Santa Fe, dated at Independence. JAM -, we find
in the st. Louis Republican of the 22d ult:-
This morning the Santa Fe mail reached here,
bringing but little additional news from that Of last

The Legislature of New Mexico was in session,
following out the recommendations of the Governor,
and apparently doing some good for the country.
Governor Lanes course is becoming very popular,
and he will do much for that country, il not removed
by tho incoming administration.
A little disturbance that at one time threatened
the peace of the territory, sprang up between the
civil and military authorities. At the request Of
Gov. Lane, Col Brooke, the commander Of the post
Of Santa Fe hoisted the flag in the plaza while the
Legislature was in session, that had been removed
by Colonel Summers order; in consequence of which
he was removed and the flag taken down. The citi-
zens soon had another ready, but in their haste it
happened to consist of three colors red white and
blue. This was ordered down by the military, and
down it came. Some stars were added, and it was
run up again. So it foatsthe civil authorities con-
trolling. -
The Southern mail had not reached Santa Fe,
when this one left.
Craddock & Lucas were attacked and robbed Of a
wagon load Of merchandise near Fort Fillmore, by
ONE Mexicans, dressed as Apaches.

SO that the world might not lose the many points
which shine in glowing and glaring colors on such
occasions OF public jubilee-the black, white, mulat-

man-all, all were mixed up in one common mass.
And then again, we were gratifed with great
masquerade" most sublimely imposing, as you may
well imagine, particularly on the second day,
when the Germans were caricatured in the
most ridiculous and absurd manner. much to
the chagrin of the noble, dgnifeda and high
ly intelligent Germans residing in this city. We
sympathize deeply with these gentlemen in their mis-
fortunes, but hope that their gentemanly conduct
will insure them in future against such attacks.

The committee appointed to organize company
to construct the Oswego, Rome and WATERFOWL Rail

advantage of consolidation.

movement in any staple article of Export and as it
is the very height of the importing season, we must

1t appears by this comparative statement that the
coinage has been close mp to the deposit each year.
The coming capacity Of the Philadelphia Mint is
equal to deposits to any extent 1t will be seen that
less than one twentieth Of the number of pieces
coined, comprised more than four-ths of the aggre.
