The Abmv.?We learn from an
order from th? War Department,
dated on the 2nd ult.,and published
|n the St. Louis Republican, that
the command of the Western Division
of the army has been asigned
to Brevet Brigadier General
Geo. M. Brooke, in place of Gen
Gaines. The headquarters of the
Western Division are now at
Jefieruon Barracks.

From Santa Fe.?The St. Louis
(Mo.) 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.

been superseded as Governor of Santa
Fe, and Gen. 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

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. Withers'Rigiment
of Alabama Volunteers,
raised and mustered into service
by order of Gen. 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

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." At the dinner given

Cure for a Snake Bite.? A lady
residing near New Albany, lnd.
was bitten on the foot, a lew da^s
ago, by a copper-head snake,
which caused such agony, that hei
life was despaired of. An experiment
was however resorted to
which resulted in a cure. The
snake was killed, cut to pieces
and bound to the wound, which in
a short time extracted the poison
and the lady is now convalescent,

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.
All the seven Ministers, now
abroad, representing'this govern*
inent, are from the Southern
States. In England, Mr. McLane
of Maryland; in France, Mr. King
of Alrbama ; in Prussia, Mr. Donelson
of Tennessee ; in Spain, Mr.
Saunders of North Carolina; in
Turkey, Mr. Carr, of Maryland :
in Mexico. Mr. nf T .nnioi.
ana; in Brazil, Mr. Wise of Virginia.
Volunteering.?It is rumored
that some of the volunteers who
went to Fort Leavenworth did not
find volunteering what it was
cracked up to be. 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. A portion
of the volunteers were dissatisfied,
but would seon become enured to
actual service.?St, Louis New Era.
A Faithful Animal.?The St.
Louis Ueveille nf ihp. Qlaf nl?

letter from " Solitaire," written on

speaks of encountering a character
in the person of Nignor J.
