It was Canby's plan to meet his achievements, form junction with them, and attack Sibley, but SIbley never waits to be attacked At the time of the battle of GIorietta, Canby was already on his way up. Sibev set out to meet him, and our ln- tormant believes, that by the 7th or oth Ot ApTl, he must have met him and had another hght.- Canby's force was about 2,e00, made up of eo0 regulars and } ,00O New Mexican yolunteers.s Sib- ley was moving against him with his whole force.
 Ii he did meet him there is doubt he whipped him again, and is in possession of all west of Fort Union. Fort Craig Is abandoned and blown up.- Canby had but two guns, when Sib!ey had iuii battalion of fourteen guEs, under Feel.

II captured at this point $i5O,OO0 worth of supplies, all of which safely trans 1 ferred to Albuquerque. pr. havanaugh's report is exceedingly rich.

They are now being carried on by gallant young trien1, Maj. Tom. Ochtree. who has been promoted to the office Of A. A. G. He had two horses shot under him at the battle of Valyerde.
 Bill Scumy's charge at Valverde, was character istic. He gave the order, which was repeated by
 the other officers, when he jumped in ahead. crying out, come on, my ragged IT. Texans. Now is your time! Give it to them" at the same time l jumping up and laughing. His humor inspired the boys, and it they went, and swept everything be- fore them.
