from which we Gull the following items Of
news:
FoRr Arxixsox ARAspoxEc.- Fort Atkinscu,
situated on Arkansas river, on the Indepen.
dencerou has leon abandoned and the troops
heretofore there stationed hare been removed
TO Walnut creek--a measure, Of which the
Gazette complains bitterly. Z says, that tho
most dangerous portion Of the route lies be-

Mexico, and that this portion, extending over

measure LEFT entirely without protection.
LIEUT. BEAL AND PAxrY.--Lieut. Bcal's
party, on tho way to California, met with an
accident in crossing the Grand river, by the
upsetting Of canoe, containing al the provi.
sions and ammunition Of tho party. They
were compelled to send back to Taos for new
supply, thus OBTAINING Lieut. Beai twenty or
twenty-five days longer than he expected to
be In reaching California. The accident was
owing to the muddy condition Of the valley
bordering on tho river, making the river high
and tho crossing bad.
| TnE NAVAJO lNDIASs.--Mr. Couklin, who
returned from Jamez . few days ago, (the lat.
ter part Of july states that he met, during
his trip, several parties Of Navajos; they Ill
seemed anxious to remain at peace.
/ They stated that their people wcrc co-opcra-
ting with the troops, now in their country, to
arrest the murderer of Martin, and that the
property recently stolen would be given up, =
portion Of It had already been delivered They
had also returned some stock, lately stolen
from the Apachcs.
These acts Of good faith will 20 far to re.
establish tho hope that these Indians will re-.

necessity Of force.
