Lower California.

Considerable effort is now being put forth to fill up this Mexican Territory with Ameri. can emigrants from California and other States, and, strange to say, the principal Cal ifornia papers are discountenancing all move ments looking to that end, and denouncing Lower California as of no account. This, we think, is short-sighted policy, and should be abandoned. If people want to go to Lower California, let them go, and see for them selves. That it is not worthless desert, as some San Francisco papers assert, is well known to persons who, like ourSelf, have been there, and partook of the good things
 it produces; such as oranges, sweet Hines, etc We want to see the entire coast, from the Colorado to the Golden Gate, settled with Americans, and, of course, are favorable to all honest eolonizing schemes. There is much good land in lower California, great deal of min eral wealth, and the great gulf which washes it's shores teens with fish of every kind, SC that there is no danger of Americans who have gone, and who may go there, starving to death.

OBITUARY.

Colonel Charles W. Lewis, who departed this life at San Diego, California, in the early part of tue present month, came to ArizonS at very carly day, as Colonel of the sev- en,h regiment, California Volunteers, and held important commands unt,l that organi- za,ion was mustered out of the service, when he settled at Tnbac, Pima county, and deNo- ted his energies to the development ol that region. In 1867, his felnw-citizens of Pima honored him with sn election to the Lower House Of the Legislature, which met at Pres colt, in September of that year. He took a very active part in the proceedings, and proved himself a man of tact and ability by the succes. which heat the head Of the Pi- ma delegation in having an act passed, transferring the seat or government l of the Territory from Prescott to Tucson. This achieyment greatly increased his p0pn' larity. south of the Gila, and he was at one time talked of as an available candidate to represent the Territory in Congress. But, ! the "diekers," and negotiations which led te his success in removing the capital barred the door of Congress against him, and he had to put up with the promise of the Colonelcy of a regiment of "natiyeS volunteers, which it was believed, Congress would permit th' Territory Co raise and equip. The regiment as Is we'll known, was not raised, and Colone Lewis remained a private citizen Of Pim' county, until ayear or more ago, when he re moved to San Diego, and interested himse! in advancing the interests of that place. Hh career in the army won him the respect o his fellow soldiers In private life, be mad' fast friends, and was very successful in keep ing them. He was, we believe, native 0

LATE NEWS.
FROM VARIOUS QUARTERS

European The mail arrived here Thursday night, bringing us Los Angeles papers of the l'th. from which we learn that the election m France resulted in favor of the Manarchists, and that, in all probability, the Count de Paris would be called to the throne. Belfort had surrendered to the Germans and there was some probability that the armistice would be extended another week. it was generally admitted that the struggle would not be renewed.
 Domestic
 The news from Washington is favorable to the speedy passage of the Texas Pacific Rail road bill, it having been taken from the Speakers table, bys two-third vote, and re- ferred to the Committee on Railroads, who, no doubt, have, ere this, returned the bill with favorable report.
 The Territory.
 A private letter from Tucson, of date the | 18th inst, informs us that the bill creating the "County of Maneopan had passed both houses, and was in possession of the Gov ernor It leaves Wickenburg in Yavapai :. .. The Legislature was to have adjourned on the 18th. No mails had been received from Prescott for three weeks. The old set of 1 Territorial officers had been confirmed.
 The Arisonaa publishes a rumor to the ef- feet that the Apaches had stolen, from Camp Thomas, all the stock belonging to Hinds X Hooker, and rLn them into the mountains.
 Private letters received by us from Camp Mcdowell, say that on the l5th, about l30 Indians swooped down upon the Government herd, at Infantry Camp, and in spite of Lieu tenant Riley and ten men, who were guard ing the herd, gobbled every animal about the place, and drove them towards their fast neSses. The Lieutenant had one man killed and two wounded. The sayages got co or 7C head of mules, and several head of beef cat tie. They have also been stealing from tho settlements on Salt River and the Gila, ai well as from Wiekenburg.

furnishes the following statement as showing
The deaths of persons who are intemperate.
as compared with an equal number Of persons
of temperate habits. He says tnat II ioo.ooo
intemperate persons be taken rom aa hileen 70 20
corresnondine ages who are not intemperate,
thIrty.two @ Of the foImer will die as often as
ten Of the latter. Out of 100000 of each,
issD7 of the incorporate will be dead before
fffy yenrs of age, but Of those who are not In
temneratr tenn 1855 only will be dead. From fifty
Years TO sixty the comparative numbers of
deaths win be 64lsand 2254. and from sixty
years to seventy they will be 45lA ana sS.SSo;
much more .potential than any prohibitory
laws to check the suicidal growth of habits
whose fatal results are thus mathemalcally
demonstrated.
