New MEXICo.-Ihe New York Tri-
bune has letter, dated Santa Fe, March
the goth, from which we extract as fol-
lows:
"The appointment of Calhoun Cover
nor OF New Mexico) has been very ac-
ceptable to the country. He is good,
easy going Southerner. rather too credu-
lous. He takes great interest in the
poor Indians under his charge. These
Indians (Pueblos) are the best people III
this country, and could be depended upon
in case of any outbreak among the dirty,
lying, Mexicans. The meeting of the
Legislature is looked forward TO with
great interest, as many reforms are called
for here.
This city is dreadful place for cutting
and shooting. Another murder was COM
mi,ted last night, the name OF the victim
is McCau. He was stabbed by Dutch
man in the side, when leaving fandango.
As | said before, every man can do as he
pleases here. there being no police. Men
get drunk here, get pistol go firing
about the street or whooping and yelling
like madmet,, and l believe for nothing
else but to show their worst passions.
and what they would be in the States if
it was not for the stringent laws that ex-
ist there.
We are in the habit of receiving daily
reports of Indian depredations in the
country. The Navajos have become very
bold aad mschievous, and have raE of
with an immense number of cattle and
mules. A number of troops will leave
here about the first of May tor the Nav
ajo country, in order to bring these PEG
pie TO their senses. The Apaches are
also said to have committed some depre-
dations, but the last accounts were that
thew had assisted The Mexicans in recov-
ering 100 head of stock. and as token
of their earnest killed one Navajo. 1t
is very hard TO believe the Mexicans.-
As regards the military in this country,
think that too often great injustice is
done them. There is not a day passes
but some news comes in of Iadian depre-
dations.
News has just come in from San
Miguel, that Mr.. Latz, merchant there,
who went to the Apaches after Mrs.
Whites child, had been taken prisoner
by those Indians. Whether true or not
| cannot say.
The candidates for the the Legislature
and Congress are already in the field =
Captain Reynolds. Quartermaster here, is
a candidate for Congress, like most popu-
lar men, has great many enemies, but
if ever there lived an honest hearted,
benevolent being. Captain Reynolds is
one. He is a rich man, but not an arls-
toc:at, and is consequently not quite pop
ular among the hyperion. Connolly,
