er5- The Richmond correspondent Of the Peters
burg In,elligencer gives the following sketch OF
prominent member Of the Convention:
Mr.. Ferguson, during the three Legislative win
ters that have watched his course, has been one
Of the peculiar partisans whose course was ever
reprehensible; bat as to the natural vIgor OF his
mind and Saxon quIckness of parts there can be no
dnb,. indeed there are few such intellects in his
party. But unfortunately, his mind tarexceeds his
manners. He has no address, very little apprecia-
ton of the courtesies which ordinarily obtain in de-
Lucrative bodies and shows IN the discussion OF ev-
ety question in which he engages the roughness OF
he hear. He read law whilst engaged in shoema-
king in Logan county. and the first inrimation that
his neighhors had of the fact, was the procurement
OF his license. This by the aid of a fine memory,
he did in short time 1t always gives me pleas
ure to commend such energy and to appreciate such
capacity; but it is deserving of little admiration
where found continually interviewer with Dema-
goguery aud Jacobusm.

Among the passengers in the Kansas, from the
Missouri, yesterday, were several Mexican mer-
chants, on visit to the States to purchase goods.
We annex their names: Narciso Santicstebeau,
Juan Nepomaseno, Guteres, Juan MaBaca, Simon
Galligres, Guiseto Baca, Jose Ma Martinez, Jose
Salazar, Y. Otero. These gentlemen left Santa Fe
about the first of May.
Our friend, MIR. F. x. Aubrey, was also pas
map of New Mexico, which is to be forwarded to
Washington city.
From advices received by the last mail, we learn
that fifteen companies of United States troops,
der command Of Colonel Monroe, were to leave
New Mexico on the 10th May, upon a campaign
against the Navajo Indians. Major Graham was
to have the command of the drqgoons. Lieutenant
John Buford had been appointed quartermaster.
This military movement, If Il should have no other
effect will servo to give activity and energy to the
finemcnt to which they have been doomed.
An extra from the Gazette Office, dated the Goth
ult, contains few items OF news.
The census of the Territory, taken by direction
of Governor Calhoun. presents this result: Entire
population, st, 9S4-In01Rns excepted. To ratio
OF representation for the country il fixed Tor tho
Council at 1884; for the House, 2,l72.
The list of appointments for New Mexico, made
at the close of the last Congress- had been received
by mail, and they were looking for their early ar
rival The judges, 1t was supposed, would arrive
in time to hold the regular terms of the ensuing
courts.
public meeting was held at Santa Fe on the
evening Of the 25th to nominate candidates for the
Legislature.
Gov Calhoun, on the 23d April, issued his pro-
clamaton for an election of members of the Legis-
lative Assembly. apportioning the number Of
