JOHN T. RUSSELL has sold tho Santa Fe (New Mexico) Gazette, to A. P. Sullivan, who has changed the name and politics of the paper. The yaledictory of Mir. Russell is the best thing we have ever seen from his pen. In it he tells us that he arrived in New Mex leo when young; that he spent ten years of his lifc there, and that he leaves it ''poor in purse but proud in spirit" We bid our brother God-speed and hope he will speedily regain the health he has lost in working for the welfare of Territory which, it seems, has but lily repaid him. But, such is edito- rial life.

HE brazenness of the advocates of the 32d Parallel Railroad route in asserting that 1t IS the best route for a railroad, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and consequently the best route for immigrants from Texas to Cal iiornia can be understood when it is known that during the past summer, thousands of cattle perished for want of water and grass while being driven over that route, and hun dreds of men came near dying between wa tering places. Besides, there is not, between the Rio Grande and Fort Yuma, California, a distance of over GOO miles, timber enough to tie ten miles of the road.

WE are indebted to some Federal official, at Washington City, for copies of the "Month- ly Report of the Department of Agriculture, for August and September, 1862" in which we can find something about weather and crops in every Territory in the Union, except Arizona. Guess, we'll have to mail the De- partment copy of our paper, for it seems that our carroty Delegate has too many irons in the fire to think of getting line or two inserted in the repor: regarding the Territory he says he represents.

Seward and Mexico.

By this time, we presume, the great An nexationist, Mr. Vim. II. Seward, is safe m the City of Mexico,-pouring hrs peculiar ideas into the ears of Juarez and his ministers, and, perhaps, bargaining for the acquisition of the Northern States of Mexico. We do not know whether or not he k commissioned by the Grant Administration to do anything of the sort, but we sincerely hope that he is. Even were he to cook up a bargain, oi his own accord, that would be in the least degree favorable to us, we believe the seal would speedily be set to it by the people ot this Ike public. Juarez and his adherents are indebt- ed to Seward for the good things enjoyed by them at present, and, no doubt, feel grateful to him, and Seward, in order to get square on his Alaska purohase--whieh, we all know, was not very profitable one-may use his best endeavors and his influence with these Mexican chiefs to buy for the country ter ritory which it needs, and must have. We are not particularly anxious for our Govern ment to become possessed of all of Sonora, oiualoa anu Nuluuanuh, nut we arc SAOeou ing anxious for the speedy annexation of all of Lower California, and portion of Sonora, because, of right, they ought to be ours If the Administration of President Grant wishes to do something for the good of the country, and perform an act that would rebound to its credit, 1t will back Mir. Seward in the efforts which he cannot but make to acquire a slice of Mexican Territory. Let us, by all means, acquire Lower California and the strip of land belonging to Sonora around the mouth of the Colorado river. We, of Arizona, want a har- bor on the Gulf of California, and were the mouth of the Colorado and the land adjoining it ours, a seaport town would soon be built up in that vicinity

CoSsrANrrA MIsE.-Judge Harley H. Cart ter, of La Paz, Yuma county. called upon us the other day, and exhibited specimen of ore from gold-bearing lode named the Con- stantia, which made our eyes "water, 5 and caused us to feel that Yavapai will have to look to her laurels, else Yuma will beat her on rich ore. The mine is situated close to the Prescott and La Paz wagon-road, l3 miles this side of La Paz, convenient to wood and water. It belongs to an incorporated company, (of which the Judge is member). who are negotiating for ten-stamp mill to crush the ore with. Thousands of tons of ore are in sight, and there can be no reasonable doubt of it's containing sufficient gold to pay well for working it. We hone the company will hurry up and procure mill, for we really think they have ''good thing"

MOTHER Alta is troubled about Naval and Military red-tape, which, she says, "klls as many men in time of peace as it does in time of war;" which we pronounce all "bosh." Its remarks about Camp Goodwin, in the South ern part of this Territory, are however, well timed and to the point Goodwin is an un- healthy post, and 50 are nearly ali the post. in the country south of the Gila, but they cannot be abandoned for that reason, until the white citizens of that section move up here.

THE President of the United States and tho Governor of this Territory have issued pfociamations recommending the people to offer praise to God for his blessings during the past year. Thursday, November Is, is the day set apart for this business, and, d. though we of Arizona have not as much to be thankful for as other people, we should be duly grateful, even for small favors. Last year, at this time, we were plagued with a scourge that still affiicts and paralyzes us, the Indian. We have prayed to Government for relief, but it has not needed our prayer therefore, it may be we'll enough, while thank ing the Lord for his favors and mercies, since last Thanksgiving Day, to pray to him for that relief which our Government has so far failed to give us. Our red brother has out lived his usefulness, and should be smote down or converted to the path of peace Some disposition must be made of the sinful euss, right speedily, or his sins will be too many and great for forgiveness.

Arizona's Advantages.

While we Of Arizona cannot boast of big cities, huge manufactories, neat temples of religion, etc, etc, we can, with truth, toot our horns in praise of our mild, salubrious climate, rich mines, productive ranches, grand forests, "everlasting" mountains, and beauti ful scenery. True. the Territory embraces considerable "scrubby" country, fit only for coyotes, snakes and lizards, and is afflicted by c villsinous race of savages, whose ancestors must have broke loose from Hades. But they are the thorns in this oed of roses, and villainous ss they are, we ought to feel proud of them in one respect: They are the most expert thieves in America, and in a contest with the thieves of any other State or Terri tory would, most assuredly, carry off the ''horns.n As to climate, we claim to have the best, hcalthiest article on the Pacific Slope, and lots of it. Down on the Great Colorado, where the heat during summer is excessive, sickness is almost unknown, among white colonists or native Reds, and, except in the low river and creek bottoms, nobody ever gets sick, or has ever died of sickness contracted in the Territory. We have belt of timber fully DO miles in length, by from 90 to so miles in width, besides several smaller belts. We have two mountain peaks --the San Francisco and Sierra Blanca-so big that they will do to brag on, the height of either of them being all of l4,OO0 feet above sea level. Then we have lodes of gold,
 
 silver and copper, of fabulous richness, val ieys capable of producing thing and every thing in the agricultural lne In fact, the resources of this Territory are as rich and varied e the colors of our sky, and it is a pity that they cannot be developed as fast as those of less favored Territories. But it is not our fault, nor the fault of our people Government alone is to blame, and we car sestly implore it to abandon its temporzing, weak Indian policy, send out a couple of regi- ments of cavalry, "let slip the dogs of war;" and put an end to the murderous, thieving warfare that has 50 iong crippled our people and kept our Territory in the background. The present administration can put several feathers in its cap if it will but "let us have peaccr in Arizona.

SOME 50 or 60 miners are at work in the dry diggings back of La Paz, making from $500 to SSo.oo per day, by dry washing pro cess. Judges Cartier and Reayis tell as of seeing recently, at La Paz, fifteen hundred dollars worth of gold that was taken out of the diggings in one week. Pieces weighing thirty and forty dollars have frequently been found in these diggngs, and, occasionally chunks as big as an old style ink bottle.

Condition of the Territory.
PIMA COUNTY.

The present condition of Pima county is discouraging in the extreme, and its chief town, Tucson, is in a bad way. Trade is dull, the Apaches are worye than ever before, and the farmers are unable to sell their grain at n living price, because. grain can be laid down at the military posts in that county, from Sonora, for less than it has cost the farmers of Pima county to raise and harvest it. This is bad and we sy;apathize with the poor American farmers who are thus brought into competition with the peon labor of Sonora. We thought, when the merchants and people of Pima were clamoring for more intimate re- lations with Sonora, that they would one day wish themselves far away from her. The only act that would bring speedy relief to the toil- CTS of the country would be for government to raise the duty on some articles imported from Sonora, but it would look rather strange to see the people of Pima county, who so recently prayed for free intercourse with So- nora, begging Congress to erect Chinese wall to keep the Mexicans and their products out
 YUMA COUNTY
 We hear no complaints from tho people of this county. On the contrary, recent letters received by us speak hopefully of the future. The valleys of the Colorado are fast filling up with white people, as are those of. the Gila. The commerce of the river helps things along, and all, it seems, are satisfied. Arizona City, Ehrenberg and La Pay, its prin- cipal towns are well sustained by local and interior trade, and the mines back of La Paz are yielding we'll
 MoHAvE COUNTY.
 This county appears to be resting on her oars, waiting for the railroad or something else. She has rich mines, good landings on the Colorado, good farming and grazing lands, considerable timber, and, it seems to us, ought to progress faster. Some of her mines are now being worked.
 YAvAPAI COUNTY.
 Our own county has been quite sick for long time, but now shows symptoms of re- covery. Although this years crop was short, farmers have, as general thing, done we'll, and are cheerful. Our mining interest is looking up, and our white population is be- ing steadily increased.
 Isolation and Indians have been, are still, the greatest drawbacks to the prosperity of the Territory. We need more troops, better mail facilities and railroad, to enable us to advance, with quicker pace, to our destiny, and these We hope to have, ere long. We al- So want our lands-both mineral and agricul- tural-suryeyed, so that we can acquire title to them, and know that they are ours. To this end, a Surveyor General should at once be appointed for the Territory. The War Department can furnish us tho troops; the Post Office Department, the extra mail ser vice, and Congress, the Surveyor General, Titles to our property and railroad. Will they furnish them2 We think and hope they will, upon being informed of our neces- sites, trials and sufferings, which they will be soon.
