sad news from SANTA Fe.

We have just received the following Extr,
of the 81. Louis Repeiiie, Containing impor
tani intelligence from Santa Fe; III
INDEPENDENCE, March lst l847.
Editors Of The ReUeile:-Mr. Miller, of Sa
line couaiy, and othe have Just arrived
from Santa Fe, which place they left January
18Th. They bring very bad news. A few days
on their journey they were overtaken by Luz
Glen Maxwell and another who had just made
their escape from Taos and who reported that
a rising of the rabble had taken place there
undoubtedly branch Of the recent conspi-
racy--and that Gov. Charles Bent, Gen. Elliot
Lee, Henry Lea, Stephen Lee, Sherlffnf Ia
os, and other Americans, amounting to more
than twenty-with the alcalde of Taos, and
all other natives supposed to be favorable to
the Amorcans-had been killed.
Gov. Bent was on a visit TO large farm of
hisin the neighborhood where he was attack
Ell The insurgents had also attacked Mr.
Tur ely at his distillery. Mr.. I. made a gal
liant defence with only eight men and had kept
off the murderers, 50 far, but his fate, eventu-
ally remains to be told An express had been
sent to Santa Fe, but Mr.. Miller reports that
there were not more than 400 efficient men
with Price, and that the fort (Narcy) north
of the town, was not yet in a condition to re-
ceive q garrison fora prolracted stay. The
guns, moreover, would have to be mounted, as
they were still in the town. The force OF the
rabble, was in Taos, aoout six hundred, q ough
there was every chance of their being swelled
by the Pusbla Indians, etc., in hope Of plum
der, to two or three thousand. Mr. Miller
thinks, however, Col. Price would not think of
waiting.to be besieged, would at once march
out and NEE, the crowd. They would, I'M
be scattered on the first spirited
attack.
Col. Murphy, with Government funds, was
met within four days of Santa Fe. Col. Sub
lette, bearer of dispatches, was met within a
couple of days journey of Fl. William (Bent's.)
/ was thought at Santa Fe that McGoffin had
been executed, as he had planned an escape,
,ut had been foiled in it. General Doniphan
lad received limitations to approach chihuahua
promises Of friendly reception, etc. but
reachery was designed undoubtedly, and pru
lence and valor will be necessary to exiricate
lin. The express which left Santa Fe on
anuary 9th, will probably arrive here to-mor-
ow. This will give you further information
With regard to Doniphan. The Mexicans who
ad been arrested at Santa Fe on suspicion
ad been discharged, The necessity Of more
roop' in New Mexico, with system OF SCI
erly snitable TO the brutal character Of the
is sufficiently apparent. When

perhaps TO any in the world-commanded by
Capt. Washington, Bragge, sherman, Webster
and Prentiss, each with full complement OF
men foe his respective battery. A great depen-
dence of the army will be this body nfartil-
iery, particularly as from the nature OF the
country and the difficulties Of the route over
which Santa ma has advanced, it is probable
he is very deficient in that respect.
The principal depot of provisions and stores,
it appears, is at Monterey, but there is a sufii-
Client supply of every thing at satillo, in case
Gen. Taylor should prefer to remain and re-
ceive the attack at that place--We learned from
Gen. Butler, when he was in the city, that
when he lett the army on the 1871 February,
provisions, and that only two sall rations we're
issued weekly-the other live being from local
supplies which had been collected.
The officer to whom we have alluded, ex-
presses the fullest confidence that Gen. Taylor,
acting on the defensive, and choosing his own
position, will repulse any attack that Santa An
ma can make, Notwithstanding the reported
great superiority in point Of numbers, and par
ticularly as the Mexicans must have suffered
great privations and consequent exhaustion,
in the long march across the desert from San
Luis. Contrary to the general opinion he con-
sders that under all the circumstances of the
case, 'no news'' is "good news'-we wish we
could think as he does.--N, o, Bulletin.
The Mississippi Creole. [volume] (Canton, Miss.) 1841-1851, 1847-03-27

We are Of those who repose the utmost con-
6dence in the courage and resources Of old
Rough and Ready. A brave sturdy officer
cool in the hottest fight and boldest when dam
ger is most imminent, of that temperament
which sacrifices nothing for show, and that
determination that omits nothing from a sense
Of fear. Yet he cannot be every where, and
surrounded as he is with armies in every di-
rection larger than h own and cut of from
his supplies through long line Of defenceless
comm u alton, it must be confessed that he
is in situation to tax to tn. uttermost his
military skill and experience. Whose fault
il is that such crisis has arrived is not so
much the question now, az how Il e to be met.
Certainly every nerve Of the Government
should be exerted to reinforce the army, and
every resource put forth to cover the defence
less iepols in its rear. Disaster now would
involve all that has been done in that direc-
ton, and make il needful to be done over a.
gain. /, may be the strategy Of Santa Anna
to leave the yellow fever to fight the battle
Of Mexico upon the sesbosrd, while he puts
his whole power in motion to drive us across
the Rio Grande. Such a contingency should
have been provided against. But, somehow
or other the eyes Of the whole nation have
been turned tawsrds Vera Cruz, where deeds
Ofsurpsssing eclat are expected to occur while
the more exposed and extensive line Of de-
fence has been left to Providence and "0ld
Zsck."

Major General for the reasons which are giver
in the following correspondence with the Pres
ident.
WASHINGTON Cry, March 6, l847.
Sir: Without waiting for The formality of be.
ing presented with the commission of Major
think It right to inform you at once that my
acceptance or refusal Of that high appointment
will depend entirely upon public and national
considerations, of which you, yourself will be
the judge. Personally, can have no wish to
this office; but if you believe can be Of serv-
ice to the country, am willing to forego all
private acknowledgements myself from
my family, under painful circumstances; resign
my place in the Senate, which is SO dear to me
and proceed Immediately to the theatre of
war My only stipulation would be for the
powers which deem necessary to success; and
these would be both military and diplomatic =
the command OF the army, and authority to
sign preliminaries OF peace, based upon terms
previously approved by you.
beg you to believe, sir, that nothing selfish
or personal, dictates this proposed stipulation.
There is no such thing in it. Itproceeds from
thorough conviction that, with subordinate
command, could do NJ good in the army on
the contrary, that my presence there would be
improper and mischievous; for | am known,
from my public speeches, to disapprove the
plans both of the late and the present comman-
der-the defensive policy OF one and the San
Juan Of Ulloa attack Of the other--and this be-
ing known, my presence would operate as an
implied censure on the two generals, and might
make me, in spite Of myself, the Nucleus of
discomfort and INSTRUMENTATION. The command
OF the army, therefore, is the only military po-
sition which could hold in ii.
Authority to conclude peace, or at least to
sign the preliminaries of peace, I deem highly
essential to success, as 1t would enable the
commander-in- chief to take instant advantage
of all passing events, military or political, to
close the war.
Furnished with these powers, am willing TO
make the sacrifice, and to incur the response
bilities of the high command but leave it to
you, sir, for your free and final decision; con-
sldering it as a national question, and new
one, on which there is no commitment, on eth
er side, on any thing that has passed.
Whatever may be the decision, my thanks
aud gratitude will not be the lees due to you for
your unsolicited nomination Of me to this high
appointment, nor to the Senate for its instant
and unanimous confirmation of it, nor to the
House of Representatives for its three times
virtual election Of me to be the commander-in- |
chief ofthe army in Mexico.
Respectfully, sir, your friend, 81 I
And fellow-citizen,
THOMAS II. BENTON.

From the New Orleans Rcaytlne.
Latest from Tampic0.
REPUBLICAN ARMY, 7
Headquarters in San Salvador,

The schooner Home, Capt. Kenny, arrived
early this morning from Tampico, having left
there on the 9th inst She went outside the
bar day or two earl err, but brings our letters
to the morning of the 7th.
The news Of the retreat Of Gen. Taylor rests
entirely upon Mexican reports Tsmpico has
been overrun with reports Of all kinds in re-
gard to a collision between the forces Of Santa
Anna and General Taylor. Mr.. Kendall in the
several brief letters from which we publish,
scans these rumors. In the postscript to his
letter of the 6th-the postscript being written
on the morning Of the 7th--he announces tina
Gen. Taylor has fallen back, and without any
action, in SO confident manner that we place
great reliance upon his news.
The Mexican papers, however, say that San
ia Anna had cut off his retreat by interposing
the forces Of Gen. Minon and Torrejon.
Mr.. Kendall, writing from Tampco under
date of the 9th, says-A
Iii. said that a esdhers this NOR
ming from the cia Ihe effect that
pronuncisu Indcd BY the
clergy, had tarias, me
Vice President, u d; that an edi-
tor Of one Of the ps| been placed in his
stead, and that the obiecu Of the revolution
has been carried gu in every particular Con-
sidering the power Of the clergy and their well
known hostility to Gomez Faras, there is some
reason in this.
The Mexican army is reported to be suffer-
ing to an incredible extent, not only for cloth
ing, but for the absolute necessities OF life. In
the meantime agents are riding through the
exacting contributions in every town.
At Altamira, only few days since, $500 was
-aiscd in this way.
BY the looks and actions Of the Mexican
know that there can bo no truth
n the report that Santa Anna has beaten Gen.
Taylor in a pitched battle; on the contrary,
heir whole appearance would, il any thing,
Indicate the reverse. Good news shows too
plainly in the faces of these people to be mis-
AIKEN.
