Stei)hen Kearney had left the city for California, and Col. Doniphan, with the 1st Missouri, had departed for Mexico. A detail of 100 men from Price's reo-iment, consistino- of ten men from each company, was immediately dispatched to join Doniphan. This detail was commanded by Lieut. -Col. Mitchell, of the 2d Missouri. Following were from company L : Wm. B. Graves, Alex. T. Williams, Ira Benson, Bennett Heskett, James K. Bell, Oliver Bain. The 2d Missouri went into quarters in various public bu...ildings in Santa Fe, and the men enjoyed the situation immensely. Life in the city in that day was gay and frolicsome, after the most approved Mexican and Spanish fashion, and the soldiers soon adapted themselves to it, and partook bountifnlly of it. Monte banks were everywhere in full blast, dance houses abounded, and kindred establishments of every sort were to be found on every hand. All of these houses were well patronized, and by all classes. It was no uncommon sight to behold, among the patrons of a monte bank, a merchant, a hidalgo or large landed proprietor, an official of the city government, a padre or priest, in his robe and with his crucifix, an American soldier, a mule- teer^ or mule driver, a Magdalen and a Peon, or Indian serf.
