It would be an act of great injustice and ingratitude to recall or su- persede him; that we cannot believe the people of this territory will be guilty of.

Drop all preferences for men and partes, and look with an eye single to the welfare of our common country. The Indian Tribe: New Mexico, THEIR HOSIILITY—THE MUBDAKOF MR. WHITE. _A correspondent of the St. Tapia, (Mo ) Repub- licam writing tram Los Vegas, New Mexico, under date of December Ist. gives the following history of the various Indian tribes who imhabit that sec- ton of the country:—The Navajos, who inhabit the country west of the Rio Grande, number abont se- ven thousand. They have been hostile for the last fifteen years, but their hostility has occasionally been interrupted by a short and treacherous The iuhabitants of New Mexico have annual been laid under heavy contributions to replenis! their flocks and hurds. They are more indus- trious and are further advanced in civilization than any other Indians bordering on the country. They have no permanent habitations, but cultivate corn largely and wheat to a small extent; make blankets trom the wool of their herds of sheep, some of which are valuable und of rare beauty. Some ot the fruits common to this climate are also cultiva- ted by them. But the great source of their wealth consists in their horses, goats and sheep, of which Ubey bave ummense numbers, and which, toa con- siderable extent, have been stolen from the New Mexicans and Puevlo Indians. A single Navajo will frequently have fifteen or twenty thousand head of sheep and goats and five or six hundred horses. These horses are small, but of a superior quality end will run for many hours without tiring, Col Washington made a movement agninst tiem last summer, and, in a skirmish, kille pal chief, butatterwards made a treaty of peace | with them, with which they have failed to compl in every particular, and have since commutted depredations than all the rest of the Indians ©o) bined. Their chiets have bat liule influence an authority over them, and it will be a ditheult mat- ter ever to make a lasting treaty with them, uotil they have been soundly whipped t | The Eutaws inhabit the north and northwestera fropuer, and number between four aud five thou- sund. They are orave, athletic, and warlike, sub- sisting entirely upon plunder and the game of the country, Their ouly articles for tratlic are their horses, and dressed skins of buffaloes, bear, and deer. Thetr hortility is of but recent date.

He found upon his arrival there, several open graves, caatatnina toro, three, and four cottios, no grave being closed until it had received at least two coffins. Some of the graves were marked with the names of those who slept beneath, vic tums to fee mania of the nineveenth century. But, melancholy as 1s this record of the dead, 1t 18 a brighter picture than that of the sullerings of many who are at present crowded into Sam Francisco, from the mines, euteebled, without money, friends, or home. They wander about the town, gaunt misery stamped upon their faces, and often sustain life by digging clams and muscles upon the sea shore, and by fishing, findin a# lodging at night perhaps in the tent of a she if not, in the open street. The late fire, by de- creasing the number of buildings at the momeat that the beep was rapidly increasing, bas added greatly to the suflering ot this class of per- sons. ith this lacrease of misery, comes also cume.
