Tlie following liom the St. Louis Union
.of lite 13ili inst. will le fnunJ interesting:
El Iacu. Ctiiliunlitin. Jnn. 2 1S4S.
Col. Hulls cummnndcil llic three compa-
nies which I accompanied to this place. Wo
arrived here wiihout material accident or in-
convenience on the lClh of Kovemher.
Lieut. Col. Lune with three companies had
preceded us some two weeks. On approach
ing the town he t?ent in advance n parly of
foiiic& oroO men under bkillniun
(brother to the bookseller opposite the Plan-
ter's House St. Louis.) who succeeded in
taking prisoner the notorious Armijo. He
gave l parole and was set at liberty; but
much to the surprise of every one he secrct-
Jy absconded a few nights afterwards and
has not since been heard nl. It is believed
lie is now iu tin-city of Chihuahua. On this
Col. Lane confiscated about a thousand
pounds of soap and some two or three thou-
sand pounds of sugar which he had iu this
place. Befoie running oil he sold these ar-
ticles ton friend of his; but the Colonel be
lieving the sale a fraudulent one refunded to
' the purchaser the amount of money (some
500) he had paid Armip. and tool; posses-
sion of the soap and suga" lor the public use.
The latter came opportunely as there was
not more limn one or two months' supply
among all the Government stores.
The inhabitants ol El Paso were over-
whelmed with fear on the approach of the
Americans. A large number of the weallh-
icst and most respectable fled with their fa-
milies to Chihuahua. This was owing in a
great degree "to the viola'ion ol a woman
.(1 tliink nl Tnmi. on the llio Grande.) by
Kome lawless soldier. The man could not
be identified and therefore escaped all pun-
ishment. Humor and the priests made
much of this unfortunate net you may beas-
mreil. It was currently reported and fully
credited it seems here that ihe men who
were approaching the place were the libera-
ted convicts of our penitenliaries and that
their whole course would be marked by sim-iitir-ucls
of violence. Hence the general
consternation. For some time aller reaching
the place it was a rare sight to see a female
lure upon the streets. Sometimes a pretty
black eye might be seen peering through
a partially opened window; but on delec-
tion ii would be instantly closed with evident
Hear and trembling." On tiding into remote
parts ol the town the pretty sennritas and
children would bound off in the twinkling
. of an eye as though we were '-roaring lions
becking whom iveniiglit devour."
Perhaps 'ou would like to 'know some-
thing of the origin and condition of our pre-
sent hostilities with the Apache Indians. To
begin then from Ihe first 1 will give you only
such facts as I have been able to obtain here
from reliable sources: Several years ago a
most treacherous and disgraceful assault
.which I will presently relate was made upon
the Apaches by a parly of Americans. An-
tprior to that time they had ever been the
friends ol lorcigners. and especially of Ame-
ricans. They were so on all occasions to
such. an extent that the Mexican people firm-
ly believed and openly charged the Araeri-
.eaus wilh a coaliiion with the Apaches for
the purpose of depredations against them. 1
will mention one incident which together
wilh numerous oilier things tended to con-
firm the Mexicans in tins beliel.- On a eer-
lain occasion five American wagons were
journeying from Chihuahua to ibis place.
Several .Mexican carritas laden wilh cloth-
ing. &c lor the soldiers then slntionedjiuhe
Presidio accompanied iheni wilh an escort.
A party ofApnrhes under a superior and ed-
ucated chief by the name of Juan Jose cap-
lured these stons wiihout bloodshed. So
lar from interfering with the Americans in
order to gratify ihem he dressed up his hun-
dred warriors in the splendid unilorms of the
Mexicans and paraded them in great style
tefyjJ3-;3reign friends. In his glee he fa-
cetiously asked bis friends il lip. should not
go down and take the ciiy of Cliihudliu.i!
The Indians kept company wilh the Ameri-
cans about forty miles which was taken for
proof positive by the Mexicans that they were
in secref league against them.
The cause of the interruption of these
friendly relations between the Apaches and
ihe Americans was the following: A trifling
fellow by the name of John Johnson who had
married and lived in the country for some
years became of a sudden desirous of fame
he was determined to do something any-
thing to put his name in the mom lis of Ihe
1 people. Hcsurceeded in getlingtogeiher a
party ofnTtccn Americans ostensibly withthe
view of trading with the Indians. He took
-with liim a swivel small arms and a few
goods into the mountains. He met wilh a
party ollndians under Juan Jose; who had so
uelriendcd him only Ihe year before as to es-
cort w ilh sixty warriors a caravan of mules
-which Johnson then had laden wilh merchan-
dize in Sonora for Ihe Chihuahua market.
On meeting wilh this parly in the mountains
.'ohnson concealed his charged swivel be-
neath hlankels and pack-saddles and display-
ed his goods before ils muzzle. The wily
Indian from some cause suspecting foul
play told Johnson that they had long been
friends and hoped to continue so. but if he
meant to fight ihe Apaches to avow il open-
ly and ihey would fight on equal terms.
The Americans now told Johnson that they
would nut aid in carrying out his intention";
on this Ihe scoundiel instantly fired the swiv-
el himself thus obliging the Americans to
light in their defence. The Indians thus sur-
prised fled without much opposition ; Juan
Joseslood his ground and fought bravely.
The struggle was a hard and long one be-
fore he was despatched. Johnson had so sol-
emnly sworn to his own friendship but a
few moments before that in the midst of the
fight wilh his treacherous friend he again
said "Johnson we arc friends are we not?"
This uncalled for and disgraceful act was
not only condemned by American rcsidenls
in this country but by the Mexicans them-
selves. TIiusIpII Juan Jose one of the most
-distinguished chiefs the Apaches ever liad?--"
This Indian was educated by some Me. icon
who musi have given him the name he al-
ways bore. This man possessed a vcry'su-
pencr mind and I am told by Mr. Stevenson
an old American resident here thai he has
.seen several letters wrillcn by Juan Jose
which in elegance and form far surpass those
of the Mexican officers with whom 1 corres-
ponded. I believe that ever since the above unfor-
tunate affair the Apaches have regarded
American properly as lawful plunder. It is
said that Gen. Kearny made a treaty with
this' tribe of Indians at Saula Fe in the sum-
mer of 1S46. II so the Apaches are answer-
able for the breaking of the treaty. About
the last ofrCovember il.ey stole about a hun-
dred head of Government catlle from "a gra-
zing" in the lower suburbs of El Paso. They
were pursue'1 by Uol. Lane with a hundred
men. lurlhei intj the mountains east. of the
K:o Grand lli.ni the Mexicans had ever dared
to venture. In a secluded canon or small
valley surrounded by abrupt cliffs he found
ihe cattle. The Indians were not seen; they
had killed a fourth or a third of the entile
which were too weak lo be driven off with
much rapidity. A few days after this a pret-
ty strong parly of Indians entered ihe village
of Donna Anna some seventy miles above
t'lis but on the eastern side of the river and
were smn engaged ina fight with the Mexi-
cans. There were four soldiers in the place
who were at first lookers on. An Indian
however seeing fit to fire upon one of the sol-
diers the latter took part wilh ihe Mexicans
and fought so well that the Indians were
scon ut to rout wilh the loss of some four or
five killed and one a young squaw taken
prisoner. The soldiers then left ihe place to
tiring Ihe neivs of the skirmish to Col. Ralls
who despairhcd Col. Lane wilh a slmng
force to Donna Anna with a hopcofbeing
. iibje lo meet wilh the Indians. They Were
warned of the approach of the troops per
haps by some impiudehtnoisemade by ihem.
anil made their escape. Bui they were pur
sued and fired upon; with what effect it is not
known as the skiimfsH look place in the
night. It is thought that a few Indians were
killed.
A few-days after this twenty-five men were
sent lo Donna Anna where they tcmain for
the protection "cf Ihe Mexicans who being
on the east of the river are in the territory
claimed by Texas and arc therefore entitled
lo our prelection.
It was about this lime that Ihe Indians
"stampeded" Ihe draught catlle of the pro-
vision train in the Jornada onits way here
and succeeded in driving off a large number
of Ihem. Wiiliin the Hist few weeks ihey
killed ore man ol a paily of four who were
sent in pursuit of a couple ol horse thieves.
After this Capl. AlrNair made an excursion
into the mountains in the direction of the
Gila along or near the pass lo California.
He did not succeed in meeting wilh I lie In-
dians. Tims end.-" the account ofourdilllcul
ties wilh the Apaches. They lire a numer-
ous but not a brave tribe of Indians. The
Indians that formerly inhabited llic Atlantic
const were the bravest upon Ihe continent ;
and 1 believe it lobe a Isict llial ihe courage
nl Ihe Indian race uudcigoe: constant am
regular iliminuiion from east lo nest uniil
we gel to those un ihe Pacific coast who are
from all accounts cowardly and imbecile to
the last degree.
A rcmaUinhlc expedition was made a fen-
years ago by a party of sixty Indians partly
Shawnees and parlly Di-latvures. Afler
traversing the Plains they I'lissscd over inlo
California and travelled through the culire
extent of tbalcouniry. Thence ihey procee-
ded into Sonoro where I nm told they killed
a large number ol Indians of various Iribes
merely for amusement. After traversing
Sonoro they entered Chihuahua. The Mex-
ican government had out n large reward at
that time for Apaeha scalps and Kirkcr was
then trying to raise a company of Americans
to engage in ihe war. One half of these
Delawares and Shawness relumed home
whilst the other half joined Kirker. They
carried on a most destructive wnrngainslthe
Apaches for some lime surpassing ihem as
they did. in waragcslrcnglh.'and every sav-
age straiagem.
There are oilier educations than those ob-
tained wilhin the walls of learned institutions.
It has always been a rare th'ingfor a Mexican
to kill an Indian and even Americans are
utterly useless in an Indian war until ihey
become familiar wilh Indian customs anil
habits. I venture the prediction that if our
government would condescend lo employ two
hundred Shawnees lo operalc against the
Apaches the latier would he well nigh anni-
hilated in the space of two or three years.
Whereas if she sends her uninfotmed soldiers
upon the Plains she may spend her thous-
ands and tens of thousands before her labors
are rewarded wilh a dozen scalps.
The climate of El Paso far as lam able
lo judge of it is unsurpassed perhaps in llic
world. On our arrival here the vegetation
had not been entirely killed by Ihe. frost and
I nm told that in six weeks from thistiine the
peach will begin lo bloom. Up to this time
I have seen no' snow or rain and very seldom
a cloudy day. The nighlsarc often cold en-
ough lo make a little fire; buf the days are
for the most part so warm as to render the
use of an overcoat entirely unnecessary. The
health of the troops has been quite good; but
volunteers will nlien be guihy ol imprudences
from ihe consequences of which neither good-
ness of cliranie nor anything else can protect
them. One man has died since our arrival
here ol lever; and 1 lost another on my way
down of lockjaw Irom wounds received in a
light. Cniatrr.sand pleurisies are quite com-
mon owing in a great measure lo me close-
ness ofuiooe Iioums.
The number ol very old people in El Pa-
so bears abundant prool as lo the salubrity
nf the air. I hare nowhere seen half as ma-
ny old jicrsiiis of both sexes in the same
number ol population as I have here.-
This place is famous for one other thing
its vineyards. There are but two varieTies
ol 'he grape Ihe while and black. The
black is a naiive grape; and although said not
lobe so good as -ihe white is certainly the
fincsl 1 have ever tasted. A large quanlijy
of wine is annually made and sold in Chihu-
hua and New Mexico. When new it is not
good jit least I do not likc'il: but when it is
two or three years lo use one of our weslern
phrases "it is hard to beat." These grapes
should hy all means be introduced into the
United States.
Noah ai-tch -iiji: tx-Kixc. Major Noah
in a recent nuinln-rof his Sunday Times and
Messenger has a small touch ut Louis Phil-
ippe's manner of taking French leave of his
countrymen and subjects which we clip out
and append : "
I've seen n king at Barllemy. fair
Lookluoic likn a kiug tlaili lbut clinp tlieru!
I too la-rod" &c. Old Sane:
Royalty nut ol luck when grave dignified.
and self-possessed in ils misfortunes has gen-
erally commanded a certain degree of respeel;
but ihe idea of n grand manarquc giving
his subjects leg-bail without a second shirt lo
his back and wilh only a five-franc piece in
bis pocket is so irresistibly comic that sym-
pathy is out of ihe queslion. The ludicrous
flight of the fat King of the French will do
more to bring monarchy into contempt in
France than even the songs of Berangerand
the philippics of Lamarline; for ridicule is a
more powerful leveller than poelry or elo-
quence. Plain's definition of man would
have sui'ed Philippe D'Orleans admirably
as lie scampered from the Tuilcries. divested
of all the gauds and trappings of majesty.
He was indeed a -'two legged animal wiih-
out leathers." Only think of '-the Lord's
anointed" in a tliily blouse shuffling along
the streets wilh her majesty in tow.swealmg
at every regal pore and pulling mid blowing
like a blacksmith's bellows! Who can talk
of the "divinity" that "doth hedge a king"
after lhal7 Why if monarchy should at-
tempt lo re-establish itself in France it
would be laughed down. There is a volume
of philosophy in llic answer lo the old cohun-
drum -'What is majesty divested of its ex-
ternals?" It is indeed a (m) a jest (y)!

The Eviinction or Fiiencii Monarchy.
The Paris Churitari thus comments upon
the completeness of the revolution so far as
Ihe Bourbon dynasty is concerned :
'A single remark will prove better than a
thousand commentaries thai Kings are diad
utterly extinct ! In 1793 ihe first King that
was dethroned inspired uneasiness mid he
was guillotined. In 1S30 Ihe second Ki ig
whom the people deposed was escorted lo the
sea bide and a strict walch kept over him un-
til he bad set sail from Ihe shores of la belle
France. In 1S-18 the people treated the ex-
lung Willi sublime disdain Ihey give them-
selves no trouble whatever concerning him
The King goes wneresoevcrne will no one
looks aller him no pains arc even taken to
ascertain if tie does go or not. A few days
afterwards some report that he is dead and
the reply is ''Ah !" No one cares to be as
sured whether lie De dead or alive. As lit-
tle uneasiness is felt as if he had never been
in existence ! Is it possible to suppress a
king and a w Hole dynasty more completely
or wilh greater generosity t Let us pursue
the career ol dcgralion : "The movement of
17S9 lasted three years. That which result
ed in the resloration lasted months. The rev
olution of 1830 lasted three days. Thc'revu-
lulionol lb4b lasted tnree Hours. Happily
no more revolulions are possible for consider
ing the rapid ratio in which the strength of
Ihe people mcrenses sucn a revolution wuu d
be accomplUhed in three minuets."
The Maysville (Ivy.) Eagle of the 14th
inst. thus speaks of a tornado in the vicinity
of llial place :
'Wc understand that hlleen tarns in one
neighborhood were blown down and their
corneals scattered or destroyed. Orchards.
loresls narns out-houses hay stacks every
thing in its track was carried before the an-
gry siorm. Many lives were endangered
from its suddenness and violence. One ne-
gro man was whirled some sixty paces thro'
the air and lodged in an orchard tree which
fortunately resisted the storm."
