Several gentlemen arrived in this city on Satur-
day evening from New Mexico and Chihuahua.
Among them, we hear the names Of Messrs. Nc
Knight, Stevenson, and Aubry. They left Santa Fe
on the 10th Of July, and Mr.. Mcknight left Chi.
huahua on the 81 of July. On the l7th, they
reached Independence, having performed the whole
trip from that point and back in ninety-three days,
remaining thirty days in Santa Fe. These gentle
men crossed the Arkansas on the lst Gen. Kear-
ney, with his command, was then al Fort Bent, and
was to have left on the ID of August for Santa Fe
IL was expected we learn, that Gen. Kearney would
enter that town about the 10Th or 22d Of this month
and that resistance would be offered, either there
or at any point in the interior against which they
might proceed.


Business was very dull in New Mexico The
mines almost deserted. Ii was said that the
governor had offered ts the Camanche and Apache
Indians a reward Of IS per head for all the mules
and horses which they might steal from Gen. Kear-
ney's command. They had already lost eighty
horses, ten Of which were found by this party and
sent to Fort Bent They met no Indians, and were
not molested from any quarter. The companies
which left in the spring paid duty Of l2I cents
per lb., or S625 per wagon load.


There were some reports at Chihuahua and Santa
Fe of the march Of nconsiderable forces Of military
towards different points, but no serious opposition
was expected to the entrance of Gen. Wool's COM
mand at Chihuahua, Of which they had heard, or
that Of Gen. kearney, at Santa Fe. Plenty of grass
and water was found on the route between Santa
Fe and Independence, but it was exceedingly ques-
tionabe whether subsistence could be obtained for
Gen. Kearney's command, in New Mexico. Ii is
believed that the army must depend altogether for
subsistence supplies from the United States
