Withdrawal of Lands.

Those who own farms along the Gila river, and who have not yet entered their lands, should do so immediately, as we have learned from Geo. Lount, Receiver of the U. $. Land Office at this place, that orders have been re- ceived at his office to withdraw from settle. ment and entry, in the interest Of the South Pacific Railroad, the lands for 40 miles on both sides of the line of this road, in this Territory, in order, VIC presume, that they may fasten upon every alternate section. Owing to some delay, the map forwarded from Washington has not yet arrived, but is expected by next mail. Upon it's arrival notice of withdrawal will be given in this paper.

Mexico.

The fierce partisans Of our sister Republic are "at it :" again. Fighting little and foot racing great deal ars games Mexicans have great passion for playing; and were it not for the sake of humanity and raw-hide we should enjoy the scrimmsge. Yes, there is one thing more connected with this Mexican "music which renders 1t distastefll to an American; this is their peculiarity of making us pay the piper. If they wonld coniine their throat-eutting operations to their own terri tory there might be comfort in the hope of the ultimate annibilation oftbe restive spirits among them; but they are necessarily raiding upon our border settlements our people and carrying of their substance. In the hope of having Mexico peopled by a bet ter race of human creatures than the belliger- ent hybrids of to-day, we would charitably say, Let this people exterminate itself! Bat they must cease plundering Americans in Arizona, Lower California, New Mexico and Texas, Of, by the body ofzack. Taylor they'll hear from los gringos before many mopths shall have passed away. 'Twould smeliorate our condition were we to kill of . few thou sand of the blanketed thieves who infest the border, while tho act would secure to us the friendship of the coyotes and turkey -buzzards for all time.

The Presidents Message.

This document is published is several of the San Francisco papers received by Mon. days mail but owing to q press of other work we have not found time to read the whole articir, and must, therefore, rest satis. fled with giving the following brief synopsis, which VIC find ready made in the Los Ange- les Nev', (Dcmocra.icJ which that journal states, embraces all the points in the docu- ment. Here is the synopsis: Our foreign relations are in . satisfactory condition. An appropriation to educate American youth in China and Japan is recom- mended, as also are subsidies for Australian steamship lines. The Federal debt is being reduced 4 modification of the tax and tar iff laws, and the abolition of the "share" sya- tenn in cases of seizure of snugglcd goods, arc suggested. The Army and Navy are well provided for and in effective condition. Special attention is directed to the postal tel sgraph system. Brief reference is made to the ku-klux. Pclygamy to bc put down in Utah. Colyer's Infan policy is endorsed, and liberal appropriations to carry 1t ont are recommended The public lands should be disposed of only 10 actual settlers. Higher salaries Co Bureau officials are advised. The attention of Congress is called to the necc.- sity of Civil Service reform. The document presents nothing new, and is merely a sum ming up of the routine affairs of the past year.
 if the reservation policy is COlyer's policy, then, indeed is the editor of the NeWs correct in saying that the President indorsed it. Col yer, however, went in for bribing hostile In- dians to live upon reservations; and we are quite sure that President Grant docs not now wish to give this scheme another trial. Should circumstances, however, prove to us that our conclusion is at fault, we have only to say, that the President is fully as sportive and uncertain as the Irishman's flea.
 Our attention has been directed to ono queer point in the message, which would secn to have escaped comment. |, is the as sertiOn that American citizens dwelling in foreign lands, where slavery is tolerated, or wnked al, hold and deal in slaves, l" contrary io the fundamental law of their own country" Now this is shocking, we suppose, otherwise the prsx:dcH; would uot have recommended Congress 10 pass stringent laws for the pun ishmcut of all such audAcious Americans as have had, or may hereafter have, anything to do toward hiring, buying, or selling slaves even in countries whose laws give them free scope so to do. Is not this a far-reaching proposition7 We think SO.

Christmas Ball at Phoenix.

The good people of this young and thrifty town--the capital of Marieopa county--have determined upon celebrating the coming Christmas with a grand ball, to attend which ourssli and "ladyn have received q very po- lite "invits.h Our lady-whoever or wher- ever she may be- has our permission to attend, but much grumbiing would be indulged in by our partners, in this office, were we again to absent ourself, even for the purpose of ac. eompsnying lady to Phgnix, and were we to go there without one, and it should come to pass that all the young ladies of Phnuix should fall in love with us--which they couldn't very well help doing-we have sui. fcient sense left to know that some of those erusty, gushing old bachelors who warble soft notes by the margin of fair Salt, might take it into their heads to put . head on UT. 1" or ornament the one we have with tin ear. No, kind sirs, you must excuse us from at tending your ball. Meantime we hope and know 1t will be grand success without us.

"Njne " Host."

Tom Goodman, of Ehrenberg, is a whole team in his ''ays, and bis ways are numerous. For instance, he runs the only ferry boat on the Colorado river opposite Ehrenberg. He also runs the River View Hotel (where good board and comfortable rooms may be ob. ta'ned J; stable, corral and other things, too numerous to mention.

ANOTHER CHRISTMAS.

Another anniversary of the Birthday of the Redeemer of mankind is at hand, and ss it is usual for the followers Of the "Meek and Lowly Jesus,n who came upon earth, suf- fered and died, that we might be saved, to celebrate the day, in a becoming manner, we hope the Christian people of this Territory will not be backward in doing so.
 The day Is sacred, to be sure It com memorates the greatest and happest event, for mankind, that has ever occurred since God said "Let there be light" For this reason, it has been kept more as day of joy than of sorrow; of joy for the great victory that day achieved over the Arch ,ficnd and his hosts; over sin, death and punishment ; efsorrow for the insults and sufrerings borne by the Christ for our sake. His teachings, tso, must not be forgotten, and Monday next should find the '0Eris,ian people of Arizona prepared to say

 With these few remarks, the MINER wishes all yea even Vincent Colyer and the editors Of the Sacramento CHioa, Merry Christmas

 The. murderer of Vim. Wilson had not been detected. One John Mcdonald had been arrested, on suspicion, but an exsmina- ton had before Justice Kelley, failed 10 fas- ten anything looking like guilt upon MeDon- aid, and he was accordingly turned loose.
 Clarence Gray, lawyer, formerly of Santa Barbara, Cal, had taken up his abode at Arizona City.
 Tine attorneys of wm. Gertrude, recently convicted of murder and sentenced to be hanged on the 2oth inst, have applied 10 U. s. Commissioner J. W. Darlington for leave to file motion for new trial. Leave was grnnt- sd, but it is not in the nature of things that Gertrude will be tried twice !or the same of- fensc.
 The Colorado Steamship Company's ocean steamer Nerrbsrae arrived at San Francisco November lstb, and is, ere this, beck as the meath of the river.
 Revs. Mekean and Groves had arrived and preached at the courthouse.
 "Two-borse vehicies;" that is, VIC pre- sume, vehicles drawn, each, by two horses, are now in vogue on the stage road between San Diego and Tucson. Passengers would prefer to travel behind four horses.
 Mr. Flnlay, the able and gentlemanly ayen. oi the Steam Navigation Company had throws up bis Supervisorship, and the yaean. ey had been filed by appointment of John Duff, of Ehrenberg.

The Death Penalty.

Unless something should turn up between now and the Both inst, to save the lives of Vim. Gertrude and the Indian recently con rseted of murder and sentenced to be hanged at Arizona City, Yuma county, on the 29th inst, the galows will have done the first Ie- gal acts ever required of it in this Territory. We saw both the condemned recently. and they seemed resigned to their fate. The In- dian, we were told, wanted to be hanged irp- mediately after sentence had been passed upon him.

Surely, our pure and simple motives; our past suffering, and the unholy motives of our prosecutors and naligners, are getting to be properly under stood by all honest men and journals at the East, yea, even by President Grant and his Cabinet, who have had the boldne.s, hon esty and manliness to inaugurate policy so different from that recommended by Colyer and his gang of plunderers.

The Removal of senator sumner.

The Boston idreriiscr. in commenting on
the removal of Senator S1,nner, says:
Whatever loss OF sympathy he may have
sustained by his extreme course on the San
Domingo inquiry. would be douhlv restored
to him by all who believe in fair and open
warfare even with an enemy. Nor do we
believe the country would sustain the at
tempt to prejudice the San Domingo ques-
ton. or any other seriously affecting our
relations with foreign countries. by packing
committees in advance solely or mainly with
reference to them Much as we have diff
1ered from Mr.. Sumner, and unjust as he is
in his Intolerance of dissent, We believe the
country is with him on the question OF an
nexing any Of the tropical islands while
their governments can not maintain them
selves. except under the shadow o. our war
ships. and the people have no means OF eX-
pressing their free choice: and though there
NAV be some qualification in fastening
personal slight upon Mr. SIlmner. we do not
think that when the issue is fairly made up
the fact that Mr.. Cameron speaks for the
foreign committee. and Nv Sumner simply
as the Senator from Massachusetts. will
materially alter the result.
The New York Globe says:
The press of this city expresses itself
very emplaticaly on the removal OF Mr.
Sumner The Tribune processes to look up
on 1t as personal uldtlti- dHu Plolo'h''it
regrets that it was thought necessary 10
heap this indignity upon Mr. Sumner. The
World says this personal triumph OF the
President is the death-knell Of the Repnb-
lican party. The SIN predicts that tins
treat wrong to Mr.. Sumner will put an end
to the public career OF General Grant on
the fourth of March. 1874. The Demoerat
predicts that the fall Of Sumner Will draS
down General Grant and the Repnbiicah
party. The Times has no editorial com
ments to make. but its correspondence from
Washington is fall of bitterness against
Mr.. Sumner. whom it accuses OF open nos

to demand his Impeachment. We are tod
his conduct and language deserved rebuke
last December; that he has been lnsn M,tnlS
and disrespectfnl to the President. These
evnressions in the Times should be received
with all due allowance. since it is known
that paper is run in the Interests OF the tn e
English commissioners. The HerGia re sards
