The Madrid press erhorts the government tn follow m
energetic course In the Mexican question. The several
journalistic Epdnn, FL Ctnmor, La Discurion, and
others-are truly cutting In treating this subject. La
Eocd that the President Of the Council had studied
and considered even before the formation Of the
Cabinet The EunG In speaking Of the Didrio Epdnoi
which had commented upon the subject, says; Never
50 much as now has our colleague seemed To ndu

co hsuh, as VIC believe, wishes TO deceive itself with
the belief that differences with that unfortunate

colleague does not forget tho insults inflicted upon
SPAIN and wishes at all hazards TO bring under the

The Territory or Arizona.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD.


In your editorial OF the Esd instant reference to the
supposed exodus of the Mormons spring. and their
occupation of Sonora, unntentona injustice is done 10
the character Of the country south of Utah and which will
probably be organized at the approaching session Of Con-
gress into the Territory of Arizona.
The general impression which has heretofore prevailed
that this immense region worthless and barren
try is entirely erroneous and of this statement ample
proof from official sources will be laid before the House
and Senate committees The universal testimony of
vees of officers of the army and of the Boundary Com
mssoners establishes the fact that than half of the
Gadsden purchase the finest grazing country the world
while the rapid settlement within short time, of the
central valleys of Arizona and the aboundant crops of the
past season, an earnest of their fertility and future
promise Arizona is traversed in a nearly north AMI
south direction by several large and exceedingly rich val
leys well watered and tmbered, which will before long
support large population. The reports of Col. Bonnc
VILE who has lately explored the country north of the
ella river speaks in glowing terms of the northern
branches OF this river and their capacity for sustaining
large agricultural population.
OF the mineral wealth. especially, and silver OF the Ter
rtory, IT is scarcely necessary To speak but intimate
acquaintance with the history Of Arizona under the Spanish
me that the organization of the Territory and the deveope
ment of its mines will effect as great change In the
commerce Of the world has the gold Of California.
The necessity OF afordng protection TO people who
have settled upon this remote frontier is sufficient argu
ment in favor Of the Territorial organization independent
Of the necessity for the establishment of safe post route
overland to the Pacific This last argument IL dwelt
at length in the San Francisco Herald Of October goth,
and the proposed Territorial organization urged the
only means by which overland mail route
be established
At the opening Of Congress bills will be introduced pro-
vidng government for the Territory TO which your ed
torial refers and is believed upon good authority
these bills will have the decided appreciation and official
recommendation OF the President in his message Con
gress.
Believing that the Herald has its columns always open
to the truth thrust that you will give this letter the benefit
Of its wide spread circulation.

A Paragraph on K. N. Candidate.

The KnowN Nothing Convention of this
county have put forward an Assembly ticket
for the sufragcs Of the voters of Placer,
which we believe does not possess the caliber
of their far-famed ticket of 1855, the one
they subsequently found good cause for wish
ing any place else than in the Legislative
halls. Our long residence in the county has
made us somewhat familiar with men of the
different parties, who from their interest in
State affairs, intelligence, and prominence in
community, would naturally be considered
among those who would be selected for posi-
tions so important to the welfare of the
people. We have been 80 unfortunate as not
to know either the present X. N. nominees
were among those possessing the necessary
qualifications. With the exception Of J. IL.
Toole, or OToole, as we hear the name fire.
quently called, we were not aware that such
gentlemen as Messrs. Franks, Wooster and
Whittier resided in the county.
We know Mr.. Tooe by sight. and have
sufficient acquaintance with some of bis acts
upon which to indite 'paragraph." he is
the same person who made himself conspc
uous among crowd of rowdies who gave
groans for Gov. Bigger, and were guilty of
other dsreputable proceedings, at a meeting
in the town of Auburn, in front of the
Orleans Hotel, in tho canvass of 1855, at
which J. Nicely johnson and Gov. Bigler
spoke Toole, afterwsrd, in this town, ad-
mitted his participation in that disgracefu
affair, and declared himself ready to Go the
same thing again. The dignity that attached
to the office Of Chief Magistrate of this State,
did not shield Gov. BiGer from the insults Of
Toole and his aids. The editor of the Placer
Press, who was far from being an admirer of
Gov Big!er, felt constrained to enter his dis
approval Of this contemplate proceeding.
and in noticing the meeting said that 'some
persons improperly proposed three groans
for Bigler, which we are sorry to say were
given" The editors used the. mildest re-
proof possible to the groahers. Had the
groans been for Johnson instead of Biger. it
can be we'll imagined the anathemas that
would have been hurled by him At the men
who would have so violated the requirements
of decency and good-breeding. -.
Mr.. Toole seems to possess a, faculty OF
placing bimself in positions, antagonistical
The Placer herald., 1857-08-22

to the good sense Of community, and quite
recently we find him an otficious sympathiser
of Chinaman who attacked the Collector
when required to pay his Mining License at
Rattesnake. The course pursued by Toole
in that affair, if adopted BY the citizens Of
the county, would result in the loss to the
county Of the entire revenue from Foreign
Miners License.
These are of the antecedents Of Mr.. Toole,
Know Nothing asprant for the Assembly;
one who seeks to make laws for California.
Unfortunate indeed will te the day when
such qualifications will merit their possessor

EEIhe Democratic nomination for Su
perintendent of Common Schools, in this
county, does not meet the approval of the
editor Of the Placer Press The reason is
plain enough-Mr. Millotte by birth is an
lrishman, and that would be good and
sufficient reason at any and all times for
the opposition of the Press Our cotempo-
rary is not fond Of the brogue, ard seems to
consider it a serious objection in a School
Superintendent. 1t matters not to the Press
that Mr.. Mlette has filled the position with
ability and industry, having shown devotion
and capacity in the duties of the Office not
reached by any Of his predecessors; neither
does the fact Of the State Superintendent
paying Mr.. Milette the high compliment Of
being ono of the best Superntendents in the
State make any difference, Millotte is an
1rishman, and that is cause enough for grun-
bling among the men who have been anxious
to get back to the 'purer days Of the Repub-
lic."
Mr.. Aiiletie, through the par,iality Of the
people of this county, has once been elected
Superintendent, and made the most efficient
one We ever had. lie has been re.nominat-
ed and will again be elected, notwithstanding
Know Nothing complaints.
The intolerance and sin of Know Nothing
ism sticks to our friend Of the Press like a
lesch. Bathing in the purifying waters Of
Jordan, even seven times, would not cleanse
him of it.

RIVER Mining operations on

vigor at the present tins. Many companies
have commenced washing, and the works
of the remainder are in forward state.
The companies On the North Fork are the
earliest in pay dir: this season; and on
both streams there are more fumes than in
any previous year. River mining still
proves inviting, notwithstanding the bars
have been dug over year after year; and
the American forks have always been fa-
