marks of the ex-editor of the Gazette fl am deceived iu the views herein expressed, it is an error into which the whole population of New Mexico have fallen, and the day we are unde- ceived will be to us day of rejoicing The special message of his Exceleney Gov. Rencher to the Legislature clearly indicates his views on the subject, and their refusal to pass vote of thanks to the commanding officers is anything but datterng rroeaa
 The disastrous result of this campaign is solely attributed to :he inetficiency of the commanding officers and it is generally believed that had Col Loring been allowed to command his own regiment of Mounted Rifles, instead of placing 1t under the command of an infantry officer, while the Colonel himself was left with cor porals guard at Fort Union to protect this frontier, the whole aspect of affairs would have been changed
 We believe that Capt Hatch, Capt Lindsay, and others, distinguished themselves SO far as they were able, but no man can be successful swimmer with a milestone swung to his neck. believe the army now here equal to anything required of it, and only needs the removal of old1fogysm to become apparent to all. The citizens of New Mexico delight to honor those wh1 exert themselves for their protection, and grieved that the tax on our gratitude has been oN hehe' ho'O otobOu AACOly dhu openly, and if these constitute me an enemy of the army shall remain SO, and if have been misinformed in any particular, and have thus lnintentionally injured any. one, l should notsonly consider it duty but a great pleasure m rendering him all the reparation in my pow er-for if l cannot succeed by fair and honora- | ble means neither desire nor deserve success.

The honor of the Government, the reputation of the army and the pecuniary interests involved, equally demand investigation.

A DoLoRoUs, BUT GRAPHIC VIEW, OF HUMAN AFFAIRs-A correspondent of the Wisconsin Chief thus sums up the characteristics of hu- man existence: H
 "All confidence is lost between man and man. The bottom has fallen out of everything Shrewd business managers are cheating God in their professions, and the devil in their bar gains Ginger is made out of mustard, and coffee of chickory. Young Hyson is raised in the COW pasture, and Young America in the dram shop Pure wines are made of poor whisky, and Havanas of herbs. Rascalty has become virtue and rot-gut turned to vinegar Legislatures are marked as merchants mark goods and the peoples funds absorbed by
 charitable purposes" ....t
 Governors are knocked off for $50. 900; legis- lators from $5, 900 to $20060 Railroad stock is down below zero. Caucuses are packed and young men electioncer on the Sabbath Fairbanks scales have taken to swindling, and old rats selling their tails to spike cannon-- Jewsharps are palned off as harps of a thousand strings, and Democrats as genuine Republi- cans --sperits of just men made perfect Sausages are adulterated, and tempting links seem to wag in the most dogged manner. Our territory, as we'll as our crinoline, is definitely expanding In fine, there are none truthful, save horse,jockeys; none patriotic, save politi- clans none talented, but those who make 'on change oi grocery corner, and cheat out vf the needy what they give to the Lord.

IS FINE PIANos.-We heretofore alluded with
pleasure to the magnificent pilnos of the
Messrs. KNABE, of Baltimore. This firm
have one of the largest manufactures in the
United States, and their reputation as first class
piano manufacturers is famous over the coun-
try, and everything coming from their hands
is warranted as being perfect. They Lave also
made some important improvements in their
manufacture which adds much to the value.
Two of the pianos have been purchased in
this city. One of them 10y Governor FonD,
and another by Mr.. HIRAM MILLER. These
two are certainly equal to any we have ever
seen or heard. In richness OF tone, and tull-
ness of sound, they are unsurpassed. We
have had the pleasure of hearing these pianos,
and as far as cur knowledge of music and con
cord of sweet sounds" is concerned, We GER
tainly pronounce them unsurpassed. In ex-
terror finish they are equally elegant, and are
a parlor ornament any one might be proud of.
The best evidence Of the superiority of these
instruments, is in the fact that wherever they
have come in competition with any others, at
any of the State or county fairs, they have in
variably taken The premium over all other
competitors. This factspeuks volumes in their
favor.
The general agents of the State Of Ohio are
Messrs. SETTER & WEBSTER, of Columbus.
The agent, Mr.. HERITAGE, is now in the city,
and any Of our citizens wishing any further in
formation, will be accommodated with pleas
ure, by calling upon him at the Wiler House.

owe, the undersigned, inhabitants Of Penn
sylvania and Delaware, believing that the Fed

whole nation to support slavery, violates the di-
vine law, makes war upon human rights, and is
grossly inconsistent with Republican principles:
that its attempt to unite freedom and slavery in
one body polite has brought upon the country
great and manifold evils, and has fully proved
that no such union car exist but by the sacrifice
Of freedom to the supremacy OF slavery, respect
fully ask you to devise and propose, without de-
lay, some plan for the immediate peaceful dis
solution of the American Union"
The patriotic Webster, whom the Boston
Abolitionists now delight to stigmatize as a pro-
slavery man of the vilest stamp, suggested that
something of the following character should
have been added:
"Genaeaaen, members IF Congress, uhrrcas,
