NEW MEAlCO.
As everything from New Mexico is now of special
Interest, we give the following extracts from a
letter published in the St. Louis, Missouri, De-
mocrat of the Goth inst.
The following items have just reached me,
which may possess some interest for the readers OF
the Democrat: vote of censure has been passed
against Col. Faunteroy, and memoriaizing the
Secretary of W ar for his immediate removal from
position he has disgraced. And new resolution
was to be introduced on tie 18th requesting the
Secretary of War to change the name of Fort
Faunteroy to anything else. A vote of censure
and a recommendation for removal were also pend
ing over Juoge BiackwOOd. Gov. Rencher has
| also been censured, but did not learn the cause
My Informant goes on to say that on the l1th
inst bill for the repeal of the slave code in this
Territory was introduced by DR.. Whitlock, and
that desperate effort made to reject it at its
first reading; but it carried to the second read
ing by handsome ma ority, and is before the
Committee of the Whole, and a few DAYS will de-
eide its fate. He says that it is possible the bill
may not pass at this session, from the fact that
many of the members who pursued so rash course
against this measure during the last session have
been reelected, and although they still oppose the
bill, acknowledge themselves whipped. One of
the authors of the celebrated report against Judge
keithley freely admits that he was at that time
totally ignorant of the merits of the question:
The reason these members reelected was be-
cause the proceedings of the last House in relation
to this matter have been studiousy kept from the
kDOWleuge OIL the people.
BY the returns made by the assistant marshals
the entire population of New Mexico is "a O7S, in
Guiding the Pueblo Indians who number l0, $40.
The value of the real estate is given at S. 46S 372
and the personal property at Sll $3.50. 276-making

of 81 500, $50.
In the Territory there re &c, $50 families, and

Mrs. HAErUNe, THE ALBANY MURDEREss-The Al
bany Rnickerbocker says:-Mrs. Hartung will have
been confined in our Jail three years in June next
During the whole of that time she has not been out
OF her cell, except to the Courtroom and back
She still retains her good spirits, and hopes yet to
breathe the pure, fresh air of freedom. Her long
confinement does not seem to have had much effect
upon her She looks just as good to day she did
when she entered Did she possess a guilty con.
science, such would not be the case. Yesterday
her mother was with her when we were at the JAIL
The old lady lives about four miles from the city;
yet once week regular does she walk to see Mary,
and bring her such food and luxuries as she deems
necessary. After spending few hours with her in
her lonely cell, they part in very affectionate
manner. The visitors, who were numerous du-
ring the first year or so of her confinement, have
diminished down to few earnest and well-wishing
friends. Mrs Hartung is a beautiful needle work
er, and keeps herself constantly engaged in this
business. She works for a number of ladies, who
no doubt remunerate her literally for her labor
We should not be surprised if Mary Hartung had
realized quite sum of money in this way. A
month or two will decide the fate of this unfortu-
nate woman. Her counsel, VIM j. Hadley, ESQ.,,
IS untlrlng in his exertions. He will never let up
until success crowns his efforts in her behalf.
SECESSION FROM SPANISH YIEw-Iadrid, Feb.
L, lo6l.-ln political circles they begin to be
much occupied with the great drama which the
United States furnish US. The opinion is that two
countries-Engand and Span-are particularly
interested in the revolution in the federal republic
In a commercial point of view, American events |
will affect English interests than those of any
other country; but in political point of view,
Spain is the first nation that should turn its ewes
towards events which might arise from radical |
change in the existence and political and social
condition of the American people.
1t is with uneasiness, then, that the divisions |
which begin to be introduced among the North |
Americans are regarded. 1t is thought that it is |
important to the territorial integrity of Spain, to
her political interests and those of her race and re-
iigion, to arrest the progress of that exuberant
population; though, were it permitted to rejoice at
the Affections of others, perhaps Spain might con-
graduate herself on what is transporting on the
other side of the ocean.
In the meantime, the government proposes to
pay attention, more than ever, to the Spanish pro-
vinces of America, not that they are now exposed
to the slightest danger, but because a watchful
government should always be ahead of events even
when they are yet in the womb of far distant fu-
turity.-Cor. Of Constitutional, Of Paris.
SAD DEATH OF Mrs. CAUsIN.-We recently an
nounced the sudden death of the Hon. John NJ. S.
Causin, formerly of Maryland, at Cairo, H., on
The Goth ult., his return from visit to his
mother at Little Rock, Ark. A letter from the
after place announces the sudden death of the de-
voted mother. The writer says:
~ have to tell you that our dear old friend,
Mrs. Causin, died on the 9th instant of broken
leart. She had no disease, but was taken with a
-ioent pain at her heart when she heard of Johns
leath, and continued suspense in looking for his
,ody proved too much for her. She sat up a few
said she had an indescribable feeling
bout her heart, called for her spectaces and Bible
nd in moment breathed her last. DR.. W. told
ne that he distinctly heard the blood rushing from
he heart. Dear old lady, she was loved by both
ich and poor. Everybody knew and loved her.
she and John were buried this morning side by
ide. Such sad sight!'
Owing to the devastating effects of the severe
routh in the island of Cuba, where provisions are
carce and high, the Government is said to be
bout taking off the duties on corn, rice, beans,
otatoes, rye -four, hay, hams, bacon, fish and
,rd-a of which articles are plenty enough in
be United States, and may be sold to the distress
d Cubans at fair but remunerative prices.
