for defence at home, and thus make ready
| to meet the enemy wherever or 10 what
ever shape he may show himself, We may
10 the very moment OF victory be suddenly
defeated. For this monster of rebellion
will not die easily. Two months ago We
printed in this column letter of warning
written by gentleman then in the South,
aud well acquainted with the resources
aud coudirion of the rebels at that time
de wrote;
Are you awake to the present situation
of the rebelsi They were never so strOug,
never so hopeful, never so determined as
now. Hope aud desperation alike inspire
them. Tuey have every available hgut-
log man in their armie-; you must crush
them by force OF numbers-by dead weight
squeeze the lite out OF the monster. Moth
log short OF that will DO II. IL Will take
an effort such as We have never betUre
made, to break them. For Heavens sake
do not let the people OF the tree states be-
fool themselves with dreams OF an easy
victory. II will be hard victory; the Sc
veresI struggle OF modern times aud OF
our war. Toe very fercest OF the contest,
| know, is before us. Tne rebels have
means enough, arms enough and men
=
their leaders are desperate meu, whose
lives are set upon the Issues, and who will
6ghI with all the bitterness aud all tae
skill Of which men desperately determined
TO succeed are capable. W. must puL
forth all our strength, or be beaten
Ga the other hand, they have now every
man who Can bear arms 10 the held. They
have exhausted their resources IN their
preparations for this campaign. De5-
troy thse armies, wipe them out, aud they
eau raise no more. We edH therefore
close the war this summer; II the govern
ment is vigorous. and II the people actwith
II, we can have peace before October.
There is not a doubt about tLis. But you
must not toss up your hats too 5000; you
must not relax yoar efforts TO keep the
armies full aud strong; the rebels must
be pressed without ceasing, and our ar
mics must present constantly q superior
force-else We shall loose through our own
negligence, the victory which is now
fairly within our grasp.
We repeat these words here, because
events have shown their entire truth, and
because we desire to impress upon our
readers that victory is uot easy, nor yet
sure, except upon the condition that for
the next four or FIVE moaths the whole
strength of the country ia put torth to Sc
cure it, aud unless, too, every citizen is
awake 70 the dangers which menace US
from differen; directions. But, on the
other hand, with vigilance and energy on
our part, the eud Is near aud certain; the
rebels cannot maintain the Unequal strug
gle more than few montLs, ia the straits
to which they are reddced.

OF our miDes and miners. A man who has
for years struggled to attract the attention Of
government to this long-negected region, aud
who was in any degree instrumental in securing
its organization who when it was not safe for a
white man to live here, came here and invested
his money, and has persistenty endeavored 70
convince the world (even at bis own pecuniary
loss) of our vast mineral resources, has positive
claims to our confidence and hohors.
If such a candidate be in the field though ha
be not demonstrative, though he has not time to
take every elector by the button-hole and I'll bis
ears with some portentious promise, though he
has not been professed politician for a score Of
years, and an unsuccessful asprant for every
Office ia the calendar, and ia a dozen States and
! Territories, the chances are ten to one, that i
elected, he will DO US good where the other could
but effect our injury that his quiet, unosteuta
tious ways will command an Influence and sue
cess in Congress which no amount Of bombas
and spleen, on the part of political hack, coulC
possibly achieve. The poorest wheel Of car
rage is always the one that makes the mos

THE DELEGATE.

The election will take place before the issue
oil another number Of the MINER. We have
word, and but word, to add TO our remarks IN
the last number, upon the Importance Of select
ing the RICH. man for Delegate. BY this time
lhe people know who are to be candidates, and
ara, 10 the main, well posted upon their respective
merits. They can, and we believe will, distin-
guish the worthy from the unworthy the honest
man from the charlatan. They will not be hood
winked by the consequential clustering of the
demagogue, who bankrupt in everything is eager
20 retrieve his misfortunes at anybody's expense
They will not support the chameleon who is on
all sides of all questions affecting the interests Of
the Territory, who to-day assumes the character
of a conservative aud to morrow wears the radi-
cal garb with equal nonchalance. No confidence
cau 5e placed in such man. He might, or be
might not, serve us at Washington. just as i
pleased him. We should have difficulty in as
certaining his position, and having learned it, il
knowing that he would retain it FOE the mex
twenty-four hours. TO accomplish anything a
Washington we must have man Of character
Of at least ordinary success in life, OF known ca
pacity and position, whose interests here hay
cost him enough to give him realizing sense Z

OUR QUARTZ LoDEs The latest returns from
specimens Of gold and silver rock sent to San
Francisco from the odes hereabouts are even
more favorable than those before received We
learn that collection Of specimens from seven
lodes taken hence by gentleman who left in the
winter, were pronounced by the assayers at the
mint, to be finer than any equal quantity of sur.
face rock ever seen from the Wasboe region
The indications from the lodes upon which shafts
have been sunk, are highly encouraging. The
"Benedct" and " Hassayampa silver lodes, upon
which considerable work has been done, are
yielding some exceedingly rich rock, and speci-
mems from the Chase, the Albany" the I. Ma
tive American" the JULIA" the "McDougal''
and other well-known lodes, are full OF promise.
The lodes sre not only large and we'll defined, but,
with few exceptions, encased in q foreign rock,
which is we believe, an excellent indication.
Moreover they are admirably situated for work
ing, being in a region heavily wooded, well wa.
tered and favored with climate which renders
labor agreeable at all seasons Of the year. With
out detracting from the merits Of others, we be-
| lieve it to be the impression Of experienced and
impartial miners, who have examined them, that
that thc =" Benedict and Hassayampa lodes
will alone, il properly worked, Insure the lasting
prosperity Of this district In every test, but the
crushHg OF large quantities of the ore, for which
there 10 yet no machinery at hand, as well as in
size ana in position they are quite up to the
standard OF frst-class hedges, and far in advance
Of many OF great notoriety in the New York and
! San Francisco markets.

THE LEGISLATURES.

Very important questions vii! come before
this body questions, the decision Of which must
affect the Territory through al time 1t were
criminal to allow weak and irresponsible men to
be elected Nothing will excuse inattentlon on
the part Of the people to the character and
worthiness Of those persons for whom their votes
are cast. A little care a little labor Will give US
"a Legislature of capacity and integrity, and Of
which we may be proud. With such body Of
lawmakers. our government may be speedily and
firmly established our various interests well
and satisfactorily guarded. 1t is of the first i'm
portancs that the beginning should be right. Let
US see to 1t then that regardless OF partzan
lines and in sincere eagerness to promote the
success Of our new country, We bring forward
and elect only the best men--those who will
prove faithful under all circumstances, who will
study the public good and ignore personal preju-
dices and considerations. d0u'u .. ~

Col. CHAVEZ REPORT. - Seven columns OF
the Santa Fe Gazette OF June | 8 are occupied
with Col. Chavez report of his movements from
the time Of his leaving the Rio Grande, with
Governor Goodwin and party, in December last
to the date Of his recent return. 1t is an inter
eStng paper, but OF course too long for our short
columns. The Colonel mas done much TO invite
attention to our " terra incoenita. and as he il
to accompany Capt. Anderson and the company
OF regulars TO be stationed at Fort Whipple. to
show them the " cut off," he will probably make
that road an entire success, as the delayed letter
Of Chief Justice TnFner on our first page suggests
it may be, with slight deviation from the route
taken by the Colonel on his return from here
Col. Chavez pays high compliment to our
amiable friend, 1t. Frank ii. Robinson, and the
Missouri troops.

ROADS TO THE COLORADO.

There is difference Of opinion as to the best
route from the Weaver and Walker mines to the
Colorado river and go to California. The want
Of water is, we fear, likely to become an nsuper-
able objection TO the Ehrenberg road, from
Weaver to La Paz. Thus far all efforts to Sc.
cure wells have failed The expense Of sinking
artesan wells is such as to make il improbable
that they will soon be tried, although many pre-
diet their success. The route is direct. and in
all but water, an exceedingly good one. 1t
should not be abandoned saving from positive
necessity
The road to Fort Mohave is conceded to be
with slight exceptions an excellent one, well
supplied with water, wood and grass. The cost
OF making it OF easy passage for wagons is repre-
scented as likely to be very small. The connect
ing road from Mohave to San Bernardino and
LOS Angeles, is sai, TO be the best from the Col
orado westward. 1t follows the Mohave river
and is every where well furnished with the requi
sites for travel while the sand is not SO bad as
lower down upon the desert. On this road us
upon that from Ia Paz, there are stations. with
accommodations for man and beast, ct interval.
not exceeding forty miles.
The trail from here by Williams Fork as here
tofore known has been considered impossible fol
wagons--bnt hiessrs. Lount, Noyes and the
gentlemen who lately accompanied them frou
La Paz, have found way. somewhat north OF the
Fork. by which the distance from Prescott to tn,
Colorado will not exceed lis miles, and owe
which, with the expenditure Of little labor, tn,
heaviest trains can be- taken So confident ar,
they of the feasibility of the road. that they ar
determined to bring their saw and quartz mill b,
it, and have returned. with Mr. Benedict, Il
make the required Improvements.
These three routes, briefly described, may all
we believe, be made entirely practicable for gen
eral travel, and thus from a state OF comparative
inaccessibility We shall find this central an,
promising part Of the Territory placed in cas-
and direct communication with Colorado River
and with California, whence most Of our supple
must come. The improved navigation OF tn
Colorado will doubtless soon crowd the market
OF La Paz aud the other towns upon the rive
with goods, which, with roads at all passablC
must bring them TO us at far cheaper rate tina
they can be supplied from the Rio Grande, d.
spite the difference ia the currency.
The interests Of the Colorado country are in
seperable from those Of the Walker and Weave
mines, ami we hope there will be no delay
making communication prompt and satisfactory
No ordinary obstacles should for moment
allowed to stand in the way of an end so obv
0usy important 10 all concerned.

False RgPoRrs.--We learn by letter to the
Secretary, from w. G. Still, Esq, postmaster at
Los Angeles, that the deroeatory reports which
were 30 freely circulated in California during The
spring. by the returned adventures from
here, have had their day, aud that there is a
growing interest and confidence il the Territory
Perhaps no one of the Territories has been so
shamefully misrepresenied as Arizona. Not
content with proncunciug it desert, the most
malicious and monstrous stories OF our Indian
troubles have been promulgated. MIR. Noyes
who lately arrived here, tells us that he saw q
letter in San Francisco, written from San Diego
which asserted that the Apaches had killed fifty
miners in Walkers gulch, and that the Walker
and Weaver mines were wholly deserted. But
for the timely interpostion OF Mr.. \. this
precious canard would have been in print.
a gain Mr.. y. was assured by man who repre-
that there was not a stick OF timber here large
enough for walking stick and this when Mr. n
was purchasing saw mill, for the coming oil
which, and many more, this whole region is anx-
iously waiting. For the inventors and vendors
OF these wilful and contemplate lies, as well as
those who coolly insist that we have no mineral
wealth worth the naming, we have no adequate
words Of condemnation. We can assure them
that va have timber, from which, il they venture
here and are recognized, they will probably b.
dangling in mid-air, before they can have time t.
swallow their viainous fabrications.

GEy. GRANT-General Grants purpose to
make speedy end of the war in Virginia, is
likely TO be realized sooner, perhaps than he ever
expected His constant advance in the lace OF
every difficulty which skill aud bravery can Gre
ate, shows not only his superiority as com
mander, but the efficiency and high bravery of the
forces under his command. The actions fought
during the month of May. are OF themselves, suf-
fcient to place him in the front rank of military
chieftains. II was no misjudgment on the part
of the President when he placed Grant at the
head of the army, and invested him with more
authority than had before been given to any
General in the field Perhaps from this itself
may have sprung some of our success, for thai
there has hitherto been too much bureau dcta
tion in regard to tie order of marches and tn,
strategy OF battles cannot be questioned. AL
that IS now happily ended, and we have Chic
