ColG--l am happy to be able to inform
your readers that the good work is still
making rapid progress and the Navalos
still come in daily from their mountain
and cavern homes They are natnralls
suspicious, diIatory, aud superstitous; and
the fact that after such . long time for
reflection they come with cheerful resigna.
tiOn to travel. to the Pecos is an assurance
that their minds are fully made up for the
change. lam of opinion that the last
lingering savage will be on his way to the
Bosqrc before the month Of NAV next.
Capt McCabc leaves here on Thursday
next with 500 Indians en- route to Fort
Sumner. .r...t...., ,.- ...r ... .
Our future hopes are most sangGine, and
the people relieved from the dread Of tho
fierce Navajos may now fearlessly engage
in all the profitable pursuits of life with.
out the extreme risk of life and property,
to which they have hitherto been subjected.
Indeed for the rural and pastoral popu.
lation "lifes goblet is" already brimfu Of
content and happiness, and its sparkling
contents shall propheticaly mirrior q
coming age of prosperity plenty and i'm.
provement.
This region is now almost depopulated
(if sncIl a term carries an appropriate
meaning when applied to the removal of
its barbarous inhabtants) and along its
numerous valleys and streams there is
room.for new and civilized community
The portion Of the Navajo tribe that has
escaped towards the confluence Of the San
juan, and the Great Colorado, will either
voluntarily return and remove to the rescr.
vation or sesk some uneSplored location in
that region; but in either case they will
be too far removed from the border to 10
capable OF ever more committing mischief.
The future of this Territory is bright and
pregnant with hope, may God grant that
no malign influence shall occur to mar
the cheerful prospect. 1t would seem su.
pcrerogatory to refer to the cause of this
blessed changein the state of affairs, and
yet it cannot be too often repeated to the
credit of the Gen'l Com'd. Dept that this
cOnsummation has been brought about by
his untiring energy, his perfect know.

themselves comfortable in winter: 1.-THE

eye to health, comfort, and beauty. The
company streets are all one width, twenty
feet. The houses of the enlisted men are
all one size and appearance with q space
between those Of each company, while the
internal arrangements are all nearly the
same each house has two hunks and &C.
commodities four men, Tho most of the
houses are built oflogs, some few ofboards,
but the Dimensions Of all arc the same
Each house is provided with fireplace and
chimney, built of brick, in the rear oppo.
site the ccutre, whils the door opeps out in
'front.' opposite the centre, to the company
street, Now let the reader imagine one
company having twenty four houses, each
other company having the same number, the
dimension oil each the same, and rs follows
ten feet, long eight feet wide, and four feet
high, with four shelter tents for covering,
having regular pitch forming the roof.
Place twelve ofthose in line, fronting leng.
thwiSe, with space Of two feet between
each, the door Of each, opening out on that
line opposite the centre ofthe house, while
opposite the door in the rear ofthe house is
the Fireplace and chimney; place on a para.
llel line, lOavinga space Of twenty feet in
front, the other twelve hus, fronting also
on said line similar to those on
the first line, with the exception Of the front
of each house, which is reversed, 80 that
the doors of each row frcnt the other, lea-
wing the space twenty feet between the two
rows Of houses. This space is. called the
company street The company kitchen,
Eve feet longer than company hut, but
other dimensions the same, is also built
fronting on the first line on the left OF the
frstrow, leaving space Of ton feet from
