ONE HAZEN.

| United States Senate, one Hagen of the United States army, has been spending his leisure time for year or so past in writing down as barren lands, that DOT tion lying west of the tooth meridian and east of the Sierra Nevada noun tains, and between the British Posses sions and Mexico. Inc. country thus condemned, embraces fine western part of Texas, Kansas, Nebraska and Da- kota; all of New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Utah, Nevala, Wyoming, Montana and Idaho; [ eastern DOT tions of Washington, Oregon and Cal ifornia. But e en ! went in to belit- tle and lie abou, ,hcAs~Iry that sus- tains him and he is trying to disgrace, Hagen evidently felt impeled to spread himself without regard to truth or size of Territory.
 This Hagen was educated at the ex- pense of the Treasury of the United States and is now maintained by it. Many fellows are thus favored and never exhibit any gratitude, but it seems left for Hagen to conspicuously show want of truth as well as grati- tude. He says let emigration to these places be emphatically discouraged" ;" What stuff for any person with sense enough to be allowed at large, to seri- ously put forth! Of course Hazen only goes where he is ordered by govern ment and paid for going; but millions of better and more useful people than he, are obliged to produce tleir own living, and many of them are each year going into the condemned section and finding pleasant homes, riches and fine health; building towns and cities with school houses and churches; con- Istructing railways; growing millions of cattle, sheep and other animals :; and yearly taking out of the earth many millions of dollars in gold, silver, copper, and other minerals needed for the happiness and prosperity of the peo- pie east of the tooth meridian and other parts of the world. The value of these products are largely increasing each year, and their necessity to man. kind fact so patent that as big liar as Hazen will probably admit it.
 We have heretofore refe red to this same HaZen MLo sl,eIermined to become famous for sonlslhing. Months ago, he put forth series of letters in The New York Tribune, and the press of the west generally referred to him and the falsehOOds of his letters as il should have done. He has recently re newed his falsehoods in a pamphlet en titled "Our Barren Lands," and The New York Tribune approvingly re views it, while its Colorado correspond ents are writing up that Territory Ca portion of Hazen's worthless region) in the most glowing style to induce heal thy and unhealthy, poor and rich peo pie to go there Probably Hagen pays The Tribune for serving him and the Colorado people pay for a cOunteract ing influence; and possibly Hagen is The Tribune's hired blackmailer of the people in the States and Territories we have enumerated.
 In his pamphlet, this Hazen is said to set forth his extended personal ob servations of the country he condemns but his observations were taken from military posts or trains well supplied with all the necessarie. of life includ ing soldier-servants. Set him down in the forests of Ohio and Indiana or rich prairies of Illinois, fifty years ago, and, had he been able to write, he would have written as falsely of them as he now does of the vast interior of our coun. try; and if not then provided by the government or some other power O1 person, he would have starved to death an event that no one, in the light of the present, could have regretted.
 We have personaTly passed over | (withOut government aiD much of the country from British Columbia to Mex ico, and also of. that lying between the tooth meridian ana the Sierra Nevada mountains, and probably as well un derstand whereof we write as Hagen can. It is very low and despicable bu siness to detract from the merits oi ones country, and doubly low and mean in Hagen educated, fed and con stantly paid, work or play, by his coun try. He must be one of the fellows who will accept the generous hospital ity of a friend, and afterwards find fault with the entertainment.
 GEORGE STONEMAN has planted about 70,000 vines on his charming place near Los Robles this season, all of which present as fOurishing an a pearance as could be desired. He will plant nearly 15,000 more, which will run the number up to 100000, and will occupy pretty much all the available vineyard ground in the beautiful place -[ Los Angeles Star June 29.
