miles Of the Southwestern border Of that
State. 1t was opened about two years ago
by party of capitalists, having their head
quarters at St. Louis and is known by the
name of the BI.w and kennet Mine. Last
year it Welded about 115,GG0 pigs or G,000,000
mounds. Unlike the mines O.! Eastern Mis-
souri, and Northwestern Illinois, this is situ.-
ted in Il level prairie Of vast extent. The
supply Of ore has been pronounced nexhaust.

considered The best un the globe, having
scarcely any atlr.ixtures of foreign substan-
ces. The great di culty has been transporta-

rounded the pole for this purpose, when they
were attacked by party Of tories, aome tao
hundred strong, and a general fight enaued,
thc weapons being spades, axes, and clubs.
Being soon oycrpowered, though not till a'tsr
hard fight, the Union men fed carrying
away with them Andrew Knox, John AlleI
and Thomas Kinney, of their party, all very
badly cut about the head with spades. The
first blow was struck by a "peace' man, who

Arrival OF tho santa Fe Mali.

KANSAS CRY, Mo-, Dec 24--The Santa F,
mail, with dates to the 9th inst, has arrived.
The Territorial Legislature met on tho ID
and on the 4.h Gov. Connolly read his annua
message to the joint session of both houses.
The Governor recommends all Indian tribes
to be placed on reservations under very strict
regulations, as the only way to prevent the
constant recurrence of troubles with them. He
advises thorough revision Of all territorial
laws; and says many of the provisions of the
law for the protection OF slave property in New
Mexico are unnecessarily severe and rigorous,
and recommends that they be modified or re-
pealed. ..r-
ln relation to the national strife no SAVE:
am proud to soy that my loyal political fel-
low citizens of New Mexico have manfully re.
eponded TO their country's call and contributed
more than fair proportion Of devotion TO the
Union cause-irom tho fact that when the
strife began, and for sometime after it had
been IN progress, II was presumed by the princi-
pal movers OF the scheme that our territory
would join them In their attempt to pull down
the pillar OF freedom, and rejoice with them
in the midst of the reck and desolstion produc.
ed by their evil Vaccinations. This patriotic
outpouring Of men has removed all cause sof
suspicion which may have been excited in the
minds Of our countrymen in reference to the
position VIC occupy in connection with the war.
A more positive demonstration to our be-
loved institutions cannot be given than that
which New Mexico has in this manner shown,
and be 1t for veal or for woe, this is the posi-.
tion she will occupy to the end.
An Indian force still remained about Fort
Fillmore, but they have not yentured to come
North OF the Jornanda. am glad, however, to
say that our army now in the field is amply suf-
hcient not only for the protection of our people
North of that district, but to expel the invaders
from our limits. This will be done as soon IA
supplies and transportation can DO accumulated
at Fort Craig in quantities sufficient to answer
the demands of the army destined for opera.
tions IN that quarter.
The military commander has made some
wise and judcious distributions of troops which
remain for the protection of our frontiers,. du.
ring the absence of the force employed in the
recapture of the forts dsgraceiully surrendered
into the hands OF the enemies of our Govern.
