On tlio 17th of October 1811 oftor
ri 1W days rest given to tho mon un
tier General McLcod and during that
tirao 150 mon being hnddled up in a
a a a 1 1 .1 A
room only getting uno ioai oi ugut
bread for a wholo day's ration after
as boforo stated previously to that
we had to livo for near two months
on tho poor ration of pounds
of our poor bocf of worn down work-
oxon and no broad or coffoo wo woro
ill prepared to rosume a long march
of about two thousand milos to tho
City of Mexico. Wo left San Miguel
while a guard of about two hundred
mon mounted upon norses muies
and asses and miserably armed with
bows and arrows lances or worthless
muskets rode upon either side of us
in single filo as we t rudged along on
foot The day on which wo started
was warm and showery. About sun-
down footsore and comploteiy ex
hausted after a maroh of thirty milos
hore I will state that on tho whole
march through Moxioo wo started
about Bunriso marching till near sun
down without a noon's rest or a din-
ner or any repast we reached the
old ruin of tho Tocos in former timos
a mission and fortress but now un
inhabitable and crumbling to decay.
Salczor drove us into an enclosuro
amid tho ruins not fit even for brutes
and without giving us a morsol of
food. Towards tho evening of that
first day's journey I suffered terribly
from colic pains causing me to bend
and twist ; it was probably caused by
eating a very dry hard biscuit given
me by ono of tho guards which bwoII-
ed in my stomach; I fell in tho roar
and a Mexican told mo if I did not
keep up with the command I should
bo shot down. I thought he did that
to frighten me who was but a lad
but it was not more than two weeks
afterwards ere I realized the truth of
tho cruel butchery of men too weak
to travel fast enough. .
Immediately to the north of Tocos
and within a fevf miles rose a lofty
mountain whoso summit was now
covered with snow. On tho other
side of this mountain at its baso we
learned was Santa Fe a towm toward
which wo had traveled for months
but which we wero not destined to
see. We prisoners were stripped of
our coats we had on only pants and
shirts Armijo robbed us of our wool-
en blankets and in plaoo gave "us
a poor half wool half cotton Mexican
blankot Now if the reader roraem-
bers that our journey commenced
af ter tho middlo of October tliat
Santa Fe ia about 36 J north latitude
and in a high altitudo any ono can
imagine how with our scant outfit wo
suffered from cold. And as if to in
creaso ours Bufferings a cold biting
wind sprang up at dusk fresh from
the snow clad mountain and it Boon
becamo bitter cold. We huddled
together like pigs in a sty to ameli-
orate our Bufferings.
Early next tnonung we were order
ed to continuo our march. Salczar
distributed some light bread among
us but not enough by half to supply
each man ; I was fortunate enough to
get some many had nothing to eat

he had taken from our camps and

however the norther changod to such

WASHINGTON LETTER.
iProrn Our Begular Correspondent -
Washington May 12 1884.
The moBt notablo affair of tho weok
was the "groat congress of doctors
numboring twolve hundrod and forty
delegates from all parts of tho Union.
Thoy came hore for tho annual sctsion
of the American Medical association
to talk sanitary science but they
have managed to combine much plea-
sure and business. The doctors have
been shown favor by tho Trosidont
who gave a brilli tnt reception to them
at which thoro wore about thrco
thousand guests. Not only woro the
entire suite of state apartments on
the first floor thrown opon and brilli
antly lightod but the private rooms
including tho President's own cham-
ber on the second floor wore opened
to the visitors and tho corridors and
executive offices as welL This was
an innor glimpse of the whito House
not to be expected and it was much
appreciated by tho visitors. The
East Room was as elaborately decora-
toly with tropical plants and cut
flowers as on any previous occasion
in tho season's gayety. Many officials
were informally invited to meet the
knights of EBCulapius. Tho Tresi
dent was assisted by the membors of
tho Cabinet In addition to tho
President's Reception there have
been numerous dinners suppers and
other entertainments extendod thorn
by private individuals.

Fence-Cutting:.
Tho proposition some English
capitalists at one time entertained to
buy as much of Texas aa could be
had for $0000000 has been declined
on account of the fence-cutting law-
lessness so long rampant in that state.
While by no means disposed to
endorse fence-cuttiug as pursuit-" -
has done good service in this inst-
ance Anything is preforable to an
English estate of a million or so acres
in an American state. The English
landlords who see the end of their
system in England are disposed to
transplant the evil to this country.
English svndioates have purchased
millions of acres in tbe northwest
which in time will be peopled with
their English tenants. English peo-
ple of all classes are welcome as
individuals but we do not want an
English land system. Almost every
man tills his own soil and his great-
est blonder is trying to till too much.
The Entrlifth estate will be divided
into small farms and doubtless well
cultivated but the tenants will bold
at the will of the landlord. The
tendency Cf such holdings is to build
np close distinctions which ia the
end will only be Mtisfiol with dis-
tinctive Li Cos. The terrible condi
tion of the working people of Eng-
land should be a warning against the
BftTrricics that hare produced such
