The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1872-12-18


This week letter was received at Bethle-
hem Pa, post-marked Nottingham, England
and addressed to Bethlehem, near Jerusa-
lem, Pennsylvania, United States" This
incident calls to mind the fact that in early
years, the Moravian settlers of that part of
Pennsylvania laid out the country oil the plan
of Judea, in the Holy Land and gaze the
towns, according to their locations cores
ponding names. Allentown was called Jerusa-
lem and is the only place in the original settle
mcnt that has changed its name--Emaus
(minus an my, Bethlehem and Nazareth, re-
tanning their first appellations. The writer
of the above letter must have had at hand
when the direction was superscribed the first
published map of old Northampton county.

The Overland.

The Ousrland for June, which has just come to hand, is an excellent number. Its contents are [" Sheep Farming in California ; "What Was It ?" "Kodiak and Southern Alaska" "Tbe Netherland Mettray;" "lt Occurred at Tucson" "An American Art |: The Electrotype;" "The Northern Califor- nia Indians "-No. III; Patty Dree, School marm;" "Pavy's Expedition to the North Pole :" "Woven Threads on Goodness ," sThe Omens;" "Etc;" with the poems of Ever Present :" "A Vanished Hope" and |" A Parable of Nature" With the present number, the eighth volume of this successful macazine closes. Its contents are always chaste, as we'll as entertaining, and its popu- larity is deservedly increasing, not only upon the Pacific Coast, but in the East. It is a faithful advocate of the interests of the entire Coast and is welcome visitor in every household.
 The paper, "It Occurred at Tucson" may have some truth for its ground work, but, from what we know of the persons alluded to- the author has drawn heavily upon his or her imagination.

Story" about Gen. Howard.

Many of the California papers brought to the Territory by a recent mail have the fol lowing, all to themselves:
 Los ANGELES, May 22d.-From Arizona we learn that General Howard IS offering re- wards to citizens for the capture of Indians who left the camp on Date Creek without the permission of officers in command. General Crook, with eight companies of cavalry and four pack trains, is ready to march, and is waiting orders from headquarters at Wash ington before commencing an active campaign against the Apaches.
 The Indians have driven of all the stock in the Walnut Grove District.
 We think we can trace the foregoing canard about Generals H. and C., to blink ing, booby newspaper of Los Angeles, whose conductors are painfully impotent as newspa- per men or tellers of the truth. And, as the stock was driven from Bradshaw District, the whole article falls to pieces, as shoddy of the wprst sort.

Insufficient Mail Service.

The lack of mail facilities in Northern Ari aona is a continual source of annoyance tc the white citizens thereof. X semi weekly mail to California is not sufficient to meet the increased demand of the people depen- dent upon it; nor will weekly mail to and from New Mexico satisfy any body here or in New Mexico, and the contractor will soon learn, to his cost, that he cannot, with profit, carry all the mail matter that will be oiieref. What we want and must have, is ma service fton Prescott to California, nia Williamson Valley, Camp Hualpai. Fort Rock, Camp Beale Springs. the Wallapai Mining District, Ilardyyile and Fort Mnhave, at least once a week, in addition to the service now perform cd by MT. Grant, on tho Ehrenburg route. With this, and a semi weekly to Albuquerque, New Mexico; semi-weekly to PhGnix, Mar icopa Wells, Florence and Tucson weekly to Walnut Grove, Bradshaw, and some other points in this vlcininy, we would be pretty we'll served, and citizens and military need not grumble as they now do, at 'ne present insufficient mail service.
 But, as we have been neglected ID the past by Congress and the present Postmaster ueh eral, we do not hope for much from rither
 Speaking of the route hence to New Mex leo, the Albuquerque Reoie", ot a recent date, expresses its feelings in this wise:
 "To our friends in Prescott we send greet ino and hope before long to have the pleas me of seeing some of their genial faces ir Albuouerquc. The people of New Mexico will then have another tie to bind them mort closely with those of Arizona. The great benefit to both Territories, this mail route properly conducted will be, can not now be guessed at, but one thing is certain, Albu querque and Prescott are bound to be the great business pla'es of both Territories The completion of the Atlantic and Pacii' railroad is all that is now lacking to fill oul cup of happiness"
 That is all. But you will find that more than weekly mail service will be required long before said road is completed.
 The route in question, Qrom Prescott, Ari zona. to Albuquerque, New Mexico.) is mum Der 7,2lI about 100 miles iu length; passes through considerable pine timber, over sever al rivers and some mountainous country; i little dangerous on account of Indians climate cool ard bracing, with plenty O water and grass on most all of the distance Service to commence July l, 1872; one tril per week. Leaves Prescott Mondays at o'clock 4. M.: arrive at Albuquerque Satu, day by 6 o'clock p.N.; leaves Albuquerqu Monday and arrives in Prescott Saturda, Don't know, as yet, whether it will be carrie on horseback or in a blackboard, or wbetl CT it will come by Camp Verde, or chin Valley.

THE POLITICAL SITUATION.

The labors of the Cincinnati Convention have resulted, as all know, in the nomination of Horace Greeley, for President, and B. Gratz Brown, for Vice President, on plat form, every plank of which is made oi sound North American timber. The Philadelphia Convention met on last Wednesday, and, VIC guess, nominated U. S. Grant, for Pres ident, and Henry Wilson, of Mas sachusetts, for Vice President. The Democratic Convention will assemble on the 9th of July, and resolve to endorse Gree ley and Brown, when the issue will be fairly made. the fight commenced and carried on until the glad news that the candidates of the New Democratic Party have been elected by an astounding majority; that justice, peace and brotherly love will, once again, be inaugurated in America; that theiying car pet-baggers must cease plundering the people at the South, and that savage Indians will not be shielded from punishment, for crimes committed upon American citizens. The fierce passions engendered by the late war; which have been fed to good purpose for foul objects will be allayed; the "Ship of State, will glide smoothly alongS civil law will again take its place over the usurping martial code; and entire satisfaction will be given the country so long as the honest spirit of the political revolution now dominant in the minds of the good men of every party, shall be adhered to.
 The foregoing was in type last week. By it our readers will see that our guess regard ing the action of the Philadelphia Convention was correct. Americans can now consider athe gamc made," with Horace Greeley as winner. The Southern people are filled with enthusiasm, for the plain, patriotic old ph'l- osophcr, who dodges no question and has no private family axes to grind. In his hands, the destinies of our country will be safe England will not be permitted to bully us nor will the Apaches be allowed to scalp and rob us at will. Hurrah for Greeley!

The Treaty of Washington.

The over-reaching effort--Treaty of Wash ington-appears to have no friends upon either side of the water. A late London dispatch informs us that "The British Gov ernment considers that the negotiations with the American Government in regard to the treaty of Washington have failed, and will inform Parliament that it will withdraw from the Geneva Conference"
 The leading papers of New York, and oth- CT large cities denounce the action of our own Government in taking stand from which it has been driven by British buster, if not by British gold.

MINES AND MINING.
Miners and prospectors are we'll ple'

Miners and prospectors are we'll pleased with the new mining law of Congress, the language of which is plain, liberal and to the point. Under it some individuals have al- ready located 1900 feet fora claim. and we believe the law grants any citizen finder ot ledge the right to locate claim of this size. Then the mode of securing patent is simpli- fled and demand for patents will spring up as soon as our poor miners and prospect ors recover from losses inflicted upon them by Apaches.
 c. B. Genung has assured us that 1900 pounds of rock, recently crushed in an aras- tra by some men on Antelope Creek, yielded S12O; another run of IS days gave yield of $4OO.
 Delving in our mines of gold and silver is going on. The Vulture is being operated upon with the usual success. So is the IT. ger. Benton, Del Pasco and other famous mines. Water is scarce at the Del Pasco, Il gold is not. The last run paid very we'll. The Benjamin is yielding magnificent sll- yer ore. Hopes arc entertained that a mill will soon be erected near it.
 The letters which we publish tell Of mines and mining in Mohave county, where pros poets are looking very bright.
 Should the Apaches not grow any worse than they have been, it is thought that min ing will be more actively pursued, in this sec tion, the coming fall, than ever before.
