about ten O'Clock, says the ST. Louis Republi-
can of the 9th instant, from the Missouri river.
From our correspondent at Independence, we
have received letter, giving pretty full details
Of all the news brought by Mr.. Aubry, who
had just returned from Santa Fe. II will be
seen, that he brings intelligence of the murder
Of one Of the best citizens of our State. We
annex his letter:
IspEPEHDENcE, Sept. |, l847.
The arrival of Mr.. Aubry, direct from Santa
Fe, puts into my hands some news that will
be interesting to your readers, and which
hasten to communicate. MIR. Aubry left Santa
Fe on the 2Slh Of July, accompanied by Mr..
Barnum, Of Baltimore, (direct from Chihua-
hua9 Capt. McKinney's company Of volun
teers from Monroe county, and train of sixty
five Uniled States wagons, under the charge
Of Mr.. King.
Through Mr.. Barnum, Mr.. Aubry has news
from Chihuahua to the Sd of July. On the
23d Of June, Mr.. James Aull, the partner Of
the late Colonel s. G. Owens, in an extensive
mercantile business. was killed by four Mexi-
cans. They entered his store at Chihuahua,
killed him. and took away 5000. The au.
thorities of the city, and the friends of the
deceased, Immediately had three of the MUIR
derers arrested, and put in prison, to await
their trial. MIR. Aull's death was not occa-
stoned by any rising of the mob, but chiefly
Tor plumber. Mr.. Aull is gentleman well
known in this community, and highly respect
ed. His death has spread gloom and conster-
nation over every one, and more particularly
at this crisis, in the mids, of large commercial
transactions, and so soon after the death of
Colonel Owens.
1.-THE persons and property Of American citi
zens generally, were respected al chihuahua,
though none were permitted to leave the city
except neutrals, who could bring away their
means by paying duty of = per cent. Mr..
Barnum obtained his passport by pretending
10 be an Irishman.
Gov Armijo, on his way to Albuquerque,
to visit his family, was arrested at chihuahua,
and kept within the limits of that city. He is
said to have expressed great satisfaction at the
result Of the battle of Sacramento.
No merchandise of any description was
suffered 10 come into New Mexico by the
southern route.
In New Mexico, the territorial election was
TO have taken place on the LIST or Cd Monday
of August. Consul Alvarez, Capt. Angney,
and Mr.. Kirkland, Of ST. Louis, were candi.
dates for the Legislature.
The murderers Of Brewn and others, were
on trial, and seven Of them would certainly be
convicted
Colonel Wilock's battalion of volunteers,
their time having expired, were ordered TO
leave Taos and return to Santa Fe. Twenty
five citizens remained, and were determined
to erect Notifications for their defence. A large
number Of the women of Taos had determined
to follow our army, and not TO return 10 their
homes until their husbands would consent to
become friendly TO the United States.
An instruction had, short time previous,
commenced, but it was nipped in the bud,
and the leaders, terrified at the numbers sent
out in opposition to them, fled precpitately to
the mountains. a#
