Through a letter received from

Through letter received from Hon. R. c. Mccormick by last tnsil we are authorized to an nounce him as candidate for re- election.
 We had feared at one time that he would decline the nomination, for reason which, at the time, appeared sufficient in themselves but having the interests of his Territory and con- stituents at heart and yielding to the solicita- lion of people in every county of the Terri tory. he now comes forward 10 offer himself as their candidate. The people have cause for rejoicing at this conclusion; and we are of the opinion that he will nave the field to himself We do not think that there is in tho whole Ter rtory man who courts public ridicule inso- much as to place himself in a position from which he IS we'll aware thas he must fall, after having suffered an ignominous defeat; aud such vii be the fate of him who will exercise sufficient temerity to call himself candidate with R. C. Mccormick
 In the letter to which we have made refer ence are some hints with regard to his past career and what his future will be Gf elected J We take the liberty of publishing the follow ing extract from his letter which, however he intended as a private communication
 "You may announce a candidate for re- election whenever you deem it best to do so, and will run upon the same independent and simple platform did in 1868. Congress has but just adjourned and have much to do, here in the Departure Tt, but I will try to get away so as to be in the Territory early in September, ready for vigorous campaign, l shall be able, think, to show that I have worked faithfully, and without ceasng for the best interests of the whole Terri tory, and all tho people, and that have lived up to all my promises. had no serious thought f being a candidate for reelection nntl I received letters from each County asking ne to be and assuring that the people were more than satis- fed with my course as their representative.

LET US HAVE A CHANGE OF POLICY

The recent continued depredations upon settlers and travellers throughout the Territory of Arizona, and the impunity enjoyed by the savages at whose hands these outrag ges have been enacted, would seem to demand, in the name ofjustice and humanity, that provisions be made against occurrences of a similar na> ture in future. With the few troops at the disposal of the Department commander, any ameloration in the condition of our people may seem impossible-and must remain i'm possible so long as swepersstin the foolish effort to accomplish with 1900 men a work which will demand the utmost exertiOn of 4O0O men, for whole year, before fair starting point in the contest can be obtained. The experience often years of warfare six years of which may be termed actiCe, should be sufficient to es- tablish to the satisfaction of every intelligent individual, that military force varying at times from 1900 to 20OO man. cannot accom-. plish the subjugation of 20, 900 Indians, well armed, and at houe among the most inac- cessible mountaiR fastnesses within the bound aries of the nation. With this view of the mat ter, then, (and We trust there are but few who will not admit its justice), comes the demand for change of policy. Common sense, even without the aid of fexperience. tells us that our handful of troops" has worked and is still working to accomplish au impOSsbiIity. Why, then, lose further time It has been contend ed that if we struggle on in the work of ex. termination, the government will at length be "stimulated to send us additional aid" This view of the matter is mistake. From an army of 30,000, to a population of 40, ,OO0, 900, We cannot reasonably expect to be reenforced, We have our proportion oftroops and it is well understood that we cannot have more

Progress of the War.

The despatches from Europe, which we pub fish this week, are of mora than ordinary in.. terest. An engagement which, it would appear, has been something more than skirmish, has actually taken place. No confidence can how ever, he placed in the reports which purport to furnish information from the seat of war, as it will be observed that despatches dated in Paris indicate French victory, while those dated at Berlin claim victory for the Prus. sians:
 Paris July 29.-It is thought that the Prus- sans will decline battle by the time the French cross the Rhine. They are concentrating heavy masses of troops at Sienewed, near Cob. Ientz.
 Berlin, July 29.--A general movement of the Prussian forces in the front, on the French lines, has commenced. There is an evident decision of the operations near at hand. Troops are pushing forward to Mayence from all directions.
 Englands violation of neutrality, in supply- ing articles ofcontraband of war to France, is bitterly complained of,
 London, July 29.-Midnigh ight.-French fleet has arrived at Copenhagen.
 Popular excitement at the course of the British Government in the present war, is very great. The people want notice given France that England views with displeasure, intrigues evidently aiming at violation of the independence pf Belgium, and will op- pose with her whole strength any attempt to extend French power on the continent before or after the war.

I he oyerlying gravel has average depth of eighty feet and the cement varies in thickness from six inches to ten feet. It is very hard when first taken out, but after exposure to the action of the atmosphere for one or two years it becomes decomposed. The expenditure upon the claim is estimated at $200,O00 Specimens of the cement or rocky matter have been received and will De placed in the alcove of the Gen eral Land Office cabinet allotted to California minerals.

The melancholy state of affairs now existing in some of the Southern States would almost leadthe intelligent observer to the conclusion that the country is striding toward anarchy Especially in the States of North Carolina and Georgia, subjected to the caprices of two Of the most exeerable demagogues who ever dis graced an Executive chair, is the condition of the inhabitants to be deplored. Ia the former State, Governor Holden, a ruffian of the black est dye, who knows neither political party in in his mad pursuit of power, has organized a band ofrutfans after his own stamp and placed them under the leadership of Ieputed murder CT and cut-throat named Kirk The following clipped from the New York HeraIds corIes- pondence under date of July l9, will give an idea of the outrages to which the inhabitants are subjected:
 The worst terrors of the late war are again realized in this peaceful section of North Carolina in more fe arfnl and alarming manner. Spies, in ormers and interruptions detectives everywhere precede the Governors army of terrroism the advent of which is followed in each neighbOrhood by the arrest of the most respectable and infuen- tial citizens residing there. Midnight, too is the hour selected for perpetrating these unjustifable and unwarrantable Outrages. Houses are sur rounded by Kirk's armed band, the inmates are threatened with instant death if resistance is made and citizens are dragged, i'll the presence ofwives and daughters, from their beds and homes to the imprisonment of camp, subjected, to the vile curses, horrible jeers, and infamous threats of band of assassins. If such acts are not we'll call culated to provoke instruction, and blood shed, then human endurance is great indeeed. Many unsophistcated traVSllersfr from the North in- nOcently, but indignantly, demand tie meani ng and cause of this infamous warike programme but beyond the information that an election takes place next month, in which the prospects of Governor Holden are uOs very bright, they learn nothing.
 The part played by Governor Bullock of Georgia, although not quite so lawlsss as that played by him of North Carolina, is yet of character which would seem calculated to drive the State to open rebellion.
