nG" The Republican Convention at
Chicago, which nominated Mr.. Mcoln
passed this resolution
Resolved, That the maintenance inviolao
Of the rights of the States and especially
the right of each State to order and con
troll its own domestic institutions accord
ing to lis own judgement exclusively, is
essential to that balance Of power on which
the perfection and endurance Of our polit

lawless invasion by armed force of the soil
of any State ar territory, no matter under

crimes
Ia his Niagara letter Mr.. Lincoln now
declares that the control over the dom es-

them in our Constitution, and in the con-
federate Constitution not less explicitly
shall be assumed by "an authority that

VOLU ME 20.
The Horrors of st. Domingo Re-
peated.

We regret to perceive that our Black
Republican contemporaries, who never fail
10 rsise q hue-and-ory whenever the Con-
federstes, as in the case OF the burning Of
Chambersburg, overstep the recognised
limits Of warfare, studiously refrain from
giving publicity to similar or much worse
outrageous acts of barbarian perpetrated
under the direction or with the tact ap.
proval of Federal commanders. We have
published a number Of extr acts from South
ern journals in relation to the conduct of
the negro troops under General Sheridan,
during the recent raid into WestmorelaDd
County. 1t is impossible for manhood to
restrain the blush of shame and indigna-
ton at the perusal of the enormities Of
which these unressrained savsges wsre
guilty.
Without reference TO the system of IN
cendiarism and destruction Of private prop
erty that seems to have been adopted IN
those useless and vindiotive raids that have
become theme for boastfuness on the
part of the Administration organs, there
are deeds upon the records so horrible that
shuddering Christeudom needs no further
incentive 10 send forth its protest against
this infamous war, which seems to be de-
basipg human nature on this Continent
below the attributes of the brute creation.
| What American can read without humili-
! alton such statements as the following {:
"Mr. Ben English, after having every
thing destroyed, was stripped, tied up, and
given thirty nine lashes with the cowhide.
And more horrible, but only too true, twen-
ty or thirty ladies were violated by this
party of negroes. Six negroes violated
being sick at the time with an infant six
months old at the breast"
What power is there TO subdue race Of
freemen ne-ved to resistance by the men,
ory Of such wrongs The Southerners
would be the lowest of towards, the most
abject of slaves if they would consent, wa
will not say TO lower their weapons in subs
mission but even to be reconcled to foe
that sanctioned these outrages by their
black my yrmidons, Let the people of the
North proclaim to the world that they are
not sanctioned by the popular sentiment
The honor of the North demands that i'm.
mediate steps should be taken to prevent
the recurrence of such horrors. A mass
meeting should be held to express the
popular abhorrence of su,h crimes, and
TO demand of the Administration that ef-
fectual measures be adopted to repress and
control the Internal lusts OF the negroes
f and that if they insist upon arming them
. for the bu,chsry Of white men, the person,
of white women shall at least be spared

SS- In August, s62 Mr., Lincoln wrote
to Mr.. Greeley:
My paramount object is to save tho
Union, and not either save or destroy sla-
very. If could save the Union without
freeing any slaves, l would no il; if I
could save it by freeing some and leaving
others alone, would also do that. Whas
do about slavery and the colored race,
do because believe il helps to save the
Union and what forbear, forbear be-
cause do not believe ii would help TO
save the Union. shall do less whom
ever l shall believe what am doing hurts
the cause and I shall do more whenever
believe doing more will help the cause.
Mr.. Lincoln last letter 10 DIR. Gree
ley declares two objects of the war with out
which it shall not cease, "the Integrity Of
the whole Union and the sbsndooment {
| 81 avery" He does not base the latter W
on the former as effect upon cause. Each
is the co'squal and eo-ordinste of the 9th
er, His paramount object is not now TO
"save the Union and not either to save o.
destroy slavery, RS avows openly thss
slavery must be destroyed as we'll as the
Union saved. The salva,ion Of the UBion
is not even protested 10 be the exclusive
and paramount object. tr.. e..

BD- In his first message to Congress,
st the extra session in the summer of 1901
Mr.. Lincoln said
Lest there be some uneasiness in the
minds of candid men as to what is to be
the course of the government toward the
Southern States after the rebellion shall
have been suppressed the executive deems
it proper to say i. will be hi, purpose then
as ever, to be guided by the Constitution
aud the laws and that be probably will
have no different understanding OF the
powers and duties of tho federal govern
msnt relatively to the rights of the states
| and the people, under the Constitution,
that they expressed in the insugural ad-
dress. He desires to preserve the gov
ernment, that it may be administered for
all as it was administered by the men
who made it. Loyal citizens every where
have the right to claim this of their gov
ernment, and the government has no
right to withhold or neglect it. It is NOT
perceived that, in giving it, there is any
coercion, any conquest, or any ,subjugs'
ton, in any just sense OF those terms,
Now a'owing that the abandonment of
slavery shall precede the acceptance Of
overtures of peace, Mr.. Lincoln's message
can be interpreted only as the confession
that he is doing what loyal citizens have
right to protest against his doing, and
what he violates the Constitution of thu
United States in doing.

THE sHOHAyE ROAD.

The mission of Captain Enos, who accompani- ed Major Willis from the Rio Grande to this place, was to find if possible, direct snd practi. cable, wagon road from here to the Colorado. He was not successful in discovering any except tol Fort Mohaye of which Mr. s. II. Herring, one of the California Volunteers, who was with hm, furnishes us the following account:
 "The country between Fort Whipple and Fort SIohave is much broken Three ranges of mountains of granite, quartz, sandstone and volcanic formation, san North and South, with intersecting h!!s and plains. Thete IS but little land that can be cultivated, owing to an insuiici ency of water for irrigation. There is, however water enough on the road for trains, and it is oi an excellent quality, the longest stretch without water being 25 miles. from one of the tributaries of Williams Fork to HuaIpais spnBg. Grass IS abundant, and ihe mills are wooded with cedar and pine to within to miles of Mohave from which to that post. there is desert. Game is plenty upon the road.
 Alter striking the Beale ronte, we found few miles of graded road, though pretty steep. The ouly really bad rlace between Whipple and Mo- have, with the exception of some heavy sand near the Colorado, are in crossing tha ranges 0l mountains. We could not avoid crossing a suc- EcSSlOu et spurs uhu TdNlueS WuiSu uldhc hut route difficult for heavy wagons. The passage through these might be greatly improved by { little labor, or perhaps better road might bt found further North"
 This testimony is that of many who have beer over the route, and we think it sufficient tt de
 monstrate that the road is by no means impracti
 cable But we do not give up securing goo'
 route from the new mines to the Colorado, at tn mouth of Williams Fork. Captain Walker, an'
 others whose judgement is worth having, ar
 conident that such an one can be found. If
 should be, it would form a connection with : road lately travelled from there to Los Angele
 and pronounced the shortest and best from th n Colorado 70 the Pacific.
 This matter of roads to the Colorado, is vel r. important one, and we shall be obliged to persol j. who will furnish additional facts concerning ar
 of them.

met Coi. Woolseys messenger to that Chief at Antelope and having been literally supplied with provisions turned off with his braves to join the expedition above the lower valley of the San Francisco. By this time we hope that the forces of Col. Poston and Col Woolsey are united
 Our readers need not be told that it is of the 6rst importance that this movement against the Apaches should he cordially sustained The supply of provisions contributed from this post consisted simply of four, bacon and coffee for sixty men for thirty days. Much more will be needed to keep the large party on the war path for fifty or sixty days the shortest time in which they can accomplish all that is desired. Sub scripton lists have been opened for obtaining funds to procure additional supplies from Ante lope. Captain Walker volunteers to convey them to the expedition within twenty days. We are glad to know that many liberal donations have been made and we earnestly urge all to give freely If we would have peace and prosperity, and secure the increase of population we so much
 wish, we must put an end to the Apache disturb
 ances. Nothing will so surely hasten the occu-
 patton and development of the Territory-and no lconsummation is so devoutly desired by all who
 have the best interests of this rich mineral coun try ut heart.

TOWNS AND SUPPLEMENTS.

One of the best indications of the confidence felt. both in the mining and other resources, of the Territory, is shown in the advancing pros perity of the old towns. and the spfnging up of numerous new and promising settlements. Tue son. the best known place in the Territory is it's youth. People are locking m from all quarters, and hear that it is quite difficult to get rooms there, but that new buildings in course of construction, are likely to supply the demand.
 La Paz, on the Colorado, is also said to be gaining in population and trade. It is in the centre of an important mineral region has Steamboat communication is on the direct line from California to the new gold fields hereabouts and already has 8 stage llne from San Bernardino The opening of the Ehrenburg road to Weaver will put La Paz in quick and direct communca- ton with this district.
 On the Colorado. in direct line west from Castle Dome Mountain, town has been laid out on what is termed the Pitoti (deriving it's name from weed found only in that vlcnityl, called Castle Dome City, the situation of the same be- ing eligible, as there is permanent landing for the river steamboats. From the city to the mountain, good wagon road has been opened over perfectly level plaln composed of gravel, the distance being only twenty miles.
 Arizona City, opposite Fort Yuma, is likely to become busy place. It is the point from which goods brought up the river for Tucson. must be landed, and whence government, and other traiRs are constantly starting. In the new gold region Goodwin. named in honor of the Governor) on Granite creek, 30 miles South of this post is located in a tmbered and beautiful country Already several stores have been erected, and there indications of enterprise, on the part o the proprietors of the place, winch must, if perse yered in. make it success.
 The settlement of Weaver, at the digging: known by that name Sometimes called the An- telope diggings) is growing, and if the road tc La Psz is found practicable, it must attain con siderable importance.

THE CHAVEZ CUTOFF.

To-day It. Col. Chavez returned from his explorations for direct road from here to the Little Colorado, at the point where the Whipple road first reaches it from the East that is to say about 90 miles West of Zuni. Surveyor General Clark and General Carleton, were both of the opinion that such cut off could be found, and the latter authorized Col Chavez to make search for it, and to return by J if practicable, to the Rio Grande We are happy to announce that Col Chavez reports wagonroad, we'll supplied with wood, water and grass, Going from here to Woclseys Ranch, 90 miles, nearly South, the general direction from there is North Eastery
 over comparatively open and level country
 saving forty miles of heavy timber, cedar, pine and pinon. The San Francisco river is crossed
 in the upper valley fou. miles above the point
 where the Governors party surprised the lndan
 rancheria There is hut one large canon upon
 the route, that called by the Colonel, the Cathe-
 dral Canon, owing to its curious formation. IL
 is described as mnch less formidable than Hell
 Canon ca the Pishon soad i5 miles North of
 seventy and eighty miles of travel from the Rio
 Grande to the new gold fields and some sixty
 miles in coming to this post. In opening this new and direct connection with the Whipple road. the Colonel has rendered timely and most important service both to Arizona and to New Mexico. We congratulate him, and the General lCommanding. upon their sagacity n the matter l and we have no doubt that when the roads from
 here to Fort mohave and La Paz ars properly developed we shall nave 8 continuous route from the Rio Grande to the great Colorado, and to she Pacific, much superior to any upon the continent.
 About 50 miles North East from here, Colone
 Chavez discovered handsome fake, mile ir length and of nearly the same width, which he named Lake Carleton. He gave names to the , various springs, streams, and camps on the road ! all og which will doubtless appear n his oficia report, which we hope to publish. The Colone ; with Lieut.

EmoRArroN-G Governor Low, of California, writes to Governor Goodwin:
 "There is considerable interest here in Arizo- na. The establishment of your government will give an impetus to emigration, and have little doubt that the summer will witness quite an in- Aux of people from this coast into your Territo- ry."
 Letters from the Eastern States bear the same encouragement. There is little doubt, despite all the reports derogatory to the Territory but that we shall have large increase of population during the present year We hear of several trains on the way from the Rio Grande, via Fort Wipgate. Col. Chavez hopes to meet them in itime to direct them to his new road. si Es
