| FROM New MExIco.-We have received, says
the N. Y. Herald, interesting Communication from
| our Fort Buchanan, New Mexico, correspondent,
dated the 9Th inst, in which he gives synopsis
Of the news at that post. Jack Powers, notorf
GUS character, and who formerly belonged to Col.
| Stevenson's New York regiment was murdered On
the night Of Oct. 18th, the Calabacas ranch,
| about 30 miles from Fort Buchanan. The deceased
was wealthy, and has relatives residing in this city
A stranger named Bailey, on his journey to the
States stopped over at Tucson for few days, and
while there, on Nov. LIST, was coolly murdered BY
| a desperate named Miller Bartlett. Another man
\ HdiiiGu w. r.. NdEu, OIL DdFuaue1IS, Tell county.
Arkansas, was slot by Mexican lying in ambush,
near Fort Buchanan, and was mortally wounded.
The ball was fired evidently from one 81 Colts re-
volvers; it passed entirely through the chest Of
its victim. Wards condition was discovered in a
few moments after the occurrence, and he was
taken to the first hospital at the fort, where He
lived for upwards of four hours in perfectly calm
and rational state Of mind conversing on the sub
| iect and then died.
A NOVEL CASE AT LAw.--Mr. Church, Of Mont
vile, Conn., owned hen. The hen took d notion
to set. Mr.. Church encouraged her in it to the ex-
/ tent of giving her sixteen eggs to commence On.
With commenabe industry the hen went to work,
setting" For one week she devoted herself TO It
without interruption. AT the end of the week Mr.
Tinker's turkey came along that way, and crowd :
ing the hen off her nest took the business of incu
| baton under her own wings. Being more ION her
muscle1 than the hen, she maintained Ter position
until brood of chickens stepped out OF the she'll
and peeped. The turkey then took the chickens
in tow and returned to her own and Mr.. Tinkerss
residence. Mr.. Church brought an action Of troFer
for the Chickens claiming them on the ground that
his hen laid the eggs and did the best part Of the
setting. The case was tried on Saturday, and
4 Judgment was given for plaintiff to recover eight
cents apiece for the chickens.
THE RIGHr or SECESSION Washington cor
respondent Of the Baltimore Sun says:
4 The cabinet crisis cannot be said to have vet
\ passed over even if it has been yet reached
when the President shall finally submit to she cab
met that portion OF his message which relates To-
the question of the rights of State secession it ID
probable that at least two members of the cabinet,
| Mr.. Cobb and Mr.. Thompson, must take ground in
opposition to what are understood to be the Presi--
dents views. MEANWHILE the President is strongly
urged against taking any ground in his message in
opposition to the right of secession, fer the reason
that it will hasten, instead of delay actual seces-
sion. The temper of the South would not. at pre-
sent endure patiently any dietation on this subject
| from the Federal Government.
/ The abstract question Of the right of secession
is no doubt to form leading topic Of discussion
| in Congress at the coming session.
Some suppose that the President will recommend
| to Congress the calling of convention of the
States II he do so, the State Legislatures soon to
be in session may also make the same request of
Congress. But whether the Republican members
will comply with the request is doubtful. The call
must be made by vote Of two-thrds Of each
| House.
| CLOSE OF LAKE NAvIG ALTON The Chicago DEM.
ocrat says:
4 Last year navigation closed on the 2gth of Me-
4 Yember. AT that time there were 207 $40 bushels
of grain in store. Navigation this year will pro-
q badly continue two weeks longer. There are now
about million and d half bushels of grain here i
week. In order to get the stock down to what IT.
was at the close of navigation in 1853, we shall
have to ship fer the next two weeks an average of.
over one hundred and fifty thousand bushels per.
day. This can scarcely be done, and we no doubt
shall have much larger amount of breadstnfs in
store here at the close Of navigation than we had
at the same time in 1882
