Ql)tta9o Qribn11e.


Arizona was admitted as State yester-
flay Colorado and other Of the Western
sisters .re to follow. Arizona, originally
known as the "Gads&en Purchase is
some $1,000 square miles in extent, and
was purchased from the Republic Of Mexi-
co for $4,000, 900, under treaty neeotia-
ted by sfr- Gadsden when Q. S. Minister
to Mexico. It lies between the 31st and
3Sd parallels Of north latitude, is sepa-
rated from Texas by the Rio Grandc
and contiguous to the Mexican
States Of chihuahua and Sonora
on the South, from the latter Of which it
was sliced Of. 1t is this about six hun
dred miles long from north to south, and
tlity miles in width. The principal rela-
lions between the territory and the United
States are through the Pacific States. The
present and menaced schemes Of the French
in Mexico have, as is suggested, had the
effect to admit Arizona for her better pro-
lection to carly sisterhood.
The Coppcrheads in Congress threaten
TO fi1lihustcr and dcieat the Conscnption
Bill. They will find themselves met and
matched. It is pity, however, that this
important bill was not put upon its pas
sage tic first week in the session. 1t was
the first demand the people had to make
on this session, that men be provided to
crush out the rebellion, MEN and MEANS,
both. AS it is these important measures
are pcrilled by the near period Of adjourn
ment
4 rumor comes roundabout through
rebel sources that Grant has captured
Ticksburg. Our own news warrants no
such belief: Indeed it is impossible. Our
dispatches Of last night chronicle fresh
exploit on which the gallant Queen Of the
West has left her moorings below Vicks-
burg, this time to take swoop among the
rebel transports on the Red River and
cut of the rebel supplies from that re.
.ion. The rebels cannot view the more
msnt with much delight.
The rebel rumor Of movement Of our
whole army from the Rappahannock must
be accepted for what it is worth It Ger.
tainly chimes in with the later aspects from
that part Of the theatre Of war. The army
Of the Potomac has probably no longel
an existence, but its troops viii
be set at work wherever they car

this better policy Of the enemy long ago

In the Legislature to-day the Chambers
rebel memorial came up. It is a miserable
farrago about ''the freedom Of speech and

not to represent Its authors as loyal men, it
merely spoke Of them as legal voters asking
tile Legislature to adopt such legislation as
in Its wisdom will best conserve their rights
rs such.
Mr.. Chambers moved to have the matter re-
fered to special committee, but nftcr some
debate, during which several members ex-
pressed their opinions that the body should
not receive the documents at all, 3Ir. Cham.
bcrs consented to have 1t referred to the
Committee on Federal Relations.
The debate was continued before the com
mittec Of the whole, Mr.. Chambers taking tht
lead, his position being the same as thai
already given. BE cried aloud for peace, ani
