G0LD.-Tbere is good reason for believing
that gold was the first metal eth which man
became acquainted Its peculiar properties ren-
der il the best for the purpose or being worked
by primatiye people. Gold is the only metal
which is used IN the arts and manufactures The
process Of extracting all the other metals from
their matrix or ore is so tedious aud dilic1: that
without gold, II is probable our forefathers would
have had no metal at all to use. We who live
at this period of the worlds history, can well be-
Iieve how little advancement could be made in
civilization without metal Of some kind. Now
those qualities which we recognize as metallic, in
the highest degree, are possessed by gold, and it
IS thus we see' even in this single instance, u
proof oil the Creators wisdom, and adaptation Of
a means TO all end. Gold, most easily worked
of all the metals, the moet imperisEable, the
most brilliant aud attractive, was the first that
vas given to man. No other metal could have
served the purpose so we'll as the one we find

MAILS FOR NEW MEXICO AND ARIZONA.

The Journal Of Commerce, kansas City,
has the following timely article
We trust that the present Congress will not
adjourn, without making ample provision for an
increase of mail facilities TO New Mexico. That
Territory had, by the census of 1860. pOpula-
ton of ever $4,000, ranking first of all our Ter
rltories. Its productions are various and large.
Thus by the census, we find it's production Of
copper for the year ending January let, 1860, TO
be $4l5 900 -four and meal $4,000 amount
invested in industrial establishments, over $1,000
600; assessed value Of real estate over 81 000.-
00O. and OF personal property, nearly 81 5.O00O00
1t ranks number ten among all the States and
Territories in the number OF its sheep, and It's
production of wheat exceeds that ot either Of the
New England States. The annual trade Of this
Territory with the States, is immense and rapid
iy increasing. Last year il amounted To an sg-
pregate OF pear l5.0000O0 Of ponads. valued at
between swo and lhree millions of dollars.
This rapidly developing Territory. already en-
titled 20 rank with ,naDy Oh The States IN The
Union, ia now limited ic mail facilities with the
States, 10 single weekly mail This Heagfe~
ness Of supply contrasts strangely Wits ibe lioer
al mad facilities which Congress has bestowed
upon the more norShefsy Territories. And yet.
NeS Mexico oGsDgE0ess Any OF them ln popu-
iaiIOn -eXceeds them 10 many oil lts pFoductloDs-
and is the theatre Of important military opera
tons requiring the maintenaEce Of large body
OF troops and the support OF several permanent
posts.
10 addition to the interests Of New Mexico
proper, requiring additional mail facilities there
are the demands Of the newly organized Terrific
ry OF Arizona. Its Government is Dow 10 full
operation, and the discoveries OF rich and eStea-
sive deposits Of the precious metals which have
lately been made 10 that Territory, fully confirm
ing what had long been known OF its extraOrdi-
nary mineral wealth, viii doubtless attract TO il
rapidly very large population.
In view OF all these considerations, we do not
see how Congress. in justice TO the people Of
those distant, yet most important and rapidly
developing portions Of our great country, or thu
general interests of trade and territorial growth
can hesitate TO establish daily mail route from
this city to Santa Fe, in place OF the present
weekly route fGs
We commend this subject to the attention oil
our Missouri Senator'S and Representatives in
Congress. 1t rs worthy of their active and
pressing abors. u~: s-.xs.

The Union League of this place sent
fifteen of its members to Indiana to vote,
and the Union League at Trenton, an alb
clifton town on the Ohio and Mississippi
west of here, sent nine Of its
members. The departure of these men a
few days before the election, and their re-
turn couple Of days after, were remarked
at the time, and leaky member of the
League divulged that they went there to
vote, and that their expenses were paid by
the League. 1t is believed here that the
Union League all over the State sent as
many of their members to Indiana as they
could pay the expenses of. Perhaps

General xIOvcy,s Ordc r.

We publish in another column the order
of Gen. Hovey to the "Sons of Liberty"
in Indiana This is remarkably strange
document to send forth in State where
it is not pretended that the civil laws can
net be enforced. The general assumes an
authority every way unwarrautable under
the circumstances. Were the State over
run with guerrilla bands, or the rebels
organized in force within its bounds, and
the civil courts unable to punish crime in
the usual manner, there might be some
excused but even then no Justification for
such An order. 1t is said that those
whom the gods desire to destroy, they first
make mad" and it may be, nay doubtless
is, true that the redoubtable knight of the
guilt General Hovey, has been set apart
by the gods as sacrifice on the altar of
his own folly and ianaticism. Certain it
is that 10 sane man desiring the good or
der of society would for moment harbor
the idea of wreaking vengeance upon the
innocent for the crimes of the guilty.
That is practice left to be inaugurated
by the astute Swans Of the present ad-
ministration among whom Gen. Hovey, is
more conspicuous than honored. We sup
pose however, that he is acting under or
ders, and that his official acts are iu reali-
ty but the reflex of ideas entertained by
those to whom he is indebted for his pres
ent position We have no doubt but that
the same OF like orders would have been
issued by any other man who could first
bring himself to the point of accepting the
position now occupied by hi n, that of
military Governor OF the State We ask
all candid and fair minded men to read
the order referred to, and then ask them
selves honestly the question: Can l support
an administration that tolerates, if it does
not actually direct, its subordinates in the
course they are now pursuing in Indiana
What say you honest republicans, do you
endorse these fragrant outrages upon your
rights citizens IF you do, vote for
Lincoln if not, vote for Mcclellan.

for the annihilation of all constitutions, ell

that render every good result impossible,

From Washington.

WASHINGTON, October 2l-Provost
Marshal General Fry, in letter to the
Mayor of Washington says
Credit will be allowed only for such
men as arc retained by the draft.
Persons who are drafted and fail to re-
port are not considered by law officers of
the government nor by the Provost Mar
shall Generals Bureau as obtained in the
meaning of the law. They will not there
fore be credited unless they shall be SUBJ
sequently arrested and held to service.
La view of this decision some of our
prominent citizens have taken measures to
discover the whereabouts of those who have
failed to report, offering a reward of $50
for every man drafted who may be caught
md held to service.
According to General Fry's communi-
cation it would appear that citizens are
held responsible for drafted absentees.
President Lincoln has issued procla-
nation setting apart the last Tuesday in
November for day of Thanksgiving and
praise to Almighty God for, among other
things vouchsated to US, many ana signal
victories over the enemy, and recommend

tons to the Great Dispenser Of events for

From the Richmond Enquirer.
To be plain, we fear and distrust far
more these apparently friendly advances
