Judge Hubbell

We had a call last evening from Judge Hubbell, of New Mexico, brother of Geo. E. Hubbell, Esq., of this city. The Judge had been forced to leave his home at Albuquerque at a few hours’ notice, bringing with him his family. So soon as he left, his homestead was taken possession of by Gen. Sibley, and forthwith confiscated to the Confederacy, the Judge having been in arms against that pretend power. A good example was given our Government, which we hope it will not be slow to follow. Judge Hubbell and family are now stopping at the Burtis House.
