Will the indians Take the Country ?


VIII the indians Take the Country?
We are not of the class disposed to
create sensational alarm, nor to find
fault because we can't have everything
lust as we would like it should be, but
the question at the head of this article,
it seems to us is one of serious moment
to the people-at least of this portion
of Arizona.
We have referred in another column
to two recent attacks made by the In
dams, and the fact is fresh in our
minds that but few months ago, a
simultaneous attack was made all
along the overland road, which result
ed in the loss of large amount of
property and the murder of many of
our citizens. The Indians have been
for sometime around the farms of the
upper Santa Cruz and Sonoita valley,
and the citizens are in fear of an at
tack that will drive them from the
country, and which will again turn
that rich and productive portion Of the
Territory over to the savages.
In view of these facts, we are led to
inquire, what force is there to combat
these savages; protect the mail route,
and prevent the farmers being driven
from the country? We are compelled to
answer, none. At Tucson there is the
skeleton Of AN infantry company
barely enough to do camp duty, and
Crittenden is in the same condition.
It is true that Lieut.. Cushing has been
placed in the field with orders to fol-
low the Indians, and use discretionary
powers to a great extent; and it is
true also that he is as brave and ener-
getic all officer as there is in this Ter
ritory, but with all the energy posi-
bic, the Indians can attack at one point
while he is at another, and with COM
parative safety commit their depreda-
tions.
We have heard unpleasant rumors
recently of the contemplated abandon
ment by the government of the posts
at Tucson, Crittenden and Grant.
That of course, would leave all OF Ari-
IONA South of the ella without pro-
lection, and could not but result in the
breaking up of the overland mail route
and the virtual abandonment OF the
country. Such d course would be so
suicidal to the best interests of the
Territory, and the government, that
we cannot believe it is true. With
the meagar assistance received from
the government, we have succeeded
in building up town of nearly 1000
inhabitants at Tucson already quite
an immigration is coming from Sono-
IA and large portion Of the people of
that State we believe earnestly desire
annexation to the United States, but
should our government without mo-
ment's warning abandon and leave to
the tender mercies Of the Savages a
large portion Of the Territory, they
would naturally conclude nothing was
to be gained by such an alliance.

The result fully demonstrates that they

more disastrous to the French than to

French about Orleans was terrible

was duped by MowrY, Or was party
to that lying dispatch on the subject
of the Arizona election The editor of
that paper is a candidate for Congress.
If he is SO little posted, Or has SO little
sense as to permit Mowry and bis own
name to be associated for a moment on
any subject, we pity him; and let him
take warning in time, that the very
name of said Mowry in connection with
any cause or business, is failure and
disgrace. That's all.

was such that the citizens took the

hung him. We get this in dispatch
from the operator at San Diego.

strong move III Southern California
to run a man for Congress independ-

California has heretofore sighted the
lower end of the State, and this move
is to correct that sort of thing, and
ought to succeed. In short, that sec
ton and this Territory have common
interests, and all should be united.

THE Coal INTEREsT.-Mr Herbert Lord
arrived from Camp Thomas on Thursday,
with four teams. He brought with him
about six tons of the coal discovered near
that post, which is hard by the new road
leading from Prescott to New Mexico-or
about on the 35th parallel. The veins or
stratas put off from ravine into and quite
high up the mountain. 1t is so plentiful
that one man with pick knocked down a
load in an hour or so, and of good quality
enough to run the government saw-mill
there. The batch brought in here is for
government use. This Territory has about
everything except half chance.
The ARIZONA ELEcT1oN.-A San
Francisco dispatch was recently re-
ceived and published in The Post,
which charged Gov. Stafford, and 9TH
er officials, Of Arizona, with fraud in
the recent election, and claimed that
Brady, the Democratic candidate was
only defeated by fraud. 1t turns out
that the story, as we expected, was a
sheer ia IRRIGATION, without any shadow
of foundation or fact, and 1t was
doubtless manufactured by notorious
mountebank named Mowry Gov.
Mccormick is honestly reelected by
the handsome majority of over 900.

SOMETHING ABOUT ST. CLOUD,
s'F1andsomo TOwn''-BeautffulIv situ.
atsd''-''Elegant Resittenccs''-"Plac
of Wealth.
A correspondent Of the St. Charles
Herald who visited St. Cloud, speaks
as follows Of our wide awake young city :
"When at home we are disposed to
speak Of St. Cloud as away up north -;
here north is away up tho Mississippi,
$50 or 200 miles. St. Cloud is a
handsome town, we'll built on a level,
handsome prairie, and beautifully stu
ated on the Mississippi. St. Cloud en-
tirely exceeded our expectations.
There are large number of elegant
private residences, and a very we'll
built Catholic cathedral of brick.
This place is great point for transport
ing supplies to the forts north aud west,
to the Northern Pacific Railroad, and
the Red River of the north. In con-
sequence, it is place of much wealth.
One of the State Normal schools is be-
ing built here. The Mississippi, here,
is beautiful rapid stream, about IS
rods wide, flowing between close banks,
60 feet high. A bridge, we'll built by
Gen. Morris, of st. Paul, spans the riv-
er. To oar taste, no more beautiful
sites for residences could be desired
than between St. Cloud and Sank
Rapids, two miles above-itself beau
fully situated village. Above the rap
ids there is long stretch of naviga-
ton. St. Paul by railroad, and also
can be, We believe, by navigation.
The Northern Pacific railroad is locat-
ing line to be built north 100 miles.
A railroad to Naukato is in view, as
we'll as one to Lake Superior. 1t costs
nothing to grade a railroad here.
The road to ST. Paul, for tens of miles
is graded merely by shallow ditching."

METZ.

10 connection with the surrender Of
Metz to the German forces, tho follow.
ing sketch Of the past history Of the
fallen city, clipped from the Chicago
Republican, will be of interest:
''Nor is Metz dependent for the in
terest which must attach to it merely
to the present. For many years the cap
ital of Austrasia, under tho Emperor
Ohio l., it became a free Imperial
city. In 1852 the Constable De Mont
morenoy gained possession Of it by
strategem for bis master, Henri H.,
and the Emperor Charles v, furious
at the capture of so important a posi-
ton, attempted to regain it with
force of 100000 of the best troops
then in Europe. Francis Duo de
Guise, then but a young man of
thirty, the same who took Calais from
the English Mary, undertook its de.
Tense with Prince Condo, then too in
his youth. 1u 1888, after q siege of
ten months, the bafled Emperor re-
tired with the bitter remark, fortune
is woman she gives her favors only
to the young" In 1878 the forti6ca-
tions planned by Vauban were COM
pleted in nearly their present form
by Marshal Belleisle, and in 1879 the
great gun called Vogle. Grief, taken by
the French at Ehrenbreitstein, was
placed in the great square, a trophy
which the Prussians in their turn will
now probably compel its csptors to
abandon forever. The most important
features in the Notifications are Belle
Croix, La Double Couronue, and re-
doubt called Pata, so built that it may
be converted into an island by closing
the sluices of the Seillc.
''Like Strasbourg and Reims, one of
the glories Of Metz is its magnificent
cathedral: from the spire Of which, 1873
feet high, the traveller may survey the
country stretching miles beyond the bat
