PRESCOTT, MAY Q, i.oe.
DECLARATION OF PEACE.

President Johnson, on the second day of April, issued a proclamation, declaring the rebellion at an end, there being no longer " organized armed resistance of misguided citizens or others to the authority of the United States Peace Is announced as re- stored and the government is put upon peace basis. IT disconteuted spirit were not shown by many who seem reluctant to re- store harmony throughout the country, this announcement would be received with uni versal joy and thanksgiving.
 While we are not of those who wish the guilty to go unpunished, or the great results of the war to pCoyc proftless, We hail the ad- vent of peace with unfeigned delight War is one of the greatest plagues that can aiilct humanity. and although the civil war now closed has exalted human liberty and ce- mented the Union of tue States it will be many years ere the marks of its carnage are effaeed from our fair land
 Let us be grateful that tue rozf of the red artillery is hushed, and that the sword is beaten into the blow share. Nor is there need of serious difficulty in the great work of reconstructing the Southern States. if car ried on in proper spirit. The utmost mag nAnimity consistent with justice should be showHb by the government. The quickest re- turn to civil rule and peace footing that can be had without endAngering the future stability of the Republic, or sacrificing liber- ty in any way, is desirable. The first ques- tion now is pacification. Every other is sub ordinate to it. All attempts to peryert the occasion to purposes of party, on whichever side, are unworthy of just men and danger ous to the public welfare. What the country needs is repose The conflict of arms has ceased; the conflict of passions, which led to that of arms, should cease also.
 The alacrity with which our heroic sol diers have returned to peaceful pursuits is not less honorable than their victories. They cherish no emities towards those whom they have overcome They did not fight for ven geance, but for the Union, the constitution and the enforcement of the laws.h They now want firm and lasting peace; no, merely cessation of armed hostiities, but public tranquility. They want, and we want all the channels of business to be reopened and the whole people left free to repair the waste of war and to regain their places, il they come as loyal citizens of one country with one constitution and one destiny

A CHURCH.

We doubt if there is in the whole land a place of equal size and prominence with Prescott, and settled by Americans, so utter ly destitute of religious privileges. The Sab bath brings no invitation to public worship the sound of the church bell is not heard, and the Sabbath school, the nursery of the church, is unknown, albeit children are nun erous.
 When the town started there was preach CT here, of whom it must be said that while he was bold in his declaration of the gospel, and unwearying in sustaining the outward ceremonies of christian service, his daily walk and conversation were such as to do in- jury rather than honor to his sacred profes- sion. consistent life is of the first impor- tance in the ministry: it is indeed necessary to command the confidence and reverence which are alike the minister's comfort and strength The life of pious minister, says Bishop Hooker, is visible rhetoric" and Dryden explains the secret of success in his familiar lines upon faithful pastor:
 " His preaching much, but more hh practice
 NIOm4hfs
 A living sermon Of the truths he taught" The West has been cursed with many in- consistent and mercenary priests the pre- tended representatives of all denominations Their hypocrisy has created degree of dis trust in the popular heart, which makes it important that those who undertake to in. struct the people in religious matters should bear clean record, and lead prudent and blameless lives. It is also great mistake to think that inferior talent is sufficient for the frontier If we may express our opinion up on the subject it is that the best educated and most experienced elergymen, those of the highest ability, are needed here, even more than in the East.
 Our pioneers, while used to wild life and without the restraints of society, are critical even hypercritieal, and an illiterate and boOr ish clergyman, is as distaseful to them as ono Of oily manners, who descends to horse trad ing and other sharp practices. We recently

ACTION.

Supplies have reached Fort Whipple, and we presume active operations against the Apaches will be renewed by the troops at that post and on the Verde Those at Date Greek and Skull Valley are chiefly engaged in escorting trains as are those at Fort Mo- have.
 We do not expect much from the regulars until they become more familiar with the country, but it is tO be regretted that the native volunteers have been in camp a single day for the want of rations. They have shown their capacity for hunting and capturing the Apache, and they should not be interrupted in the all important work.
 We trust that henceforth the volunteers, both on the Verde and elsewhere, will be kept in the field, and, that so soon as at all fittsl for service, the regulars will be on the

He has complained Of not being paid by the Department and having no funds, when large sums have been found to his credit he has made sub-coatraetS only 10 break them, and he has riyalled the Apache in retarding the of the country and haressing the people. \ worse manager, more incompe- tent business man, more shameless trifier with important interests, has not figured be- fore tbe Arizona pnblic in any capacity.
 IL would be difficult to estimate the dam age that has accrued and is accruing to our private and public interests, from his infa- nous msmanagenent, and only patient people and press could have borne with him so long. We now but echo the voice of the people, irrespective of locality or party, the popular, emphatic voice throughout the Ter ritory, when we implore the Postofbce De partment to come to our relief lt i- more than lamertable that country so long with out mails, and so greatly m need nt them should suffer SO kecnly from the neglect and trickery of contractor who receives large compensation, and has no excuse for his con duct.

GOVERNOR GOODWIN

Is apparently working with yigor und sagac- ity for the best interests of the Territory, and it is evident that the people made no mistake in sending him to Congress. Tamil iar with proceedings there by bis experience as a member from Maine, acquainted with the Territory and its needs, popular and in iiuential in the departments, he carries weight, and may, and undoubtedly will, ac- conplish excellent results The latest let ters from him bear date March l3th and he speaks of returning to the Territory during the summer. in letter dated February l6, be says:
 ' \ bill has been introduced in the Senate, referred tn the committee on Territories. and will probably be favorably reported on. Co annex that part of Arizona west of the Colo radO t0 Nevada. lt seems 10 me that we should not consent to the loss of any part Of our Territory. shall contest the matter when if cninea'to the House. unless hear from our people that they are in favor of it. 1T they are not, suggest that remonstrance be signed and sent to me. l think ] can de feat the bill here If l receive sueh7
 This is but one Of the numerous measures introduced in the present Cougress by the Nevada delegation to increase the area of that State. We begin to believe more than ever that the bottom of the W1shoe iniDes has fallen out, and that the only hope of sus- taining the credit of Nevada is in the aequi- sition Of some good mineral lands.
 That part of Arizona asked for is much of it unexplored, and what is known is a com paratiyely desert country, but with many good mines, including those at Fl Dorado Canon, which are rectened among the best we have. It also includes the settlements ol Callville, St. Joseph and St. Thomas, and in- deed the greater and better part of Pah-Ute county.
 We think our people will agree with ouE Delegate that the demand of Nevada is an audaeious one, and should not be submitted to. Now, when the part of the Territory asked for is organized, and has better pros poets than ever before, it is especially cool tc ask US to give it away. What oourse our cit izens should pursue to most strikingly ex- press their opposition to :he iae=saEc =..d [; strengthen the hands Of our Delegate, wC are not prepared to decide. We suggest however, that protests be signed and for warded at once, and it would perhaps be vel to let the popular voice be heard through public meeting or meetings.

TOO PAST-

We have heretofore had occasion to reprove oar eccentric friend Johnson, of the New Mexico (Albuquerque) Press, for his superfi- cial and unjust judgment of Arizona. We now have to take him to task for the follow ing, which is a part of recent editorial in the Press regarding mining, subject which is now attracting unusual attention in New Mexico
 "The newly awakened interest, on the part of citizens generally, in the development of the mineral resources of the Territory, promises to be fruitful of great results There are parties now prospecting for gold the Zuni and the head waters of the Colorado Chiquito, and between the range of noun tains east of this valley and the Pecos and | the Old and New Placeres still continue to reward the labors of those who wash the dirt of their gulches or grind quartz from their bowels. The weary emigrant, arrived at the Rio del NOrte, and taking wistful survey of the long four hundred and forty miles, over rough country, peopled by ruthless sayages, -h.cl .ateryenez between this and Prescott finds that he can dig as much gold in New Mexico, and without eDcOuntering the same dangers, discomforts and inconvenience as he would be sure to do if he arrived safely in Arizona. In New Mexico the miner has at hand constant market, in which he can pur- chase food, clothing and tools at reasonable prices, and is in region whose ,s,,derei9r,ef agricultural resources exceed those of Arizo- na or Colorado. Should he, however. con tinue his journey, and luckily arrive at Pres oott with his scalp on his head, he finds him self in A region destitute of a market, with inadequate agricultural resources, and where. at any moment, he is liable to lose his fife by the lance, arrow or bullet of the Apache.n
 The purpose of this tirade evidently is to keep the emigrant in New Mexico, and to prejudice him against Arizona. Now, while we do not blame Johnson for wanting to keep everybody in New Mexico, we protest against his foul reports of Arizona. Prescott is not in such a region as he describes, but quite the contrary. There is a good market here both for gold and agricultural products, and the agricultural lands of Arizona are, we believe, AS extensive, and certainly as good. as those of New Mexico, while our mineral resources, already developed, are ten-fold as great as those of that Territory. So far as the Apache is concerned, there is no danger If parties move with caution and in any nun Der above ten. Indeed, parties of from two to five have lately arrived here from New Mexico in perfect safety. .t...
