OUR MILITARY BUDGET.
NEW hNyIcO

/ NEW MExIco.
Reports from New Mexico are Of a gratifying
character. Il 10 known that Col. Loribs basely
surrendered $50 troops 10 not mere than half the
number Of Texans, In Arizona. That part of tbs
Territory 10 therefore In possession Of the rebels
As to the rem sinder Of that country, u 10 ufs In
the bands Of Union loving people, who have
| raised three regiments for Ia defence, in the
event Of a raid to seize Government arms and mu-
nitions, and other kinds Of property
Besides, Col. Candy, who commanded the mil
itary department, has regular force of from
twelve to fifteen hundred men. Mr. steck, from
whom this Information 10 derived, further ssys
that just before he LEFT that Territory the Nsvsjcs
Indians, through all their principal chen and
| braves, made q treaty Of peace. Renee, quiet
everywhere prevails. There were no disturbances
on the Plains when he passed over them.
About two months ago, trader sold some e
the Indians whisky, which was the source Of mis-
chief. But the traders wrong doing recoiled
upon himself; the savsgo helping themselves 10
about thousand dollsn' wsrth Of his goods, not
stopping to inquire the price, nor saying snvthing
about pay. The trader, IL was sdtudged, was
served right and, accordingly, he failed Of OBJ
tanning indemnity.
THEIR NEW RIVER BArrKRus,
We learn that the batteries Of the dissnionists,
the precise position Of which down the river
were indicated yesterday, are four In number,
located over q space Of three quarters Of q mile,
between Aqua Greek and shipping Point, 90 %
TO command some four and q half miles Of the
channel for heavy ships. We have before noticed
the labor Of the enemy In their construction.
Each Of these batteries mounts four or Eve guns;
eleven Of them believed 10 be Q inch Dshlgrens.
The portion Of the notlls-the Pswnee, Ysnkee,
and Harriet Lsne-thst went down last night,
will doubtless at test the capsbility Of these
works seriously to interfere with the Rav.gstioa
Of the Potomac.
HOW TO DO n.
The New York Herald, yesterday, undo cover
Of a tremendous dust it kicked up over the act Of
the Tunes IN airing the Governments intended
grand combined army and navy operation, itself
airs the Governments intended expedition 10 re-
open the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, q purpose
il was designed to keep as secret a. possible for
perhaps a week 10 come.

cinnati last night.
