 s7o HE San Diego Union, of s recent date, con btained fierce attack upon President An drew Johnson, for the simple reason, we take jt, that he, like the Union, has not been stead fast in politics. Speaking ofthe recent defeat sustained by the ex-President, that paper says; ns-f fsH e.i nt-H sW "The people at large of both parties, will rejoice that the great hupbug, the low, vulgar hammered ex President has been laid on the political shelf" A 'd 'Ho Again: - mi '1i h
 "Andy Johnson has found his plsee-s pot house politician in country town in the State of TenDessee--thanks to the honest men of the Legislature of that State."o ssi The people at large, of both parties, will consider the source from which the foregoing malicious sentences emanated and, with one fl accord, wilsay. "The conductor of the Union has found his place-a low hSeller, in mush- loom town in California"

Another Line of Steamers,

The San Francisco Builetia, and Los Ange- les Ne,os have assurances that another line of ocean steamers will soon be placed on the southern route, in opposition to the present line, which, they say, is owned and run by a monopoly. Nothing would delight us more than to see the present high freight tariffs undergo Q reduction, therefore we hope the new line will soon start in. We of Arizona are kept constantly pulling and tugging to pay freight bills, upon goods received by us from California. But, !. is net the steamship company alone that bleeds us. Los Angeles and San Bernardino frcighters come down upon our necks with much more weight than the steamship people. and we ask them, for pity's sake, to ride lighter, lest they cause us to buck and throw them.
 We can purchase elsewhere and do better For instance, Prescott trader can go to New York, buy many articles at less prices than | the same can be purchased for in San Fran | cisco or Los Angeles, and can have them freighted to his store, by railroad and wagon for thirteen cents per pound in greenbacks. II he buys in California, the freight upon every pound will cost him l6 cents, gold, ever should he ship his goods by water to La Paz which Is the cheapest, and, likewise, tn, | slowest, most uncertain way. In case he i,
 in hurry for his goods, he must ship by steamer to Wilmington, then, by wagon, tC Prescott, and he will find, to his cost, that by this route, the freight per pound will bc about IS cents, gold. So, Californians vii see, that they are nearly as hard upon us ai the Indians. We cannot stand up under these prices much longer, and, unless they are speedily lowered, we will be compelled tC withdraw our trade from the Golden State

IT rejoices us to be able to state that win ter has nov fairly set in; that the mountain range south of town is covered with from two to three feet of snow, and the foothills with from nine to twelve inches. Every ravine, gulch and creek in the Sierra Prieta is "wet, Y yes, thoroughly soaked. So, also, are our rich foot-hill valleys. This is good. It will help the miner, the farmer, yea, everybody From this time on, until the latter part of aiay next, rs may safely couH: ;;i;a hhsr;;as; hhsr;;a; aplentiful supply of water, for all purposes Mining will be prosecuted with vigor, sni we will again have the pleasure of feasting our eyes upon the yellow orc. Already, many placer miners have gone to work, and the farmers have commenced turning up their lands. The past summer was very dry one and our people had commenced to despair oi ever again getting wetting, when the late 'beautiful snow,"' for which we thank God began to descend, in crystal flakes.

Terrible Railroad Accident.

The California papers contain accounts of a terrible accident, accompanied with great loss of life, which occurred at five minutes past nine, Sunday morning November IA. on the Western Pacific Railroad, in Alameda county, one and half miles south of Brook lyn Park Station.
 The regular morning train for Stockton be- ing behind time came in collision with A passenger train of six cars that had left Hay ward for Alameda at its regular hour.
 Three cars of the Hayward train and four of the Western Pacific were totally ruined in the awful crash. The carnage was horri- blel Twelve corpses were counted on the spot. Thirty-five persons were taken in a mangled condition from the ruin, though still alive, immediately after the occurrence.
 The engines attached to the trains having full head of steam, were smashed to pieces by the shock.
 Some were thrown on their heads, others had their limbs jammed and were held fast by the piled up mass for over an hour, until they could be extricated from their horrible confinement. Tables, seats, stoves, furniture. etc, were piled on them, and so firmly fast ened by the shock that the greatest efforts were necessary to assist them out
 The following is list of the killed and wounded:
 LIST OF THE KILLED Judge A. W. Baldwin, of the Supreme Court of Nevada. He had left the hindmost car of the Western Pacific train and had gone forward. He was terribly crushed and mutt lated. His mother is residing at Oakland with her lon-in-law, J. B. Felton Edward Anderson, engineer of the Western Pacific train. Monsieur Boullet, of Oakland. Prin- cipal of the Young Ladies Seminary. J.

APACHE PAss.-This place--famous in the history of the Territory for the many crimes there enacted by indians--bids fair to become, at no distant day, point of considerable i'm portance. It is in the centre of promising mineral region, to which attention was first attracted by the finding of the "Iarris" lode -one of the richest in gold upon this coast. A ten-stamp mill was built some time ago, to crush Harris ore, and, we believe, is now in operation. We have never seen any of the ore from this ledge, but have been told by reliable miners who have prospected it, that much of it will yield upwards of $50 per ton in free gold. Camp Bowie, military post garrisoned by two companies of United States troops, D, of the 2lst Infantry, and q, of the First Cavalry, is located in the Pass. The officers of the post are: Col. Thos s. Dunn, Col. R. F. Barnard, Capt. John c. Adams, and Lieutenant W. II. Winters. Barnard and Winters have made themselves famous for victories gained by them over the Apaches, while operating under orders from that bluff old veteran, Gen. Thos. c. Devin.

Coming This Way.

A vast wave population is now moving
 Pacifcward through Kansas. It may be
 year or two before it reaches this Territory,
 hut it cannot be much longer. People are following in the wake fthe Kansas Pacific, and settling upon both sides of it. By-and- by, when Congress says: Extend the road to San Francisco" the Queen City of the Pacific, there will be such rush of people to Southern. Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona and California, as the world has never before seen, They will come greedy, oyerAowing with enterprise and desire to clutch lands, mines, timber, everything of value They will clutch them, too; develop them, and make of the wild region through which the route of the great national highway--(3 (35th parallel railroad )Aruns, one of the busiest, richest, happiest regions in the known world. Let them come We want to see them. Meanwhile, we advise ali those who are now here, holding the country for them, to secure smalr patches oft, hold and improve them until the time comes, ,-as come it will-when property especially landed property-will be valuable, even in this Indian bIockaded Territory. Brethren, let us pray for the speedy coming of the railroad and the people.
