Arizona Correspondence.

We have already oncroached on our columns to an extent greater than we at first intended in our efforts to correct the false statements made with such unblushing efrontery by one of Arzona's corrupt correspondents. We would deem the subject unworthy offurther no- tice, as We have thus far, sufficiently established che truth of our statements, and at the same tine, as thoroughly exposed the noonsistenccs and unsruths of the notorious scrbber who Signs himself Gila;' if we were not in receipt OC further letters, which while aboundiug as usual, in the same senseess tirade against the people and the interests of this Territory, yet contain more than their usual quota of gross misrepresentations and absurdites Notwith- standing our deestation for writer, who in innumerable letters, has thus lar failed 10 in- dite single letter, possessing the semblance of truth; yet in justice to our people and their motiyeS we will continue the article, replying to a few more of his absurd and wil.iul mis- statements.
 In one of his early letters, speaking of the Convention held at La Mesiila last June, which nominated the Hon. Mir, MowRY for Delegate, the proceedings of which, were afterwards, so unanimously endorsed by other conventions held in different parts of the Territory, he says {" the whole thing was regarded by the people as farce after electug officers, there was scarcely any body lelt" At the time '' Gjiq, <" was writing the above he knew he was will'ully misrepreseuting yhe facts he had received a copy of the proceedings, and was adyiscd, that the convention was numerously attended, that every town in the Eastern portion of the Ter ritorJ, had delegates and that the convention represented the wishes of over 1000 inhabi- taRts. A more gross anj contempuje false hood never was uttered by any person, pre- suming to be a gentleman: and is perfectly characteristic Of the man, who has shown him self, as yet, unable tJ write or speak the truth, in any thing as regards this country The triumphant reelection of Mr. Mowry, without opposition, is a sufficient endorsement of the proceedings o. that couycudoni and unau, swcrablo evidence, of the contempt eyuged towards this hrelmg correspondent, by our citizens, generally.
 In another letter before us, Gila, " with unparalleled efrontery, says" the Arzonian yet keeps up faint 'bIoyiatiou' about the ccr- taiay of Congress granting Territorial Gov ernment but no one pays any attention to it. The opinions which the "Arzouian formerly expressed concerning the Territory, are now endorsed and considered the true state of the ease" That the Arizouian under its pres ent management has eyere1prcssed the cer- tainty of the organization of the Territory by the present Congress, is only another of the continued falschools of which this visionary and romaucng correspondent is guilty of The columns Of this paper since under the control of its Preson. editor, is convincing proof to the contrary we have truthlully and devoted ly urged the necessity of the change-hayo expressed honestly and fairly the wishes of our

From present appearances, Pesqueira has on his hands, as much as he could well desire at one time An officer of the Navy waiting for an interview, demanding rcparatiou for the injuries he has done American citizens and their rights; and from another quarter, an officer of the Army advancing into the country, 10 protest against his order of expulsion agains Capt Stone and his party; and to set forth his breach of treaty stipulat!ons, and at the same time to notify him, the course our Govern ment will pursue, if he further interiercs with the privileges of American citizens, while in the 9tltr Ur cuuOia. Wa thirl this action o,, the part of our Government the only proper one in dealing with such despot as Pes quera has proved himself and the result will be, a cessation for a time, of those annoyanccs, under which our citizens have suffered so long from his hands

NEW YORK DRY GooDs MARKET.-The
Independent, of the 9th, furnishes the fol-
lowing report of the dry goods market: The
demand, except with few leading houses,
has not yet como up to the average of past
years; but hopes are entertained that it
will do so. The offerings of silks, both fan
cy and staple, are very large, and all but
very desirable styles are easy to buy at
some decline. Few British goods have been
pressed fer sale, but French and German
fabrics are in heavy surplus supply The
quantity of shawls imported this season is
unusually large, aud can be bought cheap.
The demand for the West is not SO good
as was expected, and that was but SMALL
Domestic goods are comparatively steady.
But print goods have been sold in large
quantities at a'concession in price Cotton
staple goods are steady, but the declining
tendency in the price of raw materials, with
prospects of an abundant crop, this year, is
creating expectations of some decline in
goods ordered for future delivery. At pres
| ent. the stocks are not heavy. Domestic
woolens are active. Fancy casSimeres are
firm. Silk mixtures have ceased to be de.
sirable goods at present, and therefore, dc
not participate in the general buoyancy oil
OF the WOODEN domestic market.

that Thomas Hanna, for many years the es-
teemed and faithful Clerk of Perry county,
who was well known TO the members of
the bar in this circuit-has been nominated
for county Judge of Muscatinc county. The
papers in announcing his nomination, says:
Mr.. Hanna is lawyer who stands high
in his profession, and though only about
three years q resident of the county, he has
acquired large and lucrative practice. He
formerly resided in Perry county, Indiana,
and was a number of years Clerk OF the
Court in that county, discharging its duties
in such an acceptable manner that the office
was proffered 10 him still longer, but he pre-
ferred to come further West, and cast his LOT
with us. He is no office-seeker. His pres.
ent nomination was given unsought and
unasksd. When it was first proposed TO
him, he declined; but finally, after numer.
Gus and repeated solicitations, offered to &C
cept. As he is in every respect well quail
fed-being a man of good sound sense, ac'
tive business habits, and much experience
in public affairs, and withal of irreproach-
able integrity-the people may feel assured
that in his hands the affairs of the country
will be judiciously managed. -t. ,las.

The Iron Mountain. OF Missonri.

1888 the mountains known rs 'iron
Mountaiu,r was entered in the government
land office IA 81 25 per acre. Three years
later the entire tract was sold for 5000. Its
nresent value is almost incalculabie; for
though apparently an inconsiderable hill, it
is n more compact and extensive mass OF
metal than Pilot Knob, five miles Distant
IL is 22S feet in height, and its base covers
500 acres With the exception of thin
surface stratum of limestone, it is composed
exclusively of ore, containing II per Gent.
of pure iron.
the depth of the deposits has never vet
been ascertained The Iron Mountain
Company recently commenced boring for
an artesian well ut its base, TO supply their
works with water. After penetrating
through 20 feet of limestone and 30 OF
sandstone, they again struck the iron ore,
and bored into it for $50 feet when they
gave it up as pro6tless undertaking. They
| have since constructed reservoir TO econo-
mise the waters of Deighboring spring.
| The ore differs somewhat from that OF
| Pilot Knob, but the process of mining, roast
ing, and smelling are identical. There are
two furnaces in operation, both owned by
the same company, and turning out daily
about twenty-five. tons of iron. The COM
pany employs 300 workmen. The railroad
passes over portion of the "mountain,'
and within few rods Of it, on the same
level, the mines are constantly at work
blasting out and breaking up the ore.
Shepherds. Mountain, near Pilot Knob
contains rich deposits of iron, but no con-
siderable amount of mining has been done
there. The ore of all these mountains i:
stratifed, and they seem to bear evidence O
| volcanic formation. 1t is difficult to appre.
ciate their almost inexhaustible resources
Professor Swallow, the State Geologist o.
of Missouri, asserts that the deposits of orr
within few miles of Pilot Knob and Iro.
Mountain, above the surface of the valley s
are sufficient to yield one million tons pc
annum of manufactured iron, for the mex
two hundred years.
l. Granite Knob, a few miles from here, i
another of natures freaks, in this region. l
is hill of solid stone, and on the surfac
some fifty acres of land are covered will
boulderS of coarse granite, thrown into a
sorts of erratie positions, and weighing fror
ten to u thousand tons. Large quantities G
mica are found in the vicinity. This deposi
of granite in the midst of limestone regio
is a rare curiosity, and, think, unparallele
between the Allegheny and the Rocky Noun
tains.
Lead mining has been carried on for tn
last forty years at various points along til
line of the ST. Louis and Iron Mountai
Railway; but the metal is found only j
pockets of the rock, and does not ext.
in large masses, as through the great lea
regions of Southwestern Missouri. g

A EUROPEAN CoSGREss.--A Berlin paper

A EUROPEAN CONGREss.--A Berlin paper
of the Esd ult says that there is in Europe
a strong feeling in favor Of a Congress, not
Congress summoned like that OF Paris TO
submit the exigencies of the French interest,",
but Congress where the whole situation
OF affairs should be fully discussed, and res
olutions come to altogether independently of
the Conference of the chief parties in the
late war, excepting so far as the cession of
Lombardy by Austria isconcerned. On this,
Prussia and Russia are thought to be agreed,
and there can be no doubt but that England
will take the same view. The only matter
settled as yet appears to be the Lombardy
frontier. The question of the Duchies, of the
national debt of Austria, and some other
important subjects, are left for future con-
sideration.

An Eiopement and Chase.

The Cairo Gazette gives an account of the
elopement of the young, beautiful, and faith
less wife of Capt. Low, Red river boatman.
Having occasion to visit st. Louis, he took
his wife with him.. On their way up, they
formed the acquaintance of Yicksburg
Doctor, who, struck by the beauty and graces
of Mrs. Low, became devoted in his atten-
tons to her. The three took lodgings at the
same hotel in st. Louis. Mr.. Low having
occasion to leave the city for q few days on
business in the country, permitted his wife
to remain at the hotel. During his absence,
the lady and Doctor became intimate, and an
elopement was planned, and arrangements
promptly made to carry it into effect. The
doctor went to the clerk of the hotel, and
told him that Mr.. Low, who was detained
by business at Illinoistown, had requested
him to settle the bill and assist in the removal
of the lady and baggage to that point, pre-
paratory to taking the cars for Cincinnati.
The settlement was unhesitatingly made.
and the guilty pair left the city. s..
The next day the husband returned, and
not only found that his wife and the Doctor
had decamped, but that they had taken
with them the sum of two thousand FIVE
hundred dollars, which had been entrusted
to his care by friend, to pay over to an
other party He Immediately set out in
pursuit; he followed his faithless wife and
her adventurous paramour to Cairo, where
he lost all trace of them Believing they
had gone down the Mississippi, he started
South. A few minutes after he had left, il
was discovered the ranaways had gone up
the Ohio thirty hours before" he. reached
Cairo. The Captain is going South and the
fugitives North, and the spacerapidly widen
ing between them. 1t is probable the 81, SOC

mel on the line proposed. is ls6 feet. The
| bridge would have two or more railways,
which. it is estimated, could be traversed i'll
twenty minutes; and it would be so built as
to admit the light of day-being lighted at
night by gas. In order 10 prevent all fear
of invasion, the protector proposes that each
end of the bridge shall be commanded by q
strong battery. The towers, which would
be 100 feet in diameter, and 260 feet high,
would rest on colossal bases, 300 feet square
at the bottom, so square at the top, rising to
a height of forty feet above the water, FORM
ed of granite, united by iron bars. The
elevation of the tops of the towers would
thus be three hundred feet above the surface
