GLADIATORIAL.

The New York Herald of March 10th pub- fishes the details of a pugiIstic ngagement
 for the petticoat championship of America
 The fight came off about six miles from Bos- ton, between Sally Chapman and Mary Anne Jones, two abandoned women of that city The affair is one of the most degraded and pitiruI of which we ever read, and Is universally condemned, and iu.tly so The HraH speaks Of il in the following terms:
 HIn B ston letter elsewhere We give the latest news from that Athens of America that seIf,boastei centre of all the refinement, cuI- ture and morality of the country; he capital of Puritanical severity in all the Froprieties of life Never was there witue5sel more sgracefu degrading and brutal spectacle than the aHftir thus chronicled as occurring ia the capital of New EnLland. Much has been heard of the degradation of the vile of this city the prize fighters and gougers and Jog fighters and rufiians of every stamp but a5so- lute vice has not yet gotten here so far down as to match two wretchel women to snch an encounter as that 10 which our rulTiaas pit their dogs.

PIKE
Chinese and Morality.

The Los Angeles Ners publishes the fols
 lowing extract from tho CaH, in regard to
 Chinese in San Francisco:
 The cunning of the Chinese is proverbiaI
 and from the following particulars it will be
 seen that they are~fiving illustrations of the
 axiom 'where there is a will there is way"
 The importation of Chn oeo women has caused neaiiy all the crimes known in the calendar
 from simple assapb to rej-handed murder,
 and the end is not yet It is impossible to
 get the truth from the parties, because each
 one is bound to tell his story to suit himself
 Soon after tn . arrival of the Japan. some six weeks or two months ago, quite number of females that had been imported by one of the Jackson street companies, were abducteI by other Chinese, and writs of ha5eas corpus were obtained to regain possession; some of the women were hidden away so securely that the officers have not yet been able Ato discover their whereabouts The greater portion of them were taken before Justice Pennie vtheir abddctors. where they were married to per, sons furnished by the abducting party They imagined that by this means they would be able to hold them against the importers after time they were taken before Judge
 Sawyer on writs of Aabeas corpus Here the developments showed that the women had been married to parties in China before they sailed for California, and that they offer arriving. had been married to other parties. The Court endeavored to impress upon the poor women that they were in land of liberty; that they were flee to go and come that no one had the slightest right 10 interfere with them. and finally told them they could go with wbom- soever they desired. The result was that the women, in every instance went away under the protection of their first husbands. CT the per. sons who had married them in China and im> ported them, leaving the persons who married them here w;feIess. It was thought that this would put an end to the squabbIe for posses sion, but those who imagined so did not under. ! stand Chinese characfer.-They waited until the matter had apparently been forgotten, when they began to move again warrant for the arrest of one of the women on charge of bigamy was procured, and the woman taken into custody by an officer He had no sooner lodged her in prison than some of the friends ! of thosewho had caused her arrest appeared at the prison, and filing bail bond for her appearance, she was released and went away with them. They had used this meaus

to get the woman into their clutches, and had sed the officers Ot the law to effect their pur- poses. Yesterday the real husband of the wo- man was runnlug about in st,te of great excitement, endeayorngt to find hs wife, and warrants for her recaprure and the arrest of her abductors have been issued, but they have not been served, up to the hour of going 10 press. The Chinese would make good poll ticians Their shrewduess would emineLtly fit them for Convention trickeries, and we are are not surprised at out Republicans desiring 'o clothe them with the elective franchise.
 To those who are willing to credit the fora going artiGce, to the fertility of Chinese brain, that individual will doubtless appear a shining light; but We are somewhat scepical in this matter We not long since, read an article in a San Francisco paper, condemning the part taken by legal gentleman of that city in bss halfofsome Chinamen, who were anxious to obtain possession of some China women, just arrived from the East We therefore think that if the origin of the foregoing 'shrewdness" were left bare to the public, but very little tribute could in this matter, be awarded the shreN dness of the Oriental

 FoRT MoJAvE, March B. 1869
 DEAR GvABDIAx: l have been delayed here much longer than l anticipated, owing to the fact that some of our party, whose business compeIIed them to tarry few days at La Paz, were detained on the road, at Camp Colorado uea, the Indian Reserve, on account cf a strong resemblance, detected by the Captain of that Post, between one of our parlv and a military man-probabIy Gen. Mcdowell or Gen. Carleton who at some prior time, had been more intimately connected with the ser vice in Arizona and, having gone fishing and hunting on the Lower Agua Frio" Ca favorite pas;ime among the military in this countrv) had forgotten to return Afer three days scruteny, however, of the features of our un- fortunate comrade, and the earnest protesfa tons of his comrades tha. he was not a runaway soldier-but the direct opposite. an honest miner-the board of officers which had assen ble1 decided to let him slide" but to capture his mule-upon the left shoulder of which they clearly djscerned those potent let ters U. S." Here was more trouble, but. ab mel this world is full of trouble Summonipg courage and all hands before Justice in the ne;4hborhood, and procuring the services of,a scientific barber, the hair of the animal was shaven from the brand. Instead of the magic mark of Uncle Sam, very correct outline of the map of Great Britain appeared, covering large space on the left shoulder. This served as damper. They srrnck their colors and retired from the contest, The mule was duly surrendered, and the party gracioueIy per- mitted to proceed on their journey to White Pine without further annoyance
 Some faint idea may be formed of the vast ness of the deposits of precious metals in Arizona when mention only those ranges of mountains which have been prospected to an excee iingly limitel extent, and in which lodges have been found assaying all the wav from $50 to 3,00Oper ton-and yet, aside from the FuIture mine in WIckenburp district none have been worked beyond the sinking of Q shalt of sufficient depth to prove the exist enee of metal, or, more particularly for the purpose of holding legal possession There is no hind ot doubt but that the day is coming when the yield of precious metals from this Territory will compare fayorably with the countries 10 the north of us. The thieving nurderlng Apache alone stands in the way.

A REMARKABLE SMALL Pox REMEDY'-A
correspondent of the Stockton (CaL] Herald
writes as follows;
I herewith append recipe, which has been
nsed to my know ledge in hundreds of cases.
II will prevent or cure the small pox though
rbe pittings are filing. When Jenner dis,
covered cow pox in England, the world OF
science hurled an avalanche OF fame upon his
head, but when the most semitic schoo! OF
medicine in the word-that OF Parls--publish-
ed this recipe as , anacea tor small pox, 1t
passed UNDECIDED 1t is unfailing as fate. and
conouers in every instance. 1t IS harm less
when taken by well person. 1t will also cure
scarlet fever Here is the recipe as | have
used it, and cured my children OF scarlet fever
here it it is as | have used it to cure the small
box; when learned physicians said the patient
must die, it cured: SuiDhate OF zlnc, one
grain; foxglove, (digitalis,) one grain; halt
teaspoonfuI Of sugar; mix with two tablespoon,
full OF water. When thoroughly mixed, add
four ounces of water Take spoonful every
hour. Either disease will disappear in twelve
hours. For a child, smaller doses, accord
ing to age. 1t counties would compel their
physicians TO use this. there would be no need
of pesthouses. II you value advice and expe-
,ieLce, use this for that terrible disease.
