Transfer of Pah-Ute County.

The Nevada papers are just now, discussing the points at issue in the case of the transfer by Congress, of this portion of Arizona to their State. The Reese River RcreHe con tends that the question is already settled, and that our county of Pah-Ute is now a part of Lincoln county, Nevada. It bases its opinion upon the following resolution, which, accord ing to it, passed the Legislature of its State at its last session-last winter. The psolu- ton is as follows:
 "Res9lred. by the Legislature of the State of Nevada. that the Territory bounded aud described in the second section of the atOrc- said Act of Congress of the United States, is hereby accepted, made part of and declared to be within the jurisdiction of the State of Nevada, subject to and under all the proyis- ions and conditions contained within said sec ond section of said Act.n
 It will be remembered that Congress, in 1866, ceded this portion of our Territory to the State of Nevada, provided, the Legisla- ture of that State would accept it, which, as will be seen from the above resolution, 1t has already done. But, in our opinion. this does not settle the status of Pah-Ute, and her cit izens are not, as yet, transferred. The Con stitution of the State of Nevada fixes her boundary lines, and it is but right and proper that this question of annexation and conse- quent change of lines should De submitted to the feeple for approval and sceePtation; but, ,as it is a foregone conclusion that they would vote in favor of "gobblng up'' Pah-Ute, its submission to them, except for mere forms sake, is really unnecessary However, as the citizens of Pah-Ute arc not iB favor of being handed over to Nevada, and as the authori- ties of that State, and of Lincoln county are bent upon making Pah-Ute-ites pay taxes, no doubt the matter will be brought before the courts before long. In fact, we believe, a case has already been made up for trial. Gov. Blasdel is of the opinion that the Legislature cannot accept the territory spoken of without submitting the proposition to the people; but, of course, his views are not sustained by the press and people of his State. We believe that, if the people of Pah-Ute were allowed a voice in the matter, their voice would be for remaining where they are-in Arizona. But as Congress has full control of the Territo res, and as the influence of State in that body is great, we fear this slice of our Terri tory and its inhabitants will, eventually, have to become a part of Silverland

Arrival of the California Mail.

Charley Spencer and escort arrived here yesterday evening, with an old California mail, which contained no later news than that published by us last week. No San Francisco papers were received by this mail The la- test Los Angeles and San Bernardino papers are dated January T. and their columns are al most entirely devoted to accounts of the great floods that have recently swept over the State, and long and short articles upon our 35th parallel railroad route. Most of the surveying parties had arrived at San Bernard ino, and they all agree in stating their high appreciation of their fayorite route Hurrah for our railroad route, the railroad company, and our rich Territory Prescott sits at the foot of the richest range of mountains in the world, and, in a short time, the iron horse will be coursing over our mesas and valleys up to our very dOors-on its way from the Atlantic to the Pacific
 Gen. Gregg had arrived at Los Angeles.
 The rider says the roads are in an awful condition, and Government mules are so poor that it is with difficulty the escort can nayi- gate.

PATENTS TO MiNiNG CLAiYs--It is some what singular that the citizens of Arizona, should be so long left without a show to ace quire patents to their mines. The Territory is now under charge of the Surveyor General of California, Mir Upson, and we believe that gentleman stands ready to commence busi- ness in this Territory as soon as 9 Register and Receiver are appointed. All over the Pacific coast, except here, we believe, offices are opened in all the mining districts, and miners are availpc themselves of the liberal provisions of the Congressional Mining Law, and acquiring titles to their lodGS There arc a grca, many lodges in this Territory upon which the necessary amount of labor has been performed, and the requisite sum of money expended and we know that our miners are ready and anxious to acquire Government title to their property. We hope our Dele gate in Congress will attend to this matter, and see that officers are appointed. People who go into the wilderness and risk their lives and property in it's development should
 we think, have every facility afforded them for securing the property which their energy perseverance and hard labor have acquired.

REMARKABLE LBERALITY.-The city of Vera Cruz, Mexico, with population not ex- ceeding 5000 souls, and impoverished by civil war and foreign invasion, has sent $l0,OO0, in hard coin, to the relief of the suf- ferers by the hurricane of October 7th and Sth, at Matamoras. This is equal to two dollars per head for every inhabitant of Vera Cruz, man, woman, and child, and no city of our Union can show the record of SO large a charity on the occasion of any great calamity.

 ARRIVAL or STOCK FOR THE AUSTIN AND MomAyE CIrY MAIL RoUrE-We learn from the Reese River R3re1ie of a recent date, that Frank CIuggagc, the mail contractor between Austin, Nevada, and Mohave City, Arizona, ria Belmont and Pahranagat, is engaged in stocking the route and placing wagons and coaches upon it. We are glad to know this, as we are sure it will be great benefit to both the people of Nevada and Arizona. It seems that the mines of Pahranagat district are looming into importance; already, there arc mills erected, and from the favorable mo- ticos of the ores of that district which we occasionally see in the RerejllD, we feel cer- tain that some of the ledges are really good. Mr. Cluggage's name is a sure guarantee that regular communication will, if possible, be kept up. We earnestly hope the line of sta ges will be extended and run to Prescott and Albuquerque. Were it not for Indian trou- bles in this Territory, Prescott would long since have had lines of stages connecting il with California, Nevada, Utah and New Mex ico

TELEGRAPH-The Santa Fe Gazc'te says that a project is on foot for the purpose of building a telegraph line from Denver, Colo rado, to Santa Fc, New Mexico, and we earn cstiy hope it may soon be accomplished
 From Santa Fe, the line should be extended over the adopted railroad route, through Ari- zona to Los Angeles. We believe it to be the intention of the Union Pacific Railway Co. r. D., as soon ss Congress gives them the subsidy asked for, to put a line of stages on the 3Jth parallel route, between the eastern terminus of their road and California. The rich regions of New Mexico, Arizona and Southern California have too long been neg lected by the nation and capitalists, and it is high time that the country should do some thing towards opening them up and develop ing their resources. Their sparse population have battled long and nobly with the enemies of civilization, and it is the duty of the Gov ernment to aid in the construction of lines of communication, and thereby fill up the coun- try with workers, who will soon settle the Indian question and put money into its purse.

Found Dead in the Street.

The labor is over and done:
The sun has gone down in the west;
The birds are asleep every one,
And the world has gone to its rest.
Sleepers on beds of down,
Meath cover of silk and gold,
Soft as on roses new blown
Slept the great monarch of old
Sleepers on mothers breast,
Sleepers happy and warm,
Cosy as birds in their nest,
With never a thought of harm
sleepers in garrets high.
Meath coverlet ragged and old;
And one little sleeper all under the sky,
Out in the night and coldl
Alone in the wide, wide world,
Christless, motherless he,
Begging or stealing to live, and whirled
Like waif on an angry sea.
The daisy looks up from the grass,
Fresh from the fingers of Night,
To welcome the birds as they pass,
And drink in fresh rivers of light.
Sleepers on mothers breast,
Waken to summer and mirth:
But one little sleeper has gone to his rest
Never to wake on earth.
Dead-found dead in the street,
All forsaken and 1orn
Damp from head to feet,
With the dews of the sweet May morn!
Dead-for the want of crust!
Dead-in the cold night air!
Dead-and under the dust,
Without ever prayer.
In the heart of the wealthiest city
In this most Christian land,
Without ever word,
Or the touch of a kindly handi

we'll qualified to give them prudent advice. He
says:
"Wo would advise our farming friends to ssll

up prices. He wants to get his profits uut of the
manufacturer, who must have cotton. Don't dis-
courage him lrnm buying, for if you do, down
y.c. the price Give him margin to encourage
his BIDS for if you drive the speculator out Of
