 santa Fe can boast of magnifcenty kept Ho'el-no man need wish to enter better in any country It is now kept by a gentleman and family by the name of Rose It will be remembered, this is the same family, that were induced to try Boale's" route to California and were robbed of all their stock, and number of the party were murdered by the In- dians Mir. Rose lost over s2O GOO worth of fine stock, among which were some blooded animals, besides the pryatons he and his fam fly had to undergo fortunately none of his family were killed, and only his motherin-law wounded In the wrist, in protecting her little granddaughter. Nine emigrants in all were killed. Mir. Rose and family before this disas- ter were in easy circumstance, indeed, for farmers and stock-growers, comparatively rich. They lost all their worldly stock of goods and have nowto resort to hotel keeping for a liyeli- hood This matter, l have been informed, has been brought to the notice of our Government, and have no doubt when all the facts of the case are laid before Congress, that body will do full justice to these deserving people
 There is considerable legal talent at the San to Fe, Bar, and they are as courteous gentle men as they arc gifted advocates; and the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Mir Benedict, is an able Judge, and clear expounder of the law listened with great attention and much pleasure to a learned and elaborate opinion of great length, delivered by him in relation to those Mexicans (ar the time of the conquesD who elected to retain their Mexican citizenship. The learned Judge decided that all those. who had 50 elected, were to all intcnts and purposes foreigners and had to take out naturalization papers, before they could exercise the rights Of American citizens This was an important decision, inasmuch as several hundred ofthese MeNcans, who had thus thrown away their rights as American citizens, were now the loud. est mOuthed politiciaus-some of them even holding o'iice-othefs of them always upon the grand and petit iuries The question came up upon an exception taken to one of them, sitting as grand juror. The opinion of the Chef Justice was concurred in by the two other members of the Court Messrs BooSE & BLACK, WOOD
 santa Fe, is the head quarters of the Army, both for New Mexico and Arizona. Those of the officers l had the pleasure of meeting were clever gentleman. Col Bonneville had returned from sending an escort with Mr. PheIps M. C. from Missouri who had been in. vtei by the Legislature, to visit Santa Fe. and portions oi the surrounding country That he might see for himself tue wants and necessities of the Territory and behold the shameful con dltion Of the Court House and Jail-that is to be-by Congress refusing to make an appro. prlatlon for their completion. l never had the pleasure of meeting the honorable gentleman, but fer the two weeks l was in santa Fe. 1 heard nothing but Phelps-the Phelps dinner the Phelps 5ajiies-Pheps had danced with the Moiayc, &c, 6c In short, if the people Of santa F. had the power to make the next President MT. Phelps would occupy the "White House for the next four years term. One good turn deserves another, and l have no doubt that Mr. Phelps will stand up manfully for the wants of New Mexico, and as matter of course for ArizoHq loo.
 In closing this letter, l should like to say something in favor of many of the deserving gentlemen, who hold Federal Commissions and many other gentleman residing there at whose hands l was the recipient of tavors and polite nesses, but am admouished by the compositor that my letter has already reached too great a length They must therefor take the will for the deed. Wishing my old friend DE MARBLE, long life and happiness, sign myself
