Correspondence OF the Charleston Mercury'
WASHINGTON, November 1lth, 1853.

An important move is just taking place on the
nolitical chess board. 1t is the union of the
.Richmoud South" and the ''Washington States"
.dav announced in the States, which is to be en-
larred under the editorial control Of Mr.. Pryor.
The South" it is understood, was formerly too
"extreme" for the latitude of Virginia, and has
not thriven in pecuniary point of view, though
possessing a large circulation. And, although
fnult has been found with Pryor throughout the
Cotton States for his course during the summer,
he has been rs staunch as be could, to exist amidst
the wire pulling, log-rolling asprants of the Old
Dominion The South was regarded rs the or
gan of the HUNTER democracy, and the Estates"

personal organ of DOUGLAS, devoted to his for
tunes. The South" last winter bitterly denoun-
ced DOUGLAS, but Southern Senators looked upon
his transgrcssion with forgivng eye, squirting,
nossibly. to the future The South" afterwards
nreferred the renegade democrat to o consistent
foe, the black republican LINCOLN, and hos advo'
Gated DOUGLAS re election. 1t is generally
thought now that HUNTER has the inside track for
the next nomination for the Presidency before the
Democratic Convention,-DAvIs, Oar. COBB, STE.
rHEYs, TooMDs. JOHNSON, Brown, SLIDELL, and
the rest of the twenty Southern aspirants to the
contrary notwithstanding. In combination with
DOUGLAS, his chances of success will be benefited
And while HUNTERS friends want the Presidency
for him, DOUGLAS wants the Vice Presidency, or
at any rate wants his democracy white washed.-
In this coalition the Little Giant plays strong
game, backed in his degenerate democracy by one
of the most talented editors from the largest ana
most influential democratic State in the South
and the Union.
If report then he true, the Richmond Enquirer,
that rnritt whig.WIsE organ of Southern anti Le-

A SINGULAR CANON IN New Mexico
troops sent out from Fort Defiance to punish
band of hostile Indians in the neghborhood. sue
ceeded in capturing FIVE thousand heed of sheep
and six Indians. Six Indians were killed, and
two soldiers were also killed during the fight
The troops entered remarkable gorge or canon,
climbing down the mountain side at almost its
centre, through n narrow passage, where single
horseman only could pass, and at the risk OF be-
ing precipi,ated, by a false step. down chasm
of FIVE hundred feet. The walls Of the canon are
in some plnces fifteen hundred feet high. Arrows
shot from the top nj the troops below lost their
direction by the resistance of the air and came
down horizontally. Stones thrown down were
broken before they reached the bottom from the
same cause. 1t is about 40 or 80 miles through
it. Peaches and corn were found in it in great
quantities.. The peaches arc said, by the officers,
to be very fine Several prisoners were taken in
the canon. Had the tribe in any numbers stood
fight here. they could have annoyed the troops
much without doubt. II was n hazardous march
and the success is matter of wonder as well o:
of congratulrion. The opinion is expressed by
some of the officers, that ten determined men
we'll urmed could have resisted the entrance oi
the troops into the canon.
