EDITORS THE REvEILLE The dreadful fate of Gov
Charles Bent and companions is confined, to the exclu-
sion OF doubt BY the arrival of Mr.. Thomas Caldwell
from FL Paso and Santa Fe. Mr. c. brings US, in add
ton 10 the already given, that of DR. Waldo, from
our county. DR. Waldo was known in st. Louis well
had resided in New Mexico over twelve years but what
are ties professions TO these wrctches3 Twenty-Five
Americans had been killed, far had been ascertain

Bent and they vary essentially from the accounts first
received Bent Killed not at daybreak but in broad
monday at an assembage of the people to whom he had
just read new law As he assembled the platform a
rush was made; his murder immediate, and forth
with the wretches ran, yelling, to kill all the Americans
whom they could discover.
When the sad reached Bents Fort, VIM Bent,
with thirteen men, Immediately started for Taos valley.
Now Tor the vengeance We learn here, from Mr..
CALDWELL that after Their success in the valley, the muir
derers augmentlng their swarm to two thousand,
marched in triumph for Santa Fe to cut the threats of
all Americans. When within twenty-five miles of the
town. Capt Jesse NORM OF Platte county, at the head of
300 OF Prices men, met the rufans presented steady
'front.' In spite of their threats and numbers, and at the
proper moment checked their advance by deadly dis
charge OF rifles II is said that the panic lnstant
neous thirysix of them lay dead and the rest dispersed
without an attempt to rally MORN pursued the crowd,
taking fearful vengeance the fugtves, and ravagng
the Moro valley with fire and sword The scattered muir
derers are IN the mountains, and there they may as
well remain as return to their blackened baunts:
The victory is sa1dened by the death of Capt Hendy Of
Ray county noble fellow. Half dozen were wound
ed among boys The vengeance did not step at Mo-

hrst and slaked in blood afterwards-the only way TO
teach these wretches lesson Something of this kind
has probably taken place. as Mr. Caldwell on his route
through the Mexican settlements heard the sound OF dis
tant artillery, and the that MORN was still
pursuing the enemy.
Mr. Caldwell on the 10Th of January, left Col Doni-
phan still al FL Paso, waiting for the artillery, when he
would move on Chihuahua. The anxiety is, whether
