IMBEcILR REASONS.

Some parties, among them the Sacramento Union, argue that President Johnson is wrong because the Copperheads, Democrats and ex- rebels pretend to support him on those points where he differs from the Radicals. Such style of reasoning Is not merely absurd-it is imbecile. By adopting it as correct, We should deny the sacredness of the Christian religion and the divinity of Christ, because many copperheads and rebels believe in and indorse both We should also favor perjury, adultery, and such crimes, because many copperhcads and rebels condemn them. That is very low order of intellect which opposes "A principle or measure simply because certain parties approve 1t, and which approves certain acts for no other reason than that they are disapproyed by and are distasteful to political or other opponents. As to President John sons official acts, they should be approved or condemned solely on their own merits or de- merits, without the least reference to what party or faction of men may approve or con demn them. The question is not, What will please or dsplease rebels and oopperhead leaders, or any other class or faction of men 2 but, What is right, just, and for the honor, welfare and best interests of the whole na- ton and humanity in general This last question Is the one for intelligent men to de- eide, and If they are true men, free and hon est, they will make up their decision accord ing to their own judgment and conscience That individual is lacking in all the elements of manhood and the attributes of a freeman. who, with all the facts before him, hesitates Co form an opinion as to the right or wrong of matter until he has discovered how other parties think upon the subject, and how he can best spite enemies or please friends by making up his opinion; and he who, having become convinced in his own mind that certain course is right, and fails to pursue that course, is less than man, As for the Demo crats who now pretend to support Johnson, this is free country, and they can advocate or condemn his policy as they please
 President Johnson's restoration policy is simply that inaugurated by President Lincoln and indorsed as legally correct by the Union Congress of 1863. If the Democrats are hon estly supporting President Johnson's policy, they are supporting principles which they opposed SO late as ten months ago, and have come over to President Johnson instead of his having gone over to them. Johnson stands where he stood when nominated and elected by the Union party he stands where Lincoln stood; where Seward, Doolittle, and nearly all the Union men of the country stood year ago. If he is wrong now, nine tenths of the Union party, including Pres : dent Lincoln, were wrong last March How idiotic and imbecile it is, then, for men as- suming intelligence, to claim that Johnson and his policy are unworthy of support, be- cause, for strategical reasons, the longtime opponents of that policy pretend to approve it Again, if we are never to do anything which will please the late rebels, we need never expect the re-establishment of the Union with harmony and prosperity.

EXPEDITION TO THE CHrRfcAHUA MoUS- TAIss.-Arrastra Johnson comes to us from Jack Swilling with the following statements regarding proposed expedition to the Fran cisco river, Sierra Pintos, Apache Pass, the Chiraeahas mountains and Chase's creek, under the command of Mir Swilling. The expedition is to start from Wickenburg on the 20th of May, and from Pima villages on the lst of June, for the purpose of pros pecting in the country named. Each man is expected to provide himself with an outfit for three months, and at least thirty men are required for the company, and sixty will be taken, if so many offer themselves. Twenty men, in wickenburg, have already signified their readiness to go, and it is thought that at least thirty will go from that place alone Swiiling wishes parties from this part of the Territory who desire to go with him, to ad- dress him at Wiekenbtrg without delay, that he may give them all particulars of the ex- petition, which he will promptly do, and, also, that he may know how large | company he can depend upon. The expedition would start sooner but for the want of horses, which have to come from California.

EL DORADO CASoS.-The San Francisco lhi~iag and Scieatife Prsss of March Sd, has the following
 |" For he Colorado. Fourteen former resi- dents of Fl Dorado Canon leave this city to- day by the Los Angeles steamer, eE route for the Canon. Twenty-Five tons of supplies left for the same destination, by sailing vessel, a few days since, and more will soon follow Among the party leaving, as above, are sever al connected with the Colorado Mill Company. These parties will start np the mil again immediately after their arrival, having made contract with the Techatticup Company for crushing their rock, on A per centage of it's yield. The rock is known to be rich. This and that from the Queen ci:y mine was the rock from which the large amount of bullion was taken to which we alluded some weeks since, as the first bullion from Fl Dorado Canon.
 Mir. Hagen Kimball, a well known artist of this city goes down on the steamer, and will visit the principal localities along the Cobra do for the purpose of taking sketches, which he will subsequently, produce on canvass Mir Frank s. filling, who holds the appoint ment of postmaster at Fl Dorado Canon, also goes down on the steamer. He informs us fiHai hc tAltCts tO Dt III itru uia ieNtip' ot ihO mails from this city by the first of July next.
 Some of the principal merchants of San Francisco have made arrangements to ship large quantity of goods to Calville, where proper storehouses will be erected, and at which point traders from Salt Lake and inter mediate points, also from western Montana and portions of Nevada and Arizona can be most conveniently supplied with goods of every description, at more reasonable rates than they can be obtained through any other channel This supply will be constant, and must prove great convenience to the vast extent of country intervening between the Rocky mountains and Sierra Nevada and by 1t San Francisco will lay the foundation of A business from which she must eventually reap immense commercial advantages"

Coon WoRK.-In three engagements since Feb. l, the Arizona volunteers, the often rid iculed Mexieans and Maricopa and Pima In- dians, Of whom mcny expected no efficient service, have killed no less than sepeRty-serea Apache-, besides wounding and taking pris- oners nearly as many more. What troops have returned our people better account than this} We may all boast of the sue cess of the Arizona First. Governor Good win should acquaint the War Department of their telling triumphs, Nothing could so well secure the desired authority for their retention in tue service, and the enlistment of full regiment. 1T the government de sires to make short and comparatively incx- pensive work of exterminating or subjugating the Apache, the way is now clear.

rebels have laid down their arms, and ceased opposition to the Government They are, therefore, again citizens--or subjects If you plcase--of the nation, de 61cto as well as de jare, and all their material and social interests are indellibly wrapped up with those of the republic. All measures, then, calculated to secure the peace, order and general prosperity of the nation are in their very nature calcula- ted to benefit the rebels by improving their social and financial condition Sicli being the case, they will naturally he pleased with and approve of all measures calculated to produce such a result Must we, then, op- pose the re-establshment of peace, order and prosperity in order to displace the late rebels ? This idea Of shaping all Legislation and politi- cal action with view solely not to please, or rather to displease, one third of the people of the country, is an abominabIe as well as an idiotic one. It is beneath the standard Of even tenth-rate intelligence, and.a disgrace that it is advanced in this enlightened age S1a Eaacisco CdH.

DR TAPPAN, wounded and probably killed by the Apaches, as elsewhere noted, was a popular and faithful surgeon of the regular army, and near relative of Secretary Stan ton, of the War Department. It is probable that his death, or his injury, if he has sur. yived, will lead Mir. Stanton to see the pro priety of giving us more troops, and especial ly of retaining the volunteers iii the service in which they are doing so nobly.

GooDs TO ARtzoNA-A large amount of goods is being shipped from this city to Ar- zona, riq the Cuff of California and the Col orado river, Government and an eastern min ing company being the principal shippers. IT our merchants expect to get slice Of the Arizona and Salt Lake trade, they must in- duce the owners of vessels to carry freight at lower figure than is charged those who are now sending forward invoices. Only think of charging from S75 to $50 per tnn for freight to Forts Yuma and Mohaye. The flea of charging ten times as much for freight rom tuis city to the Colorado, as IS charged from New York to this port, is absurd, and will retard the development of the country, and force them to ship direct from New York.-Sga Faacisc3 C,iU
