There is no man probably living
who has read more, thought more,
or written more on military subject,
than Louis Napoleon. Several Of
his treatises are, we believe, the
standard works in Europe in the

they treat. He has also been from

THE MAILS IN NEW MExICo.-The following is
extracted from letter dated Santa Fe, Oct. Oath :
The mails which left Independence on the 22d
and 10Th September arrived here together on the
2lst inst The conductor and one hand of the mail
of the 22d were killed by the Indians at the cross
ing of the Arkansas. One hand only was left He
escaped, and took the news to a body of troops
encamped at Walnut Creek. A party was sent
out, who gathered up the mail and took it with
them back to Walnut Creek, where they met the
mail of the 26th. This mail was escorted to the
Arkansas, beyond which the officers in command
had no instructions to come. Indians were seen in
every direction. The mail party returned to Wal
nut Creek with the escort, and having met Moore
Rees train at that point, travelled with it out of
danger. The Indians cut open one of the mail
sacks of the mail Of the 22d but, apparently, moth
ing was taken out.
The mail of last Tuesday is still due, and as
there are no trains travelling the roads, am afraid
we will have no mails all winter, unless the Gov
eminent will furnish troops to keep the road open.
The escort for the mail which left here on last
Monday has been increased to seventy-ive men,
which, with the Transfers and mail, will make the
party over one hundred strong As some of the
escort will be on foot, the mail will be long time
getting in.
The mail which leaves this morning has instruc-
tons to endeavor to overtake the escort of the
other mail. If it cannot do so, the conductor has
instructions to return to Fort Union.

WEATHER AND CRops IN AscENsIoN.-The AGA
dian Ascension of Thursday last says:
The clerk of the weather seems to move by fits
and sartstrue, all the time smiling, but one hour
calm, serene and warm, and the next moment,
pinching us with biting cold. The change of last
Sunday was one of the most sudden we have ever
experienced. Up to O'Clock in the evening, the
weather was warm; oppressivey so, and in half
an hour the wind had shifted round from the North,
and brought feelings akin to those of Ireland
And all this without drop of rain!
We regret to be compelled to announce that our
bright anticipations about the sugar crop cannot
be realized. The drought and freeze have blasted
them. So look out for short crops.

SUSPICIOUS CHARACTER ARRESTED We learn
visit to this city, that by the name of Wayne
has been arrested in Buncombe county, N. G. He
was caught by DIR. billiard and Mr.. Patten, who
took him out of his bed. He says he killed man
in Virginia, but it is supposed he was connected in
some way with the Harper's Ferry Affair." An in
tercepted letter contains evidence sufficient to
bring him to justice. 1t is said that there re-
ward of $500 offered for him by the Governor of
Virginia. He had 800 in money on his person
when arrested, which he handed over to his lawyer
The people Of the Southern States should be on

MESSAGE OF THE GOVERNOR OK ALABAAA.--Tho
annual message Of Governor Moore was read in
the Alabama Legislature on the l4th. The follow
ing passage shows the present condition Of the Mo-
bile aud Ohio Railroad Company: q
The debt due from the Mobile and Ohio Railroad
Company was extended under and according to
the terms prescribed in the act of the last General
Assembly. The security taken from the company
consists of five hundred thousand dollars Of irst
mortgage bonds, previously taken as security, and
a mortgage on about twenty-one thousand acres Of
and upon which is located some of the improve
ments. The security was deemed ample 1T the
time it was taken, and is now unqlesti0nably so.
By the extension of the road, both the bonds and
lands have increased in value, and will continue to
do SO, until the great enterprise is completed. Its
speedy completion is now placed beyond doubt.
The iron for the entire work has been purchased,
and will be laid down as fast as practicable. When
completed, it will be one of the best paying roads
in the Union, and will add immensely to the wealth
and population Of our only seaport city, and will
necessarily contribute in no small degree to the
revenue and strength of the State. q
The company acknowledge their obligations to
the State for the indulgence extended to them, and
have promptly paid the interest on the debt. The
extension Of the three hundred thousand dollars due
the State induced other creditors to pursue SINH
lar course by which the company were enabled to
pass crisis in their affairs that threatened to arrest
the further progress Of the road that the State,
by this act of lberality, may be said to have se-
cured the completion OF one of the most important
works of internal improvements in the Southern
States,
