The st. Louis Republican publishes letter from
New Mexico which presents the following dsma
picture of things at Santa Fe:


"We have military establishment wastefuIy extravagan
to the Government but which has sgnsy failed Of
deemng any Of the promises made by General Kearny,
his proclamation Instead Of being the strong arm which
the civil authority depend to enforce order and law and
administer justice TO ALL the sodery have degeneaed into
military mob the most open voators of lew and order,
and daily heap insult and injury upon the people Of the Ter
nory and, matters stand the civil Government is
powerless to grant them redress The border Indians
daily committing outrages the frontier inhabitants driving
of and destroying their stock Against these Indians they
promised protection by General Kesrny and, though
have had for months entire regiment OF soldiers in


son, has been the frontier Onehaf of the
captains of companies do not know the number Of their men,
where they be found and they themselves
be nightly in fandangoes and less reputable places
Of dissipation. The soldiers drilled mustered
and from the highest officer TO the private soldier all is in
subornaion, misrue, and confusion. About oneiith Of
the whole command have died from the effects of dissipation
excepting from this category the artillery companies Of ST.
Louis, and Capt Angneys company from jefferson city
they well drilled, under good discipline, and Of
healthy and orderly.


"The of service of the present volunteer force
expire soon and is to be hoped that the force to be
relieve them may be regular troops, at least volunteers
commanded by officer who has political ASPIRATIONS and
who will make them do their duty The want of ability and
military knowledge in the present commander, added his
inability control regulate his officers soldiers and their
misconduct, can py pouuce e strongest eegs oi disgust
and hatred and desire TO rebel when the opportunity offers
among the native inhabitants Of the country II had
regular force and able officer the whole of the in
habans OF the Territory would be happy and contented c
of the United States Such force would maintain
der and enforce mparay the laws alike against Americans
and Mexcans and all would be satisfied There doubt
that this people easily governed any in the world
but certain that if such state OF things to be found

military civil Government would exist for week. D


rhis state Of things out to be remedied and j, is the
duty Of the Government at Washington TO do speedily
