First sentence: Santa Fe, August 15-Today, in consequence of information having reached headquarters of the concentration of the Utahs near Albiquin [Abiquiu], Orders No. 32 have been so far modified that Captain Ker's company of dragoons, now stationed at Albuquerque, and Captain Chapman's company of mounted volunteers, now stationed at the Placer, instead of moving on Jemez, are to proceed to Albiquin, and, in conjunction with Major Grier's company of dragoons and Captain Valdez's company of mounted volunteers, the whole under command of Brevet Lieutenant-Colonel Beall, effect, if possible, a peace with the Utahs in that quarter, or, failing in this, prosecute a war against them.
