V THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, MARCH 14, 1871. THE FAR WEST. LIFE W NEW MEXICO A rBAIME ON FIRE TH 8 CBAIUCTJCBIBTIca OF MR. IX). Tbe following extraots from a private let ter written by the wife of an offloer of the army now stationed in New Mexioo, contains ome matters of interest. The letter is dated at the camp on Canadian river, New Mexioo, February 18, 1871: "We are camped in a delightful country, and are baring such weather as May bringi yon borne people. Although this south western conntry is more closely allied to utility than to beauty, remarkable and mag nificent works of nature everywhere abound. Yon hear constantly of "grazing countries," but I don't suppose yon have an idea of what grass is down bere. I inclose a "blade" pulled np just back of my lent. It is folded to fit the envelope, but not broken as yet, 'though It may be by the time it reaches yon. (This blade measures six feet!) Imagine, if you can, the grandeur of prairie fires, when this natural bay is burning before a steady breeze travelling at the rate of an ordinary trotting horse, moving in a line of battle, extending from horizon to horizon. One night, at the garrison, though to most of the people bere it is as an old story of little inte rest, we all turned oat and witnessed a pyro teebnio display that compared in immensity with any other I ever saw, as one of these prairies to a city grass plot. The bills on three sides, east, south, and west, were all afire, and the night air clear as crystal, with no moon to counterbalance the effect. It would be almost sacrilege to attempt a de scription, so I'll not attempt to bridle your imagination. Plenty of Indians down bere variety, too. The other day a band of Fawneei from the Northwest, visiting the Wichitas by permis sion, their leave from their reservation ex tending till April, passed the camp. They bad on their gala paint and feathers, and really looked more like picture Indians than the old buck I saw, first entering the terri tory with his piece of blanket, stove-pipe hat, and variegated umbrella. These Indians are an interesting people if they don't carry their familiarities too far. They all know a few words of English, generally more of Spanish, and condense about as muoh talk in a few words and gestures as can possibly be conceived. There was one here yesterday, and I wished at the time yon could have wit nessed the performance. Never think of knocking, oh, no! Walked in, stood just in side the tent about three minutes. Then after we had had a mutual stare lor that length of time, he said "How!" "How are yon? sit down," and I motioned to a stool. He sat down; not a muscle of his face moved, and I continued reading. If he sat there two be sat twenty minutes without saying a word or acting as if there was an animate or inani mate object within ten thousand miles of him. About the expiration of this time he gave a grunt. I looked at him, said "Well?" and waited. He held np two fingers and stmok bis thigh. "Kill how long?" I asked. Then he waved his hand majestically over his bead from shoulder to shoulder, and held np one finger, "flow much?" was my next conundrum. In reply to he which held up one band, fingers extended, and said "bits." I gave him half a dollar. He got np and went out. I called Sam, and the two venison bams just outside the tent were carried to the kitchen. That's a sample. Sometimes, for amusement, I let off a string of jargon at them, and in return got most decisive information to the effect, "Heap talk, no sabe" "no sabe" being Spanish for "don't understand." Some of them are villainous-looking hounds; others the reverse. They are all the biggest beggars in Christendom, and the more yon give them the more they want. Their ingratitude is the only quality that equals their rapacity. They think white men have of everthing in the world, and as much of it as they want, so it's all right. Back and squaw are their synonyms for man and woman. They dress and look bo unch alike it is impossible to distinguish them at less than speaking dis tance. So much for Mr. Lo. The Large Cotton Crop in the South. The cotton receipts of this port are already over 1,00,000 bales, and the cry is, still they come. Every boat comes into port loaded down to the guards, and almost hidden from view by the enormous piles of bales. Mon day morning there were 30,000 bales on tbo levee, whioh had been brought in between Friday night and Monday. On Sunday 12,000 bales were on board of steamboats nearly the whole day, waiting for space on the levee to deposit them. And from all quarters of the Southwest come reports of large quantities awaiting shipment. With ail, too, there remain thousands of acres nnpicked, whitening the fields for miles; there is not the labor to pick them, nor would it pay at present rates. The price of cotton now Is reduced to the rates before the war, and with nearly as large a produot. The wonder is bow this was all done with free labor, and the absence of the negro women from the fields, and in refutation of the pro phecies and calculations of the most sagaoioas and far-seeing. The remarkable favorable ness of the season will account for a great deal, but not for all of this immense produc tion. Much is due to the newly-awakened enterprise and energy of the Southern people. It is now shown what oar people can do; they have, however, other qualities and virtues to praotioe and cnltivate, to prevent the effeots of over production, to save the losses consequent upon suddenly-reduced prices. Prominent among these ore thrift and eoonomy. The waste and carelessness on our plantations are lamentable. The engrossment of tha nUntra in the pioductlon of this single staple pro- uuwo uegieci oi iuobo arm oi saving ana management without whioh no industry can be made remunerative. It is not so much the large crops as the hioh cost at which th are produced that makes Jhe cotton product mis year bo uiue remunerative. JV. U. Time. 1r 1 .i ' jnartn e.

From Claxton, Remsen Sc Haflelfinger we bave received the following new publica tions: "The Heights of Eidelberg," by M. n. Tatem, is a story the design of which is "to place Christianity in its true light to show its preeent and "ultimate effect on the human race its power in soothing every sorrow, in enlightening life's pathway, however dreary." The succobs which the first edition of this story met with has induced the publication of a second, which contains a number of re visions and corrections. The story is one of much interest, and it sets forth a number of religious truths in a foroible as well as attrac tive manner. "The Apple Culturist," by Sereno Edwards Todd, published by Harper it Brothers, is an exceedingly valuable practical treatise on apple cnlture by one who has been engaged in the business from boyhood. The book contains clear and precise directions for be ginners upon all subjects connected with apple culture, and it will be appreeiated by persons who have charge of orchards who desire a trustworthy manual, and who are not able to purchase any of the larger and more expen sive pomological works. "Daisy Nichol," by Lady Hardy, also pub lished by Harper & Brothers, is an entertain ing English novel. "Pen Photogrnphs of Charles Dickens' Readings," by Kale Field, published by James B. Osgood & Co., is a new edition of a very readable work, which the admirers of Mr. Dickens, and especially those who heard him read, will be able to derive muoh pleasure from. Miss Field is an appreciative if not a very well-balanced critic, and if she some times allowed her enthusiasm to run away with her judgment in discussing Mr. Dickens' performances, as she did previously in giving her impressions of those of Ilistori, and sub sequently of those of Fechter, she has the merit of being an attractive writer, and many of Mr. Dickens' admirers will probably appre ciate her gushing descriptions of the little velvet-covered desk, the flower in his button hole, the display of several yards of watch chain, the manner in which the hair was arranged, and all the other peculiarities of the reader and his surroundings, more highly than they would a more dispassionate esti mate of Mr. Dickens' performances. These "pen photographs," making all due allow ances for the overflow of enthusiasm, are really very exact descriptions of Mr. Dickens' various readings, Miss Field, at times, being amusingly minute in her details, and they are at once entertaining in themselves and are valuable as records of a series of perfectly unique performances which will not be for gotten easily by any who attended them. Mark Twain's "Autobiography and First Romance," published by Sheldon & Co., is not an inspiration of the humorist's happiest moments. In fact, the fun is rather far fetched, and Mr. Twain's reputation as a professional joker will suffer in its tenderest point if he does not put forth tome thing a little more laughter-inspiring. Fi om Porter & Coates we have reoeived "Homeward Led," by Jane R. Sommers, a religions story which has considerable inte rest, in spite of some crudtties of style which seem to indicate inexperience in the writer. Por er & Coates a'so send us a paper-cover edition of Mark Twain's "Autobiography," which we bave referred to above. "Saratoga," which has been sent ns by T. B. Peterson & Brothers, is a story of fron tier life in 1767, in which a variety of exciting Indian adventures are narrated in readable style. From J. B. Lippincott & Co. we have re ceived "Irene, by Hathaway Strange, a powerful story of Southern life, which at tracted mnch attention when it appeared in Lippincetfs Magazine a few months ago. The March number of The Sunday at Home, whioh comes to us from the American Tract Society, contains exoellent Sunday mat ter for Sunday reading, from the pens of some of the best English religious writers of the day. The March number of the Chicago Bu reau contains several admirable articles on protection and free trade and a variety of statistical information. The March number of the Penn Monthly, which has been sent ns by Porter & Coates, has several interesting ai tides by able writers. No. 15 of How's Mwica, Monthly con tains twenty-three instrumental and vocal pieces. "The Crystal Cascade" is the title of an attractive composition by Edmund Wol nitffer which has just been issued by Lee & Walker. There are thirteen railroads terminating oa the Illinois shore, opposite St. LouU. "Kosemont, ' tbe late residence of Prince Arthur In Montreal, has been sold by Sir John Kose for $20,000. An Iowa school-teacher, a woman, has betn discharged for forcing a big boy to show her bow ho kitaed the Klr'4 in the wood-house. A gentlemanly artist of West Stockbrld'e, Maes., who was engaged to fresco the Catholic church there, has mad a all the Utile angels club-footed, inuct) to the sorrow of the congre gation. There has been presented to the State His torical Society of Connecticut a piece of the an cient cross erected at Han Domingo city ia com. memoration of Columbus, whose remains were depot-lted there in 1530. Mr. Jones, of Tennessee, would have been killed by getting caught ia tome ma;hluerv but for bis presence of mind, which led him to bug tbe shaft tightly, and revolve with it at the rale of 100 times a minute. Various mysterious ''demonstrations" in a bouee in Norwich, Conn., a little while ago, greatly affected one of its inmates, a lady, who told her frieuds that she felt it "mast be a call for Lr." So deep was the impression ou her mind that even when the noises ceased she be came ill, and a few days ago she died. Jenkins has much to contend with. In de scribing a recent ball at Columbia, 8. C he attempted to speak of Mrs. Theodore Ham mond as "exceedingly lovely in long train and short sleeves;" hut the demoniacal printer made him mention ''Mr. Theodore Hammond exceedingly lovely on the fust train in hla shirt ileeve."
