FROM THE MISSOURI REPUBLICAN OF SEPT, Z.
The only received by the Western mail yesterday, in
addition to what published in the morning, contained
the following letter from Santa Fe the editor of the In
dependence Exposor. The picture which this writer pre-
Of the condition Of things at Santa Fe is very flat
erng State pride the military discipline at that post
But have sort of doubt that is overdrawn nay,
that il is the letter. We have been assured indeed,
by persons who passed the winter Santa Fe that all mill
ry discipline, all regard for propcy, lost by the reg
under the immediate command Of Col Price, II
not restricted by any order Of the
Colonel officers of his regiment dealing Monte at the
gambling bells of Santa Fe and the prpaS Of their compa-
nies betting their money the turn of the card But this
insist much the fault Of the subodnaes
Col Price, who ought have prohibited by the gor-
examples, total disregard Of all military discipline,
the end of which in the picture drawn by the writer
of the letter from Santa Fc full inquiry ought to be
by which such deep disgrace has been brought
upon the country.

WASHINGTON MoNUMENT.-Mr. WHITTLEsEY,
the General Agent has received letter, we under
stand, from Mr. FEM, at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania,
giving the gratifying intelligence that the subscrip-
tions have commenced very favorably for the Wash
ington Monument in the metropolis of the keystone
State.
We are gratifed to learn further, that gentlemen
of distinction in several of the States have offered
their services to promote the object of the associa-
ton, and in some instances without any other re-
ward than the consciousness of having voluntarily
and gratuitously contributed portion of their time
and means towards commemorating in marble the
virtue, wisdom, and patriotism Of the Father of his
country, whose name is held in veneration by the
friends of liberty throughout the world.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER Is, ls47.

During the suspense in which. every mind of the
least susceptibility is at this moment painfully held
as to the event of the rumored negotiation between
the authorities of the United States and those of
Mexico at the gates of the metropolis of the latter
Power, we have not seen any reason for with
holding from our readers second letter which we
have received from the worthy Farmer of Ma
ryland, whose first letter, published few weeks
ago. must have attracted the attention of every read
er of ours who has any relish for either good sense
or good writing. .-s-----
The author of this letter had not, when he wrote
it, will be perceived, heard Of the latest news
from Mexico. He supposes, what many intelligent
persons besides him yet anticipate, a continuation
Of the war; and, on this hypothesis, he puts, and
for himself answers the question, "hat aoiH Con-
gress do ?''
We cannot answer for Congress nor indeed for
that portion of the two Houses with whom we most
generally accord. We have said, as we believe,
however, that they will not stop the supplies in or
der to stop the war. Ifa majority of both Houses
are of opinion that 1t is time to put end to the
war, we do not doubt that way will be found, in
which the President himself will be glad to coope-
rate, to accomplish that object. If majority shall
be of different way of thinking, then of course they
would not stop the supplies in order to stop the
By supplies it is perhaps proper to explain, ION
account of different construction have put
upon the phrase as used by us,) we mean such pro-
vision of ways and means is necessary to exc
cute existing laws, and fulfil all contracts which
have been made under them.
Though we cannot answer for Congress, nor
even for the Wings in the two Houses, achat they
will do, we feel entire confidence that, if it be not
sooner ended the war will not be suffered to conti-
nue. for the further acquisition of Mexican Terrific
ry. That much, we think, we can promise for
