NISSAN vi AnrzosrA. NAV 8. 1855 Yesterday
was the day fixed by Provisional Constitntdn for
the election OF county officers throughout The Ter
ritory. The election here passed on very quietly,
there being but one ticket in the field and but little
or no opposition to the different candidates. In
other counties in this vicinity the election passed
/ over as quietly as here. We are now fairly en-
barked upon the ocean of the future, and we look
/ forward anxiously to the day that Congress shall
extend to US its helping hand By an OF
our Territory !.

bitter enemies of an organization, now dare mot
say that neces ity exists, lestthe people should
arise en- nadsse and rebuke them. Coy. Owings ID
organizing several ranging companies, who hope
TO be able to take the field early in June. must
be evident to the minds OF all, that great, q very
great necessity exists when hard working men are
willing, or rather compelled to forsake their daily
avocations and ratoning themselves, take the Held
without pay for protection against hostile savoges.
Yet the Government, Notwithstanding these
/ facts, have ordered the small remnant of troops
stationed at Fort Fillmore away. leaving US two
hundred miles from any post IN the Territory.
This may be policy, but. cannot see it. With

doubt. A company recently found in this vicinity
have succeeded, in their first experiments, IN pre-
ducng gold In sufficient quantity to promise well
for the future. Yet this mining requires much
labor and capital. Gold does not exist hero in
such quantities as to pay men to spend only 4

abound in silver, copper and lead. Enterprise and

of wealth which would be deemed almost fabulous

mines will prove source of unlimited wealth ~
