Very Interesttng from the GaAsAcn
Purchase.

Correspondence OF New York Daily Times.
Fokr YUMA, CAL, March 3, 1851 have
been enabled at this point to gather some in
formation respecting the events occurring in
the neighboring territory OF Arizons--evcnts
which will soon attract attention 10 the
States.
II is reported that plan exists to divide
California, annex the Gadsdcn purchase,
and create new slave State. The idea 10
simply absurd. The Convention which sent
Mr.. Cook to Washington was composed Of
plain, honest, hard working men, who, hav-
ing been robbed and driven from their min
ing claims after great expenditure Of labor
and money, appealed in their extremity to
General Government for . separate terrific
rial organisation, knowing that it would az
ford Thorn protection under the law.
II Congress does not grant this most just
prayer, another Convention, in which every
section will be represented, will assemble in
time to make itself heard before the next
Congress. 1t will probably be reserved for
Democratic Congress to decree this sepa-
rate organization. Whatever may be the
speculations Of sapient Washington CORES
| pondents, this 10 simply bona Gds claim OF
respectable hard-working men TO be pro-
tected by that Government which claims
them az citizens. 1t Is no scheme Of design
ing politicians. The idea - to there being q
covert purpose to create new Slave State
is absurd. The country 10 not adapted "a
slave labor, and II II was, it Is too near thu
Mexican border TO allow the Importation Of
slaves, who, in days journey, could plsc,
themselves beyond the reach Of any Fugutiv'
Slave Law.
am enabled through the courtesy Of ont
Of Gen. Crabb's STAFF, TO forward you tn,
following list Of the officers of the grea
sArigona Colonization Company" Thei
J combined forcs 10 said to amount to l,50(
men on this coast, with largo additions &
arrive from Texas, under command OF officer
regularly appointed.
An Eco WITHIN an EGo.-The Clevelan,
(O.) Herald says Wheels within wheel
are plenty a. blackberries, but An egg within
an egg Is barn-yard freak we had no
dreamed Of until shown Shanghai egg
regularly laid at Canton, Stark county
which 10 double throughout--shcl and all
The outside egg was . large one even for
Shanghai, but inside it has another abou
the size or the common hens egg. Arouns
the inner egg, and between its she'll and th,
4 shell OF the larger egg, was the yolk and th,
white Of tho larger one. Both eggs wer,
regularly sshnrd shells" Our sxplanatio,
is that the Dlg Shanghai mas . common her
inside Of her, and acting in unison in theil
egg factory, they throw doublcts.
TnRxsulxo OUT DxBr.--A mercantile firm
in Illinois, we'll known TO US, finding on their
books a large amount Of unsettled accounts
against farmers, sscoming in slow" resolved
upon the following expediens to "fetcA ZEN
to terms" Having q good pair OF working
horses, il Was decided that one Of the par.
tensrs should purchase and take command
Of Thrashing Machine, visit every, farmer
indebted TO them, thresh out his wheat, then
take their pay, and 60 to tho next upon the
same GRAND. The plan succeeded we'll.
1t is unnecessary for u 70 cay that the
firm We allude to, 10 in good credit In New
York, and will doubtless cootinue to be. In
view OF these facts, We would say TO all
Western merchants, IL tho farmers don't pay,
"thresh 'em ouf."-independsnt.
