tiers about the Post.
CAMP THOMAS, A T., Feb. 18th,
1S71.-On leaving Tucson, promised
to send you all the news 1 could gath
er at this Camp, which I find is not
much.
Orders have been received here,
transferring all recruits who enlisted
in 1870, to the Third Cavalry, and
there has been several assertions on
the strength of it. The men are much
dissatisfied at the idea of being left Ill
Arizona.
Col. John Green and 1t. P. S. b.
mus left here on the 18th, with 80
men for the Pinal mountains, on 10
days scout.
A train is showed in about 80 miles
from here, coming from New Mexico,
freighted with, L am told, general
goval nment stores. Snow fell here to
the depth Of about two inches last
Thursday, though the weather seems
much warmer han it was some days
ago.
The post has at last been removed
to the high mesa, about half a mile
from its original site. Each Troop OF
cavalry is CHARTERED in eight log houses,
the two Troops facing each other, and
B company of the 21st Infantry in
five houses III rear of Troop NJ. The
camp is laid out III the form ola square,
and presents much-the appearance OF
small town, and will probably, in a
short time be one of the finest posts in
Arizona. A new commiSsary build
ing 3Ox100 feet, or thereabouts, has
just been completed. 1t is built Of logs
sawed III halves and placed on end, the
foot being Set about three feet i'll the
ground, making quite "a substantial
building.

The tri-weekly mail between here and
San Diego is fairly in operation. Monday,
Wednesday and yesterday the mats came as
they should, and we have no doubt they will
continue to come, so far as the carriers are
concerned. If the San Francisco Postmas-
ter could only be induced to send our mail
daily overland down the coast to San Diego
we would be very acceptably served. Since
the blockade on the Kansas Pacific railway
in December, nearly all eastern mail has
reached here via California.

Thanksgiving.

We are glad to notice that the
Governors of most Of the States
agreed with the President in appoint
ing last Thursday as a day ofgeneral
Thanksgiving. While we think that
every individual should every dayin
the year offer "a sacrifice of thanks
giving" to God for his daily mcrcies,
we like to see q national recognition
of obligation to Him, even if it is of
fered only once a year.
We regret exceedingly to hear
many persons say that we have moth
ing to be particularly thankful for
Iflife, health, food, clothing, and the
love and friendship Of relatives and
friends, arc desirable; if we feel IN
willing to forego them, certainly we
have much to be thankful for. IF
the temporal chastenings Of the AL
mighty are to be feared, we have
special and great cause of gratitude
to Him that we. have escaped the
visitation of His rod upon millions
of our fellow beings. Is it nothing
that we have enjoyed immunity from
the terrible famine which has deci-
mated Persia; the cholera and small
pox which have scourged Russia,
and Germany; the %conhagra-
tons which have desolated Michigan,
Wisconsin and Chicago; and the icy
which have frozen in death so
many warm hearts that lately throb-
bed with hope and affection in Eng
land and on our northern coasts? Say
nothing, if we will, Of our spiritual
and our temporal mercies
call loudly for thanksgiving to Him
from whom cometh every good and
perfect gift.
In all ages and countries insrati-
tude to an earthly benefactorhas been
'egarded As the gravest of crimes.
Let us not then insult Il greatest
Benefactor BY saying that We have
10 cause of thankfulness to Him.

Air Treatment in Sugar Making.

Mr.. A. G. Cook, the Southern Agent for
the d'IIeureuse Patent Air Treatment, has
placed upon our table a sample of yellow
clarified sugar, made by the application of
air in the Qualification ofthe cane juice with
out lime or sulphur, that is equal to the
best article in this market. 1t has been
pronounced by experts a number one art

as far as tested, has proven entirely salts

ter in whose interest it has been applied.
The sample before US is a part Of q lot of
several barrels, made by the air treatment
on the Buena Vista plantation, in the parish
of St. James. The sugar is very dry and
most beautifully crystalized, the grain being
exceedingly large and firm.
Mr.. c. has also furnished US with a sam
pie of sugar made by the Air Treatment in
connection with the use oflirne and sulphur.
This specimen is very white and quite a
good article, though the grain is not SO large
as that made by the air treatment alone.
We look anxiously for further tests in this
important discovery, and trust it may prove
the desiderstum so long sought by sugar
makers, viz: a cheap, certain and efficient
means of defeating cane juice, without the
use OF injurious chemicals.
Mr.. dHerreuse, the patentee of the Air
Treatment, will be in attendance upon the
Fair, when it is expected hat he will ex-
hibit the practical workings of this applica-
ton in the manufacture of sugar The

Gen. Blair on the Presidential
Election.

Washington, Nov. e6.-Hon. Montgomery
Blair has been interviewed. He says: LET
the Democratic party, as an organization,
stand back and the field be kept clear to the
dissfected and independent Republicans.
Let the Radicals call their convention and
nominate Grant, and let the Independent
Republicans bolt and nominate whoever
they please, and then the Democrats rally
to his support"
He says some artif1ce must be used to de.
feat Grant, and expresses a personal prefer
ence for William Cullen Bryant, although
he thinks Trumbull would make a splendid
candidate, as would also Judge Davis, Judge
Ramsey, ex-Secretary Cox, and Gratz
Brown. III spite of his tariff proclivities,
ne would support Mr.. Greeley. He does
not think there is any scarcity of material,
and the only difficulty to be apprehendcd is
in the thinkerism and B%ourbonism of the
Democracy.

Greeley on OfiCe-Seeking.

Horace Greeley, having an eye to
the Presidency, has been moved to
an outburst Of indignant rebuke of
otfice-seeking. In a recent speech
delivered at Dubuque the philoso-
pher launched his thunderbOlt:
"Oftice-seeking is becoming the
curse Of the country, and / know Of
no greater nuisance in the body poll
tic than holders of office. When a
man accepts a small office at the
hands of a government, or a people,
he is lost; he never will be worth
anything to himself or his neighbors.
Some young men think if they can
only get a clerkship in Washington
they will be fixed for life; so they
will be, but what a fix! They are
then buried, and their lives worse
than wasted"
If that is the case. with a young
man in a clerkship, what will be the
fix of an old man as President?

Important Democratic Movement.

Terre Haute, November 27.-Hon. D. W.
VOORHEES,, in a card published in the Jour
nal OF this city, proposes arf"important De-
mocrat!c movement. He says: | keenly
appreciate the Importance of an anthorita-
tive expression Of principles which are to
guide US in the future as in the past. It
should be made at an early date in order
that organization shall be perfected and con-
idence restored by the time the approach.
ing campaign is upon rs.
This, however, should be the work cf A
National Convention, embracing delegates
from all the States. ! am in favor of call
ing such a convention at some central point
in the West, or a day not later than the
22d of February next. The call should be
issued By the National Executive Committee
and the delegates should be appointed by
States and district conventions. The l,usi-
ness of this body should be to carefully and
patiently weigh all views laid before It. and
to agree npon and publish clear and defn-
lite declaration of principles upon all matters
affecting the political welfare of the people
and the safety of our free institutions.
This being done, it should adjourn TO a
day fixed for the nomination ola candidate
for the Presidency. In the meantime the
people Of the States can discuss and approve
or disapprovc of what has been done. It
would be the duty of all Democrats taking
part in politics to submit to the voice of the
majority.
If there are such as prefer their own con.
victions even to the platform of a national
convention, they can slip aside in quiet
without embarrassing anybody else. Let
us have political as well as personal harmo-
ny, and success is within our reach. If the
entire Democratic vote can be consolidated.
inspired with enthusiasm and brought to the
polls, Ge~. Grant cannot be elected.
1t was the voters in our party which
at home on the days of the late cleo
ton, which wrought such widespread defeat.
There is no. increase of the Republican vote.
! make the above suggestion knowing that
it is entirely practical and that it meets the
urgent demand of the present crisis.
shall respectfully urge it upon the National
Committee, and ask for it the ia
vorable consideration of the Conservative
men everywhere.

NEVILLE CAsTRo.-In our issue Of last
Saturday ne mentioned the fact of this
counterfeit LAstie Broussard being lodged in
our parish jail, but failed TO give a full de-
tail of his case, which came up for trial on
preliminary examination before Hon. E.
Gdegnon, Parish Judge, on the 10Th ult.
1t appears that in the month of August,
last, this Neville Castro, in company with
two or three others, stole from some of our
laborious and honest planters, five or six
horses and sold them to a merchant in
Opelousas, by the name of Solomon Loeb,
for the enormous price Of $50, and Castro
who acted as business manager in the affair
being required by Loeb to give a bill Of sale
of the horses, his name and to sign the
document, said that he could not write,
but gave his naale as Lastie Broussard,
which was written by some one present
and he made his mark to the same in the
presence of two witnesses.
We would here state that Mr.. Lastie
Broussard is Clerk of the Court of this
parish, is a we'll respected citizen and the
signing of his name to the above mentioned
document was forgery.-[Abbeville Flag
