New Era of the 20th inst. contains the last items of intelligence from this place. The steamer Rednor arrived at St Louis on the 19th from Fort Leavenworth. Before the departure of the Rednor, Mr. Bransford had arrived as an express from Brent's Fort on the Arkansas.

Urrea appointed in his place; the most vigorous steps were taken to prepare for war?fortifications and military preparations of various kinds are now going on ; that a draft was actively progressing in Santa Fe and Chihuahua, and that every third man of the whole population was taken. The Indians were reported tc be unfavorable to the Americans, and the Mexicans relied much on their aid. Gen. Urrea had despatched 300 troops to March to Brent's Fort and to meet Spier's companies on the prairies and conduct it into to Santa Fe. This was the company that was said to have taken a quantity of arms and amunition In PP mill in i\urctii? r\C ? ?. wj ..MM 1 ta I^UICUIV Ul iV Col. Kearney had sent the United States dragoons. Mr. Bransford states that it would be impossible for the dragoons to overtake them before they would arrive at Santa Fe. Mr. B. expressed the opinion very confidently that before that time Bent's Fort would be in possession of the Mexicans. He also states that Mr. Bent, J. Folger and Francis Blair had gone to Chihuahua in the spring and had been expected home more than a month, and their fail ure to arrive had created the impression that they had been arrested and detained prisoners of war. Nine volunteer companies had arrived at the fort and two others were expected on Tuesday. All the regular Iroops had started for the prairies except 30 or 40. Col. Kearney was engaged in disciplining the volunteers. Horrible Affair.?A Mother Murdered by her Son.?A young man named. Jamps ic ir? jail in Leavenworth County, Ind., charged with the murder of his own mother. The Banner says:? " The fiend in human shape had taken his mother to support?to live with him?he to provide, she to do the house-work- Thus they lived until the old lady's health became so impaired that she was scarcely able to leave her bed, when one day, (Sunday. June 7th,) he came in and ordered her out of bed to get him some dinner, " and be quick about it, for he was going to shoot her." The old lady obeyed the injuuction ; and whilsi she was bending over the fire preparing his meal, he took the barrel of a pistol leaded with powder and ball, and with a coal of fire he set it off?the ball took effect in the upper part of the thigh, and ranged through into the abdomen. She fell bleeding on the floor, where she lay, while this demon and murderer endeavored to stop the blood bv filliner the wound with tow and salt, and washing her with cold water and spirits. He then let her lay till the next day noon hid in his bed behind a blanket, which hung between her and himseli', that his eyes need not meet the dying and supplicating looks of the mother. On Monday she became so much worse he called in the neighbors. As they came he fled ; but justice pursued and overtook him, and he is now in custody awaiting his trial at our next District Court." Postage and the Foreign Steamers.?The amount of business letters now transmitted to Europe annually by the steam ships plying t?~? - ? * 1 uctwccu uustun una JLtiverpool is about 600,000. The sum paid by the British Government to the Cunard line for this mail service, is S 450,000 per annum* and yet the proceeds of postage are sufficient to reimburse the Government for this large outlay. The rate of postage is one shilling to Liverpool, and 43 3-4 cents to the continent ot Europe. Disbanded.?Col.

Gaines, have all been disbanded, and most of them are returning to their homes, These ten eomnanies havn ?-j ? t heavy sacrifioes, and been most grievously disappointed in their hopes and calculations, A Heroine.?During the bombardment of Fort Brown there was a woman in the Fort, the wife of one of the privates, who regularlv and attcntivelv. th? wholn V * time, plied the men at the guns with coffee and other refreshments, while they plied the Mexicans with shot. She gave Uncle Sam's boys gunpowder (tea) while they helped the Mexicans to somegrape. Where the shot flew thickest there was she ; and she frequently lit a soldier's segar from an exploded shell. She is a large, athletic woman, having a frame well proportioned to her big, generous heart. She is now the favorite of the whole army, and being a native ol Indiana the sobriquet every where attaches to her of the 44 Great Western."

Prince Estherhaz}', a Hungarian lord is the richest man in the world, ! His estates contain 130 villages, 40 towns, and 34 castles. One ol his four countr}' seats contains 360 rooms. The number of his shaep must be enormous as he has 2500 shepherds. Jt will be seen what power he can exert, when in addition to his wealth, it is recollccted that he is a feudal lord and holds the power of life and death over his vassals.

When their rations were issued to them in the morning, some of them ate or wasted at breakfast the ration of the whole day, and were much surprised that they had to go hungry at dinner ana supper. But a little hungry experience taught them more economy. Some of them were terribly surprised that their food was not cooked for them, and swore they would starve before they would cook ; but a few week's service will teach them the fashionable accomplishment of cooKing. Une young man, who bad been clerk in a mercantile bouse in this city, was found driving a cart from the river to the fort, and was not altogather pleased that he had been put at such work; but he will probably be benefitted by learning the usefnl business of ox driving.
