Later from Santa Fe.

Several gentlemen of the army-among them,
Capt. Sykes, Sd Infantry, Lieuts. Plympton and
TylOr, Infantry, Capt Allen, Artillery, and DIR.
Edwards-with Mr.. II. II. Mckinney, left Santa
Fe on the 10th July, and part Of them arrived
at st. Louis on the 18th inst. The Republican
gathers from Mr. Mckinney the following III
formation
The election under the State constitution of
New Mexico took place on the Goth June, and
resulted in the choice of Dr. Henry Connolly for
Governor of that State, over Tomas Cabeza de
Baca; Manuel Alvarez, Lieut.. Governor, beat
ing his opponent, c. st. Vrain and Willium S.
Messervy, Representative in Congress, by a
majority of some 500 votes over Hugh NJ Smith,
who has been for some months knocking at the
hall door Of the House rs Delegate from New
Mexico. At the same time that these elections
were made, an election for members Of the Le-
gislature was also held. This body convened at
the time appointed in the constitution and some
curious scenes We're enacted.
AS is generally known, New Mexico has been
divided into two parties-one of them advocat-
ing territorial, the other a State government.
A member of the Senate, by the name of
Montaya, from the county of Santana, presented
his credentials and was admitted; but it was
found out soon after that he might not be dis
posed to vote with the majority, and he was ex-
cluded from his seat and one of his opponents
was voted into his place. Hereupon, six Sen
ators and Representatives withdrew, and left
the Senate without quorum to do business
But this difficulty was overcome in manner
peculiar to New Mexican legislation The re-
naming mem bers proceeded to fill the places Of
sufficient number TO make the business of
legislation legal, and they proceeded in the per-
formance of their official duties. They elected
Major r. II. Weightman, late Paymaster u. s.
Army, and Major T.. A. Cunningham, also Pay
master u. s. Army, Senator'S in the Congress of
the United States. At later period, they
preme Court of the State, and f. G. West
Associate Judges Lewis B. Sheets was elected
Secretary of State, J. d. Robinson, Auditor, and
Charles Blumer, State Treasurer.
An election for sherffs and other officers was
ordered for the I'd of August, but it is said there
was some conflict of opinion between Colone
Munroe and the people, in this particular, and
that this election would be prevented.
The Indians still continued their depredations
| in all parts of New Mexico. They attacked the
ranches of Kit Carson and Maxwell, run off all
their stock, and killed Bill New, an old noun
tainecr, buger and private of Company |, lst
Dragons, and a Mexican or Grier barely
escaped with his life They had also run off
the stock from different places in the neighbor-
hood of Taos, during which they killed five
Mexicans. These depredations were committed
by the Jiccarilla Apaches, band of Indians
numbering only about $50 men. The Navaoes
were not idle, and had run off large herds of
sheep from the Pueblo. Large parties of the
Camanches had visited Galisteo San Domingo
and Auton Chico, but they did no damage, and
professcd to be peaceably inclined.

PROPOSED Mass MEETING IN CHEROKEE, Ga
The Rome Southeraer says aOur attention hai
been called to the propriety and expedency o.
holdinga Mass Meeting at some central poin.
in Cherokee, some time towards the close o.
next month. We think the idea a capital one
and will do everything in our power to promote
the assembling Of such meeti"g We werJ
of opinion from the first, that Macon, though d
good point for Middle Georgia, was too remote
from us, and the season unfavorable for our pco,
pls to go below. We had other reasons fo,
desiring the meeting should take place in Chero
kee. Kingston, OH the line Of Railroad has
been suggested as the place, and We suggest
THURSDAY the 26h Of September, as the time
We hope our friends of the press will join Us
heartily in making Il demonstration that Chero
kee is Southern to the core. Let distinguished
men from the whole South be promptly invited
to attend. Let us meet an | take counsel 70,
the preservation of Southern equality, liberty anG
safety, now invaded by an unscrupulous Con

SLAVERY IN CALHoRMA.--A late number
the Federal Union, (Ga,) contains the folio
ing facts in regard to the employment and, pre-
stableness of slave labor In California.
"a friend from Newton county informs 1
that he has just received letter from his broth
now in California, formerly Captain of Col
pany of Texas rangers, which states, that 4.
writer has now with him on the Sacramen'
river, thirty two slaves engaged in digging GO
who have made for him, each on an averae
from 8 Is to $40 per dey, since the 10th day
March last. The negroes are from 40 to
years old. They give him no tronbe nor do,
any one Interfere with them. The letter al.
states, that a majority of the people in Califo
MA who went from the States are 10 favor
slavery, but that the. natives and all other 70
eigners are opposed to the institution"
= The fact that slave labor cannot be protitab
employed in. California is the great argument
those who are ready to give up the right of Il
South to an equal participation in this ri,
and fertile territory. Nothing can be so Fl
from the truth. No country is better calcul
ted for slave labor than California, either
mining operations or agriculture. Is it II
strange that Southern men can be found so vii
ing to give up all right to an equal enjoyment
this golden territory?

Observation-Disclosures ought to know
that churning can be done with any good churn,
in five to fifteen minutes, as well in the winter
as in the summer, by having the temperature Of
the cream right--say sixty to sxty-two degrees
The temperature of an ordinary sitting or living
room in winter to be comfortable, is siyty-6yr
to sixty-eight degrees, and closet opening into
such n room would be the best place to keep
the pot in the winter. In the summer the cream
can be readily reduced to the right temperature.
by breaking up clean ice and putting it into the
churn.
A thermometer, which is necessary to regu
late these matters, costs but one dollar: and
such an investment every farmer ought to max.
who has churning to do, and thus save labor and
time, which is money, aad make this much
dreaded part of farmers wives, and daughters,
much pleasanter ard easier-Ohio Cuitirgtor
