The Silver Mines Of Arizona.

A letter has been received from Mr.. II.
c. Grosvenor to Mr.. W. Wrightson, Secre.
tary, &c, dated Hacienda de santa Rita
June 22d, giving a very encouraging ac-
count Of the prospects of the mining com.
pany in which he is concerned, and also
of the others that have been formed for
the same purpose The yield of the So
nora mines he estimated at $4,000 ton,
and he anticipates an equally abundant
return from the Snta Rita. The follow
ing extracts from this letter will interest
many of our readers:
"All possible arrangements having been
completed on The morning of the 10Th
we left Tubac at s o'clock, and at ! |
o'clock, having ridden about twelves miles,
we halted, and Colonel p. (who had kind

out the old Hacienda of the Santa Rita
mines, which were destroyed some thirty
five years since by the Apaches, who also
massacred every soul belonging to the
mines, not one escaping. Here were dis
covered the remains of old furnaces and
other evidences of mining operations
Specimens of Stag, still containing sill
yer, found in the debris of the furnaces,
show that the former occupants must
have treated the ore in the rudest manner
and with the simplest means.
"Our first visit was to the Saicro, which
we descend through a large opening, some
sixty feet or more, without difficulty. The
vein is divided at the surface, but unites
about one-third of the way down, forming

INN ATLANTIC CABLE raornlr.

The stopping Of signals through the AT.
lontc Cable was announced in the English
papers OF the 9th, in the sh lpe of a letter
from the Secretary of the Company. The
letter says that ineligible signals ceased
to be received from Newfoundland at one
O'Clock on the morning of the Sd, from
some unknown cause. Tile directors and
corps OF scientific and practical eloctri-
cans were at Nalentia investigating tho
matter, with a view if possible, to rene,
dy the difficulty.
The quotation Of the shares immediate.
ly became quito nominal, the only price
named being from G4OO to $500, withou

The London Times says that simila

temporarily u short time back. and the
hope Is that the accident is merely one OF
those to which the cable must he liable

been completed for the protect IN of the

INDIANS As MATTER OF TACr.--A man
who had been out West, and been chased
by an Indian, writes:
'Much as has been been by poets and by
romantic young ladies about the pictur-
esque aspect and the noble form of an un-
tanned, untamable warrior of the prairie,
and far be it from me to gainsay them

Thus thy lonely task fulfill?

Answering thee from bower or hill?

pEDLiR,S Law.

New Hampshire, at the last session of the
Legislature, passed Probibitory Pedlar's law
like the one in force in Maine, which cuts of
merchants, manufacturers, mechanics, and far.
mers, from other States, from selling any OF
their manufactures or products in New lamp.
spire, even by sample.
The above law seems to be very rigid; but
still the principle is elninently correct. Resi-
dent merchants in any town or city have to pay
pretty heavy contribution to the support OF
the State and city III which they may do blsi-
ness, yet itincraut merchants, ped!ars and trav-
cling agents manage to effect considerable sales
of goods, either by the delivery Of the mer
chandlse itself, or selling specified quantities bJ
samples they carry with them. Here to-day
and away tomorrow, they escape any taxation
whatever. There is neither right nor justice
in permitting such Surreptitious traffic to the
detriment Of those who pay heavily towards
the support of both city and State governments.
And in this connection we may remark, that
Of all other commodities, knicks-knacks and
Yankee notions which stock the shelves of deal

there are none which are 50 justly entitled to

wrappers, is sold here for dollar Or two dol

ought to be heavily taxed. y tax Of fifty or
one hundred per cent could be easily rail by
the patentcc, nor would the supply be DUNN
shed. We hope yet to see the Legislature
take this matter in hand and make these dele
terious compounds, so freely distributed among
our people, pay something towards the revenue
of the Statc-Southern Guardian.
