MINES AND soLprKRs IN ARIZONA. "A

MINES AND SOLDIERS IN ARIZONA. - a
volunteer from Amador county writes from
Fort whipple to the Amador Ledger, under
date of January 9th, as follows: We are
at this time in what is called the new Arizona
mines, situated in the San Francisco Noun
tains, It's miles east Of the California line.
These mines are perfect humbus for two
reasons First, there IS hardly water sutfi-
cient for domestic purposes, and second, the
mineral is not there. Provisions that come
from the Pacific coast have to be packed,
so that everything is very high; flour is
worth S35 per l0G pounds coffee, IS to 80
cents per pound sugar, 81; bacon and pork
81, and everything else in proportion. There
are n good many California miners here !;
they stay until they get out of provisions,
and then they leave. There is not one man
out of every twenty making anything, and
none are making grub The miners are
leaving faster than they arrive yesterday,
some forty-five men started back to New
Mexico, disgusted, and last Friday some
sixty started for California. From the
best information I can obtain, thesh mines
are a.splendid sell. Since left California
have travelled several thousand miles on
scouts and other marches in Arizona, New
Mexico and part Of Texas, and Ss God is
my Judge I would not give Amador county
for all have seen, in point Of wealth, and in
fact everything else.
On the Rio Grande there is considerable
excitement about enlisting in the veteran
corps. About one hundred Of the First Cali
fornia Infantry re-eniisted. The Amador
Mountaineers are all going home first, (the
furlough granted veterans being too short to
admit Of their coming home and returning in
timc). l don't think ans Of them will re-
enlist until they are discharged. We have
no commissioned officer with us that started
with u.s."

sented to us from New York, we fight till &c

THE CoSTRABANp SoLDIERs.-lt is
amusing, writes a correspondent from Point
Isabel, Texas, to see how completely non
p!ussed some of our soldiers are in the
possession of their money. Some never had
a dime in their lives to call their own, and
could not distinguish between a one, two or a
five-dollar greenback. One fellow paid ten
dollars for u watch, and his Lieutenant MOTTO
ing it, inquired the time Of day. Lor
Cap'n," replied the darkey (they call every
officer cap'n), al dunno-d'ye s'poSe l can
tell :" "Why do you waste your money for
watch then !" asked the Lieutenant, where
upon the darkcy broke into a loud laugh, as
he said, "Why, Cap'n, bought it so dey
couldn't keep dis chile on guard over two
hours.

THE EVENING NEWS.
On the Death Of Star King.

The noble man from earth has fed
How a nation mourns when the good are dead:
His spirit WAS formed for heller sphere
And twas but as a pilgrim he tarried here:
The country weeps, for the men nre few
Who prove through u lifetime so good md truc c.
Oh why did'st thou leave US at this lad time
The era of bloodshed and blnckest crime:
The earth is preserved while the good ones stay.
But alas for our hopes. they pass away.
The God whom he served hath taken him home
He snatched him away from the evil to come.
The spring has cnme-ihr calm blue sky
Will smile on thy grave; but the wind will Sigh
The bright birds will warbe az they do away-
But the sad mourning dove by thy grave will stay
The tears Of nation will bedew the spot
And thro' all coming time thout ne'er be forgo,

Too MANY IRoSs IN THE FIRI.-When-
ever you see gal with whole lot OF sweet
hearts, its an even chance if she gets
married to either on 'em. One cools off, and
another cools off, and before she brings any
on 'em to the right wedding heat, the coal is
gone and the fire is out. Then she may
blow up dust, but the deuce Of a flame can
she blow again. never see clever-lookin'
gal in danger Of that but do long to whisper
in her ear, "You dear little critter, you,
take care-you have too many irons in the
fre-some on 'em will get stone cold, and
t'other ones will get burnt SO they will
be no good in nature."-Sam Slick.

WHAT WARS HAVE DoSE.-Accustonied
as we are to the effects of war in civilized
times, when the most bloody contests are
followed by all increase in the numbers Of the
people, it IS difficult to form 4 conception Of
the desolation which it produced in barbar-
Gus ages, when the void produced by the
sword is not supplied BY the impulse OF sub
seauent tranquility. A few facts vii. show
its prodigious influence in former ages. Il
is ascertained BY all exact computation, that
when the three capitals Of khoraSsan were
destroyed by Timour 4,34I 900 persons were
put to the sword. At the same time 109,0GD
people were slain i'll the city Of Monsul.
which had risen in the neighborhood Of the
ancient city of Ninevch and the desolation
produced century and half before the
sack of GenghiS kohn, has been at least rs
great. Such were the ravagcs Of this mighty
ccnqueror and his Mogul followers i'll the
country between the Caspian and Indus, that
they almost cxterminated the inhabitants
and five subsequent centuries have been un-
able to repair the ravages Of four years. An
army Of 5000 Moguls, under the sons
Genghis, so completely laid waste the pro-
vinces to the north of the Danube, that they
have never since regained their former num-
bcrs and in the famine consequent upon
the lrTuptlOn Ol tue SAINT udI udI ldlS INV Si'
Chinese empire, $4,000, 900 are computed to
Timour, twelve Of the most fourishing cite!
Of Asia, including Delhi, Ispahan, Bagdad
and Damascus, were utterly destroyed, and
pyramids OF human heads, one Of which
contained $4,000 skulls, erected on their
ruins. During32 years OF the reign of Justi-
nian, the barbarians annually made an incur
sion into the Grecian empire, and they car
ried off or destroyed at All average OH each
occasion, 1000 persons. Nor was the de-
population Of the southern and western pro-
vinccS less during the same disastrous period.
In the wars of Belisarius in Africa, 5,OO0,OOO
Of its inhabitants pcrished; and during the
contest between that iliustrious warrior and
his successors Norses, and the barbarian
armies in llaiy, the whole Gothic nation and
nearly fifteen millions Of the natives Of Italy
disappeared. The plague which followed
these sanguinary contests carried of still
greater numbers than the swordi and during
the 50 years that it desolated the Roman
empire, it is said to have destroyed a hun
dred millions of inhabitants.

A DOMESTIC PLATFoRN.-One who has
had considerable experience in the house
keeping line, says that home should be sup
piled with such necessarieS as piety, pickles,
potatoes, pots and kettles, brushes, brooms,
benevolence, bread, charity, cheese, crackers,
faith, -four, affection, cider, sincerity, onions,
integrity, vinegar, wine and wisdom. Have
all these always OH hand, and happiness will
always be with YOU. Drink nothing intoxi-
cating-eat moderateiy-go about your busi-
ness after you have eaten your breakfast
lounge little after dinner-chat after tea
and kiss after quarrellins and all the JOY,
the peace, and the blessings the earth can af-
ford shall be yours, till the grave closes over
you, and your spirits are borne to brighter
and happier world.

IMpErIAL WIT.-It is said that Prince Je-
rome once called upon his imperial nephew
at the TuilerieS, and commenced TRADE Of
violent reproach, levcllcd mainly against the
reluctance of the latter to set the army on
the march for Italy. Amongst other things,
the old prince is said to have exclaimed,
"You have not drop Of the great Napole:
on's blood in your veins" "Well," replied
the immorable Emperor, "at all events !

giving at the same time such shrug Of the
appendages mentioned as indicated a violent
desire to rid them Of their onerous burthen.

head 60 in thig CHS and legs G2 in his arms

therefore 81, 100 in n day. There are also
three complete circulations Of the blood in

the comparative speed OF animated beings
and of i'm pelled bodies, it may be remarked
that size and construction seem 10 have little
influence; nor has comparative strength,
though one body giving any quantity OF mo-
ton to another is said to lose so much OF its
own. The Slnth is BY no means a small ami
