Another project. by which an array of

coming attempt to organize the Mesilla VAL

under the name of the Territory of Arizona.
Lieut. Mowry has procured an election as
Delegate from that embryo Territory, and
expects to pocket some $4,000 as mileage
and per diem. ~
We extract the following from the Wash
ington Republic:
aThis Lieutenant Mowry has furnished
several articles to the Washington papers
during the past summea, setting forth the
immense importance of Arizonia. He also
attended the Knoxville Convention, where
he made a magnificent speech upon the same
subject.
1.-The Lieutenant has never marked the
white population of his pet Territory above
six thousand, and this is doubtless a great
exaggeralion.
s9fhe Union publishes a letter from S, NJ.
Yost, dated Santa Fe, September 80, 1851
from which we make the following extract
L have been kindly permitted to examine
the official report of the Gila expedition, but
have not time at present TO give you syn
opsis of their contents. The country in
which the expedition operates is included in
the Gadsden purchase. and is a portion of
that which will form the Territory of Ari-
zonia, if ever created. The Representations
have seen in some of the Southern papers
of the mineral wealth of this country are in
4 great measure erroneous. There are some
old silver mines there that have been worked
for many years, and made bankrupts of
numberless spectators. Indeed it is moth
ing more nor less than profigacy for men to
ask for Territorial government for the Me-
sila for years to come yet. It will only be
useless expense TO the government. There
are some fertile spots of land in the region
traversed by Col. Bonneville, but generally
untitled for the habitation of the white man.
The movement for new Territory is the
work of few political mountebanks, and
never will eventuate in any good
''The creation of the proposed new Ter
ritory would be barefaeed political job. but
may be carried under the great pressure for
new offices.
The governorship, secretaryship, Judge
ships, with the moneys to be disbursed for
courts, public buildings, etc., make up an
amount of attraction which is almost ire
sistible. Nothing will defeat it but the con-
dition of the Treasury"
The Republic might have added that an
other motive besides that of creating fat
Offices for Democratic vagabonds, is to pave
the way for new slave State, and thus re-
store the equilibrium in the National Con-
gress when Minnesota, and Kanzas eventu-
ally, shall be admitted into the Union as
free States.
The following, from the Chicago Tribune,
is worthy of perusal = H.75
''Some of the large pecuniary losses, says
the Washington Republic, which have re-
suited to the country from the present NAL
administration of public affairs by the pre-
sent Administration, may be roughly stated
as follows:
The $50 called) sale of Fort Smelling, 81, 100000
the public stocks. 100000
ton, 100000
Total, 100000
Then add to this million or two more in
the swindle sale of Fort Ripley, and we'll
have an amount worth thinking about,
