Robbery of a Government Train.
--A letter to the St. Lonis Republican, from Tucson, Arizona, dated March 15th, says:
"It is said that a Government supply train for Fort Buchanan, loaded with $30,000 worth of property, has been driven over the line in to Sonora by those having it in charge.
The train is nowhere on the road, and had not been seen after passing Burro Canon; some twenty miles this side of Fort McLane.
Application will be made to the Sonora authorities for the arrest of the thieves and return of the property."

Army intelligence.
--Another unprecedented military march has been accomplished by a regiment of the United States Army.
A large portion of the Seventh Regiment marched from Camp.
Floyd, U. T., to Fort Buchanan, New Mexico, travelled one thousand miles, and spent 140 days on the road.
This is one of the most lengthy military journeys recorded.
It is not generally known that the longest march of infantry ever accomplished was successfully completed about a year ago by an American regiment — the gallant old Sixth--which left Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, for California, a distance of 2,800 miles, and was 190 days on the road, of which 162 were actually passed in marching.
This march was nearly twice the length of that of Hannibal's troops, going from Italy to Spain, and more than twice as long as that of Xenophon's ten thousand, and much longer than Napoleon's perilous journey to Moscow.
The Sixth suffered severely all the way. At Carson Valley the snow fell for three days, and

Captain Chapin.
--In a list of Virginia officers in the Federal service, lately copied by this paper from the Enquirer, is the name of Captain Gordon Chapin, of the Seventh Infantry.
The Enquirer, of yesterday, corrects the statement.
In addition to its paragraph, we learn that Captain Chapin has been commander of Fort Buchanan in New Mexico, and, at that distant post, had just heard of the secession of Virginia, several mails having been cut off and the drivers and guards killed by the Apache Indians.
He resigned his position, which was one of a responsible and very remunerative character, forthwith, and hastened at once to offer his sword to his native State.
Captain Chapin has been in active service on the United States frontier for the last ten years, was with Captain Marcy in his expedition to the headquarters of the Brazos, where a treaty was made with the Camanche Indians, and with General Johnston in his Utah expedition.
He is a native of Lexington.
