THE BRIGHT SIDE.

However dismal and checrlcss thc orhehi through which Arizona has passed, ever since it's organization as Territory of the United States, and for yesrs before, one connot take . comprehensive view of its condition, at present, without acknowledging that the picture presents bright side, which is grad ually expanding and imparting confidence to the people and encouragement to i'm migration.
 The terrible vengeance recently taken by the citizens of Southern Arizona upon the murderers of the San Pedro settlers, will give the country at large to understand that the criminal compact formed between tine Gov ernment and the Indians-the former furnish ing the means and the latter the men--to crush out the settlers, was an attempt to ex act too much forbearance from people alres- dy systematically piundCrcd and heartlcssly sacrificed, alternately to economy and Quaker fanatieism. The ehastisement was terrible, but has had good effect; as the people of Southern Arizona are now enjoying campara- tive quiet. Its wholesome effects being thus evinced we cannot conscientiously condemn the act.
 The next important feature presented by this ideal picture, is the removal of General Stoneman-an officer whose representations of the condition of this Department had the dcplorable effect of diminishing our military protective force, and thereby of placing the Territory at the mercy O of brutal ssvages, who, in the course of few months, wrought the destruction of property to the value of s0, 900, murdered upwards of twenty set tlers, and devastated some of the richest val leys of the Territory. In connection with this is the appointment to the command of the Department, of General Crcok-the man who, judging from his past record in this pe- culiar warfare, the people of Arizona would probably have chosen above all others to di- rect the military affairs of this Department, had it been at their disposal to make s e. lection. The voice ot the people. as shown by the press throughout the country, has over ridden the poisonous hypocrisy of the Quaker policy, On the Indian question and with General Crook m command of the Depart ment, we may hope that the day is not far distant when our pioneers may travel with security throughout the length and breadth of the Territory, develop its rich mineral and agricultural regions and cultivate home con- forts and friendly associations where now she wild, brutal savage holds undisputed sway.

 changes the incorporaton of the Texas Pacif- ic Railroad have effected q thorough oruani- ration, with Marshall o. Roberts at it's head. Tbe name Of this capitalist--one of the coun- try's most astute inancisrs-in that position. will be looked upon as a guarantee for the speedy and faithful prosecution of the work.
 And last, but not least, is the marvellous deposits ofgold and silver ores at Bradshaw. The MINER has already spoken st length re- garding the immensity and wonderful rich ness of these mines. Immigration, at . pace unprecedented in the history of Arizona, con- tinues to stream thither from all parts of California AS we'll as from New Mexico, Ne vada and Texas. Bradshaw offer, that in- ducement to poor men. which California did in ls49-50. Capital cannot crush out labor at one fell swoop, s in the case at White Pine for the reason that men who have gone thither without means can maintain themselves, and make wages besides, hy work ing placer mines in the immediate neighbor- hood. The result is, that the country is rapidly filling up and the population is of that hardy, unflinching character, without the presence of which, the wilderness could nev- CT have been subdued.
 And such Is the picture that is gradually shedding it's benign influence over the reign Of terror and devastation which has made of Arizona charnel-house wherein rest the re- mains Of murdered adventaren from every civilized nation of the globe.
