THE INDIANS OF ARIZONA

The following is an extract from letter
received by Lieut.. Mowry, from an officer
of the army, stationed at Fort Yuma. Cali
fornia, describing the late fight between
several allied tribes occupying portion
of Arizona:
"FoRT YUMA, Sept. Is, 1857.
"The Yumas have been most dFeadfully
beaten by the Maricopas, Pimcstlaud
others. They have lost not less than TO.
hundred Of the flower of their chivalry.
The opposing parties were: on one side,
the Yumas, Mohaves, Yampais, and Tonic
Apaches, and one or two Dieganos. on the
other, the Maricopas, Pimos. and Papages
The former party commenced the at
tack by burning some wigwams. and kill
ing women and children belonging to the
Marieopas. The grand battle was fought
near the Maricopn wells. About 100 miles
sbove the mouth of the Gila.l There were
pnbabIy about 1,5OO engaged on each
side The Yumas and allies were COM
! pletdy routed.
I'VE have not heard full accounts, and
| cept the Yumas. Scarce one of them Is
left to tel the story in fact. here they
knew noting of the affair until we told
them. Welearned It from the Texas mail
party. Allthe Yumas are in mourning"
Another letter says: The Yumas and
Mohaves suffered severely. Our old friend
Soil Francisco, who acted as our agent in
rescuing OliveD' Otnan from the Mohaves,
year since, was killed. Out of about one
hundred Yumas who went to battle, only
some six or seven returned.
1.-The Pimos have invariably beaten their
enemies in battle. They are the dread of
the Apaches, but generally friendly to the
Mexicans and Americans. Occupying a
beautiful and fertile portion of the valley
of the CHA river, they live in villages, culti-
vate large crops of wheat, corn cotton,
milet, melons and pumpkins. They grind
their corn into -four, make bread, manu-
facturA their cotton into blankets of a
beautiful fabric. s
THE severe punishment they have in
Aicted upon the wild tribes who attacked
them will be regretted by no one who has
travelled through Arizona, or who under
stands the Indian character.
''The letters from which have made the
above extracts announce the discovery of
silver near the Gila River copper mines,
just above Fort Yuma and also great de-
posits of rich copper mines on the Colora-
do, forty miles above the mouth of the
ella. There is no end to the mineral
wealth of the new Territory"

LORD BROUGHAM.

Lord Broughan recently addressed the
Mechanics Institute. Of London. What
he said of himself, says the London Times,
is perfectly true. 81 am myself," said he,
land have been all my life, a working
man." No man, therefore, has a better
right than he to address working men.
There is perhaps no man living of whom
more feats of labor and triumphs over the
frail Phisique of humanity are recorded
than of Lord Brougham. Legends of this
sort have gathered round him like Her
cules. There is legend that he once
worked six continuous days. e., ia
hours without sleep. But" somebody will
ask, "has that pale, lean man, with a face
like parchment and nothing on his bones,
a constitution :" Yes he has-he has a
working constitution, and ten times bet
ter one than you, my friend. with your
ruddy face, and strong, muscular frame.
You look, indeed, the very picture of health;
but you have, in reality, only sporting
constitution, not working one. You do
very well for the open air, and get on very
we'll with fine healthy exercise, and no
strain on the brain. But try close air for
week-try confinement, with heaps Of con-
fused papers and books of reference, blue
books, law books, or dispatches to get
through, and therefrom extract liquid and
transparent results, and you will find your
self knocked up and fainting, when the pale
leal. man is-if not ''as fresh as daisy"
which he never is, being of the perpetually
cadaverous type-at least as unaffected as
a bit of leather, and not showing the least
sign of giving way. There are two sorts
of good constitutions-good idle constitu-
tions, and working ones. When nature
makes great man, she presents him with
the latter gift. Not that we wish to deprive
our great men of their merit. A man must
make one or two experiments before he
finds out his constitution. A man of spirit
and mettie makes the experiment., tries
himself, and runs the risk as q soldier does
on the field. The battle of life and death
is often fought as really in chambers or in
an Office as it is on the field. A soul is re-
quired to make use of the body, but a great
man must have body as well as a soul to
Work with. Charles Dutler, Sir w IIlIam
Molesworth, and others. are instances of
men whose bodies refused to support the
souls, and were. therefore, obliged to give
up the prize when.they had just reached it.
And how many hundreds and thousands
if one did but know thcm- perish in an
earlier stage. before they have made any
way at all. simply because, though they
had splendid minds, they had very poor
bodies. Let our lean. cadayerous friend,
then, when the laurel surmounts his knotty
parchment face, thank Heaven for his body
which is almost as great IA treasure as his
soul. Nature may not have made him
handsome man, but what does that signify!
She has made him a strong one.

A LESSON FOR YOUTH.

The Hon. John H. Reagan, who was re-
Gently elected a representative TO Congress
from Texas, went to that State 1S years
ago, poor friendless stranger, wearing
buckskin brooches and hickory shirt.
He educated himself, laboring Saturdays.
at night-and the hours usually devoted to
rest were spent in toll to pay for his school
ing and the purchase of books. He split
rails, drove oxen, toiled in farm fields,
surveyed in wild, unsettled country, until
he became Injured to hardships. Strict in
tegrity and honesty marked his course and
met its reward. He gradually rose from
one position to another; was admitted to
the bar; was selected from his county as
the ablest man to represent it in the Leg
islature; was subsequently, made judge of
superior court, to which position he was
elected for second term and now he has
been elected by the people of Eastern
Texas representative in the Congress OF
the United States, and is spoken of as hav-
ing fair prospects before the Legislature
for United States Senator.

LABOR.

| As the world grows older, the repug-
nance to labor exhibits itself in n-fold
degree. There is something in the idea of
! ..work" that has museating effect upon
the gastric functions of the rising genera
ton. A mania exists to play the gentle
man." disposition iuHS rampant to live
the life of a "genteel' Krone; to consume
without producing to exist without fur
nishing the means ID live upon. Labor is
Incompatible with nspectablity; the Ia
boring man is necessarily a plebian; a man
of low degree, a serfor something worse.
Such are the opinions prevalent among the
would be aristocracy of the present day
opinions that lead to lamentable and disas-
trous consequences, seen in the thousands
and tens of thousands of young men N
our country, without the means to live up
on, and destitute of an honorable calling
that will furnish them the bread of life; lead
ing career of dissipation and idleness, and
ending with crime or closing their course
by last step into the drunkard's grave.
God has said that man shall earn his
bread by the sweat of his brow how then
can fulflment of this command be disre
putable !! Why should he who, using the
gifts and endowments given him by his
Creator. whether from necessity or choice,
for the benefit of himself and his fellow
man, in contributing something to the
worlds stock in adding to the works of
genius or art, be regarded as lacking in
responsibility or wanting dignity or refine
ment. These ideas, indeed, are not con-
fined to the opulent, the influential or the
aristocratical; if so, the evils resulting
from them would be of small moment. 1t
is found among those who, destitute of the
means to live at ease; too proud to ''work"
and too poor to live without it, are the
mere apes of fashion, and the miserable
imitators of "high life." The show and
glitter found in the palaces of the
wealthy, and the gay and dashing ap-
pearance of the slaves of fashion, have a
peculiar influence upon the delicate organ
izations of these aspiring spirits. The
consequence is stinting of the inner man,
that broadcloth and silks may cover the
external ; that pride and idleness are found
where honest toll and creative genius
should be contributing to a life of happi- |
ness and independence. Such characters
are the make shift associates Of the upper
ten'' who regard them with contempt, and
tolerate them as subjects Of jest and ridi
cule. There is nothing in labor to be
ashamed of. The sun burnt face, and the
hard and finty hand should ever be the
passport to respect and consideration
The drone who lives upon the labor of 9TH
ers, is moth for which the world has no
demand. For the ''bone and sinew of the
land :" the industrious artisan; the honest
and hardy creator of all that is grand and
stupendous in art has claims that can never
be dsregarded by the truly refined and in
telligent. t.-Etizabeh City Pioneer.

NATIVE CoTToN.-The following is an
extract from a letter publisheI in the
Tallahassee Floridian and Journal, and
dated the 14th of September, at Fort Myers
Fla: a.- .-.
"While on scout near this place, on the
Carloosahatchee River, few days since, |
found large quantity of wild cotton. This
cotton is growing in a low marshy ham
mock near the river: when first discovered l
could hardly believe the fact, but upon
examination I found it to be cotton in its
crude and uncultivated state. This cotton
has the appearance of Nankee cotton; but
think this is caused by the red bug, which
seems to have the same effect on the boiIs
as rust on the stem. The leaf of this cotton
is very much like the Sea Island in shape,
but from the feeling of the leaf and shape
of the bolls one would suppose it to be
upland, The cotton grows very high, and
seems mostly barren, but this / think is
owing to the thickness of the growth. This
cotton is SO we'll adapted to the climate and
soil that it grows all the winter; it may
seem unreasonable to you, sir, but am
confident that | saw some stalks that are
at least four or five years old. 1t is found
mostly in the vicinity of the river. / went
with Col. Rogers ard others, who are well
acquainted with the cotton plant, to look at
this cotton, and they all pronounced it
cotton, growing naturally in an uncultivated
soil"

not leave without notice. This did not

accent, please, thir, may go out!' His
honor bore this as long as he could, when
