 We are indebted so the St. Louis RevetIle for an extra of the 0sh inst, giving the foI- lowing melancholy intelligence, received nI a l.ster from Independence, dated March l., lS47. h IS as follows

They bring very bad news 4 few days on ttieir Journey ttIey wcrr over- taken by Lucien Maxwell and another who had just made their escape from Taos, and who reported tha, rising of the rabbse had taken place there undoubtedly branch of the recent conspiracy-aud that Gov.

 Gov. Bent was on visitto large farm of his in the neighborhood where he was at- tackled, The insurgents had aIso attacked Mr Turley at his dlsllllery. Mr. T. made a gallant defence with his e'ghs men, and had kent of the murdeFers so far, bul his fate, eventually. remains to be told An express had been sent 10 Santa Fe, but Mr. Miller rr- ports there were not more than 400 efficient men with Price. and that the fort tMarcy north ofIhe town, was not vet n condition to receive garrison tor peotraeted stay The guns, moreover. would have 10 be mounted, ss they were sull in the town.

 95- The Independence Expositor gives the following account:
 Messrs. Harris. Miller, and others have just arrived from Santa Fe, bringing intelIi- geuce that an outbreak had taken place at Taos; that Charles Bent, Governor of Santa Fe, was at Taos, where it took place, anJ was killed by the insurreciionists; also. c ea Lee and brother, together with Mr. Turley, as well as many other Americans. Tlis company of some six men left Sania Fe on the l3h of January, and learned the inteIli- gence which they bring ia regard to the matter from an express seat from the AIcalde ol Taos to the Alcalde al Los Vegas, giving the foregoing information, which is eonsid- cred by our in(ornants as worthy of credi- hility. The impression by them is, that, if Col. Price is not upon his guard, similar revelation will take place at tbecity Of Santa Fe, and probably Col Dooiphan and his valiant lntIe band, laboring under he im- pression that Gen. Wool has taken Chihua- bua. may he led Into snare fl om which their courage and prowess cannot extricale them
