l'iso, Nov. Glh.lRSD. Editoii Antzoxux, Sm: The green mantle of nature vanishes with each. Meeting hour, and thesero and fulling leaf, warns in of tho jr proach of winter. The Utt petals of the sum summer - mer summer flowers have fallen, and their fragrance wafted far away, upon the " desert air. " The golden-wingedjbutterfly made sportive bathing in the nectar of roses, has returned to its silken cell to dream until Spring shall return again. Tho tnerrjr swallows, with their full-fledged broods, have quit their tiny abodes, beneath the projecting eaves, and lied upon their swift pinons in sarch of moro congenial climes climes-Acnona - Acnona climes-Acnona has doffed her brilliant robes and as--turned one of a dusky j hue, resembling the "dirty black gown," of tho, songciinnoblcd uidow McCree. 'Tis now that " parting day dies like the dolphin, when each pang imbues with a new color. " The sombre days of the Indian Sum Summer - mer Summer brings reflection to the soul, and wc admire the variety of the beauties of nature. The crimson leaf, and brown meadow seem like "old friends in ndversity, " and the heart still cherishes and clings to them. 'Tis now, that many a heart bounds with joy in anticipation of "hog-killinj season," and youths' dream of crackling-bread, and spare ribs. The bare bare-foo.ed - foo.ed bare-foo.ed boy skips like the nimble fwn,'nt the idea of strutting in a pair of brand new boots when winter comes, which brings its sweets as well as its bitters ; and which modern science demonstrates miicd-up with a little whisky, forms the cocktail, said by philosophers to be on excellent substitute foremilk. . El l'nso is rapidly improving, and bids fair in a short time, to vie with the beautiful and flourishing town of Mesilla of your Territory. Through the wise counsels and indefatigable energy of our worthy Mayor, and Aldermen, the City is again supplied with water, thus, giving to the patrons of the Groceries oppor opportunity - tunity opportunity to mix, if they see proper. All classes nnd professions seem to bo driving a fair bu business, - siness, business, nnd the autumn weather, Icnd3 an air of activity to the place. The happy and smiling faces of the Senoritas as they " go ono eyo " on a fellow, from be beneath - neath beneath their robosas, seems to indicate that "peace reigns in Warsaw," and they don't care a fig for the price of corn. The Salooon of Messrs. Cook ,t Cameron, of this place, was last night robbed of $300 there appears to be no suspicion as to who com com-miled - miled com-miled the burglary. The grand feast which is to come off in El Taso de Moxico on tho 8th of December, is looked forward to with much pleasure and the " Col." is now engaged in breaking a pair of now boots for tho bailes to como off on that interesting occasion. The demand for Chihuahua dogs has di diminished - minished diminished very much since tho imposition upon Mr. Reed of a curtly), purchased some months

an individual, to whom I shall denominate the title of Damphool, but who at the bailes, enjoys the euphonious sobriquet of l'elon, vntured across the bonndary lino of the State of Chi Chihuahua - huahua Chihuahua and Texas, and leisurely sauntered through the suburbs of tho ancient and inter interesting - esting interesting city above mentioned. Enraptured by the magnificent and dazzling splendor of the surrounding scenery, und charmed by the soft ami gentle rays of the silver moon, as they peered beautifully through the flickering foliage of the alamos, time sped on fairy wings and Damphool found himself benighted ; however, not being aa entire stranger in these parts, it was not long ere be was ensconced under tho hospitable roof of a friend, and after a few quaffs of the invigorating and delicious vino del pais, in token of affection and good will to his companion, ho retired for the night and wraped in the arms of " Murphy," was soon rambling with old " shmxcs, " in a lovely valley where a crystal brook, o'crhung with twining vines, glid glided - ed glided aofily o'er its bosom, and where the red deer roams and thecayoto lores to dwell such was tho locale of the vision of Damphool, when he was aroused by a knock upon the door, the hinges of which (tho next moment) gave way, with a crash, and the tall figure of a man, stood upon the threshold, and his bright blade gleamed fiercely in the moonlight. Aghast, astonished, and struck dumb with fear, Ho etoodi like bristles roio poor I'ilon's Utile mm ? A few impassioned words are uttered, and the ir.trudiug hombre with the grim visage recedes to the infinite delight of Damphool, who at oncn determines, to " stand tint upon the order of his going," but git up and git. There was (save the chimney) but one getting outplace to tho apartment, but with a single bound, the " rubi rubi-con - con rubi-con is passed," when to his astonishment and dismay ho stands almost within arms reach of four stalwart men, who quietly ndvancod to towards - wards towards him, with a carajo, which to Damphool was like the tap of a drum npon a race course, (the signal for starting) and away all hands go Damphool working beautifully in the lead, and under a tight rein turns a corner, hugging well the inside track; here the ground was level and

The cold weather is producing quite u mania far marrying among the young people of this section. I'rof Hill accounts for this rcmnrka rcmnrka-blu - blu rcmnrka-blu fact, as follows : 1st, both parties Wiethe comforts of this life; 2nd ly, man is a gregarious animal ; and itnlly, woman is naturally super superstitious, - stitious, superstitious, afraid of ghosts, and don't like to slumber, in the singular number, no how, henco the resut, for " si -A is life," Ycrgcr of Islctta informs me that his old stock soured, and that he sold it out to Parson's for vinegar; he gives a grand bahe tonight and will open a fresh barrel. I anticipate the pleasure of being present both nt the lapping and tripping. Much attention has recently been attracted to the subject of Silver Mines, throughout this region ufoouiitry, owing to the discovery by Mr. Samuel MoCulBn ofn rich stiver lead, lo Cited twelve miles to the N'. K of this place, and about fifty uiltj S. V. of the celebrated Stephenson mine, near Las Cruces, in your Territory, which discovery has given rise to the general belief, that rich deposits of silver, and copper exists in the mountains, ly ing in tho vi vicinity - cinity vicinity of, and to tho East of the Itjo Grande. Should future developments sustain this con conclusion, - clusion, conclusion, it must prove the dawn of a new era, to this the iulk-way-house op the coxtixext. There are many gay Lotharios in and about this place, aud it is frequently amusing to listen to their romantic stories, after a moonlirht

The only clue appertaining to it, is the discovery the next morning, that Dain Dainphooi's - phooi's Dainphooi's stockings did not mate, being of differ cnt colors, and one of them being much longer in the leg than the othsr, and bearing upon it the impress of a garter and " sich is life.

Sufiice it to lay, Damphool made good his retreat, and gained the river's shore, from ! whence he embarked for Texas, in a dug out, anil reached the opposite shore in safety, lifter running his craft aground on n mud Hat, in I 36,2l, and one mile due East of Skillcorn's i blacksmith shop. His appearance, upon reaching the Grocery i is indescribable, nor can any one hardly imag.
