BEN BUTLER.

This gentleman, who already fills n
large place in the public eye, has Won
additional prominence by his perform
ance i'll the Senate on Thursday Oflast
week. l have heard nobody speak of
it who did not regret that Senator
Davis did not smite Butler full in his
oblique optic. Yet this expression
was in most cases qualified by the
after thought that such a punishment,
richly deserved though it might have
been, would have been seized upon by
INSCRIPTIONS manufacturers of public
opinion as an ebullition OF Southern
hate and violence. If only some New
England man had pitched into Ben
and given him a sound thrashing, say
many commentators on the affair. it

members of the press on the state OF

The old gentleman waited upon the

w~hereupon the assassin made at him

The Indian Confederacy-SSzne inter.
estIng Facts.

OF the various tribes which now form
the Indian Confederacy, we give some
interesting particulars taken from recent
correspondence. Their country, directly
south Of Kansas, is $50 miles long, by
268 broad, and embraces sc. 100000
acres. The total population is $4,000
of which the principal tribes furnish the
following quotas :-Cherokaes. COCO
Creeks, 1850; Seminoles, 2,160;
Chocktaws, and Chickasaws, 1900;
It is fact worthy of consideration that
the population Of these tribes has been
steadily on the decrease since the last
two decades. although under the iufu-
ence of considerable degree OF civiliza-
ton. In some tribes the women are in a
great excess. Among all are many ne
groes. With these the CherokeeS will not
amalgamate, though the Creeks do. The
most Of them have good sch ools, and
many belong to the Baptist and Presby-
terrain churches.-They oppose the two
railroads which are to pass through their
Territory, suspecting that they may be
thereby robbed of their lands. The
roads, however. are going forward as
everything undertaken by the white man
will, in spite Of the Indian. Taken all
in all. these tribes are a quiet, law abid-
ing people, seeming to have lost almost
entirely their bloody instincts. A mems
life is much safer than in some parts of
large cities after nightfall.

While burning sands, and barren waste,
In boundless view iisfora,him lay,
How brave his heart, how bright his eye,
He Knows beyond he'll see once more,

A dcar one waiting at the door.
The soldier, on the weary march,
Has one bright thought to cheer him on,
The sailor, III his lonely watch,
One scene he loves to think upon.
They hope to see when safe returned,
The storms of war, and ocean Ger.

No frie rdly hand to clasp in his,
No sympathetic kindly tone:
To greet his ear, at eve returnsi,.
The long days weary labor o'er
No sweet face watching at the window,
A dear one waiting at the door.
Temptation, trial, and sorrow haunt
Our footsteps, on our earthly way,
Srren voices, silver toned,
Lead our too willing hearts astray
Butssoon we turn us back again,
Yielding to the magic power

A dear Ole waiting at tie door.
Then give TO me where e'er 1 roam,
Beneath a bright, or cloudy sky;
When dark misfortune stops the way,
And summer friends shall gassm by,

FARMING, GARDENING. WEATHER,

Owing 10 the dryncsS of the winter just passed, the great bulk of the agricultural land in the immediate vicinity of Prescott is in poor plight for blowing and planting, and VIC arc safe in saying that, should it not rnin or snow heavily. this month, ar early in the the next, but little farming will be attempted this year, on "dry ranches" And, it IS now almost too late in the season to hope for much rain. Of course, wherever there Is land sufficiently moist Co sustain plants until the July rains set in, it will be planted and cultivated but. unfortunately, there IS not any great amount of such land in this mmc diate vicinity, and no wonder there is not, after the country has passed through three dry years.
 During the past ten days, considerable rain and snow have fallen upon 'hc mountain ranges and valleys 10 the north and north east of Us, but our rangc-Nierra Prie,a-and its foot.hill valleys have been sighted; fact which makes us feel quite jealous.
 We have had "every indication "- clouded sky and soft, balmy southern brcezes-but barely enough rain and snow to wet the ground abou, an inch, while Chino valley and portion of Woolsey valley, have been deluged. As we write, the chances are ia yorablc for rain, and We shall not complain yet, awhile.
 Wherever there is water ,o irrigate, as, for Ia. I. of the Verde, Beaver, Salt, Gila, san Pedro, santa Cruz, Colorado, and other rivers, i'm mense crops of grain and vegetables will be raised-enough, We think, to supply tue people of the entire Territory, ,--unless, in deed. the Railroad companies should throw in several thousand railroad buiders,--a thing they are quite likely 10 do,-when, of course. there would certainly come scarcity. as government is in the market for large quantities of grain and hay, and as we may reasonably look for large influx of miners and prospectors.
 | Such being likely to be the case the pres ent outlook for tue farmers 0. the Territory
 is exceedingly encouraging, sufficiently so, we hope, to stimulate them to plant and raise all they can. We hope, also, that this fair prospect for making money, by tilling the soil, will induce farmers 10 come here | from California, Nevada, Oregon, and ,he Eastern States; and, further, that it will cause people living near Prescott to pay due attention to every moist acre of land in this vicinity, and plant il with corn, potatoes, or some other ''crop" for which there is sure to | be demand.

While upon this subject, we must say that the Germans of the United States, have been exceedingly moderate in tone over the grea, victories of their fellow country men in Europe, fact which speaks well for the well-poised nature of the German people, and their coolness, under all circumstances. So far as we have heard, they have Tot de- parted from the even tenor of their way. to crow over or insult any son of luckle.s France.

AssEssiSG.-The Territorial and county assessors are now roaming at large, assessing real and personal property, preparatory to making owners thereof pungle their quota of taxes for Territorial and county purposes. Our Sheriff, J. II.

 Col. Bigelow, Assessor of Internal Reve. nue, Department of Arizona, has his deputies in the field, too, paying attention to the wealthier classes, so that there is no escaping the tax-gatherers. Even the poores, among us must pay poll-tax.
