his memory! He broke through the letters
of self interest in establishing the Free

FRoM SANTA FE.-A party oftraders had
arrived ut ST. Louis from Santa Fe, which
place they left on the 18th of May. All wus
quiet. Great dissatisfaction was expressed
at Col. Prices conduct.
The traders train was attacked on the way
by the Indians. One man was killed, and
one hundred head of stock captured by
them.
Gen. Keurney was soon expected at Santa
Fe.
We have Vera Cruz papers ofthe 9th. We
extract from the Eagle of that date the fol-
lowing item.
We regret 10 say that it is not in our power
to congratulate our citizens upon their good
health--it pains us TO say that there appears
to be some increase in the number and viru-
lence Of cases of fever, and we feel it duty
TO add our own to the warnings ofthe Board
ofHealth.
A New-Orleans paper says:--The papers
and private accounts say that the fever at
Vera Cruz is on the increase. When taken
in time, physicians have been pretty SUCCESS
full in its treatment, and it is not considered
dangerous; but it is to be presumed that the
habits of many of those exposed to its ravag-
es are not at all calculated to secure their eX-
empton from attack, or a favorable issue
The heat in Vera Cruz is intense. For ten
days. says the Eagle ofthe 9Th, the thernom-
eter has ranged from 81 TO % degrees, day
and night, in the shade.
GIVE heard gentleman, fresh from
the theatre of war, relnte an anecdote Of Gen.
Taylor One of the Illinois regiments was
thrown into rather close proximity with a
Mexican battery, and the balls were flying
tolerably thick, and rather close-so close ut
least, as to induce the b'hoys to dodge occa-
sionally: Old Rough was sitting astrlde of his
old grey and being in position to see the
lodging, cried out, Gentlemen, no lodging
it i'll becomes a soldier TO DODGE Old
Rough's grey horse presented fair mark,
and as the enemy had learned his where
abouts because of his old charger, very
brisk fire was opened upon the grey horse.
1t is said the balls passed around Old Rough
promiscuously, and the thing was becoming
quite too hot even for him. At last a ball
passed so near the old mans cheek as to
cause him to throw his head in an opposite
direction with a celebrity, not at all character
istic of Old Roughs Flooding habits; it was
thought the old fellow was dodging-the
movement OF his head was noticed by some
of the Ilnoians, and a hearty laugh broke
out from the b'hoys. Old Rough straitened
himself in his stirrups, and said-"Dodge the
balls, gentlemen, but no running."-.HisS.
