MORE Enthusiastically Herald learns
through private letter from Arizona, that a
hlibuster movement of formidable proper
tions is in progress in that region for the
conquest of Sonora. The organization is a
secret one, but nearly all the restless and
adventurous spirits of Texas, New Mexico
and Arizona are concerned in it. The
filibusters, the letter says, are anxious for a
Southern Confederacy, believing that they
would have greater license in their proposed
adventure than they can expect under the
Government as al present organized. Gen.
Buckley, commander of the 'sKnights of the
Golden Circle" and who is now in Texas, has
some connection with the movement, it is

the seat on the Supreme Bench which Judge
Baldwin will vacate on or about the first of jan

the position, but we think John r. Mcconnell
entitled to it, for reasons heretofore expressed
chief among which is his intimate acquaintance
with all law affecting the mining interest. One
thing may be taken certain-the people do
not want any second or third-rate lawyer there.

yesterday, just as the sun was kissing the
tops of the Buttes with his diurnal parting salu-
tation, the dome of heaven was lit with the most
gorgeous illumination that we have ever seen or
conceived of, outside the creations of Arabian
tales. The sky was full of clouds High up,
they hay piled in almost movelessbars or masses,
one above another, while the. sun shot through
them with intense power, and they fairly throbbed
with golden and blood-red life and light
patches of inefable blue being visible in the in
terstices of the rich embankments, like glimpses
of beautiful and cloudless realm beyond. I'm
derneath this gorgeous arch, the sullen clouds
nearer the earth glided upon the airy stream,
like 'dismasted ships upon an ocean current To
see everything so bright and glorious in the dome
above, and so dull and spiritless on the earth and
its neighborhood, below, was contrast too strik-
ing not to be observed with interest
Just about that time it was raining in this re-
