New Mexico.

A long letter from Santa Fe, New Mexico,
dated December q, to the Missouri Republi
can, give anything but a flatterng account of
the condition of things in that Territory In
dian depredations, robberies and murders, of
which long list is given, continue with in
creasing frequency. The writer suggests that
further forces composed of men used to a
mountain life and Indian warfare, are requir-
ed to secure the peace and safety of the white
population. Treaties with the tribe in that re-
gion are worse than useless unless some better
evidence be given of design to inforce them
than heretofore At present such as have been
made, the writer says, are entirely disregar-
ded.
OF the Legislature the letter gives the follow
ing account. 1t speaks admirably for the III
telligence Of the old population of New Mex
leo:
The Legislature which is now in session has
taken up the subject of the manner in which
the Governor has managed our relations with
the Indians. supposing itself invited to do so
by recommendation in the message. 1t has
been suggested that he will veto the rcsolu-
tons proposed to be passed. This, however
is not quite certain. Should he do so, it would
be the first instance of an interruption of the
concert between hmsel: and majority of the
nfis lature. which as hitherto avoided giving
y cause of disp easure. The probabli-
the resolutions will be so modified
as little unpalatable as possible to the

A FIERY TRIAL--The Hon Rufus Choats in
late speech in Boston, referring to the stormy
aspect of the political horizon in Europe,
said:
ut has seemed to me as if the perogatives
of crowns, and the rights of men. and the re-
venses of thousand years, were about to I'M
sheath the sword for a conflict in which the
blood shall flow as in the Apocalyptic vision. to
the brides of the horses, and in which whole
age of men shall pass away-in which the great
bell of time shall round out an other hour in
which society itself shall be tried by fire and
steel-whether it is of nature and of natures
God, or not!''

be made up by drafts enclosed here
with on other counties or the State
Treasurer When you receive the
money on these drafts, either from the
persons on whom they are drawn or
of any one to whom you may trans
fer them, you should be careful to
endorse them officially. If you do not
succeed in collecting them before the
first of March, you should neverthe-
less inclnde the amount in your APP
portionment and collect them so soon
thereafter as possible. The drafts on
the state Treasury may be readily
transferred to the county treasures, or
to persons wishing to use funds at
the Land office in this place, as the
money will be paid in specie. In case
you find it convenient to make such
a transfer, twill simply be necessary
for you to endorse the draft.

selves in whose favor the a1low6HS
was made. The apparent inequsli-
ty between some Of the new and old
counties, is owing to the fact that a
large potion of the 100000 acre grant,
which was selected chiefly in the new
counties, was ordered into market
during the past summer.
There appears to have been mis-
apprehension on the part of many
of the Commissioners in regard to
these allowances las they failed to for
ward them with their annual reports,
| as the law requires. They are neces-
sarily retrospective and prospective.
The first day of October was thought
by the trainers of the law to be the
most convenient period to make them
as it would allow ample time for a
full examination Of the matter by
the Superintendent and the neces-
sary conference between him and
the county officers in regard to alte-
rations, prior to the apportionment
of the interest. The failure of many
of the reports to reach me until very
recently, has entirely precluded a
consultation with the county officers
and rendered the examination less
