HOW W. H. ANDREWSSTANDS IN CONGRESSCaptain George H. Pettis, of Provi dence, Rhode Island, Advises Candidate’s Election.boardCaptain George H. Pettis, who is Btat-e sealer of weights and measures of the state of Rhode Island, and an influential and prominent resident of the city of Providence, keeps track of New Mexico affairs by reading the New Mexican Review to which he has been a subscriber for many years.Captain Pettis served gallantly and| meritoriously as an officer in the First Regiment, U. S. Volunteer Cavalry, which was an important part of the so-called California column, which under the late Brigadier General James H. Carleton, U. S. Army, marched into this territory through southern California, southern Arizona and western New Mexico in 1862 and was a part of the force that compelled the Rebel forces to evacuate the southern portions of this territory which they had entered in force from Texas.Captain Pettis has the following to say concerning the nomination and standing in Congress of Delegate W. H. Andrews: \“I see by the ‘Review’ that you are going to send Andrews back to Congress. This Is as it should be. Certainly every old soldier of the Civil war should be friendly to his election. In a conversation with Representative Adin B. Capron, from the western district of Rhode Island, he spoke very highly of the capabilities of Mr. Andrews, and said that he was the best man in the territory to represent said territory. I am for him first, last and all thetime.”ney sult;The se with glt; known educati the pul The elected ensuinj Wood si cently St. Loichosen Miss \ mendei It Wi on Mo:day’s { assigni that sc on TufSA1ITeamsshSidndownfithis ai the m« fleet, ' ball m matin* aters gram, of sail defeat sity bj repres the N Durinf gave i Conne guestsuiiNnnFna would
