OUR NATIONAL PROGRESS.

 In another column we reprint from the N. Y. Iimes, some interesting figures from the census returns. They show the marvellous growth of the nation in manner that can but gratify every true American. History tells of no such progress under any other flag, and the glory of free institutions, and of gov ernment of the people was never made so manifest. Our material development as a nation has apparently met no serious inter ruption by the war, which is indeed won defful thing; for a war of such magnitude and intensity would have ruined any other coun- try beneath the sun. Europe, now that we are again united people and turned from war to peace, is appreheHs;Te Of s rapid ad- vance in power based upon our great resour- ces. Lately Lamartine, the fitful French poet, has made stirring appeal to the old world in favor of Napoleon's Mexican scheme. which he pronounced well calculated to check our national growth, but which has happily fallen through. He urges that every effort should be made to repress the usurping Re public of the United States. What the stake s how tremendous the prize to be won i; what immense and imperative interests are involved he explains in this wise:
 1.-The question is whether the collective neces. sities of mankind shall be surrendered by the mis- taken or timid policy of Europe 10 the mercy of the United states of English America,

 A correspondent writes as follows of trOub- les at Williams Fork:
 ." A party Of shiftlcss rats, without dime on earth, and no other recommendation, visited Wil- liam's Fork before the Territory was organized, and las they cla.m) put up monuments on every lode in this section Of the country. Among the lcdges which they now claim are some that have been worked for nearly two years, and are now ai the paying point Aitcr capital aud care have dc' veloped them, in good faith, and without the least knowledge of any previous claimants, these shlfless men, or their agents, set up demand for them, even though there is no proof of record of any kind"
 This is, in our judgment, all wrong. The lodes may have been found by those now claiming item, but they certainly were not taken up and held in proper manner, and it Is alike impertinent and unfair to set up a pretence to their ownership at this time.
 Our next Legislature should take this mat ter in hand, and where Indian troubles arc not likely to prevent, make it imperative that work shall forthwith be done, or the claims be opened to relocation.
 Colorado has suffered much from the same negligence of locators which is complained oi here. In the act regulating title to water powers and lode claims, which we print on the first page of the MINER of to-day, it i' provided that where person locating any claim has departed from and remained without the Territory for three years, no matter what rights he may have acquired, he shall forfeit said claim unless he shall appear and occupy and work the same within one year after tie passage of the act.
 This is no more than just, and a similar enactment will be demanded of our next Legislature by the people of the Colorado river, and ought to be adopted. Nothing can be more detrimental to the country than to allow Tom, Dick and Harry to take up claims, and pretend to hold them continually, without occupying and working them, or even living in the Territory.
 So long as it is done those who are really willing and able to develop the mines will be afraid to do so, lest after they have made good headway, expended large sums, and proven the value of the property, some un- looked for and undeserving claimant comes from San Francisco. New York, or the utter most parts of the earth, to interfere with them, and perhaps to put them to annoying and costly litigation. The law should be so amended that unless there are evidences of possession and of work upon claims, which none can mistake, they shall be open to re- losation, and there-lOcator protected, provided hNoccupies and developes them, from any and all pretensions on the part of the previ- ous locators. The future of the Territory de- bends upon the development of its mineral resources, and it cannot permit obstructions of any kind to stand in the way of those who wish to hasten the same.

Nor FULL.-We are glad to hear that lieu. tenants have been appointed for the two companies of the Fourteenth Regulars, at Fort Whipple, and are on their way here from tAe East. Whenever the com panies of the Fourteenth are spoken of it should be remembered that they are greatly deficient in officers and men. Mos, of the companies have bat half their compile. ment of men, owing to the numerous deser- tions while the regiment was in San Francis co, and to other reasons. If the companies were filled and fully ofiicered the force would of course be far more effective At present while nominaily there are sixteen companies in the Territory, in reality there are but six teen fragments of companies. We hope the companies of the two regiments said to be on the way here are not thus incomplete. These regiments, one of white cavalry, and one of black infantry, are reported to have left Fort Smith, Arkansas, some time since. To what posts they will be assigned we have not heard.

TERRITORIAL MINING CLAIMS.

There are so many Coloradians in Arizona and the experience of that Territory in min ing matters is great, that we to-day publish on the first page, two acts adopted by its last Legislature. They treat of mining questions, and have some features that are worthy of notice.
 It will be seen that each locator of lode is entitled to 400 feet, or more than twice as much as is given here. IL will also be seen that two claims on each lode are re- served for the Territory, and that distinct provision is made for the employment cf lesa! counsel, to defend the rights of the Territory in the same.
 It is true that the size of these claims tone hundred feet each, is not so great as that of the Territorial claim here, but the principle of their reservation for Territorial use is the same as that in question here, and if the Col orado law holds good ours certainly must
 lt should be borne in mind that the Terri tory does not pretend to give title as against the United States, bu; only against others, and why it has not the right, if it has the right to legislate on the mines at all, to look to its own benefit, we cannot under stand. Some may assert that 1t has no right to touch mining matters at all not few are of this opinion, but if this is SO, is it not strange that all the mineral States and Terri tory have legislation in this direction, and that the Supreme Court of the United States seems inclined to approve it?
