the news received by the late express from
manta
Fo4r . LESTEXWORTII i Doe. 21, 1846.
I send you the following items of intelligence,
this day received by express from Santa Fe.
An off ce.r of the medical department of the army'
writes to this effect, under date of the 9th of
Novels:the:, from Santa Fe i " Capt. Grier and
Lieut. Wilson, witlitwo soldiers, (of the Ist
dragoons,) pursued and overtook a large party
of Navajos arid killed two of them, re-captur
ing, at the seine time, a flock of sheep. The
rest of the, eximpany being mounted on poor
mules, could 'not overtake the Indians. The
captain's hor.4c was wounded—no other dam-'
ages done.
An officer Of to Ist dragoons, writing from
un e
Albuqurque, 'r date:of the . 25th of Octo
'bar, says to his correspondent : To-morrow I
'start on an expedition to the South. I have
(at Albuqur,que) . a ' ' soi disant " squadron of
cavalry, awn ; :being 175 men. I would feel
Perfectly satisfied with'my situation, were not
,my conhwank stQruly ineffectual. All of our
horses, you know ; h ave been sent to l'Esscnri,
under the belief that they could not sustain the ,
fatigues, andfno forage, of the march to Cali
' forma. 'When the detachment for the march
was finally made up at Socorro, all of the real
ly serviceable ; mules were selected for it, out
of the companies that were to remain in this
country—so that now I have net only for my
mounts, but ifor my teams, the sorriest lot of
animals that were ever seen. I bad the great
est difficulty in performing ,the march back to
this place, and now find myself - ith scarce the
ability to Sve from it. ' I received to-day a
call upon rue,lxhich demands - prompt attention,
and which requires -the exertion of my utmost
ability. After this:Pacification of the country,
i the Chihuahua traders'eontinued their journey
towards the 'outh, in order that they, might
avail themselves of the Opening. to be effected
for them by the operations of Gen. Wool's ar
my, for the 'entrance of their goods into Cali
fornia. • 1 ,1
It seems that some had trusted too far to
the peaceful!'professionil of the Mexicans.—
' They have all halted about'one hundred and
fifty miles frien here, and having good reasons,
they say, to ibelieve that the Mexicans from
i the settlements of EY Paso, design 'making an
attack on thim,' for plunder, have - written up
for troops !o'iroteet them. The value of their
Property is estimated at half a million of &l
bws. Altltdagh these traders have by their
MI imprudence placed themselves In this dan
ger, yet thel protection of so many American
lives, and of so large an amount. of American
property, is a. matter of great importance; and
I feel it incumbent on me,
_feeble and small as',
is my fine; to make an effort to accomplish
i it. What would I not give to have with me
l a - a q ui L droni of dratoons. Since receiving the
letter from the tradeis, I have received letters
from Geror Bent, the ; intelligence commu

evening last, that a resolution,' calling a ena
torial Conference on the 15th of Februa.ryinext,
to be composed of Delegates from each f the/
several counties inthis Senatorial District, was
adopted. As 'some little' discussion ar4le in
regard to the Matter, andiest the object t& en
tirely misapprehended, we have thOughtia few
words by way of explanation, might not Im out
of place. l'
This District is composed, as is generally
known, of the counties of Wayne, Susq4anna
.and Wyoming. Wayne, ` 4 . taking time by thd

pointed, at her Democratic oMtvention it) Sep- 1

over, by a sort of intrigue and managenierit on
the part of two or three individuals.who
f igured'
largely in the meeting. it is alleged; to support
the one term humbug, and the nomination of
Hon. N. B. Eldrid for Governor, " Thoj reso
lutions adopted by our county Convention be
itig of an entirely opposite character-41e De
niocracy - repudiating emphatically th" .'one
o i
term" humbug, and instructing their de egates
directly the reverse of Wayne:—it is easy to
see that a trifling dfference would arise,l which
would create the necessity for such a Ounfer:
ence as is contemplated. The object is„..?.union
and harmony. and we confidently hope t/
a measure fair,equitable, and frt•quently
ed to in such exigencies, it will be pr/
seconded by our sister Counties.
Army hewn:
THE news from the Army whiclt we
cle to-day, will doubtless be sought will s inter
est. Reports seem to be somewhat contradic
tory, although generally tending to the pinion
that a battle has been fought near!,Saltillo, be
tween Gen. Worth's Divisien (and piebably
the -forces of Gens. Taylor Wool and Twigs,)
and a portion of the Mexiean army ,under Santa
Anna. If this is so the next mail from the
theatre of operations will certainlY4leclitre it.
But we are seriously disposed to be sceptical
as to the correctness of these reports. We
have seen before iu numerous instances that
they have been, to say the least, greatly exag
gerated, and a glance at date.s, and then at the
reports in question, will satisfy us that there is
a possibility that the whole may be 4 farce,
and that Santa Anna is no nearer Saki* than
San Luis Potosi, or even the city of 1314xico. -
The scouts of Gen. Worth reported tli4iiicov
cry of Santa Anna's army about .she '44th of
Deeeinber,•at a distance 0.60 mils f4in Sal
tillo. the distanc& bet Ween thid pi ice and
San Luis is stated to be ,300 miles, and it is
further_settled that he could not perfiirm the
march te the place Where report saysl he was
discovered, in less than eight days: Fence al
lowing the statement of those scouts io have
been correct, Santa Anna must ,have lift San
Luis about the 6th f December. Yet; letters
from that place da d a4l late as the arith of
December, have be n received at New Orleans,
which contain not to least' allusion Or Santa '
Anna's departure. Jl.ndi as sis departure with
from IEI,OOO to 30,000 troops must h4Ve been
known to every inhabitant in the city, the pre
sumption is very plain. that the anticipiited ap
proach of Santa Anna, by Gen. Worth was all
imaginary. However, if it should • p4,ive true
we shall soon-know. • • •
P. S. By last night's mail .we learn that
the speculations above are vorreet. Accounts
from San Luis mention that Santa Anita is still
at that pla' ce, fortifying it against an expected
attach from the U. S. forces. Gen. Worth's
scouts probably mistook aiarge foraging party
of the Mexicans for Santa Anna. Sciwo'have
no fight yet to record. '
