Tae ProEress OF thc War.
az EWe1l f---- 4
We continue tcreceive interesting and en-
couraging news from the "seat Of war;" The
news Of the past week, though not SO exciting
as general thing, ssthe news of week or
two ago, shows steady progress Of the Union
arms toward the ultimate dispensing Of the
armed bands of the rebel conspirasors.. ss
We have already given full particulars Of the
battle at Fort Craig on the 10Th ult in an arti-
+. Gle copied from the Santa Fe Gazette. We can
not but regret the unfortunate issue OF the fight
and deprecate the cowardice Of those troops
who, instead of turning their backs on the ene'
my, should have succored the brave officers and
men who we're defending Capt. McRAE's bate
nv, a. the cost Of their lives. The rebel Tex
ans. though left masters Of the field, appear tC
have sustained loss equal to, If not greatei
than that on our side. .sia5ss
Later advices from Now Mexico inform us oi
the arrival at Fort Union OF Col. SLOUGH, Of
Colorado, with five hundred and Gfty msn, who
had marched one hundred and sixty miles in
four days, and intended to join Col. CASBY, who
was still at Fort Craig on the 7th inst The
advance guard OF the Iexans was AZ Aigeuo'
nes, forty-Eve miles from Santa Fe, on the 4th
inst. Another oatiie was expected Oe'0'e VIZ
fret of April. -fsU
