In consequence of the inclemency of the season I bave received no news of much interest from the yaountains or the plains for several weeks, and no- thing of a local character has occurred which would attract the attention of your readers. I have had the pleasure, for several days past, of am intimate social intercourse with Major Stein, of the army, who for the last eighteen months has been stationed in New Mexico, and for twelve months of that period was in command at Fort Webster, a post near the sources of the Gila river, and in the territory Occupied by the Apaches, the fiercest and most powerful ef the border tribes, who have for two cen- turies subsisted by periodical incursions into the Mexican frontier provinces. In his efforts to keep this and neighboring tribes in order he has traversed the country for many miles north of the Gils, along the line of the Colorado, and far into Sonora. He carried with him the best mapa which conld be fur- nished from the Tornpeg ont ee ry ein errors ted, marked upon them the “ the names of many our geographers unknown to position, he assures with vast spaces of fertility.

The United States squadron is the largest in China, both innum- ber of vessels, e, and weight and force of metal. Several would return to the United ‘States after the visit to Japan. The Suequehannah and Saratoga have been more than three years in com! , and the entire crews are on one quarter extra pay as a consequence. And the Plymouth has heen out nearly as long; her cruise will bave extended beyond the usual three years before she can be putout of commission.

The gene- ral mail agent of the department, J.

After the search Smith was taken to prison, where he now remains. On a subsequent search of his private desk and trunk in the baggage room, @ large number of post bills, envelopes, letters, drafts, checks and notes to the amount of some $30,000 were found. Also upon his person were found about $800 bank notes, em- bracing the money contained in several decoy pack- ages placed in the mail by Mr. Holbrook. * Smith has heretofore borne # good character, and has been in the employ of the Springfield road, hav- ing enjoyed the confidence of his employers.

Dit be do this? When did he de it? It fa true that after he was srreated he behaved himself imavery becoming manner From the evidense of one of the witoesses for the prosecution it appeara that the Mar- shal rode bask from the head of the procession to the rear, reached the atage, where he was engaged in en- coursging the rioters not to let the vebicle pass, and ia fact directing his men to commit violence om the driver— in fact, diresting them to attack the police and on one Occasion Cirecting them not to allow the police to take sway a man whom they had arrested. Did hr the power he bad the lews would have been preserved. On the part of the defence, it waa showa that he directed bis men to fa'l into their ranks, acd one witoeas said that he entreated the men for God’s sake to fall into their ranks. But where did he do it? It was not in Troy street. He cid it when it was too late. When the man saw the effest produce by his tndiscretion, he endeavored to make some allowance for his mixconduct by allayirg the riot a» much as possible, As well mignt ® men bring out @ carnon ins public place for target purpoees,anc when, by the explosion, it perhaps killed maa: fanocent persons, say that he did not apply the mat with the intention of hurting anybody.

However, bis conduct w! the riot was quelled ‘was crecitable ard becoming ; while, on the sovtrary, it does stand out that there were mes on the sidewalk who, I am sorry to pay, were devoid of all self respect, who offered opprobrious epithets in relaticn to the defendant. Nevertheless, all these occurrences are to be expected when once « riot or Cisturoancs of that patue gets usder way There disturbances are fearfal, and it is vair to limit the line of their i:jarlous sonse- querees.
