News from New Mexico.

The Santa Fe mail arrived at lnde.
pendence, May 20th, bringing news that
the Military were in pursuit of the Jicar'
illas Apaches, but nothing Of importance
had occurred since the arrival Of the last
Mail. ....
From the official reports it appears that
Lieut.. DAVIDSON lost in the fight, at the
Cierriguilla, twenty.twokilled on the field
and twenty.three wounded, and forty five
horses lost in the action. We annex a
short account of the fight, from the Santa
Fe Gazette of April 9th:
The camp of the Apaches was situated
upon mountain ridge, and in position
naturally strong and difficult of access.
Lieut.. Davidson saw that an action could
not be avoided, and therefore made the
necessary preparations for battle lie
dsmounted his men and with a small
guard to protect and hold them, placed
his horses little way in the rear. With
the balance of mis- command, not more
than fifty strong, he made an attack up
on the camp of the Indians. The sold.
iers charged bravely up the ridge and
carried the position of the Apachas, who
we're forced to retreat. They rallied
however, almost instantly, and attacked
the troops at close quarters, with great
desperation; they were several times re-
pulsed, and upon each occasion. seven
in all, rallied again to the charge. in ev'
cry instance exhibiting the utmost deter
mination and bravery The troops main
tanned this unequal contest for nearly
three hours, when they were forced tc
give way and retreat, which they succeed
ed in dong, and reached Taos the same
afternoon with their wounded.
This is one of the severest battles tha
ever took place between the American
troops and The Indians, and our loss much
greater IN proportion to the numbers en-
gagged. The Apaches fought with brave
ry almost unprecedented, and we are wei
convinced that nothing but the stubborn
, vaor Of Lieutenant Davidson and his mel
saved the command from entire destruc
C ton. The troops had greatly the disad
. vantage, The Indians selected their owl
position, on rugged mountain ridge ant
the dragons had to charge up a steel
slope TO reach them. The latter wer'

to remove the capital of the Company

Law rendering it impossible to sustain a
Banking establishment in that State with

amounts in round numbers to Three Hun
dred Thousand Dollars per annum. II

CHEERING PRosPEoTs FOR FARMERS. -

CHEERING PROSPECTS FOR FARMERS. -
The prospect for fruit, as far as we can
ascertain was never better. Peaches,
apples, pears, cherries and all other fruit
seem to be abundant, and promises as
large a crop as was ever gathered.
The wheat crop in this section of the
country is also very promising, notwith-
standing spprehensions to the contrary.
The season has been very favorable for
spring work, and the farmers have plan
ted their crops with unusual Dispatch
The high prices of all kinds of produce
will cause a greatly increased production
Notwithstanding this increase, there is no
danger of material fall in prices. The
war in Europe will create an extraordin.
airy demand, and this country will be
looked to as the source of supply. Inde.
pendently of tho war our regular export
trade has become so extensive as to iusti.
fly and require an increased production
