Having recently published letter of cor
respondent Of the Charleston Mercury, giving
Ill unfavorable account Of the Gadsden Purchase,
we give place to the following reply to that let
ter, which Lieut.. Alowry, the representative of
tue people of Arizona at Washington, has adj
dressed to the Natiornl IuislGgencer-
Z" the Editors Of the National IneLligencer:
In Your issue of yesterday appeared letter,
copied from the Charleston Mercury, dated at
San Diego, California, in which the writer re-
wives the exploded story that the Gadsden pur-
chase (Arizona) is worthless and barren coun-
try. 1t will be noticed that the writer's cxpe-
rience of the country is limited, by his own
statement, to shooting ducks in the Mesilla
valley" Against this extraordinary knowledge
Of q Territory containing more than thirty
thousand square miles, l beg to put the opinion
of the Hon. John K. Bartlett, Col. Jack Hays
Gen. Joseph Lane and A. H. Campbell, Esq,
all of whom have travelled over the whole coun-
try, and who express the opinion that it con-
tains thousands of square miles of the best ara
bic land, is immensely rich in the precious metals
and in copper, and has all the elements Of
thriving and populous State. The impression
that irrigation is necessary for cultivation, is not
correct. In the central valleys of Arizona two
crops a year are raised, one by the ordinary
method of cultivation, the other by irrigation.
l shall publish in day or two letters from
several of the gentlemen above named, express
sing their views in regard to Arizona, its great
value both as mineral and agricultural State,
needing only the protection Of the laws to become
at once populous and productive. The immense
emigration which this spring will seek in the
fertile valleys of Arizona new home will,
within brief period, demonstrate that the new
Territory, like California, has been misrepresen-
ted and condemned only because twas unknown
and unprotected The last mail from the Santa
Cruz valley brings the intelligence that the Sill
yer Mining Company at Tubac are shipping sil-
yer ore to San Francisco to be smelted, and that
tho yield Oh the ore is paying oil the expenses
Of the mines, and will, within few months,
pay large dividends. No mines in Mexico have
been made productive at so small an outlay Of
capital. Those who doubt the great wealth in
silver of Arizona, only confess themselves igno,
rant of the early history of the country when
it was thriving Spanish colony, and Of the
undoubted statements Of Humboldt and Ward.
Very respectfully,
SYLVESTER MowRY
