Topeka Sunia l'e railroad. They notice this vast undertaking only in short items, inci denily referring to the actual commencement of the wmk oa the road iia a blulT game, on the part of the broad gauge, to heat the narrow guago out of the trade or New M x* ico. They do not want to believe that the Atchison rond really means business in this southern extension: they tun not persuade thetnselvis that it is so, mid they will not nl their readers about it. even if they think so. Why aro these usually enterprising papers so loth to give information in their columns, in regard to this enterprise?Tho reason is, no doubt, that they correnly anti ipote that with u broad guage road and direct nu-r-ern connections, the trade if New Mi.xico will not all go through Denver. That is the trouble.They fondly expected to keep the world in ignorance of tho real l e* inureos of New Mexico, to convoy the ilea that it was a country «■ poor and worthies.*, that a railroad coul 1 not all'urd to build into it; and by that meuna forever keep it tributary to Denver, ova a single line of railroad.Ilut the°o dreami are now buin:’ dissipate 1; work bn been cur,men* ted on the Atchison road south, and «*nner or later it wi! extend southwest, through New Mexico opening up the to nut populous, most tortile and richest ugri.u'tuial und mineral districts. By it, Drover will be brought in direct compin-tim with Kansas City, St. Lomond Chicago for N w .Vi.x ri trade, and thenfnio the 1. pes ugains? hope that the rout will no! real y be hu.lt.

The slierifl attached all his property in Lincoln county and sent a deputy, with 4 or omen, to attach a herd of his cattle, on the Uio Felix, who was re* sisted by armed men and returned. Tho posso of the deputy was in* creased and he went bark and made tho attachment, in obedience tc law. McSween'o men then tried tu run off the horses, were pursued by toe posse, on whoi they fired. The posse returned the fire, killing Tun* stall. In the meantime fni ted States Mural,al Wiederman, with « posse of sohliers, took possession o! the attaohod property, and “arrested tho bhsriff and rll tliu citizens who Wore aiding him in the uiniu* tairmnce of law arid order.”From a private letter written hero w« gl*a'i that J.

Also, that the sheriff's posse, who killed Ti.ri'ta'1, was composed largo-iy ofoutluwr, recently escaped frjtn the sheriff’s eusiody in Lincoln Co.- »-------\ Qiic«tlnii In be nnke JWhat becomes of the public school fund m Santa Fa county?
