der Cant. sweeney aud his band of rob
beIs, who for snne time past, kept TINS
section of country in terror, were captured
YESTERDAY at Rogers mill near here by
detachment OfCaVniry under Capt. Merrill.
Sweeney piekets were surprised ana cap
tured, and his whole band, thirty i've IN
number, were taken without hring gun
KAxsAs CRY, Dec. lO.-Santa Fe and
Carson city mail arrived last night win
dates to 2itb. All the merchants In the
territory are required by order OF Colonel
Candy to turn over their money TO Messrs:
Donaldsons of Santa Pc, as loan to the
Government. On the 18th ult., band OF
Navajo Indians went to Carr0les near Al
baQuerque, and stole large quantity OF
stock. Alarge. party Of citizens went in pur-
suit for the purpose ofreeoyeringthep prop
perry but six of the men having got in ad-
vance of the balance, fell into an ambus-
cade and were killed. The rest otthe par
" being too few In number to continue the
pursuit were compelled to return, leaving
the Indians to carry OF their booty. In the
vicidity of Albuquerque the same Indians
have been committing dePredAtions on a
large scale.
Il is understood Col. Candy is about TO
change the system heretofore pursued Tor
holding the savages in check. Instead oil
keeping the troops collected IN one past,
he will divide them at convenient points
ON the frontier, from which they can make
rapid pursuit after the Indians when they
attempt robberies
Measures are being taken to establish a
mail route between Santa Re aud Denver
City, by connecting a link Of forty miles
from Colorado to Fountain City. The
rOute would be completed.
1t is stdted that Messrs. Roberts 3 Co.,
contractors for carrying the mali from ln-
dependence to Santa Fe, intend putting
coaches on that part of the road. When
the facts are laid before the Post Office De-
partment, and every effort made for its
success, with the aid of the Pacific Tele-
graph from Denver City, Santa Fe will be
placed within eight days communication
with the States.

Ef15 %hURRAHIh6 FOkJ EFt. y AN4h-HlOAT
,rBE rotERArEp.-on Monday night at a
saloon called 'sThe Office, in Washington
Hall, Monroe street, an intoxicated Seces-
aSRfst proclaimed in q boisterous manner
ls admiration for JED. Davis aud his
cause. There were several friends of this
party present, and two or three gentlemen
in the employ of the Government. The
insults Ofthe SecessiOnist were SO Insult
feEable as not TO be endured, and the con-
sequence was general row, in which tum-
blers and fists were used, and some elaret
drawn. Capt. Mvohesuey, of Gen. Rose
Grams staff, proceeded to the Athenepm
building, brought mp squad of men aud
arrested two of the parties who were in the
saloon at the time and the keeper of the
place and took them down to the Atheneum
where they remained over night. As to
the justice of this proceeding. we have
nothing to say, as we know nothing of the
details of the row, only that it was COM
menced by yelIs for JEFF. Davis.
Wheeling is now the headquarters of
Geh. Rosecrans, and the General and his
4taf are here. A Union Legislature and
Td1ou Convention are now in session here.
tits the headquarters of the Paymaster's
Department for Western Virginia, and one
/ tefs4red secession prisoners are closely
guarded in. the Atheuenm. Out of three
thousand votes polled here, there were only
about one hundred for secession. Not
withstauding ali this Secessionists obtrude
their sentiments upon the public with
an insulting eRrontery that has
made the people of Wheeling famous
for their tolerance. There is scarcely n
night but yells may be heard in the streets
for JEFF. Davis, generally uttered by
drunken men, who have not the temerity
to do so when they arc sober. Is it any
wonder, under these circumstances, that
we have an occasional row like that of
Monday night3 If the people should
again become excited, and it should get
too hot for secesh to live here, will there
be any doubt as to who is responsible
Besides, what will strangers think of the
Uuionism of.n people who permit brawling
( shels to go through the streets publicly
Idenouncing the Government which pro-
tects them. There is not another people
on tue face of the earth, similarly situated.
/, who would permit it, and suffer the mora
eject. 1t is our opinion. thar no man
5tiould he permitted to yell for JEFF. Davis
IN this city, aud we are surprised that 1t
can be done with impunity. Whenever
there is not moral power enough in the
State and Federal Governments COM
bned, to put a stop to this, then, we say,
apply The thumb screw of physical power,
'Or if it is not stopped, there will be bloody
work here one of these days.

RS=A REBEL LIEUTENANT CAPrUREO.-
We learn from a gentleman just from Jack
son county that Virgil Armstrong was re-
Gently taken prisoner in Ripley, jackson
county, aad conveyed to Spencer, Roane
county, where he was lodgedtn Jail.
Armstrong, about the time the vote was
taken upon the ordinance of secession,
was a malignant and active tncendiary, tu-
citing people to rebellion, and advocating
extreme measures against those who voted
apat INST the ordinance. When our soldiers
invaded the "sacred soil of Virginia" he
enlisted in the rebel army, was elected
lieutenant and was actively engaged under
Wise. Last week, he turned upin Ripley,
a good Union man, sick of the Southern
cause, and protesting to be thoroughly dis
eusted with secession. An army OIL
Ger; who happened TO be ia Ripley, be-
lteving, from the. representations made to
him by Union men, that Armstrong had
returned home more in the character of q
spy than anything else, arrested him. We
understand that the prisoner would be
sent to headquarters.
