A True PATRIoT.-The Houston Telegram

State, be forthwith undertook 10 return lhith-
er. The journey had occupied two years when
be reached Houston, during which time he
encountered dangers, surmountei Obstacles,
and endured priv.tiuns and sutfrrings that
no ordinary man could have triumphed over.
lie has travelled about l,OOO miles by wa
ter, over 1850 miles on foot by land, and IN a
terrible country for foot travellers, and will
have travelled fully 1000 miles besides in va
rious conveyauces. and sll tue time exposed
to hardships and dangers of which ordinary
men can have no conception. Besides this ho
has sacrificed position, pruperty--evcrythlhg,
to offer his services to his native country III
the war in which she is IVY ergaded.
Many of our people have taken q good deal
Of pains to keep out of the army. We doubt,
however, il any manin the Confederacy has
done as much to get out of or into the army
as Judge Clrary has to titer hs services TO
his native State. We glory in his heroic for
titude, and point to him as a bright example
of tie stuff of which the mel are made who
are now striking for liberty in this the great.

From the Kama City Jour. Con
The New Mexican Trade.


The trade with New Mexico is one Of daily in
creasing Importance, not merely to Kansas City,
its centering point Of outlet and Dgress but also
to the whole country. 1t is unique trade, car
ryng one, in imagination to the lands of deserts,
and great caravans moving over trackless wastes
with their precious freight. The great Santa Fe
road, over which this commerce moves, is one OF
the longest and best natural roads in the world
The traveller across the uniuhabittd prslres of
Kansas, is astonished upon striking broad, we'll
beaten highway, stretching on mile after mile TO-
ward tho far West" Ever and anon, be will be-
hold train composed Of immense covered wag-
ons, drawn by six yoke Of oxen each, scattered
along for miles in the road or, at night, Camped in
a circular and strongly arranged corral, with hun
dreds Of oxen aud mules feeding upon the ada
cent praires.
As soon as the grass begins to start in tho
spring, so as to afford the teams partial support,
the advance trains start from the various parts Of
New Mexico for Kansas City, land Journey Of
from six to eight hundred miles. A little later
the full tide sets in and keeps up until July or
August. By the frat Of June the road is crowded
with trains going both ways--the earlier trains
already returning laden with goods, aud the later
ones coming in laden with wool. About the
first Of September the trains commence to arrive
on their second trips, and the arrival and departure
Of trains is then constant until late in the fall
The magnitude Of this trade may be estimated
by the number OF wagons, cattle, mules &c, en-
ployed in it. During the year 1862, there were
over 5000 wagons 20,Sl2 oxen, S,4OO mules and
6lS horses engaged in this vast carrying trade,
transporting over eight thousand tons Of freight.
The trade the present year is still heavier. We
have made some inquiries Of the chief houses in
ou- city engaged in this trade, and learn that up
to the first Of July, five houses had loaded one
thousand three hundred and eghty-dve wagons,
carrying 6,4S2,928 pounds Of freight. The busi-
ness held up more than usually active during the
month OF July, so that it would probably be safe
to put the spring trade Of this year at 1900 wag-
Ons and 100000 pounds Of freight.
Many Of tho New Mexican traders purchase
their goods from first hands ia New Yotk; Others
in Chicago and ST. Louis while very large aud
increasing amount of purchases are made bere.--
Thus a single grocery house, IN that business has
sold already this year, between two and three
hundred thousand dollars worth Of groceries to
that trade while one Of our heavy dry goods
houses has probably crowded the same figures
closely in sales Of dry goods.
We probably speak within bounds, when we
say, that the New Mexican trade Of Kansas City,
for the first six months Of this business year. will
amount to considerably more than one million Of
dollars. ..... ....
Another branch ofths trade which is assuming
daily greater degree Of importance, is the wool
business, New Mexico abouuds in sheep, Even
