NEW MEXICO NRws

KANSAS CITY, Oct. 20.
The Santa Fe mail and Canon City Ex-
press reached here On Saturday in advance
Of schedule time.
Business is dull throughout the Terrific
ry.
The volunteer force in New Mexico num-
Der $500 men, 5000 of whom are in march
ing order apd expect soon to be employed
in active service. Their destination is to-.
fional reinforcements. The Indians report
a large body Of troops marching from the
west, and many think it may be the Cali
ifOrnis force so anxiously expected; if so
they design on their arrival attacking the
force in that region from Texas.
The Camanches aud Utahs have been
locking horns together near Maxwell S
Rancho, originating from theft committed
by the Utahs, in which they obtained a
hundred head Of Camanohe horses. The
Camanches followed to obtain their prop
erty, and in the struggle one Of their num-
Der was killed.
The Indians on the Plains are now
peaceably disposed to the Whites, having
received their annuities at the hands Of the
Agent.
The Surveyor General, Clark, arrived
safely, coming through the States by the
way of Omaha. Judge Watts came in az
passenger by the stage. All quiet here.

The Breaking Of nIuIe..

The Western correspondent Of the Gin
einnati Times writes thus Of the war pre-
ParatiOns in one of the camps;
In the amusement OF mule breaking,
now being practised here, there is now and
then an amusing incident to record. All
the various regiments here have, for tho
last two or three weeks, been engaged in
the pastime of mule breaking, for the pur-
pose Of providing themselves with the
means of transportation, in which sport
many an incident and an accident has oc-
CURED. The boys, after providing them
selves with ropes, enter the large pastures
where the mules are penned. Selecting out
the finest and est.lOoking ones, they first
succeed in placing the rope around their
necks, not, however, without sometimes
getting good kicking. After securing
their prey they tow him out on to the road,
to first learn him submission in the way of
leading; the mule sometimes upsettiDg the
whole kit Of them, at others dancing q
"Wigeon ping" on his two hind legs, and
then again balancing himself on his fore
legs, with his heels straight up in the air.
The boys sometimes, when the mule takes
a running notion in his head, get a turn
around post with the line, bringing his
long cared highness up with a round turn,
upsetting his apple osrt, heels over head.
After having overcome little Of his nat
ural stubborness, one of the boys some
times conCeives a notion of enjoying ride
upon their backs, from which they are
sometimes as unceremoniously thrown as
when you put your finger on o flea and
be amt there After having enough Of
that kind Of sport the mule is then put in
harness and attached to a wagon with the
hind wheels blocked. One end of breast
line is then attached TO the head of each of
the ightheeled chaps, with three or four
able-bodied troopers attached to the other
end. fsrious means are now resorted to
make them draw, which would do credit to
solicitor Of an outside show. A series of
coaxing hallOOing whispering, and curs-
ing is resOrted to to start the wagon.
Fence rails, rocks, clubs, sticks and stones
are employed as propelling agents; and
when they do conclude to move, they 60 it

cord, by which he commanded the U. S.
