Arizona.

1t seems that Arizona territory is attract
States, and the prospect is fair that, in
short time thousands will be on their way
from toward the suns rising TO the distant
land with the poetical name. We fnd the
following in New England paper in refer
ence to the country which has been general.
ly known as "Gadsden's Purchase" mas
name bought the land Of Santa Anna, On his
own responsibility, concciviug that it would
be available for the southern Pacific rail
road. In other respects it was considered
worthless, at least considering its cost Of ten
millions. and the Senate only ratified the
treaty after long and earnest struggles
This tract extends from the Rio Grnnde
to the Colorado, elk hundred miles and is
bound on the north by the river Gila, giving
it width of from fifty to sixty miles. The
arena is thus upwards of thirty thousand
miles, or about the size of Maine. Although
mainly occupied by Indians, the territory is
said now to be of excellent agricultural re
sources. But the principal interest felt in
Arizona is owing to its rich mineral prod
ucts. Veins of silver and copper have been
opened within the past year, drawing thith-
er a number OF California miners, who have
thus far been very successfully employed
More than one hundred veins of rich silver
ore have been opened, while in copper min
ing two millions of dollars are already in
vested, and the ore has been pronounced in
London to be the richest ever sold in that
market These things, together with the
fact that the newly established mail route to
California will run through this territory.
render it probable that the white population
of Arizona will soon receive large additions.
But they will be without government. A
territorial bill was introduced at the last
session of Congress, but was lost in the fatal
rush of the last hours. But now, we UNDER
stand, the residents are moving in earnest
tor territorial organization, and have sent
Lieut.. Nowry to the Atlantic States with
petition to that effect This officer, who is
well acquainted with the region, will give to
the press a series of articles on the resources
and importance OF Arizona, which accounts,
it is said by those who knew Lieut.. Mowry,
may be received with perfect reliance.

BE NOT ASHAMED OF IT.-Instead Of be-
ing ashamed Of ones business, one should be
proud of it. Never despise your bread and
butter, says an old adage; and the words
should be aopted as text by every young
man beginning life, The first duty of an
adult citizen is to be independent of others,
and this nobody can become who does not
earn suffient for livelihood Whatever
work is honest is also honorable. Society de-
manIs deterrent sorts of handicraft and 9TH
er avocations, just rs a machine requires le-
vers, beams, fulcrums, wheels, &c, and
hence a blacksmith or plowman is just as
necessary to the common veal as a lawyer
or doctor, and Therefore need be none the
more achamed of his calling To be idle,
indeed, even if one is rich, is to play the
part of useless appendage to the State, and
is conducive neither to the physical, intellec-
tual nor moral health OF all the shams of
modern society, one of the greatest is the
of wealthy and titled drones. who
outlived their real mission like the mobiles
of England have But there is n sham still
mighticr 1t is the sham of despising n man
for his business. especially in a republic
such as ours, for, in point of fact. citizen
is onorabc only in proportion to the asst.
duty with which he follows some honest
pursuit.

some misunderstanding between Mudd and

with the proviso that the Postmaster-G -Gener-

Too lofty for his muses. wing

But, lady see that bonnet small.
Which beads and bugles much bedeck.
Is like hideous criminal.

Thro' which you pass, with fearful swoop
Reminds US of the Indian, who,

Alas that whalebone hoops and stays,

purpose of raising it to examine into the
cause of the noise, beautiful white dove flew
into the apartment and alighted upon the coffin
