dar Springs.
Mr.. White on his trip in, experienced
considerable severe weather but upon the
wholefhe trip was as pleasant as could be
expected at this season of the year.
But few Indians were seen upon the
plains except Kansas, Osages, &C., who
appeared perfectly friendly.
The news in regard 10 trade, &c., is Of
but little importance, furtheV than all kinds
of goods were selling atTeduced rates, and
large supply on hand.
Mr.. White brought in $58, 900 in gold
and silver coin and bullion.
We give below few items of news
from the Santa Fe Republican, Of the 18Th
ult:
A census of New Mexico has been Ia
ken, from which it appears that the pop
ulation Of the serritory-not including the
country of Valeneia--is 81, ,226 Of which
%. .l5l are elassed as whites, and 4,057 as
Indians.
Serg. Camp, (Co. l, Isi U. S. Drag
oons, was murdered on the 10Th ult., in
Santa Fe, but the murderer passed unde.
leesed.
At fsndango on Sunday evening, the

Mexican BY The name of Valencia, in a
quarrel. in which knives were freely used.

commandan. Of New Mexico, arrived at
Saturday morning visitor., 1848-12-02

Santa Fe on the 10Th uIt., from Monterey,
by way Of chihuahua. He was we'll re-
ceived. Col. Washington left Monterey,
in July last, with a command, part Of
which, was destined for California. They
pursued their march without molestation,
and, indeed, receiving the hospitality Of
the Mexicans, until their arrival al Chi
huahua; where, after making all neces-
sary arrangements, the command, on the
4ih Of September, separated, Col. Wash
ington pursuing his route to Santa Fe;
and Maj. Graham assuming the command
of The California expedition. He had
with him two companies Of the I'd Drag
oons, and two Companies Of the lst, under
the command of Capt. Rucker. The dis
tance which they had 10 march is sci down
at 1900 miles. The distance from Chi
huahua 10 Santa Fe Is stated 1900 miles,
and the average march per day TO Chlhua-
hua is set downat 20 miles, and thence TO
Santa Fe II l-2 miles.
The Republican contains the proceedings
OF Convention OF delegates Of the peo-
pie Of New Mexico, "lo form conslitu-
tion, and apply 10 Congress for State or
Territorial Government, and TO do such
other acts as to them my seem for the in
terest of the people," A majority of the
convention were Mexicans. Antoine Jose
Martie, Of Taos, was elected President,
and ]. NJ. Giddings, Secretary, and the
business Of the convention vas transacted
mainly through an interpreter.
The only official act of this body was
the adoption of Petition, on behalf of the
people of New Mexico, to the Congress
of the United States in which they ask
for the speedy organization of Terrific
rial Civil Government for New Mexico.
They represent that the organic and
statute laws promulgated by the authority
Of the United States, Sept. 22d, 1876,
with some few alterations, would be de-
sirable tothem. That they desire The ap-
pointment of Governor, Secretary of the
Territory, United States Marshall, Dis
trict Attorney and Judges, and all the IL
sual right of appeal from The Territorial
Courts tothe Supreme Court Of the Uni
ted States. They "respectiully, but firm
ly protest against the dismemberment of
our Territory, in favor of Texas, or for
any cause. They furthermore say We
do not desire to hare domestic Slavery with-
in our borders, and until the time shall ar
rive for our admission into the Union, IRE
desire TO be protected by Congress against
their introduction amongst us. A local
Legislature is asked for, and that their in
ierests may be represented by Delegate
in Congress.
On motion of Mr.. Quinn, il was
ResoIrsd, That the petition of the peo-
pie Of New Mexico in Convention assem-
bled. 10 the Congress of the United States,

gle man who would not be willing to pay
three times the amount Of tax he now
pays, 10 have certain outlet for his pro-
duce--and | am in hopes our present mem
bers to the Legislature will do something
20 place us nearer upon an equality with
other portions of the world than we now
are. Ms &
Look at our country now, and you will
see by riding over it, empty houses and
small fields that have been commenced and
left--and the census Of the present year
does not show such an increase as il should
do, considering the advantages we have Of
good land, good water, and timber suffi-
cient for all our purposes. We have min
erals Of various kinds--irOn, lead, copper
and zince, particularly lead, which can be
got by small amount of labor, compara-
lively speaking, to the profit that may be
expected TO be obtained. There is mine
now opening near this place, which has
paid all expenses from the beginning, and
the prospect is good--(so say the miners,
to strike large body of it before they go
much farther into the rock. They have
now a considerable amount raised, and
have only gone about five or six feet down
in the rock. The lead appears 10 lay in
a body of flint and tiff, about three feet
thick, running horizontal in the hill, and
il has been traced for mile and more, in
every ravine that crosses the course from
the beginning. Itappears TO run all east
and west course up Crane creek, and it
has been found on both sides Of the creek
in several places--and / have little doubt
but il will be found in large quantities be-
fore great while. There are several o.
ther places in this county, where it has
been found and worked partially, but there
never has been fair trial made at il vet,
but when il is done, have no doubt il
will increase the value Of the lands in this
part of the world more than any thing
else--except the building of the Railroad
from Lexington or Independence TO New
Madrid. Our State must wake up and
do something for herself or else all the
other States will be so far ahead of us that
we can't begin 10 show our faces among
them. We can well afford for our Legis-
lature TO make an appropriation Of one or
two millions Of dollars, and the people
will pay the additional tax willingly, if it
is necessary-for there are at this time
thousands OF barrels Of corn that cannot
be sold for any price, nor is there any out
let for it 10 market, unless it is a few
months in the spring that is gener-
ally after every other section Of country
has sent in theirs, and Of course our far
mers get less price than others, in con-
sequence of being the last in market.
Not being in the habit of expressing
my thoughts on paper, | am afraid it will
be but bad beginning, but should you
think enough of this communication to
publish it, you may hear from me again
before long. Yours, sc.

Satisfied .Ambifion. n.--Senator Borland,
inhis late reply TO the challenge Of the
Hon. T. B. FlournOy, at Little Rock, said
that he was sufficiently shot at in the
war with Mexico to satisfy the ambition
,'of any man." as
ia very sensible reply from Sena-
tor Borland, and much stronger exhibit
ii0n Of true courage than We see put for
ward by our public men, now a-days.-
He might very truly have replied in The
language of the anecdole which we pub
lished the other day, that "any fool could
give challenge, but it takes two TO fight
duel" In thus refusing to make fool
of himself, he has given the best evidence
that he is a man Of genuine courage.
