FROM NEW MEXICO.
Special Correspondence Of the Pieayunel
Fort THORN, Feb. Six of the "proscrib-
ed' arrived in our lines yesterday. 1t seems as

instead of diminishes as we 90 toward the
ultima thule, where the "stsr of empire" is to
find rest.
learn from these six gentlemen who have es-
caped the clutches of Lncoln's blOodhounds,
that every man in the territory of New Mexico
who dares affirm sympathy with US poor rebels,
is Immediately prescribed, and IS fortunate if he
escape the country with whole skin. These
brave fellows have made an escape which, in
viewing the attendant circumstances, is one Of
the most extraordinary on record. Through the
vigilance of the Federals, every avenue OF es-
cape is closely guarded which leads directly to
our lines, but these gallant fellows, nothing
daunted, determined to Join us at all hazards.
So they made the perilous journey from Taos,
above Santa Fe, via San Miguel, then plunging
into the baron jOrRadOs, and coming in at the de-
serted pos: of Fort Stanton, thence to Donna
Ana, and then these headquarters. After leav
ing the Mexican settlements at San Miguel, they
made the astonishing march Of one hundred and
ten miles in one day and night, without water
all this through one Of the worst Indian coun-
tries on the continent. Think Of this, ye miser-
able slaves of Maryland and Kentucky, who
whine at your inability to come to those who are
fighting your battles look at this, and see that
when man would be a patriot what he must
do
These men give US important information re-
specting the present state Of affairs in New Mex
leo They report concentration Of all the Uni
ted States troops at Fort Craig. Gen Candy,
with fourteen companies Of United States regu-
lars, was at Albuquerque, en route to Fort Craig
besides about four thousand New Mexican vol
uuteers. They represent that Canby's intention
is to fight US at Craig
Gel Green, with his regiment, and Teeps ar
tillery, composing the advance of our army,
took up the line Of march Yesterday for Fort
Craig. The balance of our forces will leave
from day to day, and will concentrate a few
miles this side of Craig. Our army is enjoying
excellent health, almost every man in every reg
iment on duty, and all in the most excellent
spirits at the early prospect of a fight.
We have now accomplished a march of nine
hundred miles from San Antonio, and this
through a country entirely destitute of resources.

The army is entirely Texan, every regiment,
every company Of artillery, every staff officer, is
Texan. We did not care 10 fight the New
Mexicans, but they have dared to raise their
arms against US, and far off we can hear the
wailiug cry Of anguish from the dungeons OF

Corn BEER.-Take one pint of corn and boil
it until it is soft, add to it pint of mOssses and
one gallon of water shake them well together
and set it by the fire, and in twenty-four hours
the beer will be excellent When all the beer in
the jug is used, add more mOlasses and water.
The same corn viii answer for six months,
and the beer will be fit for use in twelve hours by
I Al T. II.
the ingredients used in making gallon Of beer
will not cost six cents, and it is better and more
wholesome than cider. A little yeast greatly
forwards the " working of the beer.-AuguStG

Hon. WEST II. HUMPHREYs-The Wash
mgton correspondent of the New York Post,
writes as follows:
The judiciary committee of the House has re
ported a resolution in favor of the Impeachment
of West H. Humphreys judge of the United
States District Court of Tennessee. The evi-
dence upon which the resolution is based is most
conclusive, showing that Humphreys is full
blown Secessionist and traitor. In December of
1860 he declared for the rebellion, and since
May of last year he has officiated as rebel
Judge in Tennessee. He makes no pretensiOBs.
now that the Federal standard is raised in Ten
nessee, to loyalty, and the judiciary committee
think it is time that be be impeached for his
treason. There are other judges in Missouri,
Kentucky and Tennessee who need looking to
in the same manner.
