A DAILY MAIL.

desiriOus of having daily mall service and we think we deserve if and that it is reasonable to ask it. There are two very important routes running through the Ter .ritory, on which it is extremely necessary that such service should he had. One of them is the great overland route from San Diego to the Rio Grande, and the other the route from San Bernardino via Prescott to Santa Fe. The late Legislative Assembly passed the following memorial, which we hope will receive the favora- bIe attention of the Hon. Post master General
 To the Postmaster General 0f the
 United tSt0tes reJGtiUe to tue MdiI
 service 61 ArizOn0.
 Your memorialists, the Legis- lative Assembly of the Territory of Arizona, respectfully represent to you the great importance of | the mail route from San Diego, California, via Tucson, Arizona, to Mesilla, New Mexico, and of the mail route from San Bernardino, California, via Prescott, Arizona, to Santa Fe, New Mexico {; and believing that they are the most important mail routes in this Ter ritOry by which the whole of the Territory, including the military posts, and the United States army therein are supplied with their mails, and that the present mail service on said routes is lnade- quate to the fast growing wants of the Territory; and that the Ter ritory of Arizona has less mail Ia cilities than any other of the Ter ritories, there being now no daily mail service within the Territory and believing further that con. tinued and daily mail service and communication through new Ter ritOries exerts civilizing infiu- ence upon wild and nomadic tribes, and tends to the more ra- pid development of the great mineral and other productive in- terests of the country; we there fore earnestly ask your favorable consideration of this our memo rial, and for the reasons above set forth, to place upon the foregoing mentioned mail routes, a daily mail at as an early a day as prac- ticable.
 And be it resolved by the Leg islative Assembly of the Territory of Arizona, and to promote the object of this memorial, the Se- eretary of the Territory is hereby requested to forwith transmit a copy of the same to the POstmas- ter General and also to our Dele gate i'll Congress.
 Governor Stafford has approved
 the above memorial. and when
 we consider the great interests
 that would be accommodated and fostered by the service asked-in- terests not only to the people along these routes, but of the whole Territory, and we might say the whole United States-we cannot doubt but that the Hon. Postmaster. General will give 9 favorable response to the memo
 rial. There is daily service tC
 San Diego on the Western end ot this route and to Mesilla on the
 East. With important and grow
 ing towns and settlements scat : tered along the route, with ra
 pidly increasing farming popula' tion, with rich and extensive mines now being worked anC
 more beirg discovered and locat
 ed almost daily, it would seen that no more arguments would be
 needed to show the importance o-
 a daily service. But add to al
 this the importance to the Gov
 ernment itself, of a daily mail tC supply the large number of mili tary posts and Indian agencies
 who depend on this route for theil , mails, and it would seem that the aggregate of argument is irresis' . tible in reason.
 : This route passes through 8 l country which has seven military l posts, dependent upon it for theil mails, tOwit Fort Yuma, Camp 5 Mcdowell. Lowell, Grant, Bowie g Bayard and Apache. Of tht 9 towns, the most important now 7 are Yuma, situated on on the east
