A Rum TRAGEDY-A CHILD SHOT
James Ryan, living at the Flats, near the
cana, got into an ARRAY last night with
some fellows up the low path, in which he
! got considerably bruised and beaten. He
was laboring under the excitement Of Ii.
quor, aud maddened, il Is said, with jealous
rage towards his wife, both of which eau
SEES operated to produce the quarrel in
winch he got badly worsed. In this
exasperate mood, he went home, accom-
panied by single individual it being
about II o'clock at night; and on entering
the house, his wife, trIghtel at his bloody
clothes and angry appearance, fled to
near neighbours leaving their only child,
bright little boy about three years old,
asleep in the foot of the bed Ryan, in a
rage, seized a gun from under the bed, and
swearing vengeance upon some one whom
he declared was standing between him and
his wife, discharged it appearanty at ran
dom. The man who accompanied him
home, had hold of hm at the time, aud
soon succeeded in Wrenchng the gun from
his hands. Ii was some minutes after this
melee, that it was discovered the bed was
on fire, occasioned by the burning wadding
from the gun, and in eXtinguishing the
flame, the dead body ofthechiId wasiound
Ii was wing in aquiet sleep with its face
to the wall. The contents of the gun had
passed through its head from back of its
ear out at its forehead, and so near was the
mnzzIe that nnburnt powder was found in
the wound.
We visited the house to-day, and more
wretched picture ofrum's doings we never
saw. There sat the wife, a bad woman no
doubt with her eyes bIaeEened by blows
from her rum-mad. dened husband. Beside
her was her only child, but yesterday
promising, pratilmg boy, a copsc; the house
in uproar, and lis walls stained with blood;
aud the partner of her miSeries in the

A New REpUBLIC.-In conversation,
Yesterday with gentleman recently from
Santa Ee we learned a fact which has not
heretofore been alluded TO in the accounts
from that quarter. Before this gentleman
left Santa Fe, Gov. Armijo informed him
that there was at that time a Measure in
contemplation to form new confederacy
OF States IN Northern Mexico that they
proposed TO declare their independence Of
Mexico, and then to unite as a Republic;
that to secure the cooperation OF the De-
partment of New Mexico in this enterprise,
Mr. HackuS, lawyer of some celebrity,
from Chihua hua, had visited him at Santa
Fe, aud developed the plan TO him.
The States of Zacalecas, Durango,
Sonora, Tamauipas and Nueva Leon,
now united in one State, Coahuila, Chi
huahua, aud California, were parties to the
contemplated revolution, and the object Of
the mission of MIR. Hackus to Santa Fe,
was to enlist Gov. Armljo in the struggle.
Gov. Armljo is understood TO have return
Cd an evaSlve answer, leaving il 10 time TO
determine the most polite course for him
10 pursue. Meanwhile, Mr. Hackus was
still in New Mexico, preparing the people,
il is likely, for the events in progress, and
there can be liule doubt, if a separation has
been, or should be consumniaied, that
Santa Re will form part fthe new Re-
public-unleSs. indeed, the United States
sohuld enforce the claim which She has set
