Later from New Mexico.

We have received dates from Santa Fe, via
San Antonio, to the 14th January.
The Santa Fe Gazette ofthe 7th, ult, says: We
learn by return guide, who arrived at Zuni
about the middle Of December last, that Lieut.
Whipple and his party had arrived safely at the
Little Colorado; and had found a practicable
railroad route as far as he had gone
Captain Dodge, the agent for the Navajo In
dians, returned to his agency last Monday
Captain Graves has also returned to his agency
at Taos.
The same paper of the 14th says; Kit Car
son, the celebrated mountaineer arrived in this
city, from Taos, on Wednesday, the 11th, to re-
turn home. He was appointed Indian Agent
for the Utahs some months ago. and came down
to accept,and file his official bond with the Super
lntendent before entering upon the duties Of
his office.
Wehear, by rumor. that two murdered Amer
leans were found few days ago, on the road
near Las Vegas We hope the report may prove
unfounded, but if true, the villains who com
mitted the deed may soon be brought to justice
We learn by private letter from Fort Fill-
more, that Col Alexander, with his command,
consisting offour companies of the 7th Infantry,
will reach his place of destination Gel Paso) BY
the 18th Of this month.
We regret that the 8th day of January passed
without any demonstration, in honor of the great
atiio Wiooo SallduL ueeuS ltS annual return
so forcibly brings to mind.
The weather the past week has been unusually
cold in Santa Fe, and we have had winter in
good earnest The thermometer has been as
low as zero; and snow has fallen once or twice,
and considerable ice formed. The cold is much
less severe, however, than in the States at the
same temperature, on account of the dryness of
the atmosphere The weather has become
milder within day or two, and we hope will
continue So
herder tending his focks near San Miguel
was killed by bear ON New Years day. The
facts we have been able to gather, are as follows
Two Mexicans were herding cattle together,
and took turns in remaining at the camp. The
one who was absent the last week of the old year
returned on New Years day, and found his
companion dead, close by the camp. He is sup
posed to have gone out for wood, as an arm load
was found near where he was lying. He was
terribly mangled Not far off the bear was
found dead, also. The Mexican was armed with
small pistol and knife; and the animal had
been cut and shot in many places, besides hav-
ing been beaten over the head with large
stick
Another Mexican named Rodrigues, a citizen
OF Santa Fe, was killed by bear, on Tuesday
| the 10th inst, near st. Vrans mill, about seven
miles from town. He had been herding goats,
and not coming home with his fock his friends
went in search of him. He was found dead and
much mutilated; his knife was.in its sheath
and probably had not been used; much blood
was on the ground but the animal was no,
found The body was brought home for burial
The Supreme Court of the Territory was il

MURDER OF MAIL RIDER The San Antonio
Western Texan gives the following account OF
the murder of Merrill, the mail rider between
San Antonio and Fort Merrill on the Nueces
river: "The mail rider between this place and
Fort Merrill, on the route to Corpus Christi, did
not return from his last trip at the time he
should have arrived. Fears were entertained
that some mishap had befallen him, and persons
were dispatched to ascertain, if possible, the
cause of his non arrival. 1t is now our painful
duty to record that his dead body was found in
the chaparrel, near the Fort Merrill road, at u
place where he had evidently encamped for the
night. His death was caused by violence, and
the foul deed is supposed to have been COM
mitted by marauders who found him at his rest
inr-place

EXCITEMENT IN BROADWAY. Shortly before
one o'clock this afternoon, Broadway was COM
pletely blocked up by a crowd of excited Ger
mans and others, who were yelling and making
every demonstration short of serious violence,
under the window of A. Bollermann, the
Hessian Consul The reason given by those
concerned in this outrage was, that some newly
arrived young emigrant called this morning at
the Gonsul's on certain business connected with
his passage here, and when requested to take
off his hat, declined, on the ground that this
was free country, and that, consequently,
such ceremony might be dispensed with
Whereupon, as is alleged, the Consul Boiler
mann saved the young man the trouble, by per-
forming the operation himself, adding, as a
gratuity, severe whipping to the offender
This was considered by our German friends as
an act of so superfuous courtesy, as to demand
some special acknowledgment. The g bad man, .
they said ought to be g thanked" N Y Post

ALEXANDER Observation-Disclosures Hamilton
was one of the men about whom Mr. Webster
loved to speak. He entertained for his charac-
ter the highest respect and admiration Mr..
Webster was fond of instituting historical par
allels. He thought there was striking resem-
blance in the histories Of the younger Pitt and
Hamilton. They both were men Of premature
Intellectual strength They both attained re-
nown at very early periods of life. Pitt was
made Prime Minister when he was twenty-four
years old, and Hamilton had written some Of
his best essays on the financial condition of the
country when he had not passed that age. There
was also striking resemblance in their style
of composition, and turn Of mind They were
both men OF great determination and of indomi-
table courage. Both were conservative in their
politics, and cared little for popular clamor.
They were both eminent fnanciers. Pitt, by
his genius and skill, was 'sthe pilot who wealth
cred the storm when England was surrounded
by impending ruin; and Hamilton was the great
American Secretary, who sssmote the rock Of
national resources, and abundant streams of
revenue gushed forth, and touched the dead
corpse of the public credit and it sprung upon its
feet" Both were the leaders and idols of their
respective parties, and were, consequently, ma
ligned and hated by opposing factions Hamil-
ton was brave and accomplished soldier: Pitt.
though he had never sled a squadron in the
field,'' carried England in safety and in tri-
umph through a long and bloody war Pitt
was the best parliamentary debater and orator
of his time in England; and Hamilton was
equally distinguished among the orators and de
baters Of America. Pitt was the favored Min
lister of his sovereign; Hamilton was the. cher
lshed friend, associate and fayorite of Washing
ton. Cincinnati Gazette.

While Rachel, the great tragedienne, was
walking home from rehearsal at St Petersburg,
she was shocked at the conduct of gentleman
who seized her in his arms and commenced to
rub her nose with snow. She screamed, but he
continued the process In o moment crowd
collected, when the Russian again put the TRACE
dienne upon her feet and said: Mademoiselle
your nose was freezing, and that was the only
way to save you" A French paper says that
this seems to have been really the case.

NEW STYLE OF RooFs.--A new style of
roof for houses has come in vogue in Philadel-
phia, within a few years, which we think is a
great improvement over the old modes, and cal
culated to avoid the necessity of open cutters
crossing the footh ak to conduct rain water
from spouts We allude to the plan of having
the highest pitch of the roof then descending
towards the rear. By this means the rain water
is conducted to the rear of the houses and passes
off into the back drains Thus there are no
spouts at all in front, and the even surface of
the footwalk is not broken by open cutters to
carry off the rain water. Another recommen-
dation of this plan is that it entirely avoids the
avalanches of snow from the roofs of houses in
winter, and thus save the pedestrian from serious
danger. So excellent an improvement ought to
be more generally adopted than it is, because it
is a great public convenience. rendering the
streets more comfortable, and abolishing evils,
which are now much complained of. 1t causes
no additional cost in the construction of houses
but, on the contrary, is more economical than
the old styles of construction, because it saves
the price of much material [Phil North

AMERICAN You've MEN.--American history
presents many remarkable instances of young
men taking prominent and commanding stations
at an age which would be thought very young
in other countries. We subioin few striking
examples, from the list of those who have passed
off the stage of human action.
At the ageof %, Mr.. Jefferson was an infu-
ential member of the Legislature of Virginia
AT 30, he was member Of the Virginia Con-
vention at 80, member of the Continental
Congress; and at SO, he wrote the Declaration
of Independence
Alexander Hamilton was only 20 years of age
when he was appointed Lieutenant Colonel in
the army of the Revolution, and Aid -de-camp
to Washington. AT 25, he was a member of the
Continental Congress; Mt 30, he was one of the
ablest members of the Convention which framed
the Constitution of the United States; at 80, he
| was Secretary of the Treasury, and organized
that branch of the Government upon so com.
plete and comprehensive a plan, that no graat
| change or improvement has since been made
upon it.
John Jay, at 90 years old, was member of
| the Continental Congress. and wrote an address
| to the people of Great Britain, which was Justly
regarded as one of the most eloquent produc-
tions of the times. At 50, he prepared the Con
stitution of the State of New York, and in the
same year was appointed Chief Justice of the
State.
washington was y years of age when he COW
cred the retreat of the British troops at Brad
docks defeat and the same year was honored
by an appointment of Commander-in Chief Of
the Virginia forces.
| Joseph Warren was 20 years of age when he
| delivered the memorable address Son the 9th Of
March, which aroused the spirit of patriotism
and liberty in this section of the country; and
at "a he gloriously fell in the cause of freedom
on Bunker Hill
Fisher Ames, at the age of % had excited
public attention by the ability he displayed in
the discussion of questions of public interest.
At the age of 80, his masterly speeches in de-
fence of the Constitution of the United States,
had exerted great influence, so that the youth
full orator of 81 was elected to Congress from
the Suffolk District over the revolutionary hero,
Samuel Adams
Joseph Story entered public life Mt the age
of 26; he was elected to Congress from the Es-
sex District when he was 90; was Speaker OF
the Massachusetts, House of Representatives at
81, and the same year was appointed, by Pres
ident Madison, Judge Of the Supreme Court of
the United States
De Witt Clinton entered public life at % 7;
Henry Clay, at 26. The most youthful sgner
of the Declaration of Independence was William
Hooper, of North Carolina, whose age was but
"a Of the other signers Of the Declaration,
Thomas Haywood, of South Carolina, was 80;
Elbriage Gerry, Ben amin Rush, James Wilson
and Matthew Thernton were 81; Arthur Mid
