This splendid establishment, kept by Mp

who could not possibly meet with q bet

Very large and we'll furnished roomsf or

Besides all these enticetaents, the boar

send you some further details of the
recent difficulties in New Mexico, tho
they are not so ample as would like.
On the 9Th of March, there was a
fight between Lient. Beale. in command
of thirty Dragons, and party of il.
carIlla Indians. Six of the lndan> were
killed, and two of the soldiers: four dra
goons were also wounded. The Indians
for the first time were whipped.
On the 26ih of March, the soldiers,
thirty in number, were outdone--G prob.
ably defeated-the dispatch not clear.
On the 30h Of March, Company "l'
of the Dragons sixty in number, under
the command of Lieut.. J. w. Davidson,
met the Apaches, 10 the number of $50
warriors, / 5 miles East of the Seneguil
la, near the foot Of the Mountain, and on
the road from Taos to Santa Fe. The
battle was Sanguinary one. Thirty
five of the troops are reported to have
been killed, and seventeen Wounded
Only eight of the whole number escaped
without being injured. Lieut.. Davidson.
in command, and DR.. Magruder, were
slightly wounded: the first Sergeant was
killed.
The loss on the part of the Indians is
said 10 have been great. Fifty horses
belonging TO the Dragons, all The Colt
reviewers and carblnes, fell into the pos
session Of the Indians.
A large force under command of Col.
Coke. OF the I'd Dragons, were out in
pursuit of the enemy when the mail left,
but il is to be understood that they are
not so easily intimida,ed now, and they
say they are ready TO meet the troops
We fear we shall receive further news
of a similar tenor TO the above.
Twenty men of Major Cartoons com.
pany of Dragons have deserted from Fl
Albuquerque, taking with them 2 horses
apiece, all the Coli revolve:s, and a six
mule team loaded with provisions. They
were headed by the first Sergeant OF the
Company.
The Indians who killed four of their
number, for witchcraft, were being tried

THE DES MONIES COURIER.

" The Burlington, Keokuk and
Fairfield papers have united in call for
a Convention Of all those friendly to
procuring Rail Road grants from Con-
gress, 10 convene al Fairfield on the OH
inst. Since the meeting of the last Leg
islature, several new roads and interests
have sprung up. some OF them with pow
erful influences at work for them at
Washington; and il is understood thai,
these varied interests and their friends
ale SO diverse and divided, pulling one
way and another, that all are in danger
in the grea, struggle, of going by the
board. This being the case il is pro-
posed TO hole Convention and invite all
10 come in and unite upon something
definite, and let 20 all others and pull to-
gether. ....s
While we have very little hope of re-
ceiving any grants for our roads at this
session of Congress, we are pleased
with the suggestion, and hope this, as
well as the adjoining counties, will res
pond to the call handsomely. Let US
all come together la the spirit of COM
promise, and a determination TO bury
forever all minor differences, and unite
all our strength on such roads as are
practicable. and demanded by the wants
of the State, and much may be accom-
plished. 1t is a good omen TO see Bur-
lington and Keoklk uniting in this mat
ter.
Our citizens ough, to move in this mat.

lion, as we are deeply and Immediately

called. Let Wapeilo, then, always first

any other than friendly feelings for them.

leo, and not only has the murder Of Mr..
Gunnison and his men gone unavenged.
but countless depredallons have been
committed on property, and now Two
battles have been fought with the sava-
ges, involving a fearful loss of life on the
part Of the American troops We refer
To The telegraph head for all the informa.
ton We have on this subject. That the
honor OF the country was sustained by
those who were engaged in these battles,
is apparent from the great sacrlnce OF
life which took place, but it is also appa.
rent that the handful of men who could
be summoned TO the protection of the
frontier, was altogether inadequate for
that purpose. Lieut.. Davidson, cool
and experienced officer, at the head of
some sixty men--all the efficient force
that he could fnd a. the Fort near Taos
was called upon to pursue the lndi-
ans aud to chas,ise them for depredatlons
which they had committed. The mail
! for March advised us of his having gone
out on this expedition, and we infer that
he must have followed the enemy great
distance. The place at which the main
battle was fought is not known TO per-
sons familiar with the localities of New
Mexico, but 1t is probable in The neigh
borhood OF Fi.Massachuse,ts, which was
abandoned last year by Gen. Garland
The odds againstlhe American command
were great-,he Indians were familiar
with the ground, and tits known that the
Uiahs are as expert in the use of rifle
as the Americans. The loss os Lieut..
Davidson was very great-but when the
number Of Indians is considered, this
will not appear surprising; and we feel
sure that much greater number of saw
ayes will be found TO have been slain
| Will the Government, profit by these
events! Will they see the ne cessity Of
sending sufficient military force TO New
Mexico, TO give reace and protection to
the people OF that Territory! Immense
quantities OF munitions of war have been
sent to different points Of that Territory
within the pas, few months, with what
object no one can conjecture, except in
anticipation of trouble in regard 10 the
MessiIla Valley, but now men are want
ed to use the powder and the ball against
the Indians. Will they be seni9 or will
the Administration suffer the small mill
tary force now there to be cut up in de-
tail, without any effort 10 save them!-

AGRICULTURAL.

The WHEAT CRop.-The editor of
the Chicago Tribune has recently made
an excursion through Canada, N. York,
a part of Pennsylvania. New Jersey.
Delaware, Maryland. Virginia, Ohio,
and Indiana, and gives The following in
formation in reference TO The growing
crop of winter wheat, by personal OBJ
servalion and careful inquiry Of inlelli-
gen. persons:
"Throughou, Canada, the breadth OF
ground covered with whea, is consdera-
by larger than last year, and very little
has been winter killed, The earth having
been covered with snow nearly all the
winter months, and the fields present
very thrifty appearance. In New York,
there is probably no increase OF acres,
and the fields have suffered some from
frost, though favorable weather during
May and June will cause good yield
in the aggregate. In New Jersey, there
is supposed to be less land covered, bu,
the prospect is good-never much bet
ter. In Pennsylvania. there is large
increase in acres, and the fields look mat.
Ted, and present dark green color, indi-
eating a luxurious growth. Several per.
sons from the western counties reported
the condition of the crop in their locality
equally favorable.
In Maryland, especially III the Seauii-
FIJI snG rich section of country around
Frederick City, where nearly half Of
the cleared lands are in wheat, the crop
promises equal to any we have ever
saw. The same is true, we are told. Of
Washington county. Along the line Of
The Baltimore and Ohio railroad, as far
" est as Cumberland, there is also an in-
crease OF acres. though altogether not
much, and the crop looks well, remark
ably so, considering the broken and
mountainous character Of the country.
In Eastern Virginia. the prospect was
said TO be good. and in Shenandoah,
Rockingham, Page and Augusta coun-
ties. which constitute the best wheat Sec
tions of the State. the numoer of acres
sown is one, fourth larger, and never was
better crop expected. Along the Ohio
river counties in Virginia there is MOI,
much sown, bu, the crop looks fair. In
Ohio there has been considerable COM
plain, that the yonng sprouts we're se-
riously injured. especially in the river
counties, bu, SO far as we could observe,
the fields look thrifty, and the amount
of acres covered Is considerably larger.
In the southern counties, we heard there
was MOI good prospect. but that is no,
wheat growing section. and partial
failure there cannot senslbly afier. the
result of the crop of the whole State
On the whole, we are confident there
have been few springs within period
of fifteen years when the whea: crop
looked more promising in the States
mentioned than it does at this time"
