is not the
greatest hunter now living. He has killed, in the brief space of three
consecutive hours, with his rifle, twenty-two antelope, at a time when
the game was so scarce, that other men who followed the business of
hunting under pay, and were no ordinary shots, thought themselves
doing well to bring down six of the same animals. It gives the
greatest satisfaction to the people of New Mexico that Kit Carson
is, from time to time, reinstalled in his office of Indian agent,
notwithstanding the other great changes that have been and are
continually making in their politics. His fitness for the position
which he holds cannot be doubted, when the good already accomplished
by his efforts is considered. No one would be so loath to part with
his services as the Indians themselves. His influence reaches far
beyond his own tribes, and is felt by the Cheyennes, Arrapahoes, and
Kiowas, who are fast becoming very chary about visiting, with hostile
intentions, the settlements of northern New Mexico.

Kit Carson is still in the full vigor of his manhood, and is capable
of undergoing almost any amount of privation and hardship; therefore
we infer that to the country he has adopted; he will be spared many
years to come, as one of its most valuable citizens. And when the time
arrives for his final exit from this stage of life, he will bequeath
to his family and friends a spotless character and an enviable
reputation.
