The Sonora BushwhackInK.

We have heretofore spoken of a rev olutiOn or war in Sonora, but it has not been worthy of any better name than bushwhacking-a term we'll un derstood throughout the United States Such thing as a war battle, has not been fought There have been some killing and much plundering without any points worthy of note gained by either side, unless it may be regarded sspecies of victory for the Governor of Sonora to hold his place with about as much firmness as did his predecessor. The whole business is disgraceful and ought not to receive the encouragement in Tucson that we are now certain it does. Up till recently, we were led to believe that Gen. Serna was remaining here merely to produce certain effect in Sonora, viz: That of greater dis content among the people against the government in consequence of the ex- pense and necessity of keeping troops along the frontier to prevent Serna with force making a successful dash at some point, and secure a foothold in Sonora from which it would cost much to expel him. But instead he continues Tn Tucson and does what he can to get war material and men to send to Sonora A little victory was recently achieved near Altar, an account of which we gave last week ; Thursday, news was received here that Gen. Garcia and party, representing Serna, had very lately been caught asleep in Altar by Gen. Altamirsno, attacked and some of them killed. At this writing, CFriday afternoon,) the exact particulars of the affray are not known in Tucson. but that some blood was shed in some sort of fight as stated, no doubt is enter tsined here among the Serna men.
 In the interest of humanity as well as that of international obligations, all further recruiting ought to be stopped in Tucson. Let Serna establish his headquarters in Sonora, or cease to WAT upon that State. It is now months since he has been in Sonora. We think ample evidence that he cannot succeed. Is apparent, and further attempts to keep up the bushwhacking with head quarters here and materials obtained here are not only wicked but ought to be classed as murderous. The people here owe it to themselves to prevent any further aid being raised in Tucson to such hopeless cause, even if tbev honestly think it deserves success AsI now conducted, it simply results in death without the least evidence tbatI. victory is possible

THE Republican of Washington, is supposed to understand the purposes of the President, and the following is from that paper of November 6: "The New York Times is unneces- sarily and nervously fearful that it's position on the question of third presidential term for General Grant will be mistaken. No one has ever suspected it of favoring his reelection. Inssmuch as he is not @ candidate, the self-advertising of The Times is not only gratuitous, but highly ridic- ulous."

Yuma Items.

Summarized from The Sentinel O last Saturday:
 The Montana sailed from the moutf of the Colorado for San Francisco No vember 12 and brought as passengers Surgeon Tallon; Col J. K. Roche, Pay master, clerk of Col. Roche, Miss M Titus, 19 enlisted men. A. Lang of Gils City, passed through Yuma last Satur day, on his return from San Diego. We noticed on his wagon sone beautiful growing trees, with which he intends to adorn his home. He had pepper, eucalyptus, fig and other trees, growing most luxuriantly; in fact, they were the finest lot of trees that we have seen brought into the Territory.
 Last Thursday David Neahr, Capt. Polhamus, O. F. Townsend, Wm. Pull fer and other citizens went out to the head of Main street and located plat of ground for a citizens cemetery, where the bodies of those who may pass in their checks here, may repose, without interfering with otherwise consecrated ground The plat will soon be nicely fenced, as we understand the Colorado Steamer Navigation Con- pany have generously offered to bring the material for fencing, from San Fran cisco, free of charge for freight. The original cost and the cost for construc- tion, will be quickly raised by our citizens David Neahr will soon go 10 San Francisco, when he will select and ship the necessary material.

Improvements in Land Matters.

WASHINGTON November 12.-Com
 missioner Burdett, of the General Land
 Office, will in his forthcoming report
 strongly recommend that all timber
 lands offered by the Government be
 appraised and thrown open to purchas
 CTS at not less than their appraised
 value. He is of opinion that unless they are thus placed under private guardianship he fine forests of the country will soon be wantonly exhaust ed by lumber companies and specula
 tors, who are now stripping the land of its timber under cover of dummy preemption entries, or without any pretense of compliance with the law, while the Government derives no reve- nue from its property, and the country sustains almost irreparable damage from the sweeping denudation of large areas of its watersheds. He will also condemn the practice of extending the system of subdivision surveys over immense bodies of worthless land west of the tooth meridian, and suggest that only such tracts be minutely sur veyed as have any attractions for set tiers. He will also recommend that provision be made for connecting land office surveys with important points established by geological surveys of Territories, and that monuments at sec ton corners be constricted in a much more lasting manner. The recommen- dation of his predecessor that the pre- emption lows be abolished and the system made the only meth od of acquiring title to agricultural lands, is repeated and earnestly urged upon the attention of Congress

Legislation by Congress.

If the people of Arizona are desirouI of procuring congressional Legislation on any particular subject and have mol communicated with Delegate Stevens regarding ii, they should do so without delay. One week from next Monday Congress meets. The Democrats have large majority m the House of Rep resentatives, and will likely organize with little delay and proceed to busi ness. Notwithstanding the session is the long one and may continue up till next Summer, 1t may not Tn either case, bills anything short of the great est importance 10 the whole people, should be introduced at the earliest practicable moment. else little hope of their final passage need be entertained. Territorial Delegates find it difficult to procure legislation under the most fa- vorable auspices Mir. Stevens must not be held accountable for want of success in this respect, if his constit- Gents fail to do their duty as we have in dicated. The Territory of Arizona does not appear to Congressmen of nearly so much importance as it does to her citizens, and to get them to do anything specially for her benefit is 8 more difficult task than many will comprehend
 On the railroad question, her case will necessarily receive attention in connection with interested States and Territories, and anything our people can say or do would hardly be taken into account, as the matter will come up. Two of the most powerful railway corporations have the subject in hand. They have fully decided on their line of policy before Congress. The contest between them will probably be one of the most remarkable of its kind. Ari- zona is in the line of the next overland road, and we have great faith that in any event she will soon be spanned by railway. Existing roads from either direction, cannot afford to long stop at their present termini. We are therefore reasonably sure of the relief we need in this respect; but as regards those measures for our benefit which must be brought forward and managed by Arizona's Delegate, we cannot depend upon outside aid unless timely and necessary steps be taken to enlist it.

MURDER IN MoHAvE.-The Miner oi the 18th says A man, whose name we did not learn, followed his wife, who refused to live with him, from St Thomas, Nevada, to Mineral Park in this Territory, last week, and shot and killed her while she was asleep with her child in her arms. He then shot himself twice in the breast, making slight flesh wounds. He was arrested and held in Custody. Fortunately for Mohave county, the District Court is in session at Cerbat

Gen. Juan Luna Killed.

Gen. Luna for years commanded the Mexican troops along the border about Fronterss, and was well and fRvorsbly known in Southern Arizo- ns Several times he visited Tucson since our residence here. He was a prominent and respected citizen of Fronterss, just across the border. Authentic news has been received here that he was lately killed, with another man, by Apaches between Fronteras and Arispe. His death will be @ great loss to the people among whom he lived. Excepting depreda- tions by the Apsches, his district has been st peace, and very likely he ex- ercised powerful influence to main tain peace, 8 blessed condition not long enjoyed by several portions of Sonora.

The Acq uIsition Canard.

Our San Diego and San Francisco
 dispatches show what ground less statements irresponsible tele.
 graphic reporters are capable of send
 ing over the country. For some
 weeks past, the most improbable re-
 ports have been sent out by Wash ington news-mongers; for instance
 an indictment of the Presidents chiet
 Secretary, Gen. Bsbcock; the lisbil- ity of cabinet rupture because oi the appointment of ex-Senator Chsnd- Ter, Secretary of the Interior; the Seoretary's demand for the resigna- tion of Indian Commissioner Smith the hostile attitude of the President towards Spain on Cuban affairs; the treaty for the acquisition of much Mexican Territory, and many minor matters, each and all being now ac- knowledged false.
 The late acquisition story was re- ceived here, printed and posted last Tuesday. It created decided feeling among our people generally. Nearly all Americans seemed greatly pleased and evidently hoped it would prove true, and nearly all the Me1icans were unmistaksbly displessed, and some even asserted that if true, the United States would have to fight for possession. We disbelievsd 1t on re- ceipt, for various reasons. It was inn probable in itself, and it began by saying that it is said has just leak ed out" Now a transaction of the immense importance such an one would b. to ct least two nations, could pot in this day and age of ubi- quitous and sharp news-gatherers, reach such 6 degree of perfection without its general features being we'll understood long in advance; and it is not st all likely that any admin istrstion of our government, much less that of Mexico, would be will ing to SO far consummate the meas ure without first having an expression of views thereon by the people at large.
 We think it an open question, toI say the least, whether such an scqui- sition would be advantageous to the United States. That it would to the Pacific coast towns and country near to the coast, we can readily believe, but that it would be to this interior section, we doubt There Is hardly a doubt, however, but the best effects would accrue to the Mexican people, and they are now hostile to the meas ure. A very serious objection to it, is that the new boundary would be no better than the present. Along 1t, there is neither a river of couseqnenceI nor 8 connected chain of mountains.
 There is force ill the idea put forth by some, that if we take in any more of Mexico, we should take it all at once and put the subject in course of permanent adjustment. In philan- .hropic point of view, and looking to he future of North America, the 'ntire absorption of Mexico by the United States, might be good thing {; put in business sense, it had better oe deferred many years, and our northern frontier first extended to md including the North Pole.
 On the fourth page of to-day's paper will be found some remarks of THE CITIZEN two years ago, regard ng the mere acquisition of Sonora, md we think they are applicable 0 the subject as lately revived.

EGYPI'S RULER

The extraordinary Efforts being made
by the present Khedive OF Egypt are
worthy Of the attention and admiration
of the entire civilized world. Ismail, the
present ruler, has in the comparatively
short period of his reign established
new system OF justice and a new order
of legal tribunals, created an able and
well differed army, and is now busily
engaged in the great problem of educa-
ton. For the first time in the history Of
mankind is an effort being made TO edu-
cate an entire people at once, to raise
and dark semi barbarism into the light
Of civilization and its attributes; and bis
success is as much matter Of wonder
as the attempt itself. The system Of ed
ucation is compulsory, as in PRUSSIA. and
embraces all the juvenile population
Every village has school; school oil

Khedive has struck a blow at tho Twin
sisters. polygamy and slavery; has aboi'
ished the latter and is laboring hard to
ward the abolition Of the former. In his
attempts to benefit his people he meets
with great opposition, being compelled
10 combat the accumulated ignorance ant

for three thous nd years. He has takeI

WAR CLAIMS IN PIocHE, -During his

of the late Indian war, to the amount OF
50, 20. This. the RECORD says, is
Tor provisions, cartridges, powder, ball
and caps, and the use of horses, teams,
etc. There are no charges for personal
services, the volunteers having put no
bills against the State. Whilst We think
that Gov, Bradley was actuated by the
best motives in dlspatching his Lieuten-
ant on this auditing tour, We doubt the
legal power of the latter in thus issuing
vouchers for claims. Austin Reveille, 8.
