LATE FROM New MExICo-John S. Watts
the lately elected Delegate from New Mexico,
on his way to Washington, for which he leaves
on the train this evening, arrived here this
morning, and delivered at headquarters a num-
Der of important dispatches for Gen. Fremont,
etc. He left Santa Feron the 18th of October
and states that the next mail from New Mexi.
CO will furnish interesting news. The occur
rences lately transpiring in the Territory are
favorable to the Union cause, and great enthu
siasm was manifested everywhere.
A company of New Mexican volunteers
under Captain Mink, about two weeks before
Watts left, was attacked in the night at ALI
moss; thirty-fve miles below Fort Craig, by
1l0 Texas rebels under Captain Copeland or
Copewood, and their horses stampeded. About
half of the company was sent out to recover
their animals. The Captain in command
talked of surrenderlng the force, but the men
would not entertain the idea, but seized their
guns, secured their horses, and retreated to
Fort Craig. The Texans made Craig, a
Sergeant, and Lieutenant prisoners, and
seized three wagons and started for the Mesilla.
A force of over one hundred Uuited States
troops and volunteers started in pursuit of the
rebels from Fort Craig, overlook them, killed
their Captain and ten men, and wounded about
thirty, and killed thirty of their horses. The
ammunition of the Federals having become ex-
hausted, they retreated to Allimosa, and the
balance of the marauding Texan rebels escaped
to Mesilla.
A force of twenty one New Mexican volun-
teers had been dispatched to the neighborhood
of Bent's old fort, or Fort Wise, for the pur-
/ pose of meeting there and escortiDg or arming
company of volunteers from Denver City.
While encamped on one bank of the Arkan-
sas, band of illbusters, pretending to be also
Union volunteers, were ensconced on the oppo-
site bank, or at least very close at hand.-
Some of the latter visited the camp of the New
Mexican Union forces, and displayed great
deal of anxiety to gain information. The Cap
tain of the New Mexlcans, very shrewd man,
sent spies among the fibusters and discovered
their designs He sent dispatch to the CON-
mandant at Fort Wise, and the latest infor-
nation was that ffty-one Dragons, under Capt.
Long, and twenty-one New Mexicans, under
Capt. Martin, were between Fort Wise and
Bent's Fort in hot pursuit of the hostile flying
6llibusters Our informant Is decidedly con-
vinced that the next mail will bring accounts
of the total annihlation of the enemy and the
securing af the entire property in animals arms
