much of the way. Sundiu gives ita name to th? I
monntam ju?t east of it, but derived that name I
tor itself from the plentiful cultivation of water- i
melons which formerly prevailed just below it'
on tie rivcr'p edge?madia being the Spanish '
watur"?clon. We remained but u vovy few
minutes in this little place, which had nothing
wortli notice in or about it, except that the
corruls lor stock, and the cribs and contrivances
..rwlTV^ ^C1'? m(xre numerous, better,
und better filled than if the inhabitants had I
been more purely Mexican. It is twelve miles i
Ironi Albuquerque, most of the road beinir level !
ut much blocked in places by large mounds of j
pure sand blown up in by-gone years from the
bed of the river which then ran differently from
what it now does. There are also many lart;e
areas covered with the nitrous efflorescence so
common m all this region, and so injurious to
the growth of useful vegetation. In the better
spots, as at Alameda, considerable truots well re
pay the labor and attention of the former, and
the country within three miles of Albuquerque
may be considered as really tine, which is to be
itiw'ii1 /01. by<ltS being yci'y lcvel nncl thus
capable of irrigation.
We arrived in Albuquerque?whose position
we had long been able to mark by reason of the
tall 1Bag-staff, with the wavihg stars and stripes
at its head, which stands in t]ie centre of the
town?at about midway between noon and sun
eet. But for the air of life and bustle lent to j
it by the presence of somo companies of infun- 1
try and dragoons stationed there in barracks,
Albuquerque would be the dullost of the dull,
but the drillings, und marchings, and displays
of the soldiery ; the smitiugs and hammerings
oi the blacksmiths, aud carpenters, and wheel
wrights; the rushing and driving of the foragers
and tea.ms; tlie going and coming of carriages
carretellas, ambulances, carts, tumbrils, wairona'
carretas, and whatnot-manage to keep a post
like Albuquferque comparatively lively. It has
quite a large plaza, but contains very few shops
or stores, and those quite mean.
The officer in command of the post when 1
was there was Major Howe, of the 2d dragoons.
it i ? ^^anta Fe at the Governor's, i
Ilo kindly invited myself and fellow-travellers
to Ins quarters, very commodious and comfort
able ones, and, discharging the usual hospitali
ses, introduced us to his accomplished and
beuutiful wife. Long used as 1 had beon to see
lew else than the more or less dingy aud vul
gar Mcxicanas, the presence and conversation of
so charming a lady as Mrs. Howe, radiant with
intelligence, spirit, and true feminine reffne
meut, produced in me quite an excitement,
which subsided, when it did, into a conviction, 1
.P9B,hly to? one-sided and severe, of the vast
inferiority of the Mexican sex to their Anglo
Saxon sisterhood. 1 also met in AlbuqueroueI
with a young gentleman, a native of Washing, j
uin, with whom 1 had a prior acquaintance, en-1
gaged in a mercantile establishment. 1'oor
youth .' though in high health at the time 1 saw
him, with every rational prospect of a long life
before him, he has since been compelled to suc
cumb to the ruthless destroyer of all that is
mortal. Erysipelas was the form the destroyer
assumed. J
Albuquerque being the last post north of
Socorro at which forage for our animals could
be obtained from Government stores, I laid in
tolerably largely, by virtue of a general order
*?. , 10 ad been furnished at Santa Fe.
Ihis done, and the auimals hitched in, the word I
was onward! it lieing my object to gain Para- 1
jita, nine miles from Albuquerque, that night, j
Ibis place is situated on the west side of the Rio
raude, and as therefore the river was to lie
crossed, wo obtained from Major Howe a guide,
without whose assistance we should have found
the task greater than it turned out to ?>e, or'
perhaps we could not have performed it at all
lor our mules wero unused to enterprises of the
sort. Tho river flowed in four cbunnols, occu
pying a width in all of about half a mile We
found the right bank tho edge of a vast plain J
of almost Pur? river ff?"d, quite incapable of
SETT1-, w"R sevcro pulling. For more
than three hours did we plod along the dreary (
and savage wny to Parajita, most of tho dis
tance flanked to our loft by an <ic?quit, cut to
carry water from the river to the fields of Pn
rnjita and Isleta. All along here ia quite a
chosen field of Indian assault. The Navaios
come down within sight of-tho American flag,
and steal, capture, und slay what and whom
they will, too often without reprisal or chas
tisement.
Between nine and ten o'clock at night in
doubt whether we had taken the right rond
through a region so waste end guideless, we I
happily alighted upon the miserable village of
l urtj'ta. There are hardly half a do.en tree*
of any kind in the place, und there seems to be
a struggle to keep it from being the prey of the
dusty desert which commences immediately on
its right. Our host for the night was one of
those enterprising young Americans who, bavins
formed a part of the strength of the corps that
invadtd and took the country from tho Mexi
can republic, remained in it after the pence
and married into the wealthier Mexican fami
lies, who, in most instances, seem to be quite
-atisficd with, it not prond of, such alliances.
Me .ad commenced building n new establish
ment in order to have his family to hiuisclf
lor they wore living with his laihor-iu.lttW?
?ind 1 suppose has gone to housekeeping before
now. We were very hospitably treated indeed
oud honored with much politonoss from Sen cms!
f MnM 8?n.' ? Tbu la(ljr *ho form?d tho link
ot kinship and interest between our American
host and the family was not to be seen; for a
??ay or two boforo she had presented her \n
?f<h* fl?? i!?. W'\h, "" ,,eir' of wbich firatling 1
of the flock he could not forbear speaking with
a moderate.! rapture. Of course wo congratu
lated him in due form. K I
i T| H?0fl my fricnd' wI,0? amongst his other
buildings, was erecting a store, if so unhopoful
ooktng A place uj Parajita could make it worth
lus while to do business tlore? He told j
mo to my surprise, that from ten to twenty
thousand dollars of goods per annum could bo
?,'"t off there, and to a good profit. The busi
ness did not depend upon Parajita (pronounced
I arahceta) alone, but customers came from
great distunces The Mexicans buy froely, es- j
occirtlly if they are favored with a little credit, j
though most of the business is dono in cash or
I?rt^i M^oan dollars and doubloons are
th*FUKti>*lvttrr*noy; rhJ it did not appear,
to WO to be }n any wise scarcc, which is no won- j
der; considering the outlay the occupation and j
defence of the country is costing the govern
ment of the United frituteu.
The semi-savage village of l'adillas i* reached
from Parajita by a road running ujojig the bod
of a dry ^cequia, very' sandy, and much crossed
with little puentes or bridgbs. We traveled it
on a HunJay monihig, and met) at Intervals,
many Mexicans and Pueblos going to church or
to visit their friends. Most of the Mexicans
were mounted, and generally two, a mwt and
woman, were perched on the back of the ani
mal, mule or pony, as it might be. The Mexi
can plan of carrying double, when the parties
are of different soxes, iB on every account to be
preferred to the custom in such cases in Eng
land and Amoriea. The woman iiwariably sits
before, with her face and feet towards the
right, in which position akc is steadied by her
male companion's (who of course rides a cnli
fourchon) arm passing round her waist in the
most proteotivo and affectionate way in the
world. Whether it be from any peculiarity in
their nature, or from their good sense, or their
accurate recognition of tho true relation betweon
tho sexes?which, by the way, amounts to much
tho same thing as good sense?1 cannot pretend
to decido, but it is certain that the Mexican
women of all grades and ranks, in one import
ant particular, set an example well worth the
study aud imitation of tho feminine branch of
our transoeadentnlists, who are members of Wo
men's ltights Conventions, advocate " Tom
boy" integuments, aud otherwise unsex them
selves. Intellectual development is undoubt
edly a very great and glorious tiling, but a
woman who out of a passion for the reputation of
a bleu, or a philosopher, passes out of the tiower
garden to participate in the rough culture of
tho world's great field, might dopend upon it
that she will hour, see, aud experience much
that will shock her sensibilities, impair her
future usefulness in her own legitimate sphere,
and leave her to conclude that her stoutest ef
forts will be ineffectual after all. Tho Mexican
woman certainly does seem to understand the
true position and power pf her own aex, and
certainly there is no evidence that any advan
tage is taken of her moderation by the other.
Ill-treatment of a wife is a thing amongst the
Mexicans seldom or never heard of.
Next beyond Padillas comes I si eta, live miles
south of l'arujita and within two hundred yards
of the Rio Grande, across which there is hero
a ford. Islcta is an Indian pueblo proper, and
speaks volumes for that branch of tho popula
tion. The vineyards and Orchards here arc
very superior, aud remarkably well taken care j
of. isletn is quite populous, and contains a j
church of largo size, standing in the plaza in \
the middle of the town. It stands on a high
knoll, commanding an extensive view from
above Albuquerque far down the wild and roll
ing stream of the Del Norte. As it was our
iutention to use the ford at this place, we gave
a couple of swarthy fellows a r al apiece to ac
company us to tlio edge of the stream aud direct
us tho best way, as tho river bottom is very
changeable a# well as full of treacherous quick
sands, to which wc were anxious to give a wide
berth.
A Personal Card In relation to tlie
Llqnor Bill?No. 3.
To the F.ditors of the American Telegraph.
Gentlemen : Tt is objected to the bill, in the
first placc, that tho laws already passed on tho
subject cannot be enforced, are for the most
part dead-letters, and, therefore, why manu- J
facture more, when they too must follow suit,
and share the same fate ?
Now, either this objection is good or bad.
If good, then it is the imperative duty of some
one of tho majority of one, immediately to in
troduce a bill that shall make the officers do
their duty under tho old law, and carry a suf
ficient appeal to, and influence with, the pooplc,
to convert them into aiders and supporters
of tho law's official agents. If bad, then aban
don your uutenablc ground, frankly and man
fully. Confess that you were wrong in giving
tho merits of tho bill the go-by, and, arguing
back from effect to cause, making the ueglect
of your own agents an excuse and apology for
your own omission and mistake.
Let this kind of reasoning prevail, and, my
word for it, no community can count upon secu
rity in life, limb, or property. Kufuse to make
better laws because the old ones cannot be exe
cuted, and you at once insult the moral senso
of the citizens, and make fin acknowledgment
most humiliating and degntding. Meet every
movement meant to reform and improve by the
threadbare argument of anti-reformers, that
we had better submit to present evil than run
the risk of aggravating the disease by attempts
at euro, and you introduce a system alike para
lyzing aud destructive, impotent for good, active
and potent for mischief and ruin.
No, my fellow-citizens! shame on us if we
fold our arms, and falter in the crusade of right
against wrong, virtue agf.inst vice, because wo
tiud unfaithful agents, nnd conniving citizens,
to oncourage them in. their neglect of duty!
Shame on us, and on our children, if here, at
the heart of the Republic, and in this nine
teenth century, so much lauded for its enlight
enment and year.iing after progress, we have
to confess, with blushes on our chucks and de
spair in our bosoms, that the abuse of the
"fire-water,'' tho love of strong drink, cannot
be regulatea, modified, and controlled, for the
want of competent and honest officora to carry
out the luw, a sufficient moral sense to sustuiu
their,, and will nnd independence enough on
the part of corporate legislators to punish the
guilty, and appoint others in their places, wh",
I with proper inducements, and restraints, and
penalties, may be made to do their duty with
out fear or favor.
It is your right, interest, nud duty, fellow
citizens, to see that the ofliccis of the law arc
honest, capable, an l trusty..t It is tho duty of
the appointing power to see also more directly,
that tlie laws aro laithfully executed. It is the
duty of your Aldermen and Common Council
men, to sec that the appointing power, and hia
agents, comply with thoir oblij ions, as far
as the law has invested them with such super
intending and regulating air uority. Vain, then,
let us trust, is the poor apology given for per
petuution of abuse, the degrading and humil- j
inting acknowledgment that the law." of the city
of Washington cannot bo executed, because Its
agents prove unfaithful, nnd public opinion
does not sustain them. Vain the objection
urged against my blU, because ways and mean*
can and will bo invented nnd applied to any
just, fair, and sufficient act, in '?elation to this j
subject, so that officora and poople shnll ail be
compelled to do their duty, and the supremacy
of lav.- and order be supported and seenred.
I pledge myself now, ag I hav? done iti de
bate, to join with fmy ?o*, htftft \wd baud, in

[ Statistics a? Intemfkhanch.? At a recent
meeting of the London Statistical SociS l
veryourious and instructive paper was read by
t. U. P. Neison, esq., on "The Rate of Mor
tal ty among Persons of Intemperate Habits."
? J'ttt ?!voa Peouhar value to Mr. Nelson's paper
is the circumstance that not only does it record
le results of such actual observations on the
subject as he and others have been able to make,
but that "his object in collecting facts being to
a^Fi results to life insurance operations,
with which he is supposed to be connected, (his
results being stated in language and form most
laminar to such insurance companies,) there is
the greater reason to rely that his collections
were made with care. It is to be remarked, as
stated by hinisell, that his observations includu
only well marked cases' of intemperance oc
casional drinkers or frco livers not bciner taken
into consideration."
From his observation iu England and Wales,
Mr. .Nelson finds that the average mortality
among intemperate persons is more than three
times as great as among other classes. In early
.life, from 21 to 30 years old, it ia five times t\9
Sroat. It appears from Mr. Ncison's tables
t. at while, "in England and Wales, a temper
ate man, at 20 years of age, has what the lito
insurance men call an equal chance ("that is i
fair average probability) of living 83.2 years,
tin intemperate ono has tin equal chance of
, yuivj. At 30 years of ago the prob
ability is; for t.io temperate niau 36.5 years
for the intemperate, 13.8 years; at 10 years
old, it is for the two rcspeclively, 28.8 and II G
years."
. ^r- /^ison also states that the average dura
tion ot life, after the commencement of intem
perate habits, is " among mechanics and work
luginen, 18 years: among merchants and traders,
11 ; professional men and gentlemen who have
nothing to do, 15 ; f<-m*les, gonevally, 14 years,
lie notices, too, tho dilFcrcnoes in tho tlian.-cj
among the drinkers of fermented and spirituous
liquors; boer-drmking averaging 21.7 j ear's:
spirit-drinkers, 10.7 ; drinkers of both beer and
spirits, 10.1?which is a new illustration of the
danger of mixing one's liquors."
Mr. Neison estimates the number of drinkers
1'} ,^1*nd ,and ,*>*?? at 33,3oH males, and
If,?J females; being one male drunkard to
every , t men, one female drunkard to every
4-U women. We suppose that this estimate,
terrible as it is, includes only the open and
shameless drunkards. The class of " fretkvwt"
who get "tight" decently, in their own houaes,
after dinner, is not embraced in the estimate.
