Engagement Near santa Fe.

From the Rocky Mountain News-Extra-April It'll
From MI. Kiskadden, Jr., who arrived
this evening from Fort Union, we learn
the following:
That while the Union forces, about
1900, under Brlgadier Slough, were
within Two days march of Santa Fe, Ma
ior Chivington went ahead with three
cavalry companies to reach Santa Fe and
hold it, learning that there were just then
but a few hundred of Sibley's men in
charge of the W
AT Apache Pass, the Major learned
that a BODY of Texans were crossing over
to intercept Col. Slough's command, and
be notified him accordingly.
On Wednesday, the 26lh, an engage
ment took place. Learning that there
was part of a company of Texans within
a few miles, in charge of the provision
wagons, Major Chivington and a few
companies rode out and took the guard
prisoners, numbering Sc. The fifty mule
teams were seized, and the wagons and
stores burned.
The Texans were whipped in the en-
gagement by Col. Slough's command. and
retired. Col. Slough's command were
camped near Pigeons Ranch, and not in
expectation of having any more trouble
on the march, when a re sport was received
that the Texans were again approaching
having been reinforced by three or four
more of their companies, Numbering IN
all at this time. ! 200 strong.
A second engagement took place at
noon on Friday, The 2Sth ult., which las
ted several hours. Both parties ceased
fighting, and withdrew to their respective
camps. within four miles distant, with the
intention of renewing the battle next
day, when it was expected the big
fight would take place.
In the two engagements, Col. Slough
lost, as reported. twenty privates. and
two or three officers. The enemy's loss
was not known, only that four Majors
were found dead on the ground of the
first ballle. Lieuls. Chambers, Of Com
pany G. and Baker, of Company |, were
killed. Captain Cook was wounded, ana
it was supposed. seriously.
Lieut.. Marshall. of Capt. Cooks COM
pany, while travelling Owes the field Of the
first fight, Accidentally shot himself.
The cannon found with the rebel stores
was spiked and buried in a ditch.
1t was expected Col. Candy would reach
the field of action in time for the third
and great fight. If not, and the Texans
should o~verpower, by numbers, Col,
Slough's men, the latter may return to
Fort Union. There are about two hum
dred men now at this fort.
The particulars Of the expected big
battle we shall probably receive shortly.

FightIng for GLORY.

Several soldiers from Prices army,
whom tmilitary necessity" or some
other ~unrelenting necessity has compelled
10 leave their rebel chief, have returned
10 Aichison county, and other counties
in Northywest Missouri. Several have
been in this city. They have found
Jordan a hard road to t~ravel.' Some
Of them received very little money. scant
food, and "no clothes" They say, how
ever. they "were not fighting for money,
but for glory!!" They certainly have
MOI got enough glory to be much burthen
to them. Fighting to destroy what South
ern Statesmen have acknowledged TO
be the .best government on the face
Of the EARTH" all for glory On
the retreat from Springfield to Boston
Mountains, for days together they were
50 hard pressed by Gen. Curtis's Cavalry,
that they had no time to sleep, and some
times not to eat. Many that vent from
near here were young, thOughtless boys,
led away by the sophistry of those they
looked up to as guardians, and they are
now deserving of much more respect than
the towards who induced them to enlist,
and afterwards. 10 "save their own ba-

returned from Prices army, have mostly

told fully one-third have been killed in

Taking and Breaking the Oath.

Among the multitude of evils developed
by this rebellion a disregard for the
sanctity of an oath is one of the worst
Hitherto. among civilized nations no.
thing has been regarded more sacred, or
more binding, than an oath. 1t has been
considered the most solemn manner of
rendering a mans word ~self-binding and
worthy of confidence. Almighty God is
called 10 witness; his vengeance is IN
voked, and his favor is r%enounced in case
the word given is forfeited. But 1t has
been left 10 the leaders of this %grOundless
rebellion and their deluded followers, to
subvert this most wholesome moral senti-
ment, and TO teach a doctrine condemned
alike by Gods law and mans moral sense,
viz-the right to violate an oath.
Oath breaking is one of their most fla
grant sins, and they could hardly have
inflicted a greater injury upon the people
than to inculcate so wicked a doctrine.-
In the first place, nearly all the leading
men in the rebellion were under the most
solemn oaths TO support the government
which they are now madiy e~neeavoring
to destroy. Those oaths were violated
without cause or excuse, and they gloried
in what should be their shame. These
public men and the newspapers at home
justified, approved and applauded even
christian ministers sanctioned their shame.
less disregard of the most solemn lows.
What wonder, then, that there should be
so frequent violation of oaths among the
masses? Thus, one of the strongest
barriers against evil has been demolished
and men are left without confidence in
each others pledged word.
What greater evil could be inflicted on
the rising generation than to take away
this safeguard to virtue? Robbing the
government a~rsenals, forts, posi-ofices,
mails, minis, navy. &c, was nothing COM
pared to the moral injury done to the race
by tearing down this time-hOnored de-
Tense of virtue and truth. The people
will feel aud suffer from this evil long af-
ter all material loss has been repaired
or forgotten. No execFation can be too
deep, no punishment too severe, for its
aulhors.-Ao. Democrat.

The following is an account Of the cap

On the morning Of the 10Th General

unconditional surrender. Olmstead re-
piled that be was there 10 defend, not to
surrender 1.-The fort.
Our batteries Immediately opened fire.
A few rounds shot away the flagstaff, but
it was replaced, and the firing kept up
until sunset. General Gilmore then
placed a battery at Boat Point, only 1000
yards from the fort to breach the walls,
and commenced firing at midnight, for
that purpose, with Parrot and James guns.
On the morning Of the 18th two brea-
ches were discovered on the southeast
face of the fort, which at moor assumed
huge proportions, and about two o'clock
the rebel rag was hauled down, and the
white flag displayed, and the fort surren-
dered, Col. Olmsted stating that it was
impossible to hold out longer, our riaed
shot reaching the magazine, and most of
his guns being disabled.
The Second Connecticut regiment took
possession that night. Union loss, one
killed and enc slightly wounded rebel
loss, three badly wounded and 3S5 prs
oners. One hundred and five prisoners
are on board the Mcclellan, in charge of
Col. Morrell. Aid to Gen. Hunter.
By the Mcclellan we learn that jack
s~onviIle had been evacuated, and our
troops arrived at Hilton on the steamer
