CENTRAL PACIFIC RALEoAD.-The Oroville (Caliiornia) Record, of February 22i, says; "Of what use will the Central Pacific Rail road be when it shall be completed. Is there not miles of it already finished beyond Cisco, and for which the Government has paid forty thousand dollars per mile, that is not, and cannot now be used because it is blocked up with snow What can energy do if it has no better sense to direct it than to build rail- roads where snow accumuates to the depth of j0 and 100 feet If the railroad across the continent was completed to-day the cars could not enter California on the Central Pa cifc route; neither has there been any day that they could have done % since the com mencement of the first severe storm"

AsBrsrUs-ISFoRNAr WANTED. The San Francisco Mining and .Srieatifc Press of a recent date. says that any person who may know of a locality on this coast where large quantities of asbestus can be readily obtained, and delivered at reasonably low price, at some point of steam navigation, may possibly profit by communicating the fact to that office. Quantity rather than quality is the object desired. If used at all for the purpose proposed, many tons may be required month ly. Asbestus is a mineral described by Web ster, as ''a variety of horneblende and pyrox. enc (augitel occurring in long delicate tibers CT lb.0us masses or seams, usually of awhite or gray color, but sometimes greenish or red dish" Do any of our miners know Of the existence of this mineral in Arizona ?

 EDroR ARIZONA MINER: In April, 1861, the writer of this was doing hourishing business in the State of New York; the civil war had broken ont and Government called for men Co preserve the Constitution and the Union. Patriotism was at fever heat sold my business and store, raised. and partly equipped, a company of brave volunteers, ,-- men and officers numbered l0l. We were in active service for three years, and returned home with but twenty men out of the origi- nal number; the balance were killed in bat tie. or died of their wounds. The business l followed before entering the army was, on my return home, in the hands of stay-at home patriots, and my chances for competing with them were slim The returned braves were in % worse condition; times were dull in the State. and they could not get employment. Most of us started for Arizona, to try and make a respectable living We came over | land cig New Mexico. After many hardships, we arrived here, and were oyerioyed al find | 1 face of the glohe,--in mineral wealth, with a climate unsurpassed by that of any other state on the continent.
 Now. sir, why is there drawback to it' prosperi,y7 Why are quartz mills lying idlel Why are not the rivers and creek throngcd with placer miners Because Gov crnment does not protect its citizens from the murderoue, thieving sayages who infes tine country. Is there no remedy for this Civil war is at an end. Cur Government i a; peace with all the nations of the earth. an' yet a few hundred savages rob and murde white citizens with impunity

POLITICAL MEETISG.-Mr Grant informs us that, recently, at La Paz, Democratic meeting was held, which recommended Will liam smith, of Wiekenburg, to the Conyen- ton that is to meet at Wickenburg on the llth of April next, and to the Democracy of the Territory, as its choice for candidate for Delegate to Congress. We know William we'll and should he get the nomination, we will do our best 10 elect him He is a thor ough-bred white man, and has hosts of friends in this Territory and California. We do not, however think he would run for or accept an
 office. He is doing as well as he wishes,
 working Nulture rock.

Nor THE MIyER.-The Alta California is disgusted with the new style HOW so much in vogue with some writers for the press, that of aiiixing the syllable ''ess' 10 the names oi trades, professions, etc, when applying such names to the women who follow them. It accuses an Arizona paper of speaking of the w'iie of ( queFtermaster as "Mrs. Quarter master Blank, when full conformity to modern usage should have dictated Mrs. Quauermistress Blank" That's so, in a minute, Granny. We are certain we never said it. Couldn't if we tried. Ain't huukey enough for that It must have been our illus triOuo cotemporary South of the Gila.

TYsON's WELLS STATIoS.-Mr Peoples, of Wickepburg, has purchased Tyson's Wells Station, twenty miles this side of La Paz. Our towrnman, George Roberts and his ex- cellent wife, will go down and take charge of it. and we know that they will keep it in good style.

SrRPRIsrs No OyE.-As will be seen, by advertisement in to-day's paper, Governor R. C. Mccormick, of Tucson, has announced himself as an "independent" candidate for Delegate to Congress from tbis unfortunate Territory. Well, this surprises nobody, He came here from the East, at Government expense, with the view oF returning home with A cer- tificate of election to Congress in his pocket, drawing his pay and retiring for life 10 the classic shades of Patchogue, New York. He k coming up here soon to e!ectioneer. How weii ne viii succeed in pulling wool 0'eF the eye, of our people remains To be seen. They have an idea, just now, that they will east their votes for some citizen of the Territory who did not come here numbered and labeled for Congress We have tried three gentlemen that came here in the same boat with the Governor, for the same purpose and not one oi them has ever returned to reside here, and the chances are that should his Excelency re- ceiye majority of the votes iO De cast for Delegate to Congress, he would
 Fold up his tent llke m Arab,

 We do not object 10 his "stealing away, ' but we do seriously object to helping him out of the Territory in the manner proposed by himself and friends, of Pima county.

called his audience of blackguards, in

We'll, here is the speech that he made
on Tuesday, July II, 1868:
My friends, | have come down here

all this trouble was concerning the

The riot was got up on account of the

promised his friends that the draft

The audience was so peacc-loving that
it was necessary to assure them that New

As the season for handling the new clip
ofwool approaches, there Ia very natu.
raj anxiety felt by all parties who are
interested In the article, to avoid ere
ating undue expectations in regard to
the future market prices, by which
dealers In the West might be misled,-
This feeling has originated in part, and
has been greatly strengthened by the
tact that the medium grades Of wool,
which have been In great request by
manufacturers, are now almost out OF
market, and are selling al prices only
warranted by their scarcity. There Is
every probability that as soon as the
new wool arrives In any considerable
quantities, that prices ior these
grades will materially ieclIne.-
This should be borne In mind,
and calculations should not be based
upon the present market quotations,
The finer descriptions Of wool, both
fleece and pulled, with the exception oi
choice XIX parcels, continue 10 be com.
paratively neglected, and II has been
necessary 10 make concessions TO effect
sales. The stock, however, ofall grades
Of fleece Is light, and, therefore, al.
though the demand 10 very moderate,
there is not likely TO be much change In
prices until the new wool Is well on the
market, The political excitement
which always attends n Presidential
election, will have tendency to pre-.
vent the improvement In general bust.
ness, which we think would otherwise
take place during the present year.
This 10 an additional reason why
Western dealers should be par
ticularly careful this season 10 buy
