sight for our own, would buy a large
 quantity of the actual pearls in exist
 ence throughout the whole world. They
 saw the salt lagoon, but God knows the
 United States has salt enough. The people need more potatoes upon which to put their sal. They saw the beaut. ful agua verde bays, the sparkling blue
 waters of the coast indentations. the enchanted mountain line which, from the vessels deck as these mountains lie wrapt in their beautiful haze look like the fur seen walls of paradise, but upon nearer approach are barren as to both base and sides with the barreness of utter damnat,on.
 Messrs. Surveyors, we have been there; we have penetrated that promis- ing land; we have crossed the valleys, we have climed those beautiful moun- tains; we have hung for dear life on the jagged rock wall on one side of their precipitous paths, and looked down on the other side to the hundreds of feet of a certain death. We have found within or enclosed by these mountains, the valleys of which we had previously heard so much. And we wish to say, that if anything which you have re- ported shall eventually work towards loading this unfortunate country with the possession of Lower California, we sincerely hope that you and all yours may be at some future time compelled to make that delectable land your per manent place of abode, and be thrown upon your own resources to make a living there. This is hard but it's honest.
 It is somewhat remarkable that the gentlemen of our army and navy see similar things in such different lights. General w. B. Hagen of the army, dis covered some barren mountains and occasional alkali plains scattered here and there over all otherwise rich mineral, agricultural and grazing sec ton already in our possession, and he therefore condemns and tries to damn the whole, out of hand. A couple of doctors in our navy discover, in Lower California, a perfect moHopoly of the very features that so disgusted Hagen in our present possessions, and they forthwith "have the hOnOr," &c. to sing p9ans of praise of the great value and beauty of their latest discovery. Gen eral and Doctors both, if you didn't halnnD t0 organizations u'hnSr mcmhars are constitutionally as incapable of telling a lie as of being dishonest, we should think that you were possibly actuated in your reports by motives common to weak humanity. But as this can't very well be the case, the dissimilarity of your reports on similar geological features must remain as it is,-one of those things a fellow can never understand.

AN INCIDENT.

"Spanish! Ofcourse I'm spanish, "said she "To the last dark drop Of my blood" And the lightning gleamed in her beauti
 ful eye
 And told him 10 stand where he stood The place was the street called Mesilla, The hour, between eight and nine, The scene, girl, with a shawl round hel
 head,
 Quickly threading a crowd in line. Twas while she was passing through this
 crowd
 That the insult too gross for pen, Had met with blow from her own slight
 hand
 In the face Of one Of the men. II made mistake that time," said he, As the oath to his pale lips rose, ''I supposed Of course she was Mexican From the very style ofher clothes" Spanish! know I'm Spanish" :" (againJ ''I'm MeXican-dress and blood" And the lurid flash and gIeam of here eye, Forced the hound to stand where he
 stood. But whats in the name Of a Spanish girl That calls for an insult so base, When perchance detained from her home
 overt time,
 Her walk leads by one Of your race. What warrant is there, in me or my blood From anything done in the past, Which sanctions such wrong, or calls for
 ip words
 An insult so mean as thls last?" This was all said in Spanish. No more,- The girl quickly sped on her way, While Inc whipped eur entered bar room
 door
 And took gln to moisten his clay.

LATE NEWS FROM GUAYMAs. Governor Squeira-The RebeII- iou-The NayOs Kissing Killing of United States Citizens.

Adviccs from Guaymas, of date De cember 31, state that the revolution in thSt part of Sonora was in it's normal condition, with advantages first on one side and then on the other At that date, Governor J. J. Pesuucira was still on the river engaged in his cam paign against the Yaqui Indians, pro gressing quite slowly. Nothing effective was being done and no fighting, beyond skirmishing in the brush and among the cane-brakeS. The Indians were still dehant X noticeable pecunarity was that when the Yaqui unpleasant. ness first occurred, there was a sudden disappearance from Guaymas of the old, decrepid and worn out men and women of that tribe. These constitute the began element of GuaymaS. Upon the first alarm of war they all left for the river and went into the business of arrow making, gathering wood, roots, edibles, bearing water and performing seryile work generally for the bucks who are on the war path. At the same timeiGuaymas lost its Yaqui cargadores, the men who discharge vessels and car, " goods from the wharf and custom house. The cOmmandant of the garri- son of the town now permits his men to do this work, which otherwise would be expensive, as the whites would have to do it and these charge higher wages. General Ignacio Pesqueira was reported some where on the iron tier, hunting Serna, but had not, Cat the date of our letter) been able to find him; his force was reported at six hun dred and Serna's at five hundred. The extra expense of keeping men under arms to watch Scrna and tO whip the Yaquis into peace was being raised by contributions, which since August last had been three, while another was to be levied in January and of course must continue to the end of,he chapter. Some two weeks before the writing, (about the middle of December) tle Mayo Indians at Santa Cruz, on the Mayo river, rebelled against their au- thOrities, and killed two United States citizens,-Andrew J. Wiley and Fred erick HOifmann,-whOh had rancho nCsA c.lI,td eyIuL- TTnSt 0oS sliOS through the heart with an arrow. He pulled It out with his own hands, re marking that it was only a scratch, but in a few moments fell dead HOfTmann made fight but atIer killing two h. dians was wounded with an arrow which disabled him, when he was dis patched my machetes. Wiley's wife escaped, but their house and crops were destroyed. It is very sad case but our correspondent doubts whether the United States consul could do any thIng in the matter, if he were called upon, as the outrage was committed by parties in open rebellion against the government. Several Mcxicans were killed at the same time by the Indians. Christmas had passed off very dull and there was sorrow in the land. News had iUstreached Guaymas, at the close of the writing, that Ores had been talk en by Serna

Land Office Decisions.

In late decisions of the Commissioner of the General Land Office, published in Copp's Landowner, the following points are established "In all cases where mining claims lie partly in one land district and partly Tn another, ap- plications for patents therefor should be filed in that district where the prin. cipal workings of the claim are situ- ated, as shown by the plat and field notes and the diagrams and notices should be posted near to such workings. A copy ofthe notice and of the diagram should be posted in the registers office in each district,
 The notice posted in the office of the register where the application for pat ent is not filed, should state where the application for patent for the premises therein described has been filed, and the date of the fling of such applica- ton.
 To the end that the applicants may be to as little expense as possible in the matter of publishing the notices requir- ed by the law, when one and the same party seek patent to several locations, publication may be made of the several notices of intention to apply for patents for mines in one advertisement, where in will be accurately described the premises embraced by each of said ap- plicatiOns.
 This advertisement will Ofcourse be published for the period of tune re- quired by law, to wit If fpublished in a weekly paper, the advertisement must be inserted in ten consecutive issues of the paper but fpublished in daily paper, sixty days must elapse between the first and last insertion of the said advertisement"

WHILE there is frequently more or less silly talk of wrongs and injuries contemplated, upon .l.--T, T,v.1,--0r' ,r,, United States towards Mexico. it may not be amiss to note, in the language of The Washington Republican, the fact that our Government has been the friend and firm supporter of Mexico al all times and under all circumstances that the overthrow of Maximillian was mainly accomplished by American agencies, and that when the Powers Of Europe combined to destroy the Mex ican Republic, although we were en gagged in a great civil strife, our Gov ernment did not hesitate to boldly pro test against the attempt to overtun the sacred principles of the Monroe Doc urine.

Dead Letters.

The number Of dead letters whicl passed through the POst-ofiice depart ment during the last fiscal year wa. about 4,5OOOOO. Of these 31, ,799 con tained money, acgregating S61,OOO
 l4,225 letters contained drafts, notes and bills of exchange of the value of $, 2,997,S47 135,O97 letters contained samples sofmerchandise, postage stamps and miscellaneous articles 3,740,00C contained nothing of value.
 While some of this lost matter may be accounted for on the ground of wrong addresses being given or re- moval of parties to whom letters are sUuI, tho Stout bulk UI the marteT laliS to reach its proper destination through the gross carelessness of hu- manity Tn general. Yet nOtwithstand- ing the terrible indictment which these figures make, there is scarcely any hope that correspondents will improve their habits. AlonzO will in the future, as in the past, lay bare his heart to Melis- Sa and be so absorbed in his passion as to forget the postage stamp on his en- velOpe; and while Melissa is weeping over the faithlessness of man, AlOnzO's letter is running its usual course to the dead letter office. The mercantile firm of Smith S Smith will in due time make their remittances and i'll due time be sued for the same, because they consigned the original to the dead let ter office instead of the proper address. The only son far away from home at school will have to sell his books to pay his proportion of expenses of tine last spree, because fOrsooth the widow ed mother of thIs hopeful, by foolish error sent her last installment, duly moistened with her tears, to the dead letter office; and in neighboring town, the usually spTightly, laughing school miss intersperses her morning piano lesson with fits of Respondent medita ton and weeping simply because the lovely article of attire or usefulness or ornament, which had been promised for a Christmas present, and which the dOung father had SO fondly described in his letter, had failed to arrive. IL was among the samples of merchan- disc in the dead letter office, perfectly safe, but innocent of any address what ever. The faithful emigrant will con tinue to work and save for years to accumulate sufficient to bring his loved ones from his native land to these new CT shores; will finally take all he has, hasten with bounding heart to the brokers, purchase his dearly earned draft, and send it as straight to the dead letter office as any government with proper ideas on the subject can allow.
 What a channel house it is, this dead letter office. Buried hopes, blasted as- piratiOns, dead loves, lost treasures, impotent curses, obscene condiments, bibles with marked texts, hymn books which favorite hymns noted, love letters that would make one weep. What a cauIdron of toll and trouble, fed and filed by human carelessness.

ANEW disease has appeared among the cattle near Middleburg, Pennsyl- vania. Every animal attacked so far has died. IL seems to be readily com municated, even to other animals than cattle. 4 Mr. Martin, who had lost a fine blooded COW, was hauling her away to the woods when a dog that was fol- lowing frequently put hIs nose to the carcass in the act of smelling. The dog returned to the house with his m lS- ter, and was taken sick and died in a very short time. Veterinary surgeons pronounce the disease 'mad-itch." Much anxiety prevails among the farmers on account of the new peslilencc among the beasts.

TIE following ineXcusably wicked statement is going the rounds of the press.
 The absurd story about the phenix grew out of the fact that pheniXes al ways roasted in ash trees, and hence when they took wing they were said to rise from their ashes"
 The vandal who thus attempts to rob mankind ofone of it's dearest mytholog- lcal traditions, was probably not aware of the fact that pheniXes don't roost, and from the very nature of their or ranization can't roost We should en- large on the subject were it not for its delicacy.

SOMETHING is wrong. It is now as high as thirty days since an exchange has come to us, burthened with tale that some wife in the east had heard from her long lost husband, that he was in Arizona and that he owns at least three silver mines These little crumbs used to come to Us regularly once a fortnight, and the reading them was one of the things which went to make life endurable. Why this long interval? Don't do things so suddenly. It's dangerous. And fits all the same, let the next lost-found husbands effects be put down at four silver mines, to make up. There are plenty of them and the extra one won't be missed.

OF giving the Office to the man instead OF
the man to the Office, cannot wholly es-
cape responsibility tor the results which
have come from the following out OF our
principle.
There is virtue still. however, in the
great masses OF the people. The indig-
nation with which the breasts OF all men
are filled is not mere chagrin at expos
ure. 1t is genuine and very deep. and
there is good reason to hope tina: it will
work reformation as we'll asrepentance.
Having Numbered, it is well that we see
the tull effects OF our blunder, and we to-
tally misconceiye the character as vel

intelligent scrutiny of the characters OF

lRELANO'S STRUGGLE FOR INDEPEND-
ENCE.

The Irish World, published in the in
interest OF the Irish people, openly and
increasingly advocates the release Of
Ireland from British thraldom. The
American whose heart does not beat in
unison with this doctrine, viz. THE IN
DEPENDENCE OF IRELAND, must be
utterly de, old OF all sense Of gratitude.
When we remember what firm friends
tho Irish people have been to our Gov
eminent from its earliest infancy, we can
say from the unermost recesses OF our
heart, God speed the work of liberating
down trodden and oppressed Ireland!
Although as nation we are debarred by
International law from taking any steps
looking to this end, rs individuals we
freely give our warmest sympathies to
the people of Ireland, who are forced to
yield an unwilling allegiance to a
naughty and aristocratic power, whose
superior strength enables it to hold them
unwilling subjects. We believe the day
10 coming when not the least Of Gods
creatures will be forced to VIZ ar the yoke
ofOppression, and when universal liberty
shall reign throughout the world.
