we are quite destitute OF Of interest from the
West the last arrivals from Santa Fe bringing lit
tie nothing worth communicating. The only reliable
information Chihuahua received here for several
weeks, has been by tho way of old Mexico Col. Don-
phan was then at chihuahua and contemplated march
ing south TO join Gen Taylor. The various runners
since received first of his defeat in Durango and
condy of his return to Chihuahua in consequence Of
reported instructions receive credit here and
probably without foundation. There has been singu
lar reissness the part of the leaders in New Mcx
