It is stated on the author 1 fly of Judge Reyes, that the Presiden will come out here during the trial anC will probably be witness for the de fense.

Gov. McCOrmick I'm santa Fe.

THE citizens of Santa Fe have ex hibited a most hOspitab,e and kindly disposition, in the welcome extended to Gov. Mccormick and wife upon their late visit there. Last week we spoke of their hearty reception on the 29tb ultimo, but the New Mexican of the 29th now comes with very extended notice of a formal reception extended to Gov. Mccormick. The account says:
 A large meeting of our citizens as- sembled at the Council chamber about seven o'clock last evening, to partici pate in the reception rendered by the citizens of Santa Fe to Gov. R. c. Me Cormick.
 Although but little previous notice had been given of the reception, the meeting was largely attended and the Council chamber was filled with the principal civil and military officials, and prominent citizens.
 Thereafter, the article narrates, the meeting was organized, and series of the most hattering resolutions drawn up, recognizing, andexpressing grati- tude for, the able and efficient services by Gov. Mccormick to the western ter ritories generally. There can be no color of selfshness in this grateful wei come by the people of New Mexico, and it reveals a phase in their character with which we have hitherto been un acquainted.

Local Mining News.

The news from the Globe district i
 good and the developments are con
 firmatory of the great and permanen
 value of the several ledges A verl
 remarkable bonanza was picked up or
 or near one of the lodges in this dis
 irict, a short time since Mr. Munson
 very recently discovered lying on
 the surface of the ground and seeming
 ly separate from ledge, a solid mass
 of metallic silver ore weighing about
 220O pounds. IL was found on or neal
 claims already laid off in the vicinity,
 but Mr. NJ. secured the prize and had il packed in sacks on animals to Florence, where a careful and low estimate of the value of this find places it at $20,000
 It Is almost a solid mass of pure silver.
 Such d discovery as this before the latter great Comstock developments, would have electrified this western mining world But the magnitude of ore discoveries on the Pacific coast in these days has taken off the keen edge of mining settlements. And it is well that it issO There was always more or less suffering entaiied upon the crowds who, few years ago. would flock to any and every new unopened mining district, and those old time crusades are undesirable in every light. The Globe and Pinal and Peck and Tiger and Wallapai and southern Ari- zona locations, are sufficiently valuable in themselves to need no eXtraneous excitement to establish their successful working
 There are over hundred men now in the Globe district, and as work and demand increases, new men are going in there
 NIT. Conly came in, February ,, from the new discoveries, near the Cerro Colorado and returned there the next day. He says the great ledge which he, with Messrs. Hays, MimS, Schaen- enbach and others, discovered and located, surpasses everything they ever saw or heard of before Instead of having to dig shafts Tn the ground to a great depth, the ore crops out in an in mense ledge as high as house, and this for distance of four miles. There is wood and water a half mile distant. Mr. Conly says if those who think they !. have seen big lodges could see this dis covery, they would be astonished Most of the parties owning in these !, locations are without extensive means. and samples of ore have been sent to San Francisco and representations made, which it is believed will effect /. sale of this rich ledge, to parties of means, at an early day.

PAcIFIC CoAsT MATTERs.

SAN DIEGo, February 10.-The stage that left here Tuesday evening for the north, in fording the San Onotre creek,
 near Las Flores, yesterday morning, ithe lead horses became entangled in
 fioanng brush and fell, and the strong lcurrent carried them with the stage down the stream 10 the ocean. The
 driver and passengers succeeded in
 saving two of the horses and swan ashore. The mail with stage, baggage and two horses was lost. The express box WAS afterwards washed on the
 beach and saved. The stage that left here for the north last night, founc the
 San Diego river banks full and impaSs-
 able. and no stages from the north are eX-
 pected to arrive for a day or two. The
 storm seems to have been general all
 along the coast, but is now disappear
 ing. The wires have been down north
 of Los Angeles, and no reports have been received from above for the past two days. Of the weather here, The. Union this morning says: "The storm which had been gathering during Tues day, broke out at three o'clock yester- day morning, and the rain descended in torrents. In four hours nearly an inch and a quarter of rain fell. The rain ceased at nine o'clock and the weather was clear until about five o'clock in the afternoon, when the wind changed to the west with heavy show CTS. The total rainfall up to half past eight o'clock last night, as reported from the signal office by observer Wells, was one Inch and fifty three hundredths. The highest velocity of wind during the storm WAS thirty-five miles per hour. As far as reports are received from the interior, we learn hat the storm was the heaviest of the season. It is probable there was yood fall of snow in the mountain rel siOns. Farmers may now rest in the , of the largest crcp ever grown z n this country.

SEVERAL members of the committee on appropriations, in the present House ot Representatives at Washington, are looking into the Irregularities which prevail in the army relasng to retired officers, They say they can see no reason why some officers maimed in the late WAT should be retired on full rank with corresponding pay. while others who held as high rank, and were similarly maimed or disabled, should toe receiving only thirty dollars Der month. They will make an effort to remedy this inequality, and are also looking into the question of forage to officers who turn over their supplies for private livery.

Territorial Gorernment.

j. Murat Halsiead, of the Cincinnati Commercial. wearying ofhis Tyre, latel
 dropped into prose long enough to say
 ''that among the enormous national e1 penses which go on swelling year b,
 year; ;the cost of the Territorial govern
 ments is worthy the special attention
 of Congress"
 Murat may be good poet, in fact h l is such, and Emerson is said to hav
 expressed regret at his late wall owe
 the entire absence of poetry from pres
 ent literature, merely from having hat
 his attention subsequently, called to
 very ordinary poetical effort of Hal stead's. But while be has strong lyri
 cal points he is correspondingly weak il
 political economy. If he means any
 thing at all in his above quoted sug
 gestiOn, he means to charge that tho legitimate expenses of the respective
 Territorial governments are exor
 bitantly large.
 The proper expenses of the federal government of Arizona are not exor. bitantly large. The salanes and office expenses of our federal officials are barely sufficient to maintain the offices with decency, and we are positive that no offices in any State of the Union are conducted with closer economy. The court expenses are heavy but we be- lieve examination will prove that they are only equal to, and we think less than, those of districts corresponding in size in the States. The mall ex- penses are entitled to the same remark.
 The trouble and wrong done in speak ing ofexcess in Territorial government arise from the fact that the Indians and the expense of their con- trol and maintenance are chased as part of the cost of Territorial government. Nothing could be less fair. The In. iians are the wards of the Government md it is just as fair to class the annual cost of the Apache Indians with feder Il expenses in Ohio as it is to saddle hat expense upon the cost of the feder- Il government of Arizona. The several indian tribes not only cost a vast sum or their actual maintenance, but to con rol them and guard its extended foreign rontier the government sees fit to sta ion in Arizona a certain military force. This force occupies numerous and far eparated stations, with attendant ex- ensiye postal and telegraphic facilities. $ fence we have long and costly mail [ nd telegraph routes with the other at sndant expenses maintaining the va IOus Indian tribes in the Territory. nd while, in bursts of economy, for olitical effect, the most ruinous andii l advised efforts at saving in Indian ., Spenditures are frequently made or at n mpted, still such expenditures are and fl right and necessity must be large. n wo tn irds of the amounts usually larged to Territorial government ex- i, anse can be traced directly to the cost .
 Indian government, and no more h ,long to the federal government of the n erritories that to that of the States. a ot to distinguish in this respect would h as unjust as to charge the entire |, st of the suppression of the rebellion h the cost of the federal government of n e States during four years, givingI n ch its proper proportion. ci

Ores for Philadelphia.


 We have heretofore mentioned that NIT. Thomas Ewing was collecting (and forwarding to Hon. R. C. McCor mick for exhibition at the Centennial, samples of ores from a few mines, and he sent the first shipment from here for Yuma, en route, by Deguerrc's train on Tuesday. The shipment embraces samples, viz: One of so pounds from the Cid Mine; one of l15 from the Silver King; one of 90 from the Enter prise; three of 60 from the Young America; one of 20 from the Rescue one of IS from the Trench; three of 6O from the Quacharty and Sacaton; one of 9 from the BrOnkOw. These ores were put in three iron bound boxes and carefully packed in Saw-dust. and range in value from SlOO up to many thousands per ton; and they especially represent our silver, copper and lead
 -A Biab VI cdCn mlnt from which the ores were taken with all the data necessary to understand the same
 will be on exhibition with the samples. About 300 pounds from other mines are still to go, and some more is expecl- ed from Mohave county and perhaps from Yuma. Comparatively speaking. the showing will be insignificant for Arizona, but quite liberal for the in. d'viduals doing it. IL is intended after the Centennial closes, to donate the ores to the Smithsonian Institution at Washington, and thus they will remain on perpetual exhibition.

POETRY.
Time Like the Old Time.

No Time Like the Old Time.
BY OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES.
There is no time like the old time,
When you and were young,
When the buds of April blossomed,
And the birds of springtme sung.
The gardens brightest glories
By summer suns are nursed,
But oh, the sweet, sweet violets,
The flowers that opened first!
There is no place like the old place,
Where you and were born,
Where we lifted first our eyelids,
On the splendors of the morn,
From the milk-white breasts that warmed us,
From the clinging arms that bore,
Where the dear ewes glistened DER us
That will look for US no more!
There is no friend like the old friend
That has shared our morning days,
No greeting like his welcome,
No homage like his praise;
Fame is the scentless sunfower,
With gsudy crown OF gold
But friendship is the breathing rose,
With sweets in every fold.
There is no love like the old love
That we courted in our pride;
Though our leaves are falling, falling,
And we're fading side by side,
There are blossoms all around us,
With the colors of our dawn,
And we live in borrowed sunshine
When the light of day is gone.
There are no times like the old times
They shall never be forgot!
There is no place like the old place
Keep green the dear old spot!
There are no friends like our old friends
May Heaven prolong their lives!
There are no loves like our old loves
God bless our loving wives!
