ayafae states that the Legislature Of that
territory have some thoughts of msmeraIiz-
ing Congress to erect a new territory out
of the southern portion Of New Mexico.--
The present territory is eight hundred mi,es
long, six hundred and Fifty broad, and Is
Inhabited BY one hundred thousand people.
The tract Of ground newly acquired from
Mexico has given il 8 comparatively large
population 10 its southern part, and that sec
ton is now so far removed from Santa Fe
the seat Of Government, and the country
is so dangerous and difficult for travellers
that communication is for all ordinary purpos-
es impracticable. The proposed territory
is to be called PIimeria; il is said to pos
sess vast agricultural and mineral resources
and to be capable of supporting large
population The letter TO the Pieavuas
states that il already contains larger pop
ulation than either Oregon, Washington,
Kansas or Nebraska contained when they
were erected into territories.
