The story of the "Infders Sheep y
reminds some one of another story about
sheep, which is almost as good. He had
it from the lips of the late William Ladd,
Of Minot, Maine, the famous old peace
man of the past generation.
He said he once had a neighbor by
the name of P, who was slack and
careless about his fences, and whose
sheep, as a natural consequence, became
breachy and very troublesome. They
often found their way into his moving
fields, and greatly irritated himself and
his hired hands" so that they finally
threatened to shoot them if they we're
not kept within their bounds. But
nothing availed. P obstinatoly re-
fused to mend hrs fence or take any
pains to keep his sheep out of his neigh
boris field.
mo" said Ladd, II am not going to
shoot them, nor hurt them; but | want
you to let me take your sheep into my
pasture and keep them for you" "0h,
yes, replied P, that would be a
nice plan to get rid of my sheep"
" "Neighbor," said Ladd, if one of your
sheep is lost in my pasture / will pay its
full value.
By this time P had become suf-
ficiently interested in the matter under
discussion TO cease from his hoeing and
turn toward Mr. Ladd
While matters we're in this disagree
able condition, Mr. Ladd said that it
occurred to him that he was not carrying
out his peace principles very faithfully
in his dealings with neighbor p
SO he resolved on different line of ac-
ton; and, going TO the fence of field
in which he saw p at work. he called !
to him.
What do you want, Squire2 was the
bluff answer.
p" want to talk to you about those |
sheep" replied Ladd.
:" don't want TO hear anything more |
about the sheep, was P-s rejoiuder.
" You may shoot them and be hanged, if |
you want to; amt going to do any
thing with them"
Are you in earnest, SquireY said he.
"To be sure / am, replied Ladd.
g You see it would be economy to pas
ture your sheep, rather than to have
them in my fields; and would guarantee
the safety of every sheep you will drive
into my pasture, for | don't intend to
have any more quarreling about them
with my neighbor.
p looked sharply at the old peace
man for a moment, and then said You
may 60 along, Squire, I'll take care of
the sheep" FF nW
And he was as good as his word. Ladd
never had any occasion to complain of
neighbor P after that day. that he
was not as good a neighbor as he wished
10 have.

The fouring mill of W. Richard < Co.,, at PhUn:x, was destroyed by lire on inc night of the 2d inst. Our correspondent gives it as his opinion, and the belief of the people generally, that the burning was the work of an incendisvy. This occurrence is serious setback to the people of Salt River valley, who had begun to depend upon the mill for ah the flour they might need.
 Mr. Richard & Co. will immediately set about the work of erecting another mill
 No trouble with the Pima Indians has been experienced by the settlers since the last rc- ported in these columns.
 Money Is scasce, but quite as abundant as at any. place which our correspondent has visited of late.

THE NEWS.

We copy the following Washington dcs- patch from the San Diego Uaioa. The ser ,ence in brackets is, we presume, by the ed- tor. In few words it expresses the senti ment of every paper published on the Pa cihc Coast and, of course, has our endorse ment-in the absence of space to say more:
 Vincent Colyer has written a letter to the Secretary of the Interior, dated Fort Craig, New Mexico, 22d August, in which he says he had several interviews with messengers from Cachise, but they gave no satisfaction and chances of bringing that chief to Wash ington are very slight. He apPcnds the f0l- lowing to his letter:
 CANADA ALANAGA, August 2l.t, 1871. NATHANIEL PoPE, Esq: Dear Sir-Mr. THjlio has just got in. without seeing Ca chise. He says he very unexpectedly met General Crook, who ordered him back, and re- fused to recognize his authority to go to Ca chise's camp, and threw his letter down in disdain saying tbat the Superintendent of 1 Indian Affairs in New Mexico, or any of his agents, had no authority to send parties into | Arizona that his instructions authorized 1 him to capture any American or Mexican found or his route. Good for General ! Crook He also says they attempted to ar rest his Indians, but Lieutenant Ross knew Saco. and nterccded for him. Crook would not let him get his rations which were some l distance from where he met the party. The ! General sand they were very lucky to get back with their lives. without rations.

THE MEN WE NEED.

We src in receipt of a letter from gen tlcman connected with the Labor Exchange, in San Francisco, which requests us to state "the class and number of persons who would be likely to find employment inyour Tern "torv, Gin mines, manuiactories, agricultural "pursuits, Sc, &c, the rates of wages and "the cost of transit from our city to where "thc parties seeking employment can pro "cure the same" In reply to these questions, we would state that we have now the sane encouragement to offer to immigrants which has been held forth by this Territory since ls64. The class of persons necessary to build up frontier country is not that which constitutes the floating, unemployed inhabi- tauts of large cities. Give us workers, and at the same time men who are not dependant upon the pursuit of one trade or profession for livelihood Give us men who arc able and willing to endure hardships unknown at the seats of civilization in short men Ot en- ergy and perseverance, either miners, me cbancs or agriculturisls; but each individual should be capable of adapting himself, m some degree. 10 either one Ui these occupa' ,ious as occasion or necessity may require. Of such men as these k the present popuia- ton of Arizona composed; and II will be tu the advantage of all other classes oi laboring men to seek more indulgent home than Arizona: but to the class which we have re. commended we do not hesitate 70 ensure sat is!action and success should they feel dispos cd to make the trial. In Arizona the farmer should, To a great extent, be his own me chanic; the blacksmith his own carpenter { and the stock raiser his own hcrtler.
 To state the number of men who might ! obtain employment, 1t is sufficient to say 1 that of the proper class of men there Is room | enough for all that California can export | The rates of wages range from $50 to SI5 ! per month and board. An ordinary miner Is ! paid at the rate of about SGO and an experi- i enced miner will receive the highest salary | paid to laborng hands, viz; SD, But tn. should be a matter of little importance to tho | immigrant, whose first object should be tC secure his independence--and the speedies : and surest way of becoming indepcndant 1 until such time as the Indians shall have beer l subdued and driven from the mining districts would be to settle upon and cultivate lanC | in some of the valleys where water for irri
 gation may be obtained.
 The cost of transit, if the mode of trave be properly arranged on the overland journel from Los Angeles, will be but trifling-less
 perhaps, than Sl00.
 That which Arizona most needs at presen
 is good, industrious population; and if tn California Labor Exchange can do anythin;
 toward securing this for her, it will be
 mutual advantage. At all events, we ar
 pleased to notice, m this, the existence of a
 emigration scheme which, while it may b
 slow to operate, is yet of a nature sufficient
 ly tangible to inspire hope for the best re
 suits.

Los Angeles Items.

Our Los Angeles exchanges come freighted with the proceedings in the trial of Allanson Gardner, charged of having been a party to the murder of the Bilderbeck brothers. The evidence in the case reveals hcrTid record of heartless villany, in which the late " Buckskin was chief actor
 Two noble red men, one influenced by love and the other actuated by jealousy, came to a collision on the streets. One brsndished A batchet and the other brandished his fists. The hatchet man scalped the fist man, in spots, all around the skull, and was locked up in jail for his devotion.

General Crook comes here, is just getting matters ready for work in the winter, Uhe only time you can find Indians, as now they are scattered all over the cuuntry), and when he is prepared, after an expense to the Gov ernmcnt of getting bis material, the word comes to hold on.

From Florence.

Our correspondent at Florence writes, un- der date of September 7th, as follows;
 We have q little excitement here every few days. About ten days ago a man by the name of Fisher struck Pima Indian with his fist, and then shot at him twice, but fail ed to hit him either time. The Pima Indian left in disgust and all went along quietly un- ,il Sept. 3d, when tue same man (FiSher) took shot at Chas. Mason, missing him, also, although the intention was evidently murderous.
 Tuesday morning, about o'clock, there was shooting match at Adamsvil'c; a man by the name of Brown shot J. II. Kelly twice-once in the shoulder and once in the side-though not dangerously.
 1T this work keeps up there will be some. thing else besides civil law on the Gila, as the citizens are getting tired of being shot at for fun.

The expected Indian struggle at San Luis Key, California, which, for few weeks past, has furnished sensational news matter for the Press of Southern California, turns out to be no struggle at all but a mere bub- be, which exploded on the 2d inst, by the presence, amUng the people of Los Angeles, of the {" Rebel Chief" Oegario, who had come to inform the people and the press that he had no intention of making war. His presence at Los Angeles, alone and unarned, about the time at which he was expected to descend upon the settlement of San Luis Key, at the head of 800 warriors, should have inspired, and, we expect, did inspire the enterprising newspaper men with a most supreme disgust.

The Nep Nericon says that it is the inten- ton of the Atlantic tS Pacific Company 10 push their road west through the Indian Ter ritory as fast as money can do it, in order to secure the cattle business from Texas, which is reported as immense.
