Fort Union, New Mexico, Feb. 1, 1852. To the Editor of the Whig and Courier From this obscure comer of the world I have a few moments to devote to gossip with you. If we were seated cozily to the discussion of two social pipes of tobacco, and the weighty affairs of the day, it might possibly occur to you that since we last rim our legs under the same mahogany, for my part, have been going to and fro in the earth like unto that gentleman in black who took such remarkable pains to annoy our Oriental friend Job, of whose patience much has been said that really is exceedingly creditable. The popular superstition of an age not so practical or matter-of-fact as this, was of sufficient strength to sustain the belief that a certain descendant of Abraham had the reputation of being one of the greatest travellers going.

Though not one of the immediate connections of this distinguished personage, I sometimes think I have inherited some of bis nomadic propensities for you will readily admit that my wanderings more than equal the fastest Jew on record. I believe I have been nearly every where north of that neck of timber there at Darien, since I last saw you. I have been going onward and onward ceaselessly like Time himself and as the present glides by that old gentleman, and fades dimly away into the obscurity of the past, so has the whole wilderness of the West rushed past me with its prairies and mountains, its rivers and rocks, its herds of black buffalo, its tribes of red savages, its snows and its floods, and its fires, and its whirlwinds, its sweet sylvan glades and its beautiful flowers onward and onward like an endless panorama covered with the variable pictures of a confused dream. I never could get down to a detailed description of this acquisition to our territory known as New Mexico for, though it might be perfectly correct, it would be the most tedious thing to read you can possibly imagine. However, I will try to make a little outline of the country, so that you may have something of an idea of its practical value.

In the first place in travelling from Missouri Westward, you gradually emerge from a timbered region, and eventually find yourself out on the open prairie, with not a tree in sight except here and there at long intervals, where scattered groves fringe more and more faintly the different streams which you pass on your route. Finally not a bush or shrub is visible the grass which at first wss tall and rank has given place to that which is short, crisp, and curly as the hair of the buffalo and the uniform level of the country on every hand is only broken as you drop into some deep barranca the arid bed of some mighty torrent of the olden time. After days of travel, the monotony of which is only broken by the appearance of buffaloes at first seen scattered like black dots over the grey and yellow of the plains, and at length increasing in numbers until herds of thousands come thundering past you, with the ground trembling under their tread, and their course marked by a dense cloud of dust even long after they themselves have cone from sight over the edge of the distant horizon. After days of tedious travel diversified, perhaps, by a view along some river bottom of a distant Indian village with its white conical lodges surrounded by large flocks of horses and mules, and troops of naked boys and girls running hither and thither or wading across the different channels of water, or racing up and down the level sand bars or of chocolate colored men, naked to the waist, whether regarding them from head to foot or vice versa with quivers over their shoulders and bow in tlieir hand, rushing on horseback into a moving torrent of buffaloes or of long haired women wandering up and down the shores, gathering drift wood, and followed by huge white dogs with diagonal yellow eyes, Bharp noses and pointed ears I say after days and days of travel, marked only by some such sights as these you finally see rising from the horizontal line which has surrounded you with its never changing level, the blue peaks of the distant mountains. Eventually as you go on, their serrated points appear at regular intervals, and bound the view in looking Westward, by one continuous chain stretching from North to South as for as the eye can reach.

They are the Rocky- Mountains, the great back-bone of North America. If the prairie which lies at their feet were a great ocean of water, then they would be its mighty coast. When you have reached this mountainous region you have reached New Mexico de facto that is, the first of the country settlements. You must bear in mind that although you have travelled over an apparently level plain, you have actually gained an altitude of six thousand five hundred feet above the level of the sea when you arrive at the foot of the mountains. The country is very dry except in August and September, when nearly every afternoon there is a thunder shower.

The consequence is. there can be no land cultivated except near a stream, where by building dams and digging ditches, the water can be carried through the fields situated along its (banks, and let on to the growing cfopg of corn and wheat at sueb periods as experience hs found to be necessary. This manner of cultivating by irrigation, is the only one practicable throughout the whole territory. These streams of Water are by no means frequent, nor are they of even a respectable riser although many of them are dignified by the name of river." They ere often more than a day jbneney apart. Just where they emerge from the mountain yow find the little mud villages end ranches the1 inhabitants.

After a few miles, at farthest, out into the plain. these streams lose themselves is-the perched earth, and then all fertility 'U3 frtgani) (Hoarier. John S. Savwaxq- SMtor. TBCBUDAY.

ACH II, 1858. Nettr Mexico. We 'Commence to-day the publication of a rery interesting letter, descriptive of New Mexico, written by Brrt. Major James Henry Carle ton of the V. S.

Army, who is now on duty in New Mexico, with the efficient branch of the army to which he is attached, the Dragoons. Capt. Carleton is an honor to Maine, hi native State, as a gallant soldier, a close student, a vigilant observer, and an accomplished writer. The citizens of Maine feel a very just pride in such a man. His duties to the government have kept him almost constantly engaged in long and severe marches for several years past, with the exception of a few months after the battle of Buena Vista, in which he actively participated.

He has several times traversed the great plaina to the Rocky Mountains, and is now on his second visit to New Mexico. In this active service he has acquired a large experience, and eminently fitted himself for any emergency which may arise. The letter we have from his pen will be read with deep interest, as it is fresh from a new country, and although written almost literally on horseback, is marked by the fine descriptive powers of its well known author. Capt.i Jacob Drummond. 1 Death is ever busy.

He has taken another from the circle of our substantial business men, who gave character and reputation to the city. Capt. Drummond was a man of unblemished integrity. A man whose word could be relied upon: a friend of labor: of systematic business and of great promptness. In hi8 early life he had followed sea, and accumulated property.

Some fifteen years since he removed to this city, purchased an interest in the Mills now known as the Drummonds Mills and which he has since improved. He was a man of benevolence andObristian charity. By the confidence of his fellow citizens he filled for one year the office of Mayor of the city, to general acceptance. The departure of such a man from our midst seems a public calamity, and all feel that one of the pillars of society has been broken. He had the confidence and the respect of all.

For one or two yearn he has been greatly afflicted with the palsy, and yesterday passed away to the spirit-world to engage in the higher uses of another sphere. py We are requested to give notice to all those ladies who are disposed to aid in getting up a Tea Party at the City Hall for the purpose of making a contribution to the funds for the City Missionary, that they' are invited to meet at the Common Council room in the City TT.11 on Monday afternoon next at two oclock, for the purpose of making the necessary arrangements. The City Missionary has no for his services he is dependent upon the voluntry contributions of the friends of his missions, and as the sums so far contributed fall short of an adequate support to his family, the method of a Tea Party has been suggested as the moat appropriate ard convenient for the purpose of raising the necessary amount. ty The Boston Journal states that the officers having in charge the Royal Mail Steamship America, Friday evening discovered between 1000 and $5000 worth of Lace Goods rolled up in a quantity of soiled linen, which liad been taken from the ship. The goods were A.

ml in a wagon which had been employed to carry the linen to the Chelsea Laundry, lhere were several packages, and the goods are of a rich and eostly description. The discovery was made by Capt. Stanwood, Inspector of Customs, as officer of much intelligence and shrewdness. The America has been seized by order of Collector Grcely. As yet, no arrests have been made.

Vigilant exertion are made to ferret out the smugglers. It is supposed the goods would have been taken from the wagon by the smugglers, while on the route from Cast' Boston to Chelsea, as they could be easily carried under the arm of one person. EVThe Jeffersonian, this week, has succeeded in getting off the remark that all the papers that are now found abusing and misrepresenting Kossuth are of the radical old Hunker smd Abolition stripe. If the effersonian will take a peep at Congress, it will find some of Ts own party who are no great friends of the mission of Kossuth- The fact probably is, that the Jeffersonian cares much more about snaking political eapital out of Kossuth, than helping the eause for which the accomplished Magyar eloquently pleads. Wo pronounce the statement of the Jeffersonian a falsehood that the Whig has in a single instance abased or misrepresented Kossuth.

It has been reported that at the recent election of town officers in Skowhegan the issue was rum or no rum and that the rum party triumphed, Manns Miscellany, however, dacUsas that tb present board of officers are temperate, mopl and just men. The Miscellany bfi Just dosed a volume and will be suspended for a season and perhaps finally. ty The Boston Traveller states that two men named Enos Onus bee and Silas W. Bum-pus war killed on Friday morning on the Boe-aonanh Maine Railroad St the Mystic draw, while walking on the track from Charimtovm- Tar taainn were approaching st aha same time from opprair directions, when tha Boston train ran- ores them tsons behind, killing both instantly. at once all the stock that belongs to a whole village.

This is what the Highlanders in Scotland called in the olden times levying blackmail. It is a pleasant pastime for the Indians, and is generally attended with but little or no danger for the Mexicans are badly armed, and have inherited a great horror and fear of their swarthy neighbors. At times the Mexicans get up a little hunting party and retaliate by following the robbers and again getting possession of their property. But these occasions are exceedingly rare. So you will perceive that the raising of crops is attended with great labor, and can only be carried on where a stream of water may be found while property invested in flocks and herds is liable at any moment to change hands without any Buch Conventional ceremony as counting, or the making out of bills of sale.

The Indians in thus gobbling up the live stock of a town, usually contrive to gobble herdsmen and all and in this way they have managed to secure a great many Captives who become very useful to them, not only as herdsmen for the same cattle and sheep with which they are already acquainted bi as men of all work, who contrive to make themselves generally useful about the lodges and on the march. The only tenure by which such captives usually retain their hair is that of hard work and no grumbling. If they get sight of their homes again it is usually after all the cattle they have guarded are consumed, and it is necessary for the Indians to make another raid. To be continued. ty Last week a young married woman, residing, in Claremont, N.

gave birth to three spanking boys, each weighing eight lbs. This is material aid toward the next census of the Granite State. We would call the attention of onr friends to the advertisement of Mr. Benj. a-Cobs of Boston, to be found in another column.

Han-Hannibal Hamlin, and Hon. Israel Washburn, for documents recently received by them. Washington, March 9. It is announced that the Japan expedition is designed to keep an eye on the Sandwich Islands, and be in readiness to check any movements which Louis Napoleon or any other foreign power may be disposed to make against that nation, Hon, Henry Clay has so for recovered, that he will probably appear in the Senate in a few days. Steik Fire Engine.

Experiments are being made at Cincinnati with a steam fire engine, which promise to supercede the- necessity of manning the brakes. In 4 minutes and 16 seconds after fire had been applied, steam was raised and the engine set in motion, and in 46 seconds more water was forced through 250 feet of hose, and thrown a distance of 140 feet from a three quarter inch pipe. A Btream was thrown from 120 to 130 ieet steadily for fifteen minutes. From the Rochester Democrat. Mr.

Editor: The following beautiful lines, written by N. Coe, of the Postoffice Department in Oregon, whom many friends remember here with admiration, were recently published in the Oregonian, addressed to his Pearl in this country. The Echo, by the loved Pearl, communicated to a friend here, is equally beautiful Knowing that you will be much gratified, as well as many others, in the perusal of these gems, I send them to you for publication. Yours, s- s. OREGON.

Mr. Soule presented a petition to remove obstructions in Red River. Mr. Cass introduced several remonstrances from Pittsburg against intervention in European affairs. Mr.

Hunter reported a bill amending the act relating to the coinage of half and quarter dollars; also dimes and half dimes. Mr. Stockton presented the resolutions of New Jersey, relative to the producers of coal and manufacturers of glass and iron ordered to be printed. Mr. Miller moved to print 2000 extra copies of Mr.

Hunters coinage report. After some debate the motion was referred. Mr. Bayard presented a resolution referring to a Select Committee the plan lor printing the Census according to the Maryland specimen, and that they report any or what alterations are required before printing. Objection was made, and the resolution was laid over.

Mr. Sumner offered a resolution, that the Committee on Naval Affairs, while considering the question of aid to the ocean steamers of the Collins Line, inquire whether the present charges on letters per ocean steamers are unnecessarily high and burdensome, and whether something might not be done to reduce rates. Some debate occurred as to the proper committee to refer to. The resolution was finally laid on the table till to morrow. Mr.

Stockton notified the Senate of his intention to introduce a bill giving to the sailors who served in the war with Mexico certain bounty lands. A petition from New York citizens was presented by Mr. Seward, against restoring flogging in the Navy also for the freedom of public lands. The Senate then resumed the consideration of the Iowa Land Bill, and Mr. Underwood spoke at some length, replying mainly to the objections which his amendment had raised.

Mr. Borland took the floor, when the further consideration of the bill was postponed till Wednesday next, in order to allow Mr. Seward to speak on Mr. Clarks non-intervention resolutions to-morrow. On motion, the Senate went into executive session, and shortly after adjourned.

Tn the House After the usual opening business, resolutions of the legislature of Louisiana, relative to the transportation of the mails, were presented. The House then took up the motion to reconsider the vote ordering the bill for the relief of Col. Mitchell to be engrossed. Mr. Stewart proposed to postpone the subject sixty days, upon which a debate ensued, and on its conclusion Mr.

Stewart withdrew his motion to postpone the subject. Mr. Marshall of Kentucky offered a substitute to the bill, which was agreed to, and the bill passed the House. The House then went into Committee of the Whole on the Homestead Bill. Mr.

Fitch delivered a lengthy address upon the subject, and said he would vote for the bill if properly guarded. He reviewed the Compromise measures, the tariff when Mr. Wilcox took the floor, but yielded to a motion that the Committee rise, which was agreed to. Mr. Houston reported the Army Appropriation Billj which, on motion, was committed to the Committee of the Whole.

After the transaction of some further business of no great interest the House adjourned. Maine Legislature. Augusta, March 8.

Our citizens were deeply affected, on Friday afternoon last, on learning that our fellow citizen, Linus Coe, had been killed by the noon train on the Hartford and New Haven Railroad, at the crossing between Newington and Berlin. The particulars, as we learn them, are, that Mr.

Coe had gone to Hartford, in the 8 oclock morning train a case coming on that day before the Superior Court in Hartford, in which the Middlesex Mutual Assurance Co. was defendant. Mr. Coe being a Director in the Company. On his arrival there, he procured a horse and carriage and left for New Britain.

On Mr. Coes arriving at the crossing, hs waited for the train to pass down, and unaware, probably, that the two trains passed each other near the spot, he attempted to cross the track a double one at that place when the up train came upon him, the locomotive striking the horse and wagon, and throwing Mr. Coe an the wagon on one side of the track, and the horse the other. The train was stopped, and a number of passengers got out among them several gentlemen from this place and on proceeding to the spot, Mr. Coe was found lying on his face, dead.

On examining him, only a very slight pulsation of the heart was perceptible. which soon ceased- It is supposed that he was thrown from the' wagon with such force aa to deprive him of breath instantaneously. There were wounds on the back of the head, and also on his wrists, and a gash on one leg. TTU body wss taken into one of the cars, of the train by which he met his death, to Hartford. The remains were brought to this city, in the 8 oclock evening train.

A large number of our citizens had assembled at the Depot, who formed a long procession, and proceeded with th coni 40 hi residence. Q. His funeral was attended from the North Congregational Chart, on Sunday afternoon, by a Urge concourse of citizens. 1 Mr. Coe had been a prominent citizen, having been Sheriff of Middlesaex County, for several years Judge of Frobata for the District of Middletown and at the time of hie death was Secretary of tha Middlesaex Agricultural So-rirty.
