Despite the prejudice which the mailman,

THE COLORADO TRADE.

An important reduction in tonnage dues on
vessels bound from San Francisco TO the Colo
RADIO River, and which may have occasion to
touch at Ia Paz, Lower California, has been
made by the Mexican authorities. Credit is due
to TIE merchants Of San francisco, and to our
Consul at la Paz Hon r. y, Elmer, for their
activity in securing this advantage at the hands
Of the government of Lower California. 1t VIII
enable vessels bound for the Colorado to have
the benefit of freight to ia PEI, and lead we
hope, to the early establishment of bne oil
steamers from San Francisco to the Colorado,
via. that point. Messrs. Vim. Z. WadsWorth G
Sons, of San Francisco, in recent letter to the
Secretary, attach much Importance to the reGuc-
ton of tonnage dues, and also advise that rates
of marine insurance to the Colorado are from %
TO 80 l-3 per cent lower than at this time last
year. They have satisfactory evidences, as we
have, that much Of the Utah trade will be divert
ed by way of the Colorado River; and send the
following petition for signatures at this place:

IMPORTANT BILLS.

To-day we publish official copies of the bills
authorizing the issuing of bonds for an Indian
war fund, and for the raising of rangers, and the
bill Incorporating the Arizona Railway Co.
The loan bill is a very important one, The
commissioners under it, Messrs. Goodwin, " ooi-
sey and Capron are about to visit California to
negotiate the bonds. We hope they may be
successful. If we would have the Apaches
cleaned out at an early day, we must make every
effort tn that end The will Of General Carleton
Is right, but he has few troops, aud for the most
part they are ignorant Of the country and OF In
dian fighting. The men who followed Colonel
Woolsey in his expeditions from this part Of the
Territory, and those who have done battle under
Hon. Jesus NJ. Elias, and other citizen leaders
of Tucson, are admirably qualified for the work.
If the bonds find market, and the ranger COM
panies are raised, let them be composed Of such
men, and with corporation from the military,
under commander like Captain Tdball, Ito
whom the Legislative thanks for valuable servi-
ces are printed in the present number of the
MINER) the Apaches viii rot long be ter
FOR to OUT people.
The Legislature memorial to Congress- asking
an appropriation Of S250,e00 in aid of a war
against the Apaches correctly asserts that t" the
depredations of the hostile Apaches are now the
only barrier to speedy settlement of the Ter
rtory.Y HIG1 Effs}L
If Congress is liberal enough to grant us this
appropriation the Territory viii escape all in
debtedness but if not we cannot believe that
there is any one who will object to exchang-
ing debt Of much greater magnitude for the
troublesome Apache. Take him out of the way
and what would debt of million of dollars be
to our wealth bearing Territory? \
The Arizona Railway Company has a liberal
charter, and we have faith to believe that the
lcorporators named are men who viii act at the
earliest practicable moment. 1t may seem pre-.
mature to talk OF a railway in this new and wild
Country but the star of empire has of late beer
$50 rapid in its westward bearing, that we are
ready for any degree of progress Moreover W.
IRE more than ever satisfied that the Pacific Rail

The ARzoSA MINER is not political paper
and those who are eager to make it such will
have their labor for nothing while it remains 10
the present hands. In the initial number the
following platform,was avowed and it viii not be
departed from:
Independent in everything, the organ OF no
exclusive interest We shall not be without fixed
principles, and purpose TO maintain them. Be
eving, with the immortal Washington, that II
is only in our united character as an empire that
our independence Is acknowledged, that our pow
er can be regarded, or our credit supported we
shall to the extent of our influence, uphold ev-
cry constitutional and necessary measure adopted
10y the general government TO preserve the honor
and integrity Of the Republic. In this, however,
we shall not question the right of any honestly
to differ with Us as 10 men and means, nor shall
we decry as traitors and enemies those who 10
not approve every act Of the administration or
Of its agents l- 4,
From this stand point we supported Mr. Lin
coin for reelection. not because We thought it
was treason to criticize the acts of his admins
tration or rreconciiable with the staunchest 10y
atty to the Union and The government to prefer
some one else for the Presidency, but because
we believed his course 10 have been prudent
one, his integrity to be unmpeached ana unim-
peachable, and his experience Of indispensable
value to the country atthis time.
We are gratifed at his success by very deei7
ded vote, vote such as no President since
Washington has received. We read in it an ev-
beuce that the cry Of despotism aud tyranny
raised against the administration has taken no
hold upon the popular mind.
When General Mcclellan accepted the plat
form constructed for MIN at Chicago it was the
signal for his defeat Had be stood upon the
better platform constructed by himself in his pat
rlotic speech at West Point, he would have re-
ceived much larger vote. i5nar5
The masses of the people undoubtedly want
peace, but they do not want it through com
promise that may lead to a war within twelve
months after its sealing. OF such compromis-
es they have had enough. They want peace
which shall be enduring; peace which shall
secure TO the old flag all OF its stars, and to
the republic all of its Territory. They have
shown by their ballots that no amount of treas.
ure or Of blood will deter them from laborng
to obtain such q peace, and such only. Their
vote is an indication of high and unweary pat
riotism such az the world has seldom wit
messed. 1t must lead men of all parties AID
of all political sentiments TO know thai there
is DO hope of cessation of hostliities save
through complete restoration of the Union
The laws must be respected, and the flag hon.
ored in every State, then the rights OF ell viii
De guaranteed as Of old, and the republic united
peaceful, prosperous, Will stand first and most
powerful among the nations OF the world.

Prescott, November 10, 1864.

TO THE LEGISLATIVE CoUHcI.:
GentemeH--In reply to a Message from the
Legislative Assembly, inquiring whether have
any fa Their communications 10 make, il gives me
pleasure to inform you that oil business requiring
your attention has been submitted to you, and
have only 70 express :ny !a!i appreciation OF the
diligenee and wisdom with which your labors
have been prosecuted, and Of their great value b
the Territory
The task before you was indeed one OF no
ordinary difficulty. Since its acquisition by the
United States The Territory has been almost
without law or Government. The laws aud
customs Of spain and Mexico had been cashing
with the statute and common law of the United
States and questions of public and private
interest bad arisen, which demanded careful but
decided action. These questions have been met
and satisfactorily settled.
No portion OF the Territory has been over.
looked, aud no interest Of it's people has been
neglected In addition TO the ordinary business
of the session, complete code of laws has been
adopted one which will meet all the wants of
our young commonwealth, and will compare
iavorably with the statutes Of the older States.
on have been in session forty-thre days, and a
greater amount Of labor was never performed by
a legislative body in the same time.
/ congratulate you on the harmony and good
feeling which has characterized your delibera-
tons. AT time when political feelings are
strongly excited, you have suffered no party
differences 10 distract your proceedings and divert
your attention from the important work before
lyon. You can now separate with the conscious
less that your duties are performed
wish you q safe return to your constituents
who, l doubt not, viii fully appreciate your
labors and thank you one and an, Tor your
uniform kindness to me and f0r the many .okous
Of your confidence aud esteem.
