II. Laaiar, Saturday evening, when tho pro senutitm of tho souvenir watch vraa made, there were expressions on the part o( bcith CaptaTM Quin and Dr. Lasker that are worthy (it prcsorVatlon and tho lateness of tho hour wtien the presenta tion was made precluded the publication of the remarks In fun yesterday, the brlut mention then made 1 followed thin wornlaj; with complete rc- porte of the mmarKil of both gentlemen, the remarks of Dr. Lasker being transited oapeclaHy lor TBB Hrws. Captain Quln, after the Salamanders had made tbsir address, stepped forward and said: lr.

Lasker: A number of your menus in tnls city having, rather unexpectedly, learnod of your Intended departure from our midst, have proper to present you Tflth a token of their regard, to be souvenir of your-visit. I have been requested.to make tho presentation, ai'tl have sullied Ue undertaking with much pleasure, por- but also with diffidence, knowlnu full well I can but faintly convy to you the sentiments of Illtluenclng tfap tlonora. I u.iou tne word friends In Its broadest sense; and, I trust, not inappropriately, for although you have been per- HonuHy unknown to many of them until quite re- ctatly, all of them are qulto familiar with your ublfc career, and the valuable services rendered you in tbe cause of. constitutional liberty, ana which haa met tbelr hearty approval, therefore entitling you to call tbem friends In its highest tense, nr it Ii that frlindshlp most oudurlng which la rounded on respect. One ot the English poets said, "A fellow feolluc makes UN wondrous eentlment moat true, for there 111 a lie which binds our common huinonitr together.

Despot stands back to back with despot and naturally support each while fastening: tho ahacklas on their enslaved subjects, aad in like manner the downtrodden paople who suffer In their struggles for freedom Urn! svupathlzlnfi: hearts throughout the world troionj; those wbo, llko themselves, are still struggling and suffering, and among those who, like ourselves, buve succeeded and live in the enjoyment of Its silccesi. In your extended travels over our country you havedoubtless been surprised at Its von! extent of territory and great advance in material wealth; but no doubt to you, a man well Klilllud In vhe science of government, tlio matter which h.is astonished you most hiut been to witness this vast population scattered auch an extant of territory--having m-iny diverse Interests, yet all so harmoniously blvnded with mutual respect for each other and a common devotion to tlieir -form, of government-that taws are administered and everywhere respected without the presence of an armed soldiery to overawe or intimidate. Thus convincing you that the assertion ao often made In Europe but ever dtf riled--thac the people are capable of self-govam- uivuc--is no longer a problem to bedemoastrated, but in this country a jrrand and triumphant Your friends were at a loss to determine what tu shape of a would be most appropriate pnsent to you. In order fcoat It might have direct relation to jour vtolt oa this ocoaalon they determined on presenting you wila a watch of American manufacture. I think it a happy accident whfoa rsaulted in such selection, for uuriQg the week now ending yon have witnessed the extraordinary event that our country is so ex- tausfve.

and yet Its oornaierclal intercourse so intimately connected that It haa become necessary to divide it lato fourdistisct meridians of time, and thus this watch I now hold in my hand marks the commercial center. It is two hours later thun our KStern frontier, aad two hours earlier thau our commercial western; but even when that point has been reached, tbe aun In his rapid flight through the heavens must needs travel two hoars more before lie reaches our geographical western limits. Locally we were at a loss to flnu something which would direct your attention to our city. We have no historic monuments from which fragments might be broken ana Incased In gold, "Wears a people ot to-day, not yesterday. It is within the privilege of any map who has reached ttie biblical age of three acoreand ten to remember tbe first settlement of our city and State, aud yet enjoy and witness Its culmination in fertile fields well cultivated, cjties, prosperous towns, and a.

In commemoration of this great change we present you with miniature of the Count deGalvez, after whom our bland city is named. Dr.

L-isker, "hf in future llcnes and your own land you look upon tbis time-piece, 1C is our earnest Uejlro you will continue' to remember with pleasant intmiorids your visit among us.

It was about this time that I stood ac the door of the guard-housa and saw Colonel lor, with less than 300 poorly armed Texans start on his march to capture Fort Fillrnoro then garrisoned by 750 regular troops, th flower of the United Statss army, and I knew and said, that ho would succeed. That hiKtory is a short one.

Baylor took possession of thetowu of Mesilla unopposed- Major Lynde mado a show of attempting ti dislodge him, and a skirmish ensued, in whifl Lieutenant McHalley, not yet knowing tha it was only iniiistc war, exposed himself aud wounded, ijynde retreated in good order and that night abandoned the post aud fled in the direction of Fort Btanton. A show was made of destroying the stores at the post, bni very little damage was done. All was eon fusion, and demoralization. A'patriotic quar master, Lieutenant left some government drafts in his pockets at his quarters These trere sent to Washington (indirectly) by the rebels, and the money collected. Tho command marched, or straggled, to San Augustine Spring, eighteen miles oast of Fillmore, where, being overtaken by Colonel Baylor with about 200 men, they surrendered unconditionally without firing a gun.

Ko sooner was the surrender an accomplishes fact, thau the same subordinate who had aided to bring it about, some by indifference, some by sympathy, and some by treachery, united in charging the whole responsibility upon poor old Lynda. It is thus that bad men treat their weak instruments after they have served their purposes. Major Lyndo was dismissed the service, but was reinstated after the war. He was not treacherous, ho was weak, and he was deceived, to his ruin and the disgrace of bis flag. I have never doubted that if ha had been properly supported aud encouraged the result would have boen different Of his subalterns, some resigned, some went into ths recruiting rbdo.intb the post and mat Lane, angrily askad me if I had reportod him Colonel as a I replied that had had lafthbJm ti draw his own.

I believe, though I can not know, that a message went that night to Colonel Baylor, who hod arrived at Fort Bliss with.his covaHiancL informing him of tho con teats of these dispatches. There was order from Canby to Lynde to recapture For Bliss and the stores there, which he could oosil have done.

Poor oli man. It was usafcas. I have never seen Lynde since that day, but ten years later I received a letter, from which I extract the ol October W.

I then proceeded to the town of La Mesilla, flve miles Srom the fort, aud 'ound the secession flag flyjne in. the street and secession leaders notifying union men toleave.

I then called upon Dr. M. Stock, a loyal man, 'ho was Indian agent, and deceived from him encouragement and a letter to some riends of the government at Santa Fe.

We started the next morning to Santa Fe by stager oocb. There -were nine passengers, all Union en, I believe, and well armed.

At the request of my friends McSar vy, Craig and others, "limitB of the post" wore enlarged as to mi, so that finally I drifted to the Mexican side tie river. I had been con- Bnod about thi'tty days-- tha month of August, 1861. The nearest United States troops were now at Fort mUes north of El Paso, and ihe Toxans and Indians were batween us, but I determined to make the journey. I obtained a horse from Craig and Tjought another, and secured.th» services of a Jfoxieon. who claimed to be a guide.

We started at 11 o'clock at night from El "Paso Mexico. We crossed the triver below 3oncordia and traveled north on ths east side of the Organ mountains, avoiding roads. When we thought we had reached a point nearly east! of Fort Craig we rode west across mountains. The journey was not so easy as 1 supposed. The guide did not know the country; and the weather being cloudy we were lest in the mountains.

When the sun cams out we traveled west, taowing we must strike the river somewhere. The fifth morn- inrr out out from 3S1 Paso, while leading our worn- ou horses, we heard the band play Guard Mount, at Fort Craig, and rising a little hill my leart was gladdened by tbe sight of the flap of Fort Craig, was then commanded br Colonel B. S. Bobarts, of the regular ai-my, a brave and true soldier, who was concentrating a force to' resist General Sibley. who was lien (Dcember, 1861) en route from San Anonio with a force of SSOO Texans to captui-e and hold New Mexico.

Colonel Koborts received me very kindly, aud af tar I liad a writton report of what I had seen and learned, ho'paid mo liberally for my services, which I lid not expect, and offered to procuro me a. captain's commission in the New Mexican, volunteers (Kit Carson's regimaut), or to get me a commission as first lieutenant and place me on lis staff as aide-de-camp. I chosa the latter. I do not propose to attempt a history of the wmch followed. Early in February, S62, General Sibley arrived before Fort Craig with liis whole force and a battery of six guns.

lobwts had collected, to oppose him, 1000 regulars, two regiments of New Mexican volunteers, under Colonels Carson and Peno, ant. of Colorado volunteers. Sunday evening they appeared in force in ront tho post, and we marched out to fight ihem on tho they retired with only jiia man killed. That 'night they, crossed to the east sido of ho Rio C-ionde, bolow Fort Craig, and next morning cbmraenced to pass round tho post by a road which, our engineers had declared iui- mssable. Thairadvance reochedthe river fivo niles above the post at 9 o'clock a.

"When-we arrived at tho scene of action, the enemy hod arrived at the foot of the hills, about two miles east of the river, there being letween them and the river a level plain stud- 'ed here and thare with cottonwood trees, but n.places the ground was open.

Though McBoo's loss was eavy, his victory -was complete. The enemy's ottery was rendered useless and abandoned. When the' artillery fight was nearly ovor Hobarts sent me across the river with on order to Captain David H.
