no one known who can so efficient
ly perform the duties of his office,
In his faculty ofremembering names
and faces he was a prodigy. Let
his gaze once rest upon man, and
he knew him forever. To tho fra
ternity he was invaluable. If call
ed upon before the opening Of a
lodge, with one swift glance around
the room, he told ifany unauthoriz-
eu person was present. InfenoloS-
ical speaking, his organs of "indi-
viduality" marked far more than
the highest rate of ~ plus" Of
any person once initiated as a Ma
son he kept in his memory a record
of the degrees subsequently taken,
and Of everything concerning him.

INDIANS ON THE MAIL RoUTE.-
The following letter from Mr., Hob.
son, a very reliable man in charge
of the mail to Ell Paso is interesting
but indicates that more troops arc
sadly wanted in that portion of the
| frontier:
Fort LANCASTER. Dec. Both, 1867
DEAR FRIEND:
! started from Camp Hudson on
the 25th inst. with the mail and an
escort of five colored soldiers, ac-
companicd, also, by Mr. Ed. Gal
lagher and Mr.. Cisario Torres, of
San Antonio. After passing How
ards well, we saw great deal of
Indian sign along t h e road; on
arriving within two miles Of this
place | saw a large trail where at
least three hundred head Of horses
had had crossed the road, and you can
bet that l did not feel very pleasant;
my feelings were somewhat improv-
ed, however, on arriving Mt the big
Hill, by meeting Lieut.. Smith, who
was very uneasy about the mail,
thinking we had gone up certain.
He reported a desperate fight ut
this Post the evening before, with
about 900 Indians who attacked the
camp on all sides and captured all
of the horses and mules belonging
to the Post but 6 or 7, on the sick
list, they also killed or captured
three soldiers. The Indian loss is
supposed to. have been heavy as
many were seen to fall, and head
dresses and six shooters were pick
ed up after the fight. The soldiers
behaved with great spirit and gal
lantry. / had to lie over here one
night on account Of having to use
the same cavalry horses going on.
Started next morning with the same
number OF men, as Col. Trohart,
Post Commander, could not rein
force me on account of having no
horses. On arriving near the Pecos
crossing we discovered one or two
Indians advancing towards us; |
also saw q dust in a ravine not far
off. On arriving within 400 yards
of those we saw they took to the
chapparal on our right and came to
a present arms, with long guns.
The soldiers wanted to charge them,
which / would not allow, knowing
it to be an ambuscade. | had fought
them too often in times of old, as
you know, to be caught in that style
| tHrned around and came back to
this Post, thinking it best to delay
the mail than to lose it altogether
| am waiting now for the down
mail, or some train, to go up, as |
do not intend to risk the trip with
four or five men on broken down
mules, until | can hear something
from above. intend to quit the
line after this trip, as this is the
second time | have missed by n
scratch. The pay is not enough
for the risk, so look for me in San
next month, if | make the
trip safe.
Yours, as ever,

~ to say that his remarks with
reference to the dcletcrious effects

more truth than poetry. We have

Bureau agents were doing the cause
more damage than all tho Conser-

sibly do. 1t is source of thanks
giving, we dare say, to all parties,
that there is every prospect Of its
discontlnuancc next July; at which
time, il we mistake not, it expires
by limitation. General Howard was
