Good TempIaFs at Athens.

Yesterday evening at o'clock, a fair
audience had assembled in the University
Chapel to hear what the Good Templars
mad to say. The Athens Silver Cornet
Band was present, cheerful and willing to
render the occasion as pleasant as possible.
Many of the order had on their regalia.
AS a matter of incident, the young
people generally had arranged themselves
in couples. This seemed to be quite
an enjoyable feature.
Our old bachelor friend, j. S. Mathews,
Mayor elect of Athens, was the presiding
officer. Jake looked mighty fine in his
regala.
The Worthy Chaplain, Rev. j. 5. Petty,
opened the exercises with prayer.
The chairman then introduced Prof w.
y. +. Milburn, who discoursed on " The
Evils, Causes aud Cure of Intemperance,"
Tracing its evil effects on the human sys-
tenn he showed how that its demon grasp
had ruined the greatest and wisest AS well
as the humblest in society, none were en-
tirely free from its pernicious tendencies.
When he came to speak of the extent of
this evil he brought such an array of facts
and figures as TO startle and alarm every
auditor. He spoke of Ignorance, the un-
healthy state of public opinion, idleness,
and the influence of young ladies in fash
ionable society, as the more prominent
causes of this great evil.
he showed how that, by fostering intel
Iigenee and common schools, more than in
any other way, we could remove this curse
from the land, His final appeal TO young
women and young men and TO the mem
bers of the order was full of sound logic
and deep pathos.
Prof, Atlees address had been prepared
With his usual care. He spoke on The
Nature and Claims of society,"" giving
a concise view Of the early formation and
history of society. lie showed up the re-
latiOn OF each member of the human fam
lily 20 society at large. From this stand.
point he brought reas IN and common sense
TO demonstrate tho sinfulness and enor,
nifty If iutemporau' iudrigoncies.
Knoxville weekly chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1875, 1873-01-29

He claimed that legislation should take
take hold of this evil and uproot it at
once. The woes and miseries it produced
were so apparent that society demanded
relief from the strong hand of the
law.
As a final appeal he urged every one to
ty and power. This would bring the
greatest good to the largest number.
The music was good and all present
seemed to be well entertained.

Fight with Vasquez's Robbers.

The Los Angeles Euening E.r- press, of the 11th inst, contains an interesting account of an engage ment between Sheriff5 Rowland and Adams and three other men, and several members of the Vas quez's gang of robbers, in Little Rock Creek ca1on, last Monday. At the time the robbers were driven hastily out of their camp, a lively skirmish occurred. The Sheriff's posse captured nineteen horses, pack saddles, trunks, jewelry. watches, and many other valuable articles stolen by the rob- bers on thelr late raid. One of the gang, named Lava, surrendered himselft0 the posse to get revenge upon Vazques, who is alleged to have run off with Lava's wife, San Diego Daily Union.
 These robbers and assassins are coming to Arizona. Fix your selves, boys They're desperate, but there's $6OOo reward offered for them in California.

Mexican Independence Day.

Passed in this wise at Yuma: About 2 A.. M. several Mexicans seated themselves in a wagon, and with music playing and flags flying, they paraded through our streets at that early hour, singing and playing alternately the Mexi- can "Hymno Nacional" and other patriotic airs, until, if we are to judgesby the inharmony of the music, they were doubtless a-weary. Meanwhile " anvils !" were fired, and arms of various kinds touched of. During the day, quite an assemblage collect ed at well known house, which was decorated in the following manner From three standards, on top of the building, feated Prussiar flags; lower down, Mex ican colors were shown; and still below them all, small American flags. @ Stray shots and firecrack. CTS were occasionally heard du- ring the evening, and at night a ball was given in the old jail build. ing.

San Diego and Arizona Military
 Telegraph.

The third construction party of the Arizona telegraph Com- menced work at this place yes terday. The poles wero set on each side of the river between the Fort and the town. On Mon- day next the force will move out of barracks and take the field with forty days rations and neces- sary camp equipage. Camping each day at the end of the line, Capt. Price and MT. Haines wilt next week run a survey from Pilot Knob to Indian Wells, loca- ting the line wholly within U. s. territory. This completed they go to Maricopa Wells and there organize the fourth construction party to work from that point to Tucson via Florence. The line completed to-day from San Diego to Campo, 45 miles by the wire and 55 by the stage road, which is intersected at that place. This location from San Diego toCampo, with the one contemplated, places the line wholly within U. s. ter ritory.
 This place will be connected with San Diego about November 18th; and it is expected the line will be completed hence to Mari copa Wells about the first of next December. The line from Pres- colt will be constructed to Mari copa Wells before that date, and to Tucson by Christmas. Every thing now indicates the comple- tion of the entire line by Decem- Der 18th, which will be a Christ mas day worth remembering by the people of Arizona.

 The Tucson Cjtisen says it lis reported that the Bender family, who committed such extensive murders in Kansas, are in Wes- tern Texas on their way to Arizo. na. Tucson is a good location for them, and upon this hint they had better come. The little un- pleasantness they had in Kansas cal be closed out here by the use of 8 few poles and some rope, in a way that will save them time and trouble and the public of much expense"

The Ball on Thursday Night.

One of the most enjoyable af- fairs that has occurred in Yuma for some time was the ball in the ola jail building. The floor being canvased, and the walls decorated with flags, and the ladies prettily attired, the effect was very strik- ing. The dancing was partici- pated in by nearly all present, and did not cease until long after the midnight refreshments had been served. This reunion of our best citizens, Mexican as we'll as American, was we'll planned and happily executed.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-Re- ports continue to be received of constant invasions of Texas by marauding expeditions from Mex ico. The Claims Commissioners think that the only way that Mexico can pay the aggregate damages asked by citizens of Tex as is by the cession to the United States of the northern States of Mexico.
