Los VEGAS, New MEXICO, March 12.-
The stage arrived here this morning from
Santa Fe, en- route for the States, and as it
was about leaving here on its way in an ex-
press arrived from Col. Fauntleroy, comman
ding this military department., TO the Com
mandant at Fort Union ordering this officer
to prepare for defence. On yesterday morn
ing, about II o'clock, the people of the capi-
tai, (Santa Fc,) Americans and Mexicans en-
n'dSSc, seeming to have sprung up like " Cad
mus men," we'll armed and in great num-
bers, at once seized and now held Fort Marcy.
Col. f. declined to surrender the Fort, as
was expected, and while in the act of rcmon-
strating with the populacc, the citizen sol
diery rushed upon the works and in ten min
utcs they were taken possession of
Governor Renchcr was the prime mover in
these proceedings, and he now has charge of
all the military equipments and public prop
erty. Everybody Is surprised at this we'll
concocted and efficient coup a. ar,nes. In
brief New Mexico now has declared for and
practically affiliated with Texas and the
South, and the United States is suddenly
ignored and our allegiance changed
Arizona also absoyes her allegiance on the
10th instant
ATTACKING NORTHERN CITIEs-We trust
that the South will soon be in condition to
act aggressively as well as dcfensively. We
have no idea OH the face of the earth of stand,
ing still and being butchered like sheep in ;s
slaughter house: AS soon as possible, blow
should be struck at the populous hives on the
bordcrj and privateers should be fitted ont to
harrass the encmys commerce. The sooner
this is done the better. Already the South
ern army, the different forts and stations,
numbers about thirty. five thousand men
With the accession of the border States this
can be swclled, without an effort, to hundred
thousand of the bravcst troops in the world
We shall then see whether the game of nya
sion which Abraham Lincoln has inauguratcd
is not one which two can play ayat.--Richmon0

ENGLISH VIEW OF Coercion. Pal
merston has again, in n public address, en-
phatically expressed the hope that the ques-
tlons at issue between the United States Gov
ernment and the Confederate States may be
settled without an appeal to arms. The same
sentiment is reitnrated without execution. that
we arc aware Of. by the whole English press.
The civilized world looks with horror and
amazement ut the dire portents Of this fratri
cidal and suicidal strife. The Lincoln Cabi
net stands alone among the Governments of
the whole civilized world in preferriug
bloody arbitament for this American quarrel
All Christendom raises its voice against it;
and even in the North, it is minority elect
ed ruler alono who seeks to involve this ma
ton in such unparalleled horrors The Jour
nails of France. tho most warlike of modern
nations, cry aloud against this most unneces.
sary and iniquitious appeal to battle, and those
of England pronounce the crime of the act
only equalqd by its folly. -
