Aztec Ruins. Thir ashington Union has published : the 'rough n les kept by Captain Johnson, who accompanied the.e r pedition of Gen. Kearney across t o country from New Mexic to Cat ifornia. Captain J., was killed at, t a battle rit Sant ascal in •California, and this journal has bee published under the direction of 'General Kearney. It is full of interest, and reveals o the world many a scene and spot hitherto unknown. We copy the following eityacteseriAive of the - ruins of Casa de Mantezi ma—t. e house of Montezuma, as it is call by i'e Spaniards, and which are prohabl the w rk .of the former Aztec pus . seams f ,the land:' Noce her 101h.—Marchetkabout 8 o'clock; l i • and aft r marching. 6 miles , - still passing plainsTl rich had once been occupied, we saw to our -1 eft the "Casa do Montezuma." I. rode to i , and found the remains of the walls of four uildinge, and the piles of earth show ing whe e many others had been. One of the building was still quite complete, as a ruin:' the othe a has all• crumbled, hut a few pieces •ekf brolon wall: The large Casa was 50 feet .13y.40,7amdlutd been four stories liiiat the +floorsd the roof, had long since heed burnt lout., Tie- charredends of the cedar, joist were sti lin thq - wall. I examined theth and found they had not been cut with a steel in strum? t. The joists were ronnd sticks, about-lour fetit i In diameter. " There were .four entrances--;-north, south, east and west- 7 :the (loafs abou6foirr feet by two; the rooms "is Whale, and had the stone arrangernenvin each story. :There was no sigp of a fire place in the buildings. The lower story was dined, ulith rubbish, an 1 above it was the open Sky. 'l'he walls were four feet tbidk at the bottom and haul a`curved inclination inwards to the top. The linise was built of a sort of white earth and pebbles, probably -c4ntaining llime, Which abounded ha the gruundadjacent. The Ntrills had been strioutlied outside, an I iplastered insi le; an I the sill - face etill reninin ed firm, although it Was evident they had been exposed to great`heat from the lira. Some of the roams did nit open to all the refit, but had :a holeja foot in diameter- to look through; iif 'other places were smaller holes. About tivo hundred yards from this was a mound, in-a •cireleame hundred card; around the mound. The centre was a hollow, twenty-live yards in diameter, with two vamps uf e lopes guing down to its bottom. Il'wie-, probably a well, now partly tilled up. A similar ' one wa s seen near Meant DAllas. A few yards fur ther, in the same direction, northward, was a lorpce, 100 yards by 70, about live feet high. !%Jpon this was "a pyramid, about eight feet high, twenty-five yards square atop: Vro m this, sitting Tin my !horse, .1 •could overlook the vast plain lying northeast and west, on the left bank of the Gila. Thu - ground in view was slept fifteen miles—all of which, it gould seem, had been irrigated by then eters of the Gila. I picked up a broken chrystal 'of quartz in one of-these pilee. Leaving the Casa, I turned towards the Times, and tray- elling at random - roer the plain, (now covered \with musquet,) the piles of earth and pottery -bowed for hours in every direction" I also found the remains of a skid, which followed the range of houses fur miles. It had been very iarge. When I got to camp I tun a -i them on good grass, and in communication with the. Pimos, who came oat with afrimit welcom:". Their answer to Carson when he went up and asked bur praisions, was, 4 tfiread is to eat, nut to sell—take what yid want." • The General naked ii Pimo who made the house I had .seen. "It isalie Casa de Montezuma," said he. It was built by the son of the most beautiful woman who once dwellediu yon mauutain. She was fair, and all the handsome men came to court her; but In vain. When they came, they paid tribute, .and out of this , small store she fed all people clitte diem ne.And _it.did not diminish.— . upon :m.e.. ner naval, am! she became pregnunt, and brought forth la bey, who was the buil ler of all these houels."

They wanted white beads for what they had to, sell, and knew the value of money. Seeing •us eat, the interpreter told the General he ha I tasted the liquor of Sonora and New Mexico, and would like to taste a sample of that of the United States. The dog had n liquorisim tooth, and when given a drink of Frencit bran dy pronounced it better than, any he had ever seen or tasted.

A Wirt.: KILLEW BY Ilea' ifiusn.trro.—A melancholy accident occurred nehr Troy,"Pa. on Thursday night, of laSt week. Some time in the night Mrs. Pierce, wife of Dr". 3. B.

The rising of the win dow awoke him, and he instantly seized his gun, which was near his bedsi le, supposing that some one was tirying to break into the house. After Mrs. P. had let down the win dow, she advanced tw.vards the be.l-9r. P. called out twice to stop, or he would firs; but she stilt advanced, and be tired, when she was near the muzzle of the gun—the whole charge of short entering her hreast, and she fell dead on the floor. fjo then felt in the bed for his wife, to teill her he had killed some one, when not.finding her, the truth dashed upon him, that he had shut-his- wife: He imme4iutely rushed out of the house, and' soon returner with sew of the neighbors, when the iiwful spectacle befoie them revealed all.

Doniphan, in which the gallant Colo-, nel l is made to say that Gen. Taylor (not "wv" ;lithe Gaiette has it,) "has gained nothingl." Before, however, we proCeed to-show the Pri justice such quotation does the - Colonel, and tholraud attempted to be practised upon the reader by it, lettis settle this charge of our be longing to the "war-loving - clan." ?i h oting Col. Doniphan, the Gazette sayi, he hasy • "just returned from the scene of hostile operations, after performing good service, and may be p`iesumed to have spoken by„ , the card.' " Having "spoken by 'the card,' " thdn; let him.tell who thewar-loving clanl are—whether we belong to it or our neigh 'bee., The Colonel says: i Fellow citizens, th'e spciches Which are shade in opposition to this tear; Sitid to emenate from the peace party; hut I say that they are wade by those who are postponing the peace eternally! i. This is' conclusive on the point—those who make 00 publish Speeches "in opposition to: this wart "are inistporsing peach eternally," consequently the editor of the Gazette must belong to the "war-loving, Clan." • Let our , neighbor twist Liinself out of,this corner if can! , - • But what have we gained by' this war ex claims the Gazette--airl to show that we have gained nothing, quotes the following: Fellow-Citizens: What have we gained by This war? Of Gen. Taylor I can safely speak, having been thringh all his lines tif operation. He has gained ( four diStinguiShed victories, perhaps the most brilliant that have ever been gained op this Continent; and yet i t elfus vitt cd nothing r ' i What gross injustice to quote smelt a' pai:' uffraph,'when the following is so intiffiately connected with it, both by position and senti— ment. Verily, should the Colonel exclaim,! . . "save me from my friends:" _ 1 .- "Iti is true, felloW eitiiens; fliat ibis r vdar has' I not beenr it thuut i s effect.
