YUMA ITEMS.

The following items are from the Arizona Sentinel of August Dist:
 About o'clock last Sunday morning the Territorial prisoners in Yuma jail made break for liberty. Hall the murderer con- victed at Tucson, and sentenced to impris- onment for life, and Lopez, awaiting the ac tion of the grand jury for murder, succeeded in getting away. Cannon, convicted at Prescott ofmurder in the second degree and sentenced to serve 3l years, was caught in the act of escaping, and returned to his cell Sheriff Werninger, Guard Brown and L. A. Smith were soon in their saddles in pursuit of the fugitives. l.. 4. Smith caught Hall among the hills, about three miles from town, making his way toward Sonora. He was safely returned to prison and double ironed. We think that is his last escape if iron and vigilance can hold him. It will be remembered that this Is the same Hall who broke jail in Tucson and fled to Sonora with two other cJnvicts. He was recap tuTed and brought back to Tucson. for which the Governor paid reward of $500. Extra care and vigilance will now be used to pre- vent any more escapes from Yuma jail. As to Lopez, he has not been rccaptured nor is it likely he will be. for the Mexicans always aid and assist and hide away fugi- tives from justice, of their own race.
 John lIovey, wagon-master of Goldberg's train, en route from Yuma to Tucson, while in camp few nights ago at Gila Bend, was bitten by a rattleSnake, which crawled into his bed while he was asleep. Fortunately NIT. Hovey had q supply of whisky along, which is the great antidote for snake bites, on the principle that one poison counteracts another. John drank four bottles of whisky before he felt any intoxicating effect, and the fifth bottle completed the cure of the bite. Here Is warning to all men travel ling these roads in summer time. If John Eovey had not been provided with the whisky aforesaid he would have been dead man. We never travel either on the road. river or sea without carrying some of the article with us, to be used in case of snake bite. Ne man knoweth when tie snake bite cometh.
 T. D. Lockwood returned to his newly discovered mine on Picacho moutain, few days since. He is in great heart, and says he would not give his mine for anything he ever saw.

LETTER FROM GEN. KAUTz.
HEADQUARTERS DEPT. OF ARIZONA, ,

V
 PRESCOTT, A. T., Sept. l, 1875. EDITOR MISER:-In compliance with your request, will give you few observations made by me in my recent visit to the Peck mine. With Mr. Bean as guide, we were able to take shorter and more agee able route to the new mines. As before, We went to Big Bug the first evening, and early in the afternoon of the second day reached the camp at the Peck mine. I was little dis appointed to find no greater development of this rich lead, but on reflection, perhaps my expectations were too great. Only about ten tons of first-class ore have been taken out. and about twice as much of lower grade. But as roads had to be made and material to be supplied, perhaps more could not be ac- compished with the limited means of the proprietors. Whilst the vein has not in creased in size, it has not diminished either Tn the size of the vein or character of the ore, and several shafts, ten or twelve feet in depth, at points for several hundred feet along the lode show the same character and quantity of ore as in the discovery shaft.
 I have, however, had my confidence great ly increased in the extent and richness of the belt and have no doubt that many more discoveries will be made. We visited the principal discoveries made since my last yis it. The Silver Prince gives as fair pros pect on the surface as did the Peck. This, with the Evening Star and other discoveries. show that the belt Is extensive, and inteli- gent prospecting will soon lead to numerous other discoveries.
 But for the want of good roads for trans porting the necessary materials, some time must elapse before the region will become the populous mining camp that it is destined 10 be- AUGUST Y. kAUTZ,

Nor Coop MovE-The commander of the post at Camp Bowie reports 2OO White Mountain Apaches, supposed to have been removed to San Carlos recently, now prowl- ing in that vicinity, and that the Chiricahuas are running in from the mountains to their agency for protection, being afraid of the Apaches. It is evident, even to a greenhorn, that there is too much moving going on among the Indians and that they are restless and dissatisfied with it. Should .orbearance cease to be virtue with them, by and by, and cause them to rebel again, it will have proven costly experiment to see how much nonsense they would stand.

SYMPATHY.

One Of the most beautiful of all the graces
 is mercy Crittenden, in the Matt Ward
 case, struck sympathetic cord in the hu-
 man heart when he drew picture of Justice,
 Truth and Mercy standing about the Throne
 of Deity. when in his infinite wisdom he
 conceived the thought of mans creation.
 "Make him not" said Justice, ''he will
 wrong his fellows and disgrace the power
 that created him. "Do not make man"
 exclaimed truth, '.he will pervert thy sanctu-
 ary; ;n but Mercy, dropping upon her pended
 knees aud looking up through her tears, said,
 "Makc man; will watch over him and pro
 tect him" Then God made man, in His own
 image, and said, ''thou art the child of Mer- cy." For those who, in the thoughtlesSness of youth, in the heat of passion, Tn retaliia-
 tion for some great wrong or under stress of undue excitement commit crime, the good
 offices of Mercy seem peculiarly requisite,
 and to such cases happily adapted. But,
 when man has arrived at that time of life
 when, if honesty as principle is ever to be- come fixed as q part of lis existence It should be fully developed, deliberately and with no incentive other than greed of gain, betrays an important trust, at the expense not only of his own conscience, if he has any, but of his friends who have trusted and vouched for him; and digraced those who have placed Lim in positions of honor, trust and profit, as well as those who have confer red upon him fayors and honors that money cannot buy nor position maintain: 1t seems waste of sympathy to seek excuses or try to paliate his offences. 'I can understand,h said Gov. Stanford, ''how a good man may kill another, but cannot understand how good man can steal cattle" When a man steals cattle he is not supposed to be under the influence of passion, but to go about 1t deliberately and with calculation. So when a man robs poStotlice with a view to leay
 ing his bondsmen to make good his defaica- ton, it is not the result of any ebulition of passion, tut a cool calculation that he knows will, in some cases at least, involve the ma ior portion of the accumulations of life time with those who have become security for the honest performance of his duty. But, we are told, he has brought back six thousand dollars which, with eight hundred dollars of salary still due him, will nearly settle his accounts and hold his bondsmen harmless. Suppose it does pay every cent of it; it is strange logic to give him credit for it's return, when 1t was taken from him by the officers who brought it and him back, when he was more than two hundred miles away trying to escape out of the country with it. Still, with all these plain facts standing out in such bold relief that there can be no mistake about them, we would not insist on an undue punishment, and if, when the trial comes in October, there can be any cxtenuating circumstances shown, we shall be most happy to recognize them and swift to proclaim them to the world.

international Postal reciprocity.


Some twenty-four years ago, while the pres
ent editor of the GAZETTE was postmaster gen
eral of this kingdom, he suggested a uniform
international postage of ten cents on single
letters sent between foreign countries. The
suggestion was altogether ahead of the times,
and considered wholly impracticable. We
were then paying forty cents on single letters
to or from the United States, and ftoezty.tfvs
cents additional on European letters-govern-
ments in those days acting on the principle
that the higher the postage, the larger the in
comet Rowland Hill most efectually explo-
ded that theory when he persuaded Parlia-
ment to establish penny postage in England,
and from that time the British post-ofice be-
came a source of revenue, now producing from
FIVE to eight millions of dollars annually over
its cost This was the first era of enlightened
postal legislation
Some ten years ago, new postal convention
was made between the United States and Eng
land, by which the uniform rate of six cents,
prepaid on all single letters mailed in each
country, insures them to their destination, with
out further charge. This was brought about
by the determined efforts Of Mr.. Blackfan, the
efficient foreign assistant postmaster general
at Washington, to whom the British and Amer
ican public are indebted for many reforms in
postal matters. This marked the second era
in postal legislation, and it was soon after in
corporated in the Hawaiian postal treaty with
America. Its Recommendation is that it does
away with all international accounts-each
country retaining all the hostages collected
within her own borders.
During the past summer, there has been held
in Europe an international postal convention,

Australian Trees.

The Brisbane QueensIander, (Which by the
bye, is one of the best papers that reach us
from Australasia, and possesses the vigor of a
truly live journal), gives, in late number, a
list of what are there considered the best
Australian trees for cultivation, which we in
sert for the benefit of our agriculturists:
The Gums.-Bue Eucalyptus botryoides), dia-
meter 80 to - inches; height 40 TO $50 feet Wood
used where hardness, toughness, and durability
red and gray gums are much used for fencing, build
ing and plough beams. The spotted gum is used
by snip builders aud wheelwrights.
Iron bark Eucalyptus sidsTophloid) grows all
over the open country; diameter, 20 10 30 inches;
height 60 TO so feet With a rough, furrOwed bark;
the hard timber makes good sleepers and bridges.
The red mahogany, blOodWood, yellow box aud tuF-
penine trees, varieties OF the eucalyptus. The
fuTpentiue tree is hard, durable, and difficult to
burn; the yellow box is very tough.
Black-butt (EHcdlypts Dil,aaris) grows on ridges;
diameter, "a TO 40 inches height, so to so feet A
valuable timber for building.
Siriugy Bark (EHeulgpiHs j75rosa) diameter, Is to
"a inches height, 40 10 90 feet. Timber much used
for flooring and fencing; but is inclined TO shrink
and warp. The Moreton Bay Ash, one of the Eu-
caiypti, has brownish, hard wood. The bark OF
the lower part Of the trunk splits into angular
pieces, though elsewhere ii fall 10 thin sheets.
Iron Wood (RsterodeadrOa diUerxiJoiius) grows
in scrubs; diameter TO inches; height, 10 to Is
feet Useful for pick handles shafts, etc, from its
toughness
Tulip Wood (HaTPullia peadnlal, diameter, Il to

:. Church Systems among Hawai-
Ians."

Mr. EDrroR The article which appeared In the
GAZETTE, Of December 10, on the above subject,
commended itself TO the thoughtful and observing
among your readers by its calm and respectful utter
ance Of truths which are cognIzant to every inteii
gent mae on the Islands, aud most Of all BY rs ey
dent earnest desire that something NAV be done for
the conservation Of our religious Institutions saeh
an article, one would suppose might have been an
swered with equal calmness and dignity In the Ian
guage and style OF one who evidently had the best
interests Of Chrsts cause at heart but perhaps di
fered with to the means to be employed. Instead
of thIs what do we see in the columns OF the 1duT
tssrl letter apparently dictated BY a spirit Of
intolerance, and brstling with acrimOny and vitupe
ration In debate It is generally the who feels
the weakness Of bis position who loses his temper,
and substitutes invectve for argument Statistics
are very good far they and yet under certain
circumstances they may be totally unreliable. As
an illustration let me suppose q case: A church
somewhere admits to its membership all applicants
without much reference TO moral character, and
some Of the church members indulge In some Of the
most heinous offences specified in the deeaiogue,
for which perhaps the pastor desires to bring them
to Judgment, but In vain on account Of the debased
moral sentiment of the church. The report Of such
a church would show increasing membership, no
cases of discipline, and probably generous amount
of money contributed for the heather, but what
would be its real valuep
Who are the true friends of this peoplel Those
who see danger ahead, and would fearlessly and
honestly seek for TO avert Il; or those who,
with the roar of the mighty cataract sounding In
their ears can smile and say Ego on you have
been going, there is no impending destruction"
doubt not the Hawaiian churches are ready enough
to pray, without being instigated to IT, GOOD Lord
deliver us from those friends who would have US
more moral, aud yirtuOus, aud In better state Of
discipline, for OF Lord, We much prefer the other
kind, who extol our goodness aud unable to see
our darling vices" c.s.
