FURTHER News FROM New MExCo-The ad-
vices from SantaFe to the Goth of November, show
that a better state of things is dawnng for New
Mexico, from the fact that Messrs Beck & Gid
dings had Just received from the States, 1,10O
head Of stock sheep, among which were eighteen
fine Saxon bucks, aud twelve or thirteen ewes Of
the same stock. This is said in the Gazette to be
the first attempt to improve the stock of sheep in
that Territory and it is thought that it viii be at
tended with the most favorable results. New
Mexico is great sheep growing country, the eli
mate being particularly adapted for this purpose,
and in the present demand for wool. and for ex-
port to California this adventure cannot fail to paw

The gold mine recently discovered in the terrific
ny is said TO promise large yield The Gazette
mentions specimen weighing o. IS dwt and l
grain, and adds:
The body Of mineral at the placer is inexhaus-
tiblr and Of a richness rarely equaed. The opin-
ion of one OF the proprietors is that with proper
machinery the yield will be about sxtv-six cents
TO the bushel, and we know that a mine in North
Carolina Is now being worked very proftably on a
Weld of sixteen cents to the bushel Another
great advantage possessed by he placer mine over
the quartz mines of California and elsewhere is the

THE NEW YORK "HARDS" IN CONGRESS.

e-' THE NEW YORK HARRIS" IN CONGRESS,
The New York shards' have succeeded in get
ting their quarrel into Congress, and in getting it
kicked out again. The history of the tremendous
demonstration which the whig abolition, and "hard'
letter writers told us they were going to make,
may he about as briefly written as was that of an
other event. of which it was said

The history of the 'hard" movement in Con-

a resolution Of inquiry touching the removal OF
C)ilector BRoSsoS. The resolution came up for
consideration on the 4th, the author remarking
that the time had not come for discussion demand
Il the previous question. lie withdrew the mo-
ton, however, long enough to allow brief debate
between himself Mr.. CEINGMAN, Mr. BTssELL and
Others. in which nothing of much importance was
said on either side Mr. Dan moved to lay the
resolution on the table, and demanded the yeas
and nays on his motion. The result showed lO4
yeas to &c nays This is rather poor showing,
ana would seem to indicate that the factionists
have managed to make very great noise with a
very small force They have sustained such de-
feat in their first well-defined attack upon the ad-
nnistration as will perhaps serve to show
them with how little sympathy the democracy
Of the country at large, view their sedious course
and how little influence all their clamor had up

The clipper ship Tartar arrived at San Francisco
after the very short passage of twenty-five days
from Shanghai, bringing news as late as the 4th OF
November
Pekin is not yet taken but the Rebels were not
far distant
Shanghai was captured after three or four DAYS
ofstreet fighting, by the Small Sword Society, Ia
branch OF the Rebels in the beginning of Septem,
Der, and was soon after beseged Icy the Imperial
lists
The siege was conducted in most efficient man
ner, and 1t was thought there was no danger that
the lmperlalists would retake the city The Rebels
acted very well when they took the city and treat
ed the foreigners with great friendlness good
feeling now exists between them. Many houses
outside the walls had been torn down. so that the
besiegers could not skulk behind them A COM
mercial circular Of Oct Dist, says:
Towards the close of September. runors were
current that the lmperialists were about to make
an effort TO retake the city, which were verified on
the morning OF the 29th, by the appearance Of
abou 40 small Imperial junks which at once com
menced useless cannonade upon the eastern SUI
buIbs. The next morning, an army of about five
thousand imperlaiSts came down from the country
IN boats and landing half mile in the rear of the
foreign residences, were marched across to attack
the city. The insurgents within the place were
completely surprised, and had the walls been as
sauted at once. the city might have been retaken;
but some time was consumed in parleying and
when the attack was finally made, they were re-
pulsed with loss.
Since that date, attack has been made almost
daily upon the walls which invariably has resulted
in the repulse of the Imperaliss, and they are oc-
cnped IN constructing line of mud forts with the
apparent latent to reduce the city by cutting of all
supplies. This they cannot do 50 long as the funds
of the besieged hold out, but if the latter do not
before long receive succor from the insurgents at
Nankn, 1t is to be feared that they will be overpow-
cred by the aSsailants. For few days after the
commencement of the siege, market was COM
plete'y paralysed; but during the last ten days
transactions q smaller scale have been going on
Teas lad arrived more freely than had been antic-
pated. We have no reliable information of the
progress Of the insurgents upon Pekin and so long
as the success OF the rebellion is undecided we
must look for continuance of the present disorder
ed state Of affairs.

announces the recent sudden death, in California.
of his son in-aw, Lieut.. James Blair, son of Francis

1t would seem from this that the dispatches,
which went through the whole country, were en-

who died The mistake produced many compli-
