n an attack on Fort Craig. Kansas City, Mo., Jan. 21 --The Santa Fe mail, with dates to the 7th inst., has arrived. An express from Mesilla arrived at Santa Fe on the evening of the 4th inst., bringing news that fifteen hundred Texans, with seven pieces of artillery, were marching on Fort Craig, and were within thirty miles of that post. The scouts from the fort had been drawn in. A severe battle is expected, as the Texans were fighting principally for food. Governor Connelly had called out the entire militia. A letter express arrived the night of the 5th inst., which says that the enemy had retreated without making an attack on the fort. It was not known whether Col Canby intended to follow him or not. The scouts from Pecot's had not arrived when the mail left. Colonel Canby has 1,000 regulars and 1,500 volunteers and militia in his command. All is excitement at Santa Fe. Martial law has been declared in the district. Amo
