ELSEWHERE in thIs number of THE lCITIZEN will be found some very in
 tereresting proceedings of meeting
 of citizens of Grant county, New Mex
 ico, held at Silver City, in favor of an
 nexation 10 Arizona. From what VIC
 know of the citizens of southwestern
 New Mexico, they are a most desira
 ble lot and we sincerely hope they will
 be successful in making connection
 with Arizona. Some corner loafer here,
 who perhaps owes us an unpaid and
 unintended-to-be-paid bill, and there
 fore owes us grudge, lately wrote to
 the Silver City Herald that THE CITI-
 ZEN, in it's lukewarmness on the subject
 of annexation, didn't represent public sentiment here. There are q number
 of people in Tucson whom this paper doesn't represent and never will re- present and can't be hired to represent.
 And when THE CITIZEN does repre- sent or advocate any men or measure it does so intelligently and to some purpose. Our paper has many .and strong friends in southern New Mex leo and they know that even its luke warmness on a subject is more desir- able than the frantic howlings of a score of imbeciles.
 We have not had time to thoroughly examine the matter of annexation, but from cursory attention we cannot see that it would do harm to any portion of New Mexico to be joined to Arizona and in many respects we believe great good would result. It would be super fluous to repeat that nothing would please us more than the annexation proposed. But there may De great obstacles in the way and the first thing to do is to ascertain the force and char acttr of those obstacles. As we said in THE CITIZEN of September g, it is quite an object to hear from Santa Fe and the interior on the subject. We have heard nothing from there yet. It is quite possible that for certain req sons northern New Mexico might not object to the divorcement proposed. If such were the case, or if pacific pro- cedure would achieve such result twothirds of the difficulties in the way of divorce and annexation would be at the outstart. For if north ern New Mexico object, and press its we are afraid annexation would stand a poor show. But let there be a strong and rational effort made in the matter. If the men in Grant county are confident of the en- of a majority of their neigh boring fellow citizens in their project, 1 let them enter into correspondence l with and secure the cooperation of lead | ng men in Arizona and New Mexico, | md obtain some representation and l of their views and meas Ires at Washington.

Notes from the San Pedro.
TOctober sth, 1s76.l.


 Mir. O. P Ingham, now stopping at the San Pedro crossing, mourns his missing horses. They were followed to Camp Wallen, a distance of 9 miles, and there the trail was lost Probably they only strayed, as no In dian track was found following the animals.
 The party which followed the above missing horses, reports having inspect ed tEe crops of the late Johnson and Mowrey. There was found evidence t at very lately military command
 the ono from Camp Lowell0 had passed by the place, and the agreeable discovery was made that the gallant crew passing had dug up every hill of potatoes, cOnfiscated all the cabbages, and cabbaged what tomatoes were ripe, besides harvesting a quantity of corn they had not sowed. The tracks in the field were those of cavalry boots
 The late Mir. Johnson had toiled hard, together with his son George and the late Mowrey, to raise crop, from the proceeds of which to support his numerous family yet at Placerville George was to start within a few days from Tres Alamos to gather this crop, but if a few more military commands pass soon by his farm, no need of going; the crops will be we'll gather led.
 F. Stephens, an ornithologist from Chicago, has pitched hIs tent at Tres Alamos, and is busy making collect ions. He has specimens of about a hundred varieties of birds mostly from New Mexico and Arizona. In about a month he intends to start for California to prosecute his bird hunt ing around Santa Barbara. While in New Mexico the dusIy foe levied on him to the full extent of his live stock.
 Two prospectors from the Globe district are laying in provender for a months walk-abOut in the Santa Cata- rina mountains northwest of Tres Ala mos.

TIE Miner says: Murat Masterson fought a gallant fight at Tucson in the census fraud case. He went single handed, clothed with the breastplate of righteousness, and holding ID his hand the sword of justice"
 We do not know how Mir. Masterson started out of Prescott, but we assure his friends there that while here he
 wore none of those things mentioned by the Miner. Every time We saw him
 he had on ordinary store clothes exter nally. It is barely possible that he
 may have had a breastplate of right ,eousness on under hIs shirt-we never saw him with his shirt off-but we are positive about the sword. No man could come into this quiet and peace able community and appear in our courthouse and walk down our streets and go to hIs meals. with a sword in his hand and not attract universal at liention He couldn't do this with even
 a lin sword, much less with such a lcheese-knife as we have always con lceived a genuine sword of juSuce to
 be. Somebody has been imposing On the gHsher Of the Miner

The readers of the OPINION and
especially of Orange County may be
somewhat surprised to read com,
munication from one Of the old
standard be arers of the Republican
party in your County. The recOl-
lections of the old camping ground
in Chelsea. where with men such as
your Farnham, Hutchins, ROwell
and hosts of others have met, and
in solid Phalanx have shoulder to
shoulder fought the common enemy
and won the victory oyer wrong
and injustice making the very hills
and valleys to echo the refrain of a
redeemed republic. Work, WOrk,
for the good old cause, and give to
the great west, a renewal of little
vermont's loyalty to the Union.
| have travelled most of this, the En-.
pire State of the West (Illinois) and
in this communication will say, that
politically, socially, rellgiously, and
in mateiia wealth she has no peer.
Her agricultural interests are i'm
mense. Her school system is of the
most liberal in tue country; socially
she is becoming pre.eminent.-
Wealth second to any state.
The people Of Vermont would be
astOuished to see the vast gather
ings of people gethered together, to
discuss the great questions of the
day. The presidential campaign
has opened and down here in the
Egypt of the state the Political
cauldrOn is SETTLING aud all is CON-
motion. Have no fears but what the
state will give her vote for Hayes
and Wheeler. Egypt will tally strong
IN this campaign. 1 write from per-
sonal observation and believe can
Judge fairly. For the benefit of all
would say the corn and wheat
,rops are more than an average.
There need be no cry, that there is
not sufficient produced to feed the
hungry. More anon.
