The Aesllla Times, Of the 10 n ult furnishes The
following intelligence:
Speaking of gold a Mexican "a erchant and specu
lator in hesilla has twenty five pounds of the dust
Several OF cur merchants have it by the pour q
If the dust were only made circulating m dJum
in Mesills, these tight times would be almost en-
tirely relieved.
At Camp Roblero. there are at present three
companIes-Capts Pyron's CooPwooi's and Fra
zers The grass Is excellent in the vicinity OF the

That portion Of our territory lying adjacent 70
California, and on the waters Of the Colorado river
of the West is attracting much attention III Califor
MA although almost unknown to this portion Of the
country. Two large mining districts have been
prospected, and fair placer dggings discovered and
the best of gold quar- T. and extensive silver re
gion, similar in resources to the Washoe country
and equally rich. These districts are named Potisi
and Colorado. Our Galif---i- raAanCes notice
lars emigration TO those points One -EA, uIIU Is
much inclined to abolition. says in this way the
Territory may be revolutionizsd and made sound IL
politics.
By private letter from DR. J Nagle to W D
Ski!lman. Agent of the S. A. and D Nal Co dated
FL Paso, Sept 18th, we gather the following:
"Our mail down this week, was cut OF By thirty [
Apaches, under Nicholas, fifteen miles from Eagle |
Springs. Owing TO the heavy state Of the road, the
mail was being brought on packs. aud the men hav
ing carried the breastwork made by the Indians 10
hold that position they hsd TO abandon their stock
and the mail, which the Indians took possession Of
We had one man, Lamberg, wounded but not sari-
ously Our men got off about sun up, and fell back
on Quitman, where we have l6 or 20 men. Captain
Holiday, who is there will try and put the presa
mail through, with what men and stock we can
spare though the Indians have possession OF the I
road, and will probably attack the FTeT chmdns
train We will perhaps have to mount 10 or u
men with each party for the present.
"Since writing the above, Stewart tells me that
the Indians attacked his party about o'clock. p.
NJ 18Th, and he thinks they left him about midnight
to follow the Frenchman's train"
1t is proposed to initiate martial law in Arizona
Lieut.. Col. Baylor. second in command Of the "a
Texas Mounted Rife Regiment, and by the inter
probation of some men, not Governor of the Terri
tory of Arizona has made speeches to the inhabi-
tants on the opposite side of the Nile, suggesting
that they petition him to declare martial Law in the
Territory; and petition, we have been informed,
has been circulated for that purpose, and has sew
eral hundred signeTs.
The necessity in this Territory. the slightest q
necessity does not exist for the establishment Of
martial law. We have Just escaped from one des
potism, and why should We be plunged into an Is
Law? law which recognizes ne Il
bGbeds corpus, whose tribunals are secret, from
whose decisions there is no appeal for whose pro
eeediDgs there are no Investigations, no house or
home invioate, safe in property or liberty -
That the intelligent portion of this community re =
yuire desire any such order of things Is false.
