From New Mexico.

ST.. Louis, Feb. l3.-Santa Fe dates are
of the l6.h ult. Business was brisk. The
legislature had adjourned. \ gold mine
had Teen discovered III the vicinity of Fort
Fillmore. There had been no avert act OF
hostility on the part Of Utah Indians, but the
Mormons were evidently tsmperlng with
them. The Santa Fe u zstte advocates the
SAILING of n regiment of mounted ritiemen for
an expedition, stating that a march could be
made from there to Salt Lake in 10 days. The
same paper recommends reinforcements to
be sent through New Mexico, the route being
mucu easier than the Northern. Aburdan,
provisions and forage can be had in destl-
TUE cannons, and the route can be travelled
quicker than via Laramie.

In the Legislature. the subjec of the pub
lie printing has been under discussion for
several days past, and the report OF Mr..
B,rbour was concurred IN to-day, recon-
mending a reduction of % per cent. The
opipions of two practical printers, members
Of the House, however, is that there will not
\. much saving. The great point, however,
vopld be to have a Committee on Printing
zach session, to whom all subjects should go,
ond who should decide what ought sud what
on,bt not to he printed. This would save
unre than any ether way, as there Is a great
ae,l Of ex,r, printing done, which ls utterly
n.els.s and unnecessary. The difficulty ORR
g%inaIly, il i. presumed, grew out Of the fact
hat Mr.. Ritcnie was more friendly to Mr..
Wise than TO Mr.. ~llun,er; and there was,
p,rbaps, a disposition to punish him for It.
There are two wings of the Democracy, the
old Line Regulars, aud the Ctrvalry.

The Baltimore American sys:-"Domes-
tic exchanges continue high in the South
aud West, the banks rn the South being de-
ternined to hold out until the limits imposed
on them by their legislatures are reached
1t is much more profitable 10 the Virginia
banks TO remain in q state OF suspension
than to resume, as a larre amount Of their
notes are held by New York, Philadelphia
aud Baltimore bankers, waiting a reduction
of exchange, so that the banks are virtually
borrowers without interest from the commu-
nity. 1t is a low estimate to assume that
the bankers in the three cities above men
toned now hold of Virginia aud North and
South Carolina bank notes S25O,OOO."
