writing fiom Santa Fe on the 9Th Of January,
says:
Major NJ. Lewis Clarke leaves this morning.
with six peices Of artillery and one hundred and
twenty men. to march 70 the support Of Col
Doniphan. He will probably be able to reach
e. Peso BY the 22d iust, which msy pos-ibly
be too late to aid in the taking Of the place,
Whist Col D's future movements are to be, we
are not positively informed. IA. n. -.
When joined by Major Clarke, his force will
conss, OF sbou, a thousand men, with which
force il would seem to be an act Of temeri,y TO
march on Chihuahus, though it is rumored that
such is Col D's intention.
We regret to lose from our city Capt Weight.
mans company Of artillery. which leaves this
morning., The whole battalion OF Major Clark,
officers aud men, are decided bvorites Of the
community here, in consequence Of their stric,
discipline. uDd invariably genlemanly conduct.
I consider them as efficient corps - can BE-
found in the army. ,a ,.F,

were ell arrested in Chibnahua, and held as pri.
soners Of war. They succeeded. however, in
efeciing their escape from custody, end sttemp-
ed to make their way In the United STATES in
the direction of Texas. Il Seems. however, that

in pursuit and found, ss they said. their guns
and mules. but could not end the men. ], is
thought that the Mexicsns killed every man
