Arrival Of Maj. ". +. III. Army,
Indian Agent.



MILITARY MOVEMENTS IN THE WEST.
Disposition Of the indians.
Major ". F. II. Army, Indian Agent in New
Mexico, in place Of Kit Carson, arrived in this
city this tTuesday) morning, on his way to
Washington, Us bearer OF dispatches from
Governor Connolly and Col. Candy, Comman-
der Of the Department. Major Army LEFT Santa
Fe on the 1st Of December, and made . rapid
and successful journey over the Plains, avoid
ing the hostile Indians, and reached Law
renee, Kansas, in about two weeks after his
setting out, having suffered but little from
the inclemency Of the weather.
Major Army brings important news from the
West. The military operations Of New Mex
leo are going forward successfully under the
guidance Of Col. Candy, who il the head Of
that Department. He has about :, 600 troops,
regulars and volunteers, and with detach"
ments Of these he has lately taken Fort Craig
and Fort Stanton, which were suf1cn-
dered without struggle to the se-
eession forces. He WIS organizing
an expedition aginst Fort Fillmore, which
was go disgracefully surrendered by Colonel
Lynde Of our army, aud no doubt was enter
tanned Of his ability to carry 1t, From Fort
Fillmore he would send q strong force into
Arizona where a considerable body Of Texans
arc melting the Indians to hostiIities, nnd
otherwise doing mischief; these he Niu drive
ont and await events.
The Indians Of New Mexico, except the
Southern Apaches, were cordially supporting
the Government, and declaring their intention
10 fight wherever and whenever their Great
Father four Uncle Abe) commanded them.
That tribe Of the Apaches had been attacked
by the Confederates, and now are the declared
enemies Of all white men without referenceto
their politics. The Indians on the Plains have
been corrupted chiefly BY the acts Of the
Southern Commissioners who have been
among them, and parts Of each tribe were
about to enter the rebel service. Maj. Army
thinks much careful negotiation and not a lit
tie bold fighting will be required to keep the
Santa Fe road open.
We are glad to say that in spite Of all the
lies and intrigues Of the secessionists, tile
people Of New Mexico have settled down into
steady loyalty to the Government and are
offering their services Us volunteers for its de-
fence. They have not arrived at their present
: determination without great trouble OCCASION
cd by the unfaithfu1ness Of the most
Of the civil officers Of the last Ad-
ministration and the officers Of the
army stationed in the Territory. We need
not say What their tactics were, nor how
grossly they lied; because, since Mr. Lin
coins appointees got to their posts, the i'll
trigues Of the enemy have been neutralzed,
and their falsehoods exposed. In this good
work Kit Carson has been conspicuous. He
is now ct Albuquerque in command Of q regi-
ment Ct volunteers -one Of the ma1nstays o1
the territorial government.
Major Army, as his old friends in Illinois
will be glad to hear, is satisfied with his new
| situation aud pleased with the country. he is
| stationed about ITO miles northeast Of Santa
Fe and fifty from Taos, in rich valley neal
| the tribes with which he has to deal Hi
