From Santa Fe.
The last number of the Santa Fe Gazette received here contains the following items of news:
On Monday of this week the last of the Texan prisoners, about ninty [sic] in number left the city under an escort for the South. These comprise the sick and wounded who were unable to endure the fatigues of the journey at the time the others were paroled and sent home.
So far as we have been able to learn the prevailing sentiment among them is one of extreme disgust for Gen. Sibley for deceiving them into the expedition, and bringing upon them the disasters from which they have been compelled to undergo so many hardships and sufferings.
We understand that the escort will accompany them to Fort Bliss, but what arrangements have been made for their further progress homeward we know not. From Bliss to San Antonio, it is nearly one thousand miles distance, the greater part of which is a desert country, invested with wild Indians.
By private letters we learn that Maj. Arny has been appointed Secretary of the Territory vice Holmes removed.
At his own instance, through friends in Washington, Gen. Canby has been relieved from the command of this military department and will in a few weeks repair to the States where he can again enter the field of active service.
Gen. Carlton, who will succeed Gen. Canby in command, is well known here and bears the reputation of being an excellent officer. He is now with his brigade in Arizona, where it recently arrived from California, and will we understand, come to Santa Fe in a short time.
