In the history published in the New Orleans
papers Of the ptogtess and events OF Col. Doni'
phan's expedition In New Mexico, an account
s given of the buriai Indians, which is inter
estlng to the curious. These sumoi live in
city containing, probably. six thousand inhabi.
tants, who support themselves entirely by agri.
culture. ... -
The city ls one Of the most extraordinary in
,he world. Il ia divided into four sol ID squares
having but two streets crossing its centre AZ
rights. All the buildings are two-story high,
composed ofsun.burht brick. The first story
presents solid wall to the street, and is so con
struc,ed that each house joins, until one fourth
Of the city may be said to be one building
The second stories rise from this vast solid
structure. so as TO designate each houses leaving
room To walk upon the roof OF the first story be-
| tween eacs, building. The nhatitan,, OF Sn.
mai enter the secoud story of their buildings
by ladders, which they draw npat n'gh't as
defence against any enemy that might be Prov
| ling about Liza. ..-
! IN this city were seen some thirty Albho
| Indians who have, no doubt, given rise To the
story that there is living in the Rocky Noun
tains tribe of white atorisiiirr. The discovery
OF this city of the sumai will afford the rnus, GU
rous specula,ous among those who have st
long searched in vain for city OF lndians WHIT
possessed the manners and habits OF the Aztecs
No doubt, we have here a race living as d,'
that people when Cottez entered Mexico. l
is remarkable fact. that the Sumsians hav'
no intercourse with the modern Meacans
looking upon them as an inferior people. the.
have also driven tro,n smong them the prizes,
and other digui,aries, who formerly had Powe
over them, and resumed habits and manners {
their own their Great Chief or Governor b
ing the civil and religious head. The eour
try round the city of Sunni is cultivated with
/ great deal Of care. and affords food no, only 4
the inhabitants, but io' large hochs 0 cattle an
