COLONEL T. S. FAUNTLEROY,

The services Of this distinguished officer in protecting
the people of New Mexico from the depredaions and cru
elites of the Indians and in pursuing and furnishing with
summary severity the wild and awless tribes who have
successfully set defiance the officers of the government
have ELECTED general applause Not only have the author
tiles of New Mexico been prompt to express their high
of the perseverng skill and energy of this thorough
soldier Who with comparatively small force has follow
ed the Indians into the dees and abyrnths of the Rocky
mountains where they have not hitherto been reached,
and who has inflicted upon them the signal retrbu-
ton but distant friends have responded to this sentiment
in terms of admiration. We notice, however that
in several of the published of these affairs the
of Colonel Fauncroy has been entirely omitted and
in Others grossly misprnted II is due to him and his
friends that these should be corrected and gladly
take this opportunity Of doing Our brave troops
not well compensated for their prvatons and toll in
the distant regions which they have been called that
they should be deprived of the need Of praise which

In fear and trembling-with visions OF re-
yolvers, bowie knives. blunderbusses, and every
other missile of foreign and domestic warfare
We copy the following sanguinary paragraph
| from yesterdays Courier:
| sesr TO WASH Our THE Bloop,--A friend who was
weather bound in office during the tremendous shower
yesterday, remarked that had doubtless been sent
kind Prosidsnce 20 wash away the blood stains ron
Che caused by the regard entertained by the
Nothings for law order, in order that they
might no longer offend shook the eyes of outraged
people.
What, sin the name Of all the gods at once,s
and if we had ever heard of any more We
would make an appeal to them, has possessed
our usually amiable, clever, and peaceably dis
posed cotemporary He talks about blood
stains" on the banquettes, just as though he
was in the habit Of contemplating such serious
sights all the time, and then gets off solemn,
and somewhat blasphemous suggestion, from
somebody. that the rains Of Tuesday were sent
by g kind Providence - to wash out the afore-
said g blood STAINS in order that the eyes Of
IN outraged people" might not be inoonyeni-
enced thereby!
Now, We don't believe the rains of Tuesday
had anything more to do with the proceedings
Of Monday than they had with the speculations
FL
Of the biggest manufacturer Of green cheese ex-
tant. There was an election on Monday be-
cause the laws of Louisiana ordered it. There
were heavy rains on Tuesday because the Great
Ruler SO willed. The 0rderer of the latter
might have prevented the former, but the former
had no more connection with the latter than
have the ebbings and fowings Of the tides Of
the Arctic ocean.
Such paragraphs as the one quoted can do no
good, and yet may be productive of much harm
For our part, we feel constrained to discounte-
nance them unqualifedly, while at the same
time we are free to say that much may be
yielded to the spirit of disappointment, which,
like the spirit of liberty, sometimes becomes un-
controllably irascible. Still there should be q
limit to ell things. There is no use Of running
q good stick in the ground and breaking it
short off.

about two hundred years ago, who left his vii
