ton. There had been conflicting reports Of ell.
gagclnents at MeSil!a ard Los Cruces, in winch
| no reliance could be placed. At last accounts
matters were quiet at Fort Fauntleroy, New
Mexico, though it was impossible to anticipate
what new hostile movements Il day might bring
! forth.
An immense audience assembled last night
in Music Hail. Boston, on the occasion Of a
demonstration complimentary to Captain Thos.

pany With Mr. W. Preston, Ialie his escape
from Frankfort, Kentucky, and gone farther
South.
4 cat. iGus incident has occurred III this city
recently, which shows that toe rebels arc
greatly in need OF arms 4 letter s:as received

for 10 900 lnuskcts, the CASH to bc paid Il. once
and mo questions asked or answered" These
muskets were offered some months ago, before
the war commenced, at three dollars piece,
and it is evident that the rebel government
through their agent Mr.. Lamar, are willing 10
pay eight dollars muskct for them now );
they must be IN desperate strait for such
weapons.
