To ADvrRTEERs.-we have now a elren.
lation Of 7d0 copies, which u steadily in-
ercasing. To all parts Of Arizona, Texas,
New Mexico, and to some extent In old
Mexico our paper ranges. All the latent
and paicn, mining, agricultural and com
mcrcial resources of vast and improving
scope of Territory, can be reached through
our columns; and We would respectfully
suggest its Importance to those who would
build mp trade with the new but permanent
progress which within our radius is rapidly
developing.
ouR FLlG.-Thc Confederate flag Of
Mcsilla, which SO many of Lincoln's officers
in this Valley had under special considera-
ton. and which they threatened to tramplc
/ in the dust. it has been determined shall
/ be the rcgmcn,al co.ors Of the vi Regiment
/ of Texat Mounted Rihcmcn who very gal
lautly put it out of the power ofthe Federal
forces TO insult it. The U. S. garrison
colors of Fort Fillmore have been made in
to three Confederate flags one of which
floats. proudly over Fort Bliss, one over
Fort Fillmore, and one over Mcsili.
Hon. Granville II. 0ury, having been he
unanimous choice ofthc people for Delegate
TO Congress, received his Certificate on the
18th and departed for Richmond on the 10Th
inst. He will actively represent our inter-
csts in Congress- and within two months
we will undoubtedly receive the Territorial
organization we have so long needed.
Many wagon loads of stores etc, partially
DESTROYED by Lieut.. Moorc's Command, ut
Cooks Springs, have been brought to Fort
Fillmore. Two fine pieces of artillery are
among the spoils. The carriages and cas-
sions had been burned, but the guns were
no, materially harmed; and all the irons
of the carriages and cassions had been
saved.
DISTRICT JuDGE-Capt Tccl has been
appoin,ed Judge of the 1st judicial Dis
trict of Arizona. Capt. H. c. Cook was
appointed to this position, but the accept
ancc was conditioned upon the result Of the
Senatorial Election in FL Paso County.
Having been elected to the Texas Senate,
be declined this position.
NORTHERN MAIL.-Thc remnants Off
mail from Santa Fe, reached here on :hc
17th inst 1t had been uverhaulcd by tho
U. s. authorities, and the letter opened and
read, for the purpose of discovering treason
we suppose, against the Lincoln govern
mcnt, of which there must have been
substantial quantity. The Indians captur-
= cd the mail again Oh, the Jornada, and ''s-
tered it over the ground. 1t was collect i
again, and finally reached here much of it
without envelopes. If the U. S. officers
think it their duty to open private and
family letters we hope they will seal them
up again, and do us the charity to forward
item heir destination.
IyuIANs-Thc Navaiocs who captuf'
the train on the Jornada last week, burued
up the wagons and such guns and property
as had been rendered unservicnblc They
captured Ii head of cattle and horse, ANA
about 20 good mimic muskets. They are
reported by Mr. Brown who spent several
day in their neighborhood, to have large
herds of sheep and other stock.
The Indians fired at Juan Nuns of this
place, near La Mesa, and arc reported by
many to be prowlinig about til ue'EhnI-
hood. Mai Waller sent Capt. Frazer w''h
20 men, to give them particular attention.
The western mail which arrived on tii-
day the 18th, brings intelligence Of y dar~
ing attempt by the Apaches 10 take Inc
, town of Tubac. They surroundcd thc town
and kept the inhabitants in great fear.
Srccor arriving from Tucson, the Indians
reluctantly raised the siege. 1t has been
decided to abandon under the present state
of affairs, all points except Tucson and san
Xavier Tubac the Henntzleman Mines, and
the many ranches of San Cruz and Sonoita
will be all deserted.
CHIuUAHuA.-W We notice in "La Epoca'
of Chihuahua city, of August I'd, an article
in regard to emigration, from which 1t ap-
pears that the war between the Confederate
and Federal States, has induced avery con
siderable emigration to Mexico. The arrl-
val of large trains is noticed in the States
of Nueva Leon, Durango and Chihuahua.
One train of twenty families, with 2O3 per-
sons is especially mentioned. The impor-
tancc of protecting and encouraging this
emigration is highly appreciated and ear
pestly urged upon the attention of the Con-
gress of chihuahua, now in session.
We would suggest to the 'antiquary of
the San Antonio Herald, that between the
northern line of Texas and the southern
line Of New Mexico, there is scope of
country called ARIZONA: that it is proposed
to form this country into aTerritory of the
Confederate States; that the present and
future trade of this country is matter in
which tie city of San Antonio by its posi-
ton, is vitality interested. We would sug-
gest, moreover, that, as he is evidently a
studious calculator of the variations of tho
public weather-cock, that shifting indicator
points this way occasionally. North
north west-wcslerly, Judge, a new moon
is rising from the clouds.
The Picayune, under the head of "Bomba
Revived says that Lincoln " is daily pre-
,lo ,op,a of KIM Numbers.
