The Picayune Of the llth, publishes some
items Of interest, CLEANED from private letters
received BY the last arrival from the Brazos.
The American troops sent from Santa Fe to
take possession OF Chihuahua were encamped
At FL Passo the 18th of December, and were
expected to move thence about the first OF
January. The long delay at Ell Posso suggest
cd 10 the Mexicans the idea of attacking them
they have now considerable force and 3 pieces
Of cannon, and should our troops continue
their march they will. probably (says the Pi-
cayune) have a second edition of the battle n,
Sacrimento.
Two members of Capt Mear's company of
mounted volunteers have been executed-one
the latter part Of December, for several at
tempts upon his Captains life-another. on the
10th ult', for shooting a Mexican. The former
was shot, the latter, who was known bv tbe
name Of Neuson, was hung. He died a Gath
Ole and the Mexican priests buried him with
the ceremonies of the church. His execution
was rendered doubly horrible from the fact
FAN ANSA
that he was, at the time, in a state of beastIy
intoxication.
The Plcayune says that Col. Ward. and a
small party Of abouta dozen, who started from
General WOol's column for Santa Fe, a few
months since, have been captured BY the Nex.
leans AT the Preside del Norte thew were
kindly received by a Mexican padre, who pre-
pared a dinner for them at one end of n LARGE
"satn," their arms beingdeposited at tie Other.
While thus engaged, a party Of Mexicans.
rushed IN and took them prisoners. Thew we're

they still remained at last accounts nsouire

about 81 years Of age. He was quite iii, and
some Of the foreigners in the place offered to
become his security but the Mexicans refused

sENArR2On motion the Senate laid aside all
further business, and proceeded to the consid-
eralion Of the Ten Regiment Bill,
Mr. Bell resumed his remarks, He charged
that from the conduct of the administration he
did not believe that they either expected or
desired to conclude treaty with the existing
Government OF Mexico.
MIR. Jefferson Davis rose and explained that
he would be satisfied with a treaty that would
give to the United States the Sierra Madre as
the boundary, He prayed to God that such d
treaty might be made before the Senator should
have concluded his speech.
Mr.. Bel responded, that he prayed 10 God
such might be the case, but he despaired Of
such a result, as he could not regard the views
Of the Hon. Senator Jefferson Davis) as the
views of the administration in this matter, nor
as the views of the supporters ofthe President,
unless they had changed them recently. He
then proceeded to point out the obstacles that
must first be encountered in forming a Govern
ment in the territory that might be acquired.
