SrBLEYs SRrG.DE.-The followin from the
Texas State Gazette. gives an idea Of the re
suits Of the expedition under Gen. Sibley to
New Mexico:
THE expedition to New Mexico. part and
portion Of the old defensive poles .inaugurate |
by President Davis, by which he hoped to de
fend the Confederacy BY posting few tn ou-
sand men Mt every assailable point, has proven
to be a grand failure. Our brave troops were
sent to n barren wilderness, and after having
performed prodgies of valor, and defeated the
enemy in two pitched battles, have been COM
PEELED to abandon the country from the sheer
want of something to eat. Long ago. when
Mr. Conraa was secretary Of war, he recom-
mended in his report that the citizens Of New
Mexico be paid for their property and that the
country be abandoned and turned over to the
Indians, not being worth the expense Of hold
ing it, We regret deeply that the lives of so
many gallant Texans, belonging to the Sibley
expedition should have been fruitlessly sacri-
feed The policy Of the government, thank
God is changed; concentration is the order
of the day, aud two large armies, burning with
indignation Mt the outrages committed upon
our unoffending citizens by Lincoln's myrm,-
dons, are now confronting the destroyers, and
wait but for the word to avenge the brutal in
suits we have been SO repeatedly subjected to

gradually filtered away. May the brave rem

Times IN ARKANsAs.-We are victorious
in Virginia, but are falling back in Arkansas,
and the enemy have possession of White river
and east of it, by the junction of the gunhoat
feet and Gen. Curtis command.
We regret to learn the necessity which pre-
vented Gen Hindman from crossing his whole
army over White River and giving Curtis bat
tie. We are told by history, that when the
army of Napoleon or that Of Wellington was
prevented from making a movement planned
by the Commander in Chief, in consequence
of the carelessness or negligence of the quar-
termaster or commissary's departments, that
those functonaries when fou d guilty were
unceremoniously shot, as warning to others.
An army is the same in Europe and America,
and there is as much necessity for the preser-
vatlon Of one here as there. And we are hon
est in the conviction that, wherever there is a
a failure in any department, which defeats an
Important movement of the army. that the
party guilty of the default should pay the
penalty.
But notwithstanding the enemy have White
River, and have formed a junction with their
gunDoats, if our people will be true to thcm-
selves, and unite heart and soul with the COM
manders, we can drive them from our soil yet.
The call is for all to go who can. Let every
man who can do so, shoulder his gun and go
