WE have positive knowledge that Captain A. B. McGowan, Twelfth h. fantry, commanding Fort Yuma, is the person who gave the editor of The Sentinel the garbled and imperfect letter of the Surveyor General. The Captain may think that he is gen. tleman, that he Is not somewhat of kin to forgers, and many other things which an intelligent public will have opinions upon without regard to his weak and cheeky attempt to gloss over his, to say the least, ill-bred work. We'll let this matter rest till the boss" gets back.
 AS we before stated the editor of The Sentinel is guiltless of any wrong in the matter, and has very fairly set the matter right.

THE DAWN.

ETOLu Cue IIaSI, " eSG auu OOuCu, we
 have news of railroad enterprise o1
 the greatest promise for Arizona. The
 day is not yet, but the dawn is nigh
 and those who have struggled through
 the dark night of our Territory, light
 ed only by the lurid glare of burning
 homes and the rife flash of the hidden
 savage may lift their eyes with hope.
 The past winter has shown most con-
 clusively the failure of the Central
 and Union Pacific as national high
 way. A road that cannot be depend
 ed upon every day in the year will not answer for transcontinental con-
 merce. The business of a great na- tion is like the course of river an obstruction for ever so short period is attended with proportionate disaster.
 The past winter has demonstrated the necessity of a road below the snow
 line and the Texas Pacific Is an es- tablished fact. The iron horse will soon annihilate the long reaches of of our sandy plains and awaken the thousand echos of our mountains and cahons. Men are apt to boast and exaggerate on railroad subjects, but if the people of Arizona can find one ray of hope on which to congratulate themselves, no one can blame them for making the most of 1t, for their whole past has been but 8 constant struggle with the most untoward sur roundings. The wealth of this Terri tory is in its great mineral resources and grazing facilities; the bars to the development of this wealth have been difficulty and expense of trans portation and savage relentless foe. But while railroads will enable us to develope our mineral resources, they will quietly, yet effectually settle our Indian difficulties, and our valleys shall yet teem with the lowing herd, and the shephered shall watch his flock with none to molest Our Ter ritory has been belied at home and abroad; men who should have been its friends, who came here and made more money in three or four years than they could elsewhere in life time, have gathered up their gains and, with the bitterest ingratitude, heaped upon the Territory slander and revil- ing. But there are men in Arizona, and men who know whereon they base their hopes, who look patiently and trustingly forward to the day in which they can point exultingly to her developed resources, when Arizona has taken her place as the great mineral State of the nation. It is to these, the honest steadfast friends of the Terri tory, we speak and congratulate on the near approach of day.
