called on Gen. Pope this morning at
10 o'clock, and had somewhat lengthy
interview. From hurried glance of
the famous mountaineer, while wait
ing q few mements in the anteroom
at headquarters, we judged him to be
j aman below the medium size, rather
squat in stature, of compact, iron
frame, and countenance besprinkled
with slight wrinkles, betokening an
expression of great determination and
reserved power He appeared reserv.
ed, modest, and of retiring nature,
as is often Characteristic of men
of positive character. His coun.
tenance was bronzed from exposure,
and gentleman who met him said,
"There goes an Indian" Kit was
dressed in Colonefs uniform, with
rather broad shoulder-straps, and his
dark hair, slightly sprinkled with
gray, flowed down upon his shoulders
a la aoateyfaU. He wore rather broad
brimmedtelt, and altogether presented
the appearance of a sturdy little man,
destitute of all preteusions. Word
soon camo from Gen. Pope to admit
the two gentlemen into his private
room, and Kit took off his felt hat and
gently bowed himselfinto the presence
of the Commanding General. Col.
Carson served as Brigadior under
Gen. Crocker, in New Mexico.-St.
