SANTA FE.-By the way of st. Louis we learn
that Col. Washington's command was about a
days march from Santa Fe on the llth ult. Mr..
Charles J. Asbury, of johnson county, was killed,
supposed to be by the Apache Indians, about
twenty-five miles this side of Ell Paso He was re-
turning from that place to meet his wagons, which
he had left fs~ days before. As he had not been
seen, search was made, and after some days, his
body was found, with the body of Mexican SER
want, who had accompanied him. From the
wounds upon the bodies, it was supposed that they
had been shot from some concealed point in the
chaparral, on the roadside. The indians are max
ing incursions into every neighborhood, as they
have complete control of the country, and the with
drawaI Of the United States troops has given en-
couragement and confidence to them. The pros
poets Of trade, and the sale Of merchandise in
Chihuahua, were fattering

CoNsTAETINoPLE.-Th late destructive fires in
this capital have at length aroused the attention of
the Government to the necessity Of constructing
the houses of some more durable substance than
wood The building Of any more wooden houses
is strictly forbidden. The Government had an idea
of ordering them all to be rebuilt of stone brick
but this was found to be too expensive. 1t is now
in contemplation to build them Of ath and plaster,
to be coated with species of cement, which, when

TExAs-Death Of Gen. Baker.-The Galveston
News learns from private letter from Houston
that Gen. MoseIy Baker died the 4th inst, after
very short illness. The letter does not state the
nature of his disease. 60 We have only time to
say" says the News, that in his death Texas has
lost one of her oldest and most eminent citizens.
Gen. Baker has been a man of great activity and
enterprise through life He participated largely in
the war Of our revolution, and believe all have
conceded to him the reputation Of brave soldier,
an able officer and true PATROL"

The WEATHER weather for the past few
days has been perfectly delicious Yesterday the
air was as mild and bamy as lift were May instead
of November. We cannot expect, however, that
this temperature will continue long. Winter is fast
approaching, in fact it is almost here, and over
coats and cloaks will soon be IN demand. 1t is
reasonable tosuppose from the amount Of bets which
have been made upon the election, that one portion
of the community will obtain those necessary arti-

HORRIBLE MURDERs.-We learn from the Bran
don (Miss.) Republican that on the evening of the
LIST inst, horrible and brutal murder was COM
mitted on the railroad near Petries MILL in Kinds
county, on two men by the names of Blake and
Atway, by Mr.. Hughes. The circumstances are
as follow: Hughes was contractor on the rail-
road, and had employed Blake and Atway to work
for him. For some provocation unknown, they
took Hughes up, and after stripping and tying him,
dashed him severely. After satisfying themselves in
this manner, they left Hughes the spot, as they
supposed, dead. Hughes, however, soon recovered,
and, smarting under the lash, procured an axe went
to their lodgings, and murdered them both in their
sleep. Hughes is now in the custody of the proper
officers, and has confessed the bloody deed.
