ANOTHER New TERRIroRY.-A bill has
passed Congress for the organization of a
new territory to be called Minnesota. The

which flows through it. 1t lies west of
Lake Superior, and in high northern
latitude.

LATEST FROM SANTA FE.

Confirmation of the Assassination Of Gou
Bent--death of Mr.. Pitcher, Of this place.
The editors of the metropolitan" saw
and conversed with Mr. Miller, of La
faye,te, on Monday last, who is just in from
Santa Fe, which place he left on the 18th
January. James Brown, of Pettis county,
came as far as Cottonwood Grove with MIR.
Miller, where he stopped TO recruit his
mules. He informed them one of Browns
company, Mr.. Pitcher, of this place, died
on the road in. Beverly Pitcher, .jr., is the
only person Of that name who left this
place.
MIR. Miller brings news confirming the
report of the murder of Gov Bent, Gen
Elliott Lee Of st. Louis, and Stephen T.
Lee, sheriff of Taos. A number of others
supposed TO be fifteen in all, had been
murdered at Taos. Mr.. M. reports Gen
Donip han still at FL passo with about 900
men (where the artillery company joins
him) and about 800 traders, in all about
1900 men, and with this force he intended
going on to chihuahua, and will in all
probability do so unless he hears that Cen
Wool had gone another direction. Capt
Murphy with Government funds was met at
the Moro, eighty miles this side Of Santa
Fe, and had sent for an escort of 100 men
to 90 on with him.
MIR. Suble,t was met 25 miles beyond
BentS Fort, and was going without diff
Guilty, his mules in fine order.
News of the whereabouts Of Gen. Wool
had not been received at Santa Fe on the
18th; and they did not, in all probability
hear any thing Of him until Mr.. Subclt
reached there.
Mr.. Miller thinks that just as soon as
Col. Price receives the information, he
will send an express to Col. Doniphan
which will, in all probability, induce him 10
change his determination and remain at E
Passo, or return TO Santa Fe. At Ell Passc
Col. d. found in the post Office letter
from the Governor of chihuahua, to some
officer there, informing him that Gen
Wool was advancing on chihuahua with
270O men, and would probably soon have
possession of the city. This was supposed
to be good authority that Gen. Wool was
in the neighborhood, tho it is now feared
that it was only hoax intended 10 de
ceive and lead on an insufficient force &c
chihuahua.
Mr.. Miller thinks COL D. 8 force altogeth
err insufficient TO go to Chihuahua or stay
at Ell Passo, but fears that from their success
on the 25,h December, and the little diff
Guilty at Ell Passo, they will be disposed to
push on.
Mr.. McGuffin had made an Intellectual
attempt to escape from prison. A new
trial had been granted him, but it was sup
posed he would be again convicted and
finally shot. MFR. Miller had a difficult
time in getting in, though he lost none of
his company. lie heard of four men who
had frozen to death.

Boonville. We have received ne or two
eastern mails in that direction, but under
stand the contractors of the daily line from
ST. Louis to BoonviI!o, refuse to let the
mails for this place be conveyed on their

may be looked for. We sec that Mr..
Winner, the ST. Louis post master, is some
where in this section making arrangements
for the transportation Of the mails until
the contracts are let anew. We suppose
he is at Fulton, and will doubtless make
some arrangements by which we will ge,

confer an especial favor on the citizens of
this place and vicinity, if he would arrange
with Frost, Price 81 Co, for the mails for
this office 10 come By their line 10 Boon

early and regularly as under the old ar
