THE CONQUERED BANNER.

The following poem, which can
hardly be surpassed in beauty and
pathos. is among the few fine things
called out bY-sthe lost cause. 7 1t
describes, we have no doubt. the
deepest feelings Of thousands of our
Southern brethren. Mistaken or
misguided, as ne may view them,
we can. nevertheless, feel for them
the profoundest sympathy and this
sympathy, and the equaAy1Profound
respect which their conduet lin the
fieid has commanded from us all,
should make the union OF the future
closer and stronger than that which
it was sought to sever. Can any
one inform as as to the authorship
Ofsthe poem. Is the author still
living?-Boston Watchman and Re-
fector.
BY WV W.
Furl that banner, for tits weary,
Round its staff it's dropping dreary:
Furl it, fold it, it is best;
For there's not man to wave it, @
And there's not sword to save it,
And there's not one left to lave it
In the blood which heroes gave it,
And its foes now scorn and brave it
Furl it, hide it, let it rest.
Take that banner down, tbs tattered,
Broken is its staff and shattered,
And the valiant hosts are scattered,
Over whom il floated high.
o, tbs hard for US to fold IT,,
Hard to think there's none to hold It,
Hard that those who once unrOlled it
q Ow must furl it with a sigh.
FitYf that banner, furl It sadly
Once ten thousand hailed it gladly,
And ten thousand wildly, madly,
SwOre itshould forever wave; .
Swore that foeman's sword sh'uld nev'r
Hearts like theirs entwined discover,
Till that flag should float forever.
-r Ger their freedom or their grave.
Furl it, for the hands that grasped it,
And the hearts that fondly clasped it.
Cold and dead are lying low, -.
And the banner it is trailing,
While around it sounds the wailing
OF its people in their woe.
For, though conquered, they adore il,
-Eevesthe cold, dead Ilands that bore it,
Weep for those that fell before it,
Pardon those who trailed and tore it,
And, o, wildly they deplOre it,
Now to furl and fold il so.
Furl that banner, true 'tis CORY,
Yet lis wreathed around with glory,
And will live in song and story
Though its folds are in the dust;
For its fame on brighter pages,
Penned by poets and by sages,
Shall go sounding down the ages
F'nrl lis folds though now we must.
Furl that banner, softly, slowly,
Treatit gently, it is holy,
. For it droOps above the dead;
Touch it not, unfurl it never,
Let it dToOp there furled forever,
For its peoples hopes are dead.
This splendid poem was written
by Father Ryan, who has been called
the ''poet priest of the South and

a Crushing Weight of Debt.

The national debt of this country
is about $2,10O,O00, 900; State, conn
ty andlmap1icipaI debts, $500, O,U0U,-
600; totaL 1900, ,000.000. The iu-
terest on this, at six per cent, which
issless than the rate on much Of it,
amounts to S2I6,0OO, 900, which
must be raised from the producing
clnsses. This is about $27 to each
head of family or attraction over
So on each man, woman and child,
white. black and Indian in the whole
country The entire debt il distrib-
uted out would be not less than $S7
per capital or about $3.50 to each
head of a family. The question
which We, have been asked is, how
much is this to each actual producer!
We find by the census that in 1870
there were in the United States r.
5O5.923 persons. engaged in gainful
occupations, and as these must, in
tue end pay this debt--if it is ever
paid-each one would owe about
$500, But of these 12,505,923 per.
sons engaged in gainful pursuits
only 5.922,OOO were tillers of the
soil. producing, cotton and tobacco,
grass, the cereals and food of every
kind, whilst in all other pursuits
that is. the professions, in mining
and manufacturing, in commence
and trade, were found 6,583. 1000 per
sons. Now, if we suppose that the
tillers of the soil, who are the only
real producers, save what is made BY
commence with foreign nations, are
required to meet the debts, we find
that each one owes nearly 5000
These are astonishing figures, but
their approximate accuracy is easily
demonstrated. and we believe they

Another Mining Expedition.

A letter of date February l5, Junction City, Kansas, says:
 Mr. A. w. Callen of this place, with a party of fifteen or twenty men went ut ito AriZOnaD in 1873, on an exploring eX- peditiOn. He reports fabulous mines, and exhibits specimens of gold and silver ore which if found in quantities as reported, would seem To prove his stories true. He now proposes to organize a company of 100 to 200 men to go out for the purpose of working the mines; each man to con tribute $500 for purchasing machinery, teams, provisions, etc."
 IL is needless 10 say that all such Tout fits ' are ultimate failures, and the pro- jectGrs may be regarded with suspicion. We may be mistaken, but feel confident nevertheless, that none of these large companies ever accomplish anything but loss to the majority of men composing them, and results in their thorough and complete disgust for the locality of their "great eXpectations.' We rejoice at the prospect of an influx of population on any basis that promises permanency, but must express, as often heretofore, our belief that such companies prove disastrous to it's mepo bers and more harm than good to the Territory or State 10 which they are bound-especially all having mining for their main object. A. w. Callen may make a success for himself and possibly for those who pay in $500 for the privilege of a chance in with him and ia his oper- ations, but our hopes of the Territory's development are not more enthusiastic in consequence.

Rich Ores in Pima County.

Now that we have an assay office in the value of ores found in Pima county. The result agreeably surprises everybody, and none more so than MT. Hughcs-the assayer. Sample after sample is brought that aseays up into the hundreds of gold or silver and sometimes of both. Then copper ore is more abundant and richer than .in any known part of the world. Lead as well as silver is plentiful in the Patagonia mountains The Santa Cata- rina mountain range a few miles north east oI Tucson, until recently supposed 10 be destitute of precious metals, is now known to contain some ot the richest Iold and silver veins. In fact, at this.tine, it,is well established that the mountains in,every direction from Tucson, are ribbed with veins of the precious metals and also Of baser quality but of equal necessity in the commerce of the world.
 All acquainted with our course as edi- {, r, know that we never overestimate the resources of our locality. Any other course would at most effect but tempora- ry advantages, and in the end be ten-fold more damage than all such gain. Devel- opments now justify almost any state ments, however enthusiastic, we could make That we have richer ores than any other Territory or State, we regard as a
 fact, and that they are sufficiently abund- ant to justify capitalists in the erection of reduction works at various points in this county, as another fact. That a com plete estabis hment for the reduction of ores right here in Tucson would pay, we have no doubt-always provided it were conducted by men of undoUbted prOfes- slonal ability. We believe it would be a splendid investment for the business men of Tucson to form a stock company to build one, or extend aid to some man or company to do so.

THE United States and district courts of the third judicial district met in Tucson on last Monday-his honor Chief Justice Dunne presiding. On that day eases were called and set for hearing. On Tuesday the United States grand jury convened and continued in session until Thursday morning. James H. ToOle, Esq, was fore man. One indictment was found for sell ing liquor to Indians, and some other bus mess of a general nature transacted.
 On Thursday morning the several mem- oers of the United States grand jury were sworn in as Territorial grand jury. with I. H. ToOle, foreman, and proceeded to bus- ness. Court adjourned over until this morning when it is expected the grand jury will have completed it's labOrs and make it's final report 10 the court.

FLORENCE, FINAL Co.,, ARIZONA, March 5, lS75
 ED. CITIZEN: The election for county officers and location Of cOunty-Seat, pass ed off very quietly last Monday. There were but two precincts established in the county; one at Florence and the other at Sacaton. There were siXty-nine votes polled at the former place anu twenty at the latter. At the general election held on the Gila last Fall, there were about one hundred and seventy votes cast at the diff ferent precincts in what is now the new county. 1 cannot account for such small number now, except that it was because there were but two precincts established, which made it very incOnvenient for the voters. From the best and most reliable information ] can get, expect that when the new registry law goes into effect, there will be in Pinal county about one hundred and thirty or forty voters, and the popula- tiOn will be between six and seven hun dred. Economy is the watchword of our new county, with an increase of our school tax and decrease of county tax.
 Very truly yours, B.

Compulsory Education.

One of the first effects of the attempt to enforce system of compulsory education in New York is a marked increase in the number of applications for admission in the public schools; and the manifestation of considerable anxiety by parents in regard to the future conduct of boys who have hitherto been in the habit of play ing .truant. It is also believed that many children employed in workshops will soon be sent to night schools for the first time, thus largely increasing the at tendance at those useful institutions. The incorrigible youths have apparently not yet been influenced by the law, and it is supposed that stringent measures will be necessary to impress them with the con- viction that it mYt be obeyed; but there is dispositiod to make arrests and impose punishments in cases where mild meas ures prove ineffective Alta.
