val Of the army, believing that it would furnish
them harvest in the way of trade, and protec-
tion from the troublesome Indians in their vici-
nifty. There were no troops at Santa Fe, nor in
the upper provinces, and none were expected.
Gov. Armiio had issued proclamation, in which
he states that the existing hostilies between the
United States and Mexico will not interrupt the
trade between the United States and Santa Fe.
That, in all respects, it shall be conducted as if
the war did not exist. This, ofitself is a suGf-
cient indication that Gov. Armijo does not intend
TO offer resistance to Gen. Kearney.
Our informant states that the ladies of Santa
Fe were making extensive preparations for the
reception of the United States troops, and some
of them expected to be permitted TO go with
the expedition TO California. Preparations were
making for iandango dances and other sports.
1t is said that Col. Kearney will stop at Santa
Fc until Col. Price S regiment arrives there; that,
upon their arrival, that regiment, or portion OF
it, will be left to occupy Santa Fe and other i'm
portant points in the vicinity, and Gen. Kearney,
with the residue of the force, will proceed imme-
diately to California.
The five hundred Mormon infantry were pro-
crossing rapidly. The road is represented as in
splendid condition.

LATER FROM THE RIO GRANDE.

The steamship New York, at New Orleans
left Brazos St. 0go, on the 9th and Galveston on
the 1 lth ult.
Gen. Taylor quietly left Motamoras for Ca.
morgo early on the morning of the 9th, in
the steamer WhitevilIc, accompanied by about
one half of the Texan Regiment oflntantry, and
a few Regulars.
An order had been issued from the Head Quar-.
ters, prohibiting the further introduction of spirit
Gus liquors into Matamoras, and specifying that
the vending of the same should cease on the
18th ult.
A sl,irmish had taken place near Camargo be-
tween party of about 600 Indians, and some
70 or 80 Rangers, on account Of depredations
committed by the former, in which the Indians
lost some twenty men, and the Rangers two, the
latter party recapturng 80 horses.
According to recent private adyices from Mex
leo citizens living at Monterey, TO their friends
in Matamoras, there are in that vicinity about
1000 soldiers who can be concentrated in very
short notice at Monterey. This comprises all
the Mexican forces this side ofthe Sierra Madre,
General Taylor's advces, which are not, how
ever, of quite so recent date, state that there
are only about 90 squadrons working on the
Notifications at the city in qucstion.-Ciacinaati

A LocOFOCo CANDIDATE IN THIS DIsTRICT.-
Mr.. Modary, as we were informed yesterday, has
concluded to run for Congress in this District
No convention will be held, we believe. tits ta-
ken for granted that all will stand out of the way
when this luminary of progressive Democra-
cy" designs to shine. We are satisfied with the
conclusion to which the county seat cliques have
come, after materially deliberating upon the ques-
lion of candidacy. The Wings of the District
will have an opportunity of testfying the meas
ure of regard they feel for man who has defa-
med them and done more to Danish political hon
esty from the halls of Legislation, than any other
man in Ohio. Honest Democrats, men of prin-
ciplc in the ranks Of the opposition, will have an
opportunity of bestowing a token of affection on
Il man who has enriched himself while he has
helped to impoverish them, TO corrupt the legsIa-
ton of the State, unsette its business, break up
the foundations of its prosperity, and lead them
from every time honored landmark of a true De-
mocracy. lie has controlled the patronage OF
the Executive, as far as it has been bestowed in
this State, and he has had it bestowed on none
but those abect creatures who were ready to con-
tribute to his aggrandlzement. He has caused
the dismissal of good post master here TO make
room for his brother, and brought about the eject
ment Of the old Marshal to make room for moi
sy partisan unknown to the State. He has man.
aged to billet son-in-law of his on the national
treasury in responsible office, for which he has
not solitary qualification and to which he could
hardly have procured the recommendation of
half dozen men. Such things may not be con-
sidered of any consequence by the Locoloco citi-
zens of this district and the fact that he is at the
very head of the Bank Destructives may be re-
con,mcndatiOn! We shall be able to tell better
after election. Mr.. Stanbery cannow understand
what Locofoco promises are worth.-O. j. Jour.

OHIO VOLUNTEERS.

About sixty of the Ohio volunteers returned
from the Rio Grande yesterday.
They give sad accounts of the condition of
things there. Fare intolerablo, sickness cxten-
sive, work hard; climate bad. General Taylor
gave them permission 10 return on account of
sickness. lie is willing to part with more. Gov
ernment has poured in upon him more troops
than he knows what to do with.
The following is an extract of letter from
one of the Third Regiment of Ohio Volunteers,
dated Camp Boknap, opposite Buria, July 29lh,
1916, to his friend in Cincinnati:
"We left the mouth of the Rio Grande the
next morning after sent you my last pencil
scrawl. We did not start till the sun was five
hours high, and were compelled to march thir-
teen miles in the hottest part of very hot day,
through swamps and chapporal; sometimes wad-
ing in two feet water and three of mud, and a
pretty looking set we were. A steamboat took
up the heavy baggage; we beat her by two hours;
we then had TO carry all our baggage upon a
bluff, about mile and half back of the river,
and there pitch our tents. The next day we
pushed half a mile further from the river, and
with axes and spades, commenced clearing a
camping ground for the whole regiment We
had a tall time in clearing out the chapperol, full

as they call them herc.) We had one good
mess of soup, however.
1--WE are now encamped Two miles from the
river. from which we have TO carry all our wa
ter in camp kettles. We are literally hewers Of
wood aud carriers Of water, sand nothing else."
The water is very muddy, and much worse than
the Missouri; but we are glad TO drink II, mud
and all, considering the distance we have 10 car
nv il. the scorching weather, and the salt proyl-
sions. Our food is abominabe; when you break
biscuit, YOU can see it move, (if the critters are
not dead from eating bad nour.) The pork and
bacon are of the same character. We would
not mind this so much, if they would only serve
us out enough: we do not get half rations, and
were il not for the wild beelwe shot, We should
staryc.
ave expect to remain here for two months.
Mosquitoes abound; the "boys" are getting home
sick, and trying every way to get discharged
We have a great many sick; out Of mines an our
mess, five are sick, one of whom we think
cannot recover; a case of yellow fever is reported
in Burita. Some of the "boys" who used to
sing,
"Rio Grande! would were upon your banks"
now reverse the case, and wish they were three
thousand miles away from it,"

CARTHAGE RESOLUTIONS.

Saturday last, the Loco convention assembled
at Carthage, in Hamilton county, and adopted,
on motion of Mark Buckingham, the resolutions
Offered by Il. C. II. Smith.
ResOlUcd, That the Democracy Of Hamilton
county, in Convention assembled, at this period
when their opinions have been vindicated by the
action of the general government, have now, as
they have ever had, in the darkest hours of the
cause of Equal Rights, steadlast confidence in
the principles of the Party.
ReSOired, That, differing with the Wings, both
as to the policy and the constitution of the gener
al government, we declare ourselves unqualified
ly opposed to
lst. Any United States Bank.
Cd. Any Protective Tariff.
Sd. Any distribution of the proceeds of the
public lands.
4th. Any scheme of Internal Improvements
which shall recognize specific appropriation for
Improvements within particular States.
ReSolred, That the West will seal an amnes-
Ity upon the Oregon question, only on condition
that the ordinance of 1887 the broad foundation
of the prosperity of the Northwest, shall be ex-
tended over our Pacific Empire, present and flu
ture.
Resolved, That in behalf of the Constitution
and the people, we demand that the currency
of the country shall be money, not credit-gold
and silver, not the paper counterfeits of value.
Resolved, That the Wings have chosen "an
honest title to dishonest Tax Law" and that
until every vestige of distinction between the
property of the citizen and the corporation is cut
away, we will make no terms with the infamous
law, its movers or hackers.

THE BRITISH TARIFF.

The Canadians are rejoicing over the passage
Of the new Tariff
In Birmingham, Sheffield and Leeds, we have
no doubt the news, which carried dismay and
terror to so many American bosoms, was receiv-
ed with shouts of joy. Indeed it cannot be other
wise. Letters have been received from opera
tives in England, 1--WE are told by the New York
Courier and Enquirer in which they state that
"lheir employers had promised, if the American
Tariff bill passed, to raise the wages of men one
penny per yard" twill necessarily, therefore,
be joyful tidings to them. Can anything more
clearly show the iniquity of the law, than its
effect to reduce the wages of American laborers,
while it increases the wages of those in Great
Britain! Could the British Parliament have a.
dopted system better calculated 10 promote the
comfort of its own people, or 10 strike down the
prosperity ofours!-RichmOad Wig.

LATEST FROM THE ARMY.-A gallant officer of
the United States Army has favored us with a let

Ii is dated
CAMARGo, (MExIco,) July 81, 1916.
Information that rely upon is, that General
Mejia, with the remnant of Arista'S army, 1000
strong, is at Cadereita, town thirty miles east of
Monterey. This town has garrison of near L.
600 men, (regulars;) a population of 15,000.-
Gen. Paredes was at San Luis de Potosi on the
| l5th inst, on his way to Monterey, with 5000
regular troops; he also called on Nuevo Leon for
5000 active militia; from this department of
Tamaulpas he expects 5000 more; making his
entire force, when he reaches Monterey on the
10th or 2Oh proXimo, near $4,000. Gen. Tay-
lor Is straining every nerve TO get there before
him, but cannot possibly do so until the 9th or
! 10th of September; so Paredes has the advantage
/ of numbers, and of naturally strong rocky po-
ston. Paredes will have forty pieces of cannon

THE REASON WHY.

Will any of our cotemporaries inform us why it
is that we have in our country so much ado a.
bout nothing2 2" Wherefore such i'll bodinos
about the course of Great Britain7 Can it DO that
there is existing in our midst disposition TO
temporise and tamely submit TO the diclation of
any foreign power2 The question, the great
question, that should be considered in any differ
ence that may arise between our Government and
any others, is, ,ohat are orr rights? This be-
ing settled, dscaiming all the arts of the petty
diplomacy Of European cabinets, we are in duty
and honor bound, boldly to step forward in yndi
cation Of those rights. But there is another DUTY.
high and holy duty, which the government
and people Of this great Republic owe to them
selves and TO the world, II is, 10 be ysaJy IN
maintain their rights
We hear much said about the evils of war. and
really we do not believe that those evils have
been, OF can be, oveTated But We are far from
believing these evils greater than any, or all
others, that might befal us. Disgrace is a thou
sand fold worse than death, and basely to surreo-
der our known rights, must be dssracefu.
Would we avoid alike the horrors Of war and
the evils Of basey avoiding it, we must be ready
