was, that Armio, with his guard, composed OF I
Two 70 three huQlr-l dragons, had fed towards
the South: the Pusblos returned to their homes,
aqd Saszer fed TO his hons. The young man
pledged his lie on the assertion that no enemy /
would meet Us in the CANON passes, which n'
deed turned out to be the ruth. On the l7Ih .
we encamped AT old Pecos; aud on the 18Th, in
thsovening, on the fftis,h day Of our war exPe- |
d.tion, alter most fatguing march, in which
several hundred horses and mules had TO be. lei'
behind, unable longer to follow, We arrived al
Santa Fe, The flag soon waved over Ihe palace,
and in honor OF il, tho artillery fired thirteen
guas from their eucamPmenI on the highlands
near the town.
On the next day formal possession was taken
Of the town; Gen. ksavnsy addressed the Cir
zaas, aud took the usual oath from the Project
, aud Acade Of lha place. If shall have any
time left shall, onto-morrow, give you report
Of tho ceremonies winch took place on the occa-
s.ol. On the 2l.t Capt. Fischer Of Ahe arIe-
ry, captured three @! the ensmy's cannon al
Eall,5go,a small town Iwenty-seyen miles rom
Santa Re, and there had the honor OF gaining
, the only trophies wol in the campaign.
Il was supposed that Gen. kearney would
n6niaa;o a Mexican for the Office Of Governor
f OF the dspanm gut, a1i appoint an American as
, Secretary. All lhOs, in office, who were thought
to b. ruit worthy would, in all probability be
; continued in their places.
Gen. Kcansy, il was supposed, would leave
! force Of 1000 men in Sana Fe and march in
a short time, to California, with a like number.
=, The traders who were oyertaken by General
i Kcarney5 force, were close at hand but il was
; believed that they would not be able to make
:, sales Of their goods in Mexico. They would be
y compelled to make their way slowly down the
!, Del Norte awaiting the result Of Gen. Wool's
:, movement against chihuahua,
