Captain Louis l-Vlsculhal who furnished the Mkxii'an an interesting document throwing light upon the history of this Territory at a time of which but little is known, now sends in the following answer to some objections made by W. W. II.

Davis, Ksq the historian, to the theory advanced by this paper at the time of the publication of the document referred to Kiutoii Nkw Mkxu an Mr. W. W. II. Davie in his communication to you dated Doylcstown, IV, Aug.

Olh. 1880, regarding the historical document now iir my possession, which communication was published in the daily New Mexican of August 14th, makes the following eommcut, "In my opinion the warrant of Alunto I'acheco, was for tho execution of some of the conspirators in one or the other of these rebellions, audit is prob-i-ble that he had just come into office on the retirement of Arguello, and to show his leal, 1 believe he istucd the newly discovered warrant lo send to their long homes some Indians who relused to wear the Spanish yoke under Governor Arguello." Now, 1 would call the attention of Mr. Davis to the fact that the said death, warrant had no reference to Indians whatever, but was issued fur the execution ol Spaniards who military men nd were placed along lie line of Indian pueblos on the river by the Spanish au-thnritv to keep the Indians in submission! Governor I'aeheco iu his report to the Viceroy of New Spain, whi. 1. 1- part ot the document referred to, explicitly says that these men had been tried and sentenced fot being traitors to the royal crow by trying to incite the barbarous Indians to rebellion and by sowing the seed of insubordination and revolt among theui, telling them that they owed no obedience to cither king or church, but only to them.

This having beeu brought up against them they deserted their re-sective posts of duly as Spanish soldiers, and fled to New Spain, taking with them all of their property which they could carry off. In the former publication of the document mention was made of the fact that Governor I'acheco had confiscated the house and lands of Juan llamircz, one of the parties nieotioned iu the warrant, which being in a location best adapted for it 011 the banks of the Ilio Grande, between the Pueblos of San Filipe and Santa Domingo, he establishes the same south iirniliiii ll'IIMIS.

Whether other southern states will be enumenUeit in the interest uf the Democrats remains to be seen. In Soilt li ('a mlina the supervisors an euuuieraturs generally are Democrats ami so perhaps it is in the lehiaTiing states. In South Carolina they have by excessive Zeal to secure a large Democratic majority over shot the mark, branded themselves as swindlers and injured their state.

An order lias been received from Washington byr the pustomec officials of this city that the mail line be tweeu Fe and Fort be discontinued after the- 1 5th of August. In consequence of this change the miiiU passing from the one place to the other will from this time' on bu sent around by-Las Vegas.

An order was also received from the Pustoffieo llepartnient providing for a mail line from Simla l'e to the New Placers, two mails per week boiug sent each way. This arrangement has long been desired by many and will prove a great convenience lo persons connected with the extensive mines and enterprises of the Sew l'lacurs. The crime of the pi test at Las Cruees has naturally raised a strung feeling ot indigmiliuii wherever the details of the sfiair have been made known, and not a I'evv of the i iieiiiiis of this faith and of religion liavil taken occasion ou tlo strength of it in inveigh against tho ehureh mid its following. This is wrong and against reason. I hat priests and ministers full oceiisknally is not denied, but ibis is no reason for condemning the faith they insincerely profess.

The church teaches holiness and decries sin, and if its followers act in opposition to its teachings it is no fault of llicdoctrinc. failings against religion on such me foolish and unreasonable.

A party of six men will leave Santa l'e this morning for Las l'lacitas, wlo Jesse Martin made his big find last we.

The party will make the trip in a spring agon, and will spend a day or two in examining the newly discovered leads General liucll reports to General Hatch that having ascertained that all the hostile Indians have crossed over the lino into Old Mexico and are heading for the interior, he has returned with his cointnaud to headquarters at Fort Cunimings. The Atchison, Topcka and Santa l'e railroad company is talking of publishing a pamphlet containing full information in regard to New Mexico's resources and attractions. Such a a work, if properly distributed, will, it is thought by the company, be of valuo both to the rail road and the Territory. DlKI At Santa l'e.

The funeral will tak" place this morning at eight o'clock from the famUy.rcsidencc, San Francisco street. Friends and relatives of the family are invited to attend. A letter received in this city last night states that Mr. David Adams, for merly Sauta Fe agent of Human and McCarthy, and who left here recently in vtry low health, arrived at his home in Pennsylvania in a very critir.il condition, but has since improved considerably. The improvement in the health of Mr.

Adaius will be good news to many persons iu Santa Fe, fur he has many friends here deeply interested in his welfare. A IMkUiikiiIhIioiI I'urly. Information has reached Santa Fe that about the middle of October a party composed of President Hayes, Secretary of War Haiusey, General Sherman and Judge Advocate Major Uarr will visit Santa l'e. Mrs. Hayes, Mrs.

Hauisay, Mrs. Uarr, Misses Sherman and Webb, and Ituthcrford Hayes will be of the parly. President Hayes will leave Fremont, Ohio, about the first of September, when the party will visit California and Oregon. Returning by the Southern Pacific, at the end of the track transportation mr-uished by General Hatch will be mado use of and Fort Craig will be visited by way of Fort Cunimings, whence the party will proceed to Santa Fo ami here spend a few days, after which they will return to Washington. The lalnce Hotel.

The plans for the foundation of the hotel, which, by the way, will be called the Palace Hotel, have been received by the company from Mr. Wheclock, of Las Vegas, and they provide for a building of'Jfi feet front with a depth of 150 feot. The site of the building having already been selected and purchased and all other arrangements having beeu made the company is now ready to proceed with the work. Consequently, as will be seen elsewhere, they advertise iu this issue for proposals for the contracts for excavating the foundation and furnishing atone, which will be opened at the office of Messrs. Catron Thornton on Saturday uoxi.

This places tho enter prise in a tangible form, and the new hotel may now be considered as having been begun. It is hoped that it will be cotuphtod some time in November. It will be oeeded badly before that time, and the company seem aware that it is important to have it finished as soon as possible. Hotel ImprovenieutH. Mr.

F. W.

Mr.

Seligman will do this, however, uuder certain' circumstances, but he thinks that there ia no doubt that satisfactory arrangemcnta will be made and tho improvements commenc ed as soon as possible. The contemplated changes consist of another full story, and a mausard roof, by the building of which the hotel will be provided with seventy odd rooms More than it now haa. The additioua will be handsome, and the building cou verted into an, ornament lo the city. It is thought that the work will be1 finished in two mouths.

The San 1'edro and Canon del Agun Company hive bought the two grams, the San I'edio and the Canon del Agua from the owiicis furtive hundred thousand dolkirs. Ihith the grants are confirm id and patents to lliein issued. Together they eonipiisi thirty six thousand acres' of laud, of which about two thousand acres from irold placer deposils, the re uiaiiider being agricultural ground; and liii'iiiiiains containing L-old upper mine- in various stages of de I'lprtfent Only one of these mines is being worked by the iiiipany at present this having been opened long years ago by the Mi i-eiins and worked for the sake of the gold ore alone, that containing copper being thrown over the "dumps as worthies," This mine has a thirty foot vein, twenty-five feet being copper and the rest gold; the copper averaging thirteen per cent ami (tie gold lilteeu dollars. llie mine is being developed on the plan of the Comstock by Gillette, a gentleman well known in connection with Nevada atid the Mackey mines.

The gold placers supply a living now for many Mexicans who pan the richest gulches, getting Iroin fifty cents to one dollar a pan; hile jjot a surface panful of dirt can be washed which will not return upwards of ILvo or six colors. The company has contracted with an eminent engineer, Mr. Wiley of Hostoii, to place thirty six miles of pie in position, build reservoirs in the Sandia mountains and throw water upon these placers for hydraulic washing. This work is now proceeding ami over three hundred men are being employed on it. These facts concerning the property were gathered by a reporter of tho New who accompanied General Grant upon his inspection of the property; and not a statement is mado here regarding assays orjthe results of panning which was not verified practically during the trip.

Indeed, General Grant Would not accept mere stitamcnt sand there were Hone offered him; ore from the mines was selected by him and assayed while he watched and the process of panning (wu also closely by him. The plans of the company fot obtaining water were scrutinized and the hy draulic works visited. So muelufor the work'of the San l'e-dro and Canon del Agua Company. The Kcituumitt will ace that General Grant has not the task before him of making a lucre "hole pay," while the Intrr Oeroti can judge for itself whether is likely to be much litigation of consequence over grunts confirmed und patented by the United States Government, with no rcT nervation ol mineral expressed. The New Mexican believe the company lo be a sound one: the property is a valuable one; the company has ui (uired it legally and will hold it legally.

And ill the communistic tglk of irresponsible iiewspspers which arc doing all they can to drive out Aipittil from the Territory, will he uf no avail. Mr. Ouro-nny be a very brilliant man and a very fine speaker, but a very con elusive argument for his being allowed lo stay at home while Mr. Luna represents New Mexico in Congress is that during the years when he has before occupied a scat in Congress he aided the advancement of this Territory no whit and it can hardly ha expected that be would do so if given another trial, lie has been proven to he iucflleieiit and Mt.

dam in 11 Madera canm About two thirds of a mile Inun the village ol is l'lacitas. says 1-011, there is what appears to be a large surface deposit -of ualcua ore. which Iiils not as yet been thoroughly ex auiiued. The gold lead which started the whole rush, that was located bv Jessv Martin and others, runs nearly east aflid west and numberless oilier locations been made on the leads eututi- have this; Mattison has five locations, upon which he has three Mexicans at work, this lead running northeast and southwest. Cpon going down there, says he broke off some of the lop rock, pounded it up and panned it, getting three very fine colors.

Kven better results than this have been obtained by panning surface rock. Kve.rybody there is working 011 his locations as best he can with the few laborers to be gotten Mattison believes that me Las l'lacitas boom will beat anything ever heid of before in New Mexico, mid say that a week more will show the truth ed' the assertion. I Mr. Ucorge Hailey who went out to the camp a few evenings since, returned last night. He says that it is rich- est camp that he ever saw.

The richest pay streak, which assays I i- four feot wide, while the lower grade ore, assaying Lt, is apparently inexhaustible Large quantities of this latte ore have been taken out and utilized by Mexicans in various ways and it is said that the corrals of Las l'lacitas are built of the ore. The original owners of claims have been moderate it is said and have oiily taken one claim each, leaving an abundance of ground to' be oivided among new comers. These grow more plentiful all the time and each day brings dnzens of fortune hunters to the cantrip. Mr. ley brought in with hiiu number of specimens, and assays will bu taken today by lr.

ti. Audrews. The assay takru last week. by Dr. Audrews showed upwards off 1, 000, and everybody was then satisfied that this was an immense tiling if the ore was plentiful.

Mr. Rai-ley's assurances set at rest this doubt. and note it ouly remains to bu seen what will be ihe result of further assays. If they are aa satisfactory as that of lust week Simla Fo may claim lo have found the greatest camp iu the country. On rrulay Charlie Thayer will return to Santa Fo and if there ia then aay doubt either one way or the other his word will settle the question.

Coming Thin Way. A geutlemau who came iu 011 the train last night, informed a Nkw Mkxii as reporter that ho intended to head at once for ls Placilas. Ho said that long before he had struck the boundary of New Mexico 011 his way west from the Missis sippi river he heard extravagant praises of the miueral resources of the Territory, and that when in Colorado he was surprised to find hundreds of people who bad come to that state to settle talking ol removing timber south and easting their lota in this section of country. Tho mines of New Mexico, say ihe passengers who are constantly aro bound to draw immigration in this direction, nod it ia llie opiniou of every body that ihe population of the Territory will double itaelf in a year or two. Tbo gentleman above referred to thinks that the.

rush tor this country will commence in a few months aud that the approaching fall will witness a great improvement in the population hciv.r So mote it be.

(If coins it is very hard that southerners should be taxed for making whiskey mid punished for making it and attempting to evade the tax, for the manufacture of whiskey is one of the leading industries of the south and ranks next to the cotton trade The largcM part of it internal revenue taxes comes from whisker. The hciiiovralin potty wishe protect these men in at the law considers a punnh able offence, for every one of the tnanu i type of the southern Dem ocrat and never scratches his ticket. Ho votes it us the consumers of his whiskey drink it-Mraiglit In the south where there is the strongest Democracy, there is the least prosperity. The entire Souih, it is the boast of indiscreet Democratic leaders, pays but nine per cent of the nation's taxes and gets more in appropriations than the north.

"We have to make up for our war-losses "is the explanation of Us people. If there is plenty of whiskey, there is little of wealth, business or national liberality yit lakes little interest ill educational entcrpris-s but furnishes, whiskey, frauds, tcrrorrizing and tsilitifiil bloodshed. And ihi? South has control of the Dciniierntic party, three ijuurters of its representation in both houses being from the South The South controls the party and if the party is allowed to control the affairs of the nation, the treasury will be depleted. Paying only nine per cent of the national taxes, of course the south wants large appropriation-, lis delegates have I drawing, heavily on the treasury for benefit ol tbeii i tates and if their members and power are increased, -the draughts to be paid by the North ill become si ill greater and taxes will be made heavier. In the east these facts are becoming generally know and strong efforts are being made to place the Democracy ol the South in a position where they cannot tax other people to pay for their property.

New Mexico is soon to become a state and her people fhoulil join hands ith those who will help her. The He-publican party has shown that they mean to and ill aid the Territories, and the Democrats have tried in every way to crush them and present their advancement. Shall we give an additional vote to our friends or our enemies' Capital punishment by due process of law, is but little and too little resorted to in New Mexico. Too many localities are disgraced by lymhings before the offender has had the benefit of a legal trial; while in many cases the jails in which prisoners arc confined do not serve their purpose and a criminal waiting trial escapes from custody. Hut just now we have several who stand a good chance of hanging.

The Hepublican Ralifieation meeting in las Vegas Monday night, is spoken of by the (Suzrtte, a paper not as yet pro nounced in its opinions of the relative merits of the two candidates as an nil- iiialified success.

The audience was large and''- enthusiastic and Mr.

Mr. Otero has really too much sense lo meet ail oppoiieut who could completely silence him in argument; and if he bad posscscd us much a desire to spare himself mortification as he haa dis played sagacity iu refusing to moct Mr. Luna, he would have re-fused tho Demo cratic nomination. ietoria is tired and disgusted with lighting Iresh troops and has guio back to Mexico to recruit his eueruies and re ceive roiujhrechieiit of other discontented Indian. 89 long us he is "allowed to uiako Mexico a resting-place, secure from the pursuit of our troops, his depreda lion will continue.

This shows conclusively that the rebellion which resulted iu the driving out of the Spaniards from New Mexico was not concocted by the Indians solely but was tho consequence of the seed of sedition planted by Spanish soldiers, who had beeu placed anidng the Indians for the purpose of guarding tho interests of the Spanish government, and who attempted by inciting the Indi ana to revolt to obtain power and wealth for themselves.

Lotas Taos Conuty. Cel. Win.

Craig who was in the eity yesterday, informed a Nkw reporter that it was his intention to erect a smelter at Taos, where he has extensive mining interests. Col. Craig gives a glowiug account of the future of Taos, although ho saya that he and the people of the county are so certain of the event ual prosperity of the county that they consider it unnecessary to laud it as yet, feeling confident that its vast miueral re source and agricultural and sccuio at tractions will finally become known, and that then the county will be thickly set tled. He says that new men are rapidly cotuiug in and that everybody ia pleased.
