Arizona. 1.-The Apaches and Secessionists
seem to have things all their own way in this
territory, and to be about equaly violent. Forts
Buchanan and Brec&inridge, at Tucson, were
abandoned early in July; everything that could
not be taken away being first burned. The
troops have gone to 81 PasO. The only grist

CHKAP ESJoYMEsr.-Those seces-
sionists who are attempting to prey up
on the honesty Of Union men by prating
about taxation remind rs Of an old gen.
tleman who estimated religion Just as
rebels estimate constitutional freedom.
The old man declared, in an exhorta-
ton to people to Gil up his church. that
his was the cheapest religion he knew
Of anywhere; he had been q member
twenty years. and it had cost him
only six and fourth cents. The Union
men Of Kentucky are members Of q
Government that derives its power to
tax from the consent Of the people, and
that Government has never felt the
need Of direct taxation until now, when
a military despotism is endeavoring to
throttle it, for the destruction ofits very
existence. Men who could object to
such self-preserving tax as that would
begrudge their wives their needful
clothing and food.-Lou. Journal.

DIssENsIoN IN THE REBEL CoUNsELs.
The Memphis Appeal admits that there
has been disagreement between JEFF
Davis and Lee, the former advocating
a mere defensive war, while the latter
was in favor of offensive operations up

perior valor of his men to compensate
for any want of numerical strength. -
Beauregard and Johnson agreed with
Lee, but JEFF Davis was strong enough
to overrule them all in the Cabinet OF

unparalleled magnitude and ferocity Of
the war that soon is to burst upon US.

first place, we believe that the United

ARREST OF A SECESSION LIEUTENANT
CoLoNEL.-Quite an excitement was
raised in the city yesterday by the ar
rest of Confederate officer, who made
his appearance in our streets in the
morning, attired in the garb of a civil
ian. 1t happened as follows: Col.
Guthrie was walking along Third street,
accompanied by military friend, and
near the corner of Walnut street gen.
tleman passed him, whom he imme-
diately recognized as Lieut.. Colonel
Tyler of the Confederate army, former
ly Captain in the Second Dragoons.-
On being assured that he was not mis-
taken in the matter. Colonel G. ap-
preached the secession officer, and in
appropriate terms" told him he was a
prisoner of war. Tyler, after recover
ing the little shock which his nervous
system sustained on the reception of
this news, said that as he was not
dressed in military uniform, and visited
the city as civilian. he had no idea of
being arrested. He was compelled,
however, to reconcile himself to the be-
lief, and in few moments, accompa-
nied by Col. Guthrie, he went to the
Burnst House. On his way thither, he
explained the object of his visit TO be to
convey his wife, who is daughter of
DR.. ]. J.-B. Wright, of this city, and
at present residing at Sedamsville--to
Richmond, Virginia.
About an hour after his arrest, Ty-
Ter was taken to the United States Mar
shal's Office. Mr.. Sands said be had
no authority 10 detain q man as priso-
ner Of war, and could do nothing in the
matter. While the prisoner was in the
seficel Of the District Attorney. DIR.
Wright came in and said to him. "Didn't
you receive the dispatch I sent YOU to
dNashville7" He replied that he did
not. DR.. Wright then asked him il
he "did not receive dispatch he had
sent to him at Louisville?" He replied
that be did not. The DR.. then told him
that he must take the consequences of
his rash act, but congratulated him up
on falling into such good hands as Col.
Guthrie's. The kilograms referred to
we're warnings not to come to Cinciu-
natl; the rash act was the trip hitber.

A RECIPE FOR CoETEErMEEr.--Try
to compute your artificial wants--the
number Of things which you fancy come
under the head OF must hayes' merely
because other people possess them, and
not because you would not be quite as
well off and as happy in their absence.
Try it for one week, whenever your
fingers are tempted to daily with your
purse-strings. Record in your memo
randum bookwhat in view Of this you
sensibly resolve not to buy, and see
what nice little sum will be left for
your real necessaries. It is seldom by
these last that one is hampered and
annoyed. Make the experiment, and
see lift is not so. A just economy is
not niggardliness; one need not be a
miser in avoiding the extravaganza of a
spendthrift.

A CHEERFUL VIEw.-The following
cheerful glance at the future is from
the Boston Commercial Bulletins mon
ey article Of last week:
Our point then is, that our people
should soon begin to think of some
thing else besides war. Not that they
should or could lose interest in--but
they should not con6ne their attention
to it. There is something besides war
in the American horison. Much OF it,
indeed, is as clear as ever. The storm
has visited US, but is now passing away.
The country is selling much and buy
ing little. Gold is daily arriving at the
seaboard for eventual circulation, by
means of the Government, among the
people, and for larger than usual ba-
sis for future credit. All who can
make or do anything for war are prof.
itably employed. and those who pro-
duce foreign consumption are rapidly
increasing their means, whether for pay
ment of debts or new purchases. Food
is consumed, clothes wear out; and
with the agricultural population selling
to good market at home and abroad,
people must soon buy. The recent
failures have been few and compare
lively light, and the crops all over the
North present very favorable appear
ance. Are we not justified, then, in an
encouraging view of the future? Will
not the autumn bring with it some re-
vival of trade and enterprise?

Neither blockade nor war would demor-

rebels opened this case by an appeal to
the arbitrament of war, and in that

BLACKBERRY WIEE.-The American
Agriculturist gives the following re-
ceipt for making Blackberry Wine:
Take the ripe berries picking out the
decayed ones, and press out the juice
through close linen cloth. To each
quart of juice add one quart of water,
in which is dissolved two pounds of
good white sugar-second quality, or
"B sugar" answers well. Put into
glass bottles or stone-ware Jugs, and
cover the mouth with millinet or any
open woven cloth to admit air and keep
out insects. Set in the cellar for six
months, more or less, and then pour off
carefully from the lees, into clean bot
ties. and cork up for use as wanted
For large quantities, clean oaken bar
rels may be used, covering the bung
with millinet. 1t is not essential to
rack off the wine until wanted for use
or for sale.

SISGURAE SIMULTA-
EEoUs DEATH OF AN AGED COUPLE
An aged couple living at No. 40 Knzie
street, iu the rear, were found dead in
their dwelling yesterday morning. un-
der peculiar circumstances. Their
names were SoIan. They were from
Dublin, Ireland, and came to this city
about two years ago. at the solicitation
of their children. There seems to have
been a mistake in this movement, as
they left comfortable home, and came
here to endure poverty and suffering
Their children neglected them, and they
were supported by the labor of the old
lady, who took in washing. She was
over fifty, and he was sixty. His in
frmities confined him to his bed, and
she worked for him, and attended to
his wants, with devotion which was
only equaled by the extreme care and
neatness which marked every feature
Of their humble quarters. She worked
all day Friday, through the terrible
heat which prevailed, and on Sunday
was as well as usual. The day was
one of scorching heat, and a neighbcr
said that they suffered greatly from it..
The old man lay in his chamber, when
one of their daughters called for visit,
and, in company with her mother, they
sat and talked with him until night,
when he said he thought he would try
to sleep. They went down stairs to-
gether, the daughter leaving for home,
and the old lady sitting upon the low
est stair as she went away. There they
died; an old man in his bed up stairs,
and she sitting upon the stairs that led
to his hamber-faithful guardian in
death, as she had been in life. Neither
Of them anticipated the event, or knew
the death of the other. Hand in hand
they bad gone down the bill oflife. and.
inseparable in death, they slept together
at the foot. The old man lay calmly
reposing, with the pillow smoothed by
the last touch of her loving hand; she
sat upon the step with her head resting
upon her weary arm. Their souls went
out together into the unknown world,
and still undivided, explored the dark
valley of shadows.
