4 Sad Scene.

For man to become a lover of liquor and yield to his desire is a great evil, but when woman so far forgets her sex and the high moral standing she should occupy, and stoop to strong drink, it is terrible indeed. Yesterday, in the City Prison, we witnessed a sight which, although of frequent occurrence III that place, never struck us as forcibly before. Four officers carried in a woman who was in state of beastly intoXica- ton, and who, when laid on the hard asphaltum pavement, was unable to move. She C, uld not have been more than twenty three or twenty-four years of age, and as she lay there, a picture of the most abject wretchedness and disgrace, the question was invo- luntarily asked, what has caused so great a degradation? Was she once a pure, good and innocent girl; now an outcast, and thus driven to drink to drown the thoughts of the past, or had she been lowered in life and Gebased in nature from q diseased appetite for intoXicati0no-LS.

Suicide by Starvation.

Bradley Grant, aged 42 years, a
 wealthy farmer, who lived three miles west of this city, says the New York Sun, died yesterday. He bad deliberately starved him. self to death, and no motive can be assigned for the suicidal act. During all this interval he had not taken three ounces of any kind of food. On January 10, the first day of his long death fast, he eat part of an egg beaten up with a little milk. Of this he only sip ped two teaspoonfulls. His next meal was taken fifteen days after wards, and consisted of half a cup of tea and piece of toast about the size of mans three fingers. Then he went without food for twenty days. His last meal con- sisted of one ounce of toast, which he was induced to swallow on the 18th inst. A few days before he died, two teaspoonfulls of brandy and water were forced down his throat. This sums up all the food that passed into his stomach dur ing the six weeks. His wife and family have watched him night and day to see if he would not visit the pantry in their absence and eat something. But ne never went, and the food was never dis turbed. It is believed that Mr. Grant was suffering from mental Arrangement superinduced by OverWOrk. He was never known to have had any family difficulty. The farm buildings were all in excellent condition, and the farm we'll stocked. He leaves d wife and three-months old child. His body was reduced to skeleton.

this Company cannot complete
 the line within the limited time,
 there are others who can. Our commerce is in jeopardy, and the United States cannot allow it to go as our shipping tlade did.
 In Arizona we are ou the outer edge of civilization, face to face With the most impIacable and un- relenting savageS-the treacher- ous and cOwardly Apaches; cow ardly because Of the frequent mur- ders of tender mothers and innO- cent babes committed by these fiendS. For years the people of our Territory have been longing for the time to come when it would be safe to prospect the country and open to the world one of the rich est mineral countries on the globe; they appealed to the Gov ernment for protection, time and time again, and the world knows with what result. The hope of Arizona now lies on the railroad. Give us the railroad, and emigra- tiOn will naturally take its course in our direction, the attention of the world will be turned to our mines, and, together with the shrill whistle of the locomotive through our mountains, will at least have a tendency to cause the wild savages and the Govern meRt Peace Commissioners to seek employment elsewhere.
 We are delighted wi ;h the con- duct of the Representatives of the Pacific coast in opposing the ex- tension of time asked for, and to our worthy Delegate. R. c. Me Cormlck, who is never absent from his post, doing battle and scatter ing to the winds the garbage heaped on the bleeding wounds of his constituency, the hardy sons of Arizona are particularly indebted.

Cur Railroad Prospects.

March 18th, from prominent men there, say that Mr. Scott is en- phaticalIy in favor of beginning the great work of constructing the Texas Pacific Railroad at this point. A dispatch from MT. Hor- ton, who is now in Washington, looking to the interest of San 1ego, dated April 11th, goes to show that the extension of time demanded by the Company will not be granted, and says that work will be commenced immediately. The great motive of Mir. Scott for commencing operations at this parti :ular place is evident to all acquainted with the shipping ia ciIitieS of this port. The Company iS determined to complete this route as early as possible. and this is the only point on the line that affords the advantage of construct ing the road in opposite direc- uss to its final ends.
 Etance of securing to
 EeopIeA railroad communica- yil between the Atlantic and Pa 1 cifc oceans-one that will be open . to travel at all Seasons-has be- come a national necessity. The Aacti0n of Congress, in its liberal policy, granting to the Union and jentral Pacific Railroad Compa- Tes vast subsidies of lands and Oneys, might have been excus-

TIE NAVAL STORES TRADE DRIFTING
TO CHARLESTON.

A correspondent Of the Columbia Carollnian
writes from Wilmington, N. c.:
Ichabod Is written above the once chief
naval stores depot OF America. The ancient
pines are well nigh through contributing their
quota to the wealth and resources Of the Old
North State. They have spent their vital
uices for us till soon they shall be no longer.
A friend who has travelled across the whole
country Interying the Peedee and Cape Fear,
tells me there are no sound trees in that
region They have been boxed and rebo4ed till
they are ''done for" What Wilmington once
was in point OF naval stores Importance Charles
ton soon will be. South Carolina hitherto has
suffered this mine OF prosperity to remain COM
.paratively unexplored. Now she is going into
the business largely. On the road travelled
wv. C. & A. R. R,) there are five dlstDlerles
between Sumter and Florence. By-and.by.
the number will be tenfold greater, possibly.
You see now that the peop'e OF this State
are entering into the turpentlne enterprise.
They find transportation as cheap from Flor
ence to Charleston, as from the former place
to Wilmington, and, for local and other rea-
sons, they select Charleston as the depository
of their product. Two houses have been
opened ln this place recently In the Interest
of this trade. Ships which formerly came
over from Liverpool to Wilmington ior thelr
spirit and rosin. will ere long vary their line
In the direction OF Charleston. Thus one
rIseS and another falls.
