ARIZONA CoNvENTION.-The Mesilla Times
OF March 10th, contains the proceedings of
a Convention held at Mesilla, on the 10th
OF March, which was presided over by JAS.
III. Lucas, and addressed by Z. T. Herbert
A preamble and resolutions we're adopted
in which the grievances of the people of
Arizona received from the Federal Govern
ment are recorded at length, their sympa-
thy with the South declared, and their de-
termination to go with the South strongly
expressed. The President of the Conven-
tion was authorized TO call an election for
a Delegate TO the Southern Confederacy
as soon as informed that the States forming
such Coniederaey had ordered elections for
Members of Congress. They resolved not
to recognize the present Black Republican
Administration, but to resist any officers
appointed to the Territory by said Admin
istration, with whatever measures in their
power. The chief complaints against the
Federal Government are, on account of the
failure to provide Territorial Government
for Arizona, failure to protect the inhab-
tants against the Indians. and the withdraw
al of the Overland Mail service from the
Southern route. The resolutions are to be
submitted to vote OF the people on the
second Monday in April, and 10 the mean
time the President aud Secretary Of the
Convention remain in office. At the con-
clusion of the meeting, three cheers we're
given for the cline in which Washington
was born and in which Pulaski found q he
ro's grave aud three cheers for Gen. JEFF.
Davis, President of the Confederate States
Of America. Gen. w. G. Jones had announ-
ced himself as a candidate for Congress.

Geology OF the Moon.

Some opticsl appliances bring the, moon
sufficiently near to enable us to study her
geology. No earthly scene can give any
idea of the desolation regning there. The
whole sphere appears TO have been former
ly torn up from its very entrails. The So
called seas are most generally supposed to
be arid plains Of sand. The circular ram
parts of the mountains, in shape like ann
phitheaters, enclose vast craters with one
or more cones rising from their bottom.
These ramparts are broken by multitude
of breaches, aud at their feet lie prodigiOus
heaps of scattered rocks which do not APP
pear to be held together or covered by any
vegetable mould. Lord Rosse's telescope
shows the fiat bottom of the grand crater
OF Albategnes to be completely sprinkled
over with broken rocks aud Father Seechie
has obtained Photographic image of the
enormous fragments Of rock which are piled
at the bottom of the annular enclosure
which forms the Circus of COpernicus.
Nj. Fave, a distinguished French astrono-
mer, says that the moons surface is quite
new. so to speak; that is, it has undergone
no wear and tear The earth's superfces,
although much more recent, have been
worn and ground down in all directions by
the continual action of wind and water.
The moon is the object in which to study
plutenian action. or the effects of heat in
all their purity, aud deserves more atten-
tion than she has hitherto received from
competent observers. Her singular marsh
es, CULTS, aud seas circular valleys; her
isolated mountains, standing on level
ground, without any apparent rise of the
surrounding strata her rectlinear issures,
which look like canals dug by an intelligent
hand her innumerable variety of oblong
bills, lying nearly In the same direction.
with but slight deviation from the merid-
ian lines the different shades of her soil,
from the stellar brightness of certain peaks
up to sombre gray aud steel blue all these
diverse appearances make strong appeal
to natural history aud geology.-[All the

Coon News FOR CALIFORNIA WINE GROW
ERs.-The passage of the tariff of 1861
promises to prove of great benefit to the
wine growers of California. Ii places du.
ty Of fifty cents gallon on all foreign
wines, and will thus drive foreign still wine
out of the market in this State, and gives us
a much larger market in the Eastern States
than we have hitherto had. The demand is
greater than we can supply for some years
to come, and if we will but furnish them
now with good article, our wines will OBJ
tain such a custom that they cannot after
wards be driven out The great increase
of our vineyards during the last four years
will not prove proftless; and good wine
will be made by millions Of gallons, and it
will command high prices; labor will be
required to prepare it for the market-and
intelligent labor, of class will be paid.
The consequence will be a great impulse to
the population, industry and permanent
welfare of the State. We have before us
letter, written in New York on the 2Sth
ultimo, by z. Sainsevain, who says that fifty
pipes of his wine had arrived there in ex-
cellent condition, clear ard sweet and there
was a good demand FOR both the still and
sparkling California brands, which are reg
ularly kept at some of the best and most
fashionable hotels in that metropolis

A ASPY.-Ex.Secretary Thompson has ac-
knowedged himself to be spy while in
the Cabinet with Buchanan. In a recent
speech in Mississippi, be says:
AS was writing my resignation, sent a
despatch to Judge Longstrect that the Star
of the West was coming with renforcements
The troops we're thus put on their guard,
and when the Star of the West arrived, she
received warm welcome from booming
cannon, and soon beat retreat
He further rejoices over the attack as
follows:
| was rejoiced the vessel was not sunk
but was still more rejoiced that the con-
cealed trick, first conceived by Gen. Scott,
and adopted by Secretary Holt, but coun-
termanded by the President, when too late,
proved failure.

NEVADA TERRTToRY.-0n several occa-
sions we have alluded to the bad taste of
our Washoe friends, in applying the name
Nevada to the territory. The bill creating
it Territory has been passed in both hou-
ses of Congress, and signed by the Pres-
dent. Nevada Territory it must be; and
there will be lifelong confusion, caused by
its bordering on Nevada county, Califor-
mia, which has for its county seat the city
of Nevada. 1t was horrible taste that de-
manded that name for the Territory.-[Si-

A CORRESPONDENT of the New York Times
says Mrs. Lincoln has beautiful hand and
foot and ear, showing that she is Of a "well
born" family. If a beautiful hand and foot
are requisite for proving good blood, the
royal family of England cannot be said to
possess the article. The Queen has foot
like brick, aud the Prince of Wales has
very large and not we'll shaped hands and
feet. AS for the feet they are huge and fiat.

A SINGULAR CRCUMsTANcE.-A friend of
ours in this city received letter, not long
ago, from an acquaintance in the State Of
New York, relating an occurrence of the
most singular character A man was found
dead in the snow, out in the woods, with
his body lying on his rife, face downwards,
and bullet-hole in his side. II was thought
that he bad been murdered. An inquest
was held, and on examination the following
facts were apparent: He had shot a squir-
rel In beach tree, and had killed it. for
the squirrel was lying dead at the Toot-the
ball had struck the tree, and bounded to
another, and thence came back to the man
striking him in the side, and lodged in his
heart. as was demonstrated by post mortem
examination. There were no human tracks
in the snow for long distance around. and
no evidence whatever of the mans having
been killed but in the way described. There
was the print of the ball on the beach tree,
the print Of the rebound on another. and
the flattened bullet itself inthe mans heart.
Of course the jury returned verdict ac-
cordingly. We have never heard of an oc-
carrence parallel to this.-[ [Marysville Dem

about II o'clock last night, and taken before
Justice Clark at the Guardhouse, charged with
committing violent and premeditated assault
upon Samuel Strong, Esq. From the evidence
in the case, ii appeared that Mr.. Strong, ac.
companied by a friend of his, Mr.. Christopher
Adams, was crossing Twelfth street and Penn.
sylvania avenue, when Kelly commenced fol.
lowing them with stone in his hand, and
began abusing them in a most insulting man.
ner. Mr.. s., not wishing to have anything to

when Kelly came up behind him, and caught
him by the coat, tearing it considerably, and
at the same time struck him violent blow
ON the head. The assaulted party turned upon
same sort, and then continued his walk.
When they got to the corner of Eighth street
aud Pennsylvania avenue, one of them saw
Kelly slyly approaching, with large stone in
his hand, which he threw at Mr.. Strong, striking
him on the head. Mr.. Strong caught him, threw
him on the ground, and held him until police
officers arrived, who took him to the guard
house. On the way there, he Gut good many
antics and at the guardhouse he became Sc
uproarious that they confined him in cell

Prospectus of til. National Republican.

Believing that the time has arrived when the
great Republican pa: v of the United States ought
to be fairly represent ID in the daily press of the
National Metropolis we have embarked in the
Of Columbia with daily publication, under the
title of the " NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,"
In its political department, this journal will
advocate and defend the principles OF the Repub.
lican party, and endeavor to dsabuse the public
mind of groundless prejudices which have been
cngendered against 1t, by the false accusations
Of its enemies. Having the utmost confidence
that the administration of Mr.. Lincoln will be
such as to merit our appreciation, we expect to
yield 1t a cordial, but not servile support In
the great issue that is likely to be made with his
administration, by the enemies of the Republican
party, the people Of Washington an:l the District
of Columbia have moro at stake than the people
Of any other portion of our common country. We
believe that to support Mr.. Lncoln's admnstra-
tion will be synonymous with maintaining the in
tegrity of the Federal Union, against the machin-
ations of those who would rend 1t asunder. No
one can doubt upon which side OF this issue the
people of Washington will lie found, when they
come to realize that 1t is fairly forced upon them.
We feel confident, therefore, that in yielding to
the administration of Mr.. Lincoln cordial sup
port, we shall have the sympathy of an immense
majority of the people Of this District and vicin.
ity.
1t is not our design, however, to make the
National Republican mere political paper. We
intend, that as n medium Of general and local
news it shall not be inferior to any other journal
published in this city. We shall pay particular
attention to questions of local policy, and advo.
cate such reforms as we may deem essential to
the prosperity of the city, and to the advance.
ment Of the moral and material welfare of its
| inhabitants.
We deem it unnecessary, however, to multi.
ply promises, as the paper will. Immediately make
its appearance, and will then speak for itself.
1t will be published every morning, and de-
livered to city subscribers at six cents per week
Mail subscribers, $3.50 year, payable in ad
vance.

ana avenue and Second street.
