ARIZONA, OR THE GADsDEN PURcHAsE.-
This country is attracting much attention
at the present time, among our compatrots
on The Pacific coast, and some of tue Cali
fornia papers call loudly for a territorial
organization at once. The subject certain
ly deserves the earliest consideration of the
Government. Arizona is large enough 10
make two or more States equal in size with
the majority of those composing the Fed
eral Union. The soil for the most part is
rich and fertile. and the actual population
is said to be much larger than that of
Washington, Kansas, or Nebraska, at the
time Of their organization. The whole
country, however, is sorely infested by
tribes OF Apache Indians, and without an
organized government or military force to
protect them, life and property are now
unsafe.

I DIR. CADYELL's DARTEN RoUTE-We
have been favored with the view Of a let
ter from an eminent engineer who is well
acquainted with the subject, concerning Dr.
CaldwelPs project, for canal across the
lsthmus Of Darien for the veriication of
which the United States government have
recently ordered competent officers to pro-
ceed to the lsthmus, The writer believes
that DR.. Caldwell is mistaken in his calcu-
lations, and that his project will prove
valueless. 1t is said that he made his ex.
ploratons with Instruments, his route lying,
for . great part, through an unbroken will
derness, and that, consequently, is was i'm
possible for him to form reliable Judgment
as to tho feasibility Of the proposed canal.
1t is further said that he abandoned his
searches where the greatest dilficultis began,
namely, at the high grounds which border
the Atlantic, and that the water which he
is said to have seen from tho top of tree,
and supposed to be the Atlantic, was in
reality the Pacific, it being utterly impos-
sible for him to have seen the Atlantic
from the place where he is stated to have
done so.
We also learn that it. is probable that
Comodore Paulding will decline to take
charge of the contemplated exploring expe-
dition.

from imperfect data, prove true, we shall

none can tell what accidents may occur in

delays in consequence, but making due

PLAN OF THE CHINA CAMPAIGN. The
Overland Friend of India discusses at
length the great question of tho day with
them, the plan Of operations to be adopted
in China. The first object, it thinks, should
be the capture of the city Of Canton ant
the destruction of so much of its suburb.
as to enable the English force to hold the
walls in safety during the summer till Gen.
Ashburnham shall have arrived. The next
step is the su6jugation Of the whole ninety
six villages, so called, in the immediate
vicinity. This, it thinks, could be effected
by the close Of the spring of 1858, but long
before that time an expedition should be
on its way to the large commercial towns
-Of the Northern Provinces, especially Nan
king and other cities on the Yang g-tze-kang.
The writer does not seem to approve the
Napoleonic tactics of penetrating at once
to Pekin, the capital. We must 60" he
