MAIL SERyrcE-The mail riders between Prescott and Hardyville Charles Spencer and Johnny o'Donnell, merit the thanks and kind est wishes of the people of Northern Arizona for the manner in which they have carried the mails during the past winter. Though beset by danger from hostile Indians who have lain in wait to murder them, they have, with few exceptions, run the gauntlet regularly and kept us posted on outside affairs, at the risk of losing their lives. While owing to the water and mud, the people of Southern California were almost entirely cut of from the outside world, regular mail communica- ton was kept up between the Colorado river and the interior of Arizona. True. we did not receive much matter during the flood, q but the making their regular trips, speaks volumes in praise of the energy and courage Of these riders MF Ballard, tbe agent, who is always on the move, seeing that every thing goes as near right as possible, and bringing out fresh animals to take the places of those stolen and killed by the Indians, which, with in the past year, have amounted to nearly one hundred head, deserves the thanks o
 our people for his untiring efforts to fulfil hi. contract with the Government to carry oul mails. or course, riders and contractors re- ceive lair compensation for what they do others before them have also received pay fol
 doing the same thing, but from lack of will o
 some other cause, they failed to ''come up tC the scratch.' In bestowing praise upon con tractors and riders, we must not forget thu fact that the military, also, deserve Gu thanks for the part performed by them--(es
 corting), in the carrying of the mails Le
 us hope that before another season passe away, Indian troubles in the country between ! Prescott, California and Utah will have ended | and that lines of coaches will be runnin, | from the Colorado to the Rio Grande.

WicKEsBuHG.-Messrs Hodges, Brooks, Taylor and Littig came up from Wickeuburg this week, and went back again Wednesday morning Messrs. Taylor, Brooks and Littig will return home in a few days. Tom Hodges came up here to buy powder and fuse for Wickenburg Smith, who arc working a claim on the Vulture lode, west of the Vul- tnre Mining Company's claim. The Wick enburg fiye-stamp mill had been running for several days previous to the time the party left A ''clean up' was being made Sunday morning, and at the time the party left Wick enburg, one hundred ounces of gold had been secured The rock taken out of the claim is said to be lousy with gold, and the chances are that Henry and William will soon be milionaires.
 The Yulture Mining Company's twenty stamp mill is constantly employed crushing ore, which, we are told, pays first rate.
 P. O'Neill and Ring Watson, formerly of this part of the county, had started the "Ari- zona Hotel" and were furnishing the Wick enburgers with square meals.
 Times were flush; poker, monte and other innocent (2) little games were being muclly indulged in by ye gay gamboliers. The health and morals of the place are, however, good, and for a town in which so much hard cash circulates, very little drunkenness, Astic or ''pistolic" pastime was indulged in. To all of which We say, hHrrah for Wickenburg hurrah for her great "Yulture" lode, and hur- rah for her industrious, indomitable citizens. They have earned success, and it pleases us 10 know tbst they are now enjoyiDg it.

VAMosED.--A short time ago we saw a let ter from a gentleman then at Camp McPher- son, which stated that Chimahueya Indian girl, some twelve or thirteen years of age. that had been raised and tcnderly cared for by Manuel RAyena, of La Paz, Yuma county, since she was a small baby, had recently de- campcd, taking with her lot of jewelry and other yaluabIes, which, if the story proves correct, goes to show that no matter how much kindness white man layishes upon an Indian male or female-no gratitude need be expected from them, and no trust can be reposed in them.

fPHGsix, the new settlement on Salt river, in this county, is, eyery week, receiving addi- tions to its population. A letter received by Us short time since from Jos Davis says that several families from Texas had arrived at the settlement, taken up ranches, and gone to work. There is no end to the amount of good tilIable land on and near Salt river, and as the canal built by the 'Suilling Irrigatinc and Canal Company" carries enough water to inigate thousands of acres, people need not fear q scarcity 0! water for irrigating pur poses. Mr. Davis is also taking out ditch. The original settlers, most of "houi own shares in tho canal, are very anxious that large settlements should soon spring up along the fertile bottoms of Salt Fiyef and to this end they offer liberal Inducements to families and single men, who wish to engage in farm ing. Two crops can easily be raised in one year. Mr. Davis says the bottom lands upon the river are as large, and the soil richer than those of the Ohio or Mississippi.

FnoN NHARnyvftLE.-C harlcs Spencer, mail rider between Prescott and llardyvIl", has informed us that recently, the Indians" M- mpas stole, ont of the Government corral at Fort Mohave, on the Colorado river, iNe ahl- malS-four mules and one horse. The am- mals stolen were about Co be sent out on the road for the use of the mail escort. There was a large number of animals in the corral at the time the Indian, made their raid upon it. but, as none of them had ropes upon them except the animals stolen, it IS presumed the Indians being in hurry, probably, could not catch any more of the stock Near Union Pas, twelve miles this side of llardyvlile, as Mr. Wm H. Hardy and the mail rider were trsyeling along, from this place to iiar'iy vile they saw where the Indians had crossed the road few minutes before with the stock.
 Johnny O'Donel, who arrived here with the California mad Tuesday evening last, in formed us that Colonel Price, after having re- ceised supply of barley from Fort Yuma, sent a force of Cavalry Co scout through tae wallapai country, and, if possible, strike a final blow for peace and the subjusalion oi that tribe. It s 10 be hoped that the sol diers will find the villains and teach them the error of their ways. From what we can learn in regard to the number of fighting ! Wallapai, still in existence it looksas though ! they might soon bo conquered, and we dc most honestly believe that Col Price and ! his command will. if left in tbe country tho coming spring and summer, accomplish thai desirable object.

SorrHrRy MAIL-Mr Brown mail rider between Prescott and Maricopa Wells, ar rived here early in the week, from Phoenix, the new settlement on Salt river. On ac- count of the high water in Salt river, Mr. E. could not proceed to his destination, and left the mail at Phoenix and returned to Prescott. The day befoie he left the river, man, whose name he was unable to tell us, was drowned while attempting 10 cross to the south side. Every effort possible, was made by the citi- zens and the rider Co get the mail across, but it WAS all to no purpose, as old Salt had is | back up and was terrible in its wrath. lt k q long time since ve have heard from our | Tucson friends, they must feel very lonely now that they are cut off by the turbid wa ! ters of the GIla and Salt rivers from the only mail route upon which service Is attempted to be made at all, that from San Bernardin' rja IIardyyiile to Prescott. Of course it | known that in consequence of there not be ing enough business upon the Gila route be tween Tucson and California, the representa- tiyes of the contractor upon that route, avai! ing themselves of the opportunity offered fo discontinuing it, by the death of Mr. Tomlin son, took off the stock and buggies and lief our fellow citizens below the Gila vithou direct mail service with California. Thi state of affairs would be bc&rabe could the
 but communicate with Prescott, but tha boon is also denied them by Proyidenc and the elements. We would like to hea from them occasionally, and pray that all ol stacles in the way of making the passag from Central to Southern Arizona may 500
 be in a position to be overcome.

A PRA1sEwoRTHY ENTERPRIsE.-Rev. DR..
W. F. BRoADDUs is devoting himself to the
collection of funds to educate the children
Of deceased and disabled Confederate SOL
diers. He has for this purpose resigned
the pastorate of the Charlottesville Baptist
church, and is to be succeeded by the Rev.
&c. LONG, of Scottsville. DR.. BRoADDUs
is one of the most distinguished ministers
of his Church, and has been for some fifty
years Jealous laborer in his vocation. He
has been giving great deal Of attention to
the welfare Of those hapless innocents be-
reaved by the fortunes or misfortunes of
revolution. We learn from the Charlottes-
vile Chronicle that through his instrument
tality there have been the present year
more than five hundred of these children
receiving instruction. We copy below Mr..
BEoADprs'S earnest appeal for help i'll this
noble undertaking:
" .McSSrS. EditorS,-Allow me brief
space in your columns that | may call at
/ tcntion to a work in which many of your
readers are interested.
In 1864 the Baptist General Association
appointed Il committee to look after the edu-
cation of the children in Virginia whose
fathers had lost their lives in the service Of
the late Confederate States Much has
been accomplished in this work in the midst
of our general poverty. Since the war
closed, between five and six hundred have
been kept at school in different parts Of
. the State, all our teachers generously con-
senting to teach them at one dollar per
month.
"At our late meeting in Alexandria the
committee was instructed to increase their
efforts in this department. Accordingly
/ have agreed to give my whole time for the
present to this work. As heretofore, we
/ Shall make no discrimination among teach
! ers or children on account of their religious
/ denomination and ii is hoped that the be-
nevoleut of all classes will aid us. We are,
lust now, much in arrears to teachers for
services already rendered. Let every one
send me a contribution by mail or other
wise next week if possible.

LETTER FROM CHIEF JUSTICE CHASE.
A letter from Chief Justice Chase is pub
lished this morning. Abiding to suffrage
and other domestic affairs, after expressing
himself in favor of according suffrage to
all citizens, he says:
"On that question I adhere to my old
State rights doctrines. In the event OF
nomination and success, trust should so
act that neither the great party which
makes the nomination, nor the great body
of patriotic citizens whose cooperation
would insure success, would have cause to
regret their action. 1t is an intense de-
sire with me to see the Democratic party
meeting the question of the day in the
spirit of the day, and assuring to itself
long duration of ascendancy. 1t can do SO
if it will"

riety Of diseases from which there is so
much suffering.
Then there are four baths, to be used as
pools or spouts, of loo degrees.
Besides all these, there is the ladies'
pleasure bath Sc degrees, and the gentle
mems IS. Both are highly tonic from their
chemical natures.
Here, then, is wide range of tempera-
ture and mineral features in these remark
able baths, so that any condition. of disease
ana physical debility can be readily accom-
modated. All the waters are charged with
mineral properties which are highly efica-
c'ous in tonic action upon the organs of the
body, external and internal.
The physician of the Springs, DR.. J. F..
WILLIAMS, of this city, is most intelligent
and accomplished practitioner, who has
from his own severe sufferings, which found
relief there, become really a graduate in
the use Of the baths. 1t is fortunate
thing for the Hot Springs that his misfor-
tunes have led him to become SO perfectly
familiar with their power and adaptability
to disease. Of all the healing waters in
the mountains these most require medical
direction for their proper use.
We repeat, it is most fortunate thing
that these thermal waters constitute one of
the extensive family of health-giving wa
tiers of Virginia. They rise in what is
known as the Warm Spring valley, of Bath
county, after the exquisite bath bearing
that name situated in that valley five miles
from the Hot. The geological developments

returning his thanks for the honor, he
counselled moderation, federation, and har-
mony. The most important questions had
been forced upon the consideration of this
Convention. Some of these were forced
upon it by the resolutions of the recent
Chicago Convention. He discussed briefly
the platform of the Republicans, and ac-
cused that party of violating its own decla-
rations against reputation and unequal
taxation, and then asserted sympathy for
soldiers and soldiers widows and orphans.

waste of the public moneys, with tainting
the national credit, with impeding immi-

denied the assertion made in the Chicago
Convention that "the principles Of the
