BY TELlLGRA RAPH.

PRESCorT, Dec. 2p. The MeNicanS at San Elezario agreed that, if the Rangers would surrender Howard and Atkins, they would let the Rangers go uu- touched. To which proposition the Ran gers refused to comply. Finally the MeXicans agreed to let Howard, Mcbride and Atkins of if they would sign paper to leave the country. They agreed to this proposition, and when Howard, Mcbride and Atkins left the garrison to sign the pa- pers, the MeXicans took them out of town and shot the three, although they were un- der the white flag. The Mexcans then dis armed the Rangers and sentthcm to Fl Paso. Ten companies are on their way 10 the scene of action from New Mexico with Cat ling guns.
 Gen. Hatch will be in Fl Paso to-day.
 The MeXicaus plundered the whole town. stores, mills, and private houses.

THE MouAVE MAIL.

James Stewart, Esq, Superintendent oi the California and Arizona Stage Company, has been out to Mohave County examining the lay of the land. He fully agrees with the people out there, in their demand for better mail service, but thinks they mistake the remedy when they expect. the Contract ors to do it for nothing. The C. X X. Stage Co. put in bid at a price that would have enabled them to have kept wagons on the road, but they were uDderbid by Cheeney X Co. and lost the contract. Not only were they underbid, but the prlce for which Chce- ney & Co. took 1t was so low that lt would not pay them to carry it, even on horseback. The C. tS 4. O., having horseback con- tract from Mineral Park to Pioche, Ney,, made it necessary to send an agent over the route occasionally, and on this account they could do this Prescott and Mohave horseback service cheaper than anyone else, and at the request of Cheeney tS Co.,, who had discovered that they had taken it too low, the C. x A. Co. took a sub-contTact to carry it at the same figure; but Mr. Stew art assures us that he and his Company would be only too glad to giveit up to any body who wants it, and who will enter into bonds to carry it faithfully, so as 10 relieve them from the obligation.
 What Mohave County most needs is bet ter paid mail. and that they have not got it is not the fault of the sub-contractOrs, nor is it entirely with the Contractors who bid far under what was reasonable without knowing what they were doing.
 The main fault lies with the POstoffice Department, in not advertising for at least a semi if not a tri-weekly mall from Pres colt, the Capital of the Territory, to the county-seat of Mohave County, to take in Blackberry, as well as another to Signal City, the center of population in the Sandy country. These contracts, as we'll as these prayed for in their petition. published in yesterdays MINER, should specify tha, the mails should becarried in passenger wagons, in order to insure public conveyance for the accommodation of travel.
 X very prominent fact in connection with the management of mail matters on this coast is, that while Postal Agents, of high and low degree. swarm on the trains, in the Pullman and Silver Palace cars, on steam CTS and in the cities; and few have ven tured out short distance, on Concord coaches, away from the railroads, vet no such creature as a Mail Agent has ever been seen in Mohave County, and should one ap- pear some morning among Captain Hardy $ goats, he would be as great curiosity as the ''cerbat" now on his way to be cXhibi- ted at Woodward's Gardens in san Fran cisco.

PERSONALITIES.

Some of the patrons of the MINER justly complain of the personalities that We have been obliged to indulge in by way of defense against foul and false charges made against us in the Enterprise.
 We regret, as much as anyone can, the necessity that compels Us to notice the black guard attacks of one who knows nothing oi the amenities of honorable journalism, but simply prnwls around in the back yard oi the profession !: but We submit that we can not afford to remain silent under these printed charges. no matter sow vile the source from which they come. We asked the Grand Jury to irdict us, if lis charges were true, and punish Us, gs a man ought 10 be punished, who is guilty, but that body decided, in effect, that he was liar in max jag the charges. an refused to investigate the matter. or even to call him as witness to substantiate his own published words lh this. the Grand Jury failed ;0 do its duty, notwithstanding they considered the eecusef unworthy If notice, The fact that ne is irresponsible for what hs says, should gave him go right to slander and bcfUul any citi' zen in print, and publish i, broad cast over the land We hold thst a newspaper has no right Co sacrifice private character, and the fact that its editor is a black gnard' or is IT. responsible far what he says, l. no excuse. The public hss stake is the good name oi i its citizens. and bc who dctames gu's' slii-
 zeu does it at his peril, and ought to be punished by the law, and hewho maiiseious ! ly, willfully, wantunly or caveloss'y even, ! falsely charges man wiih crime, Is Toe ! to society, and a foe to tAc law.
 ! This. the law recognizes, aEd always has,
 so that from the earliest history of ciyilixa- tion, and the rudest stages of society, the law has afforded protection to every | man in the full and complete enjoyment oi i a well earned reputation.
 We believe that every man has rights ihat
 a newspaper ought to be compelled io re- spect. and yet we have not asked, nor do we propose to ask, such protection for ourseii' and the constant attempts ot the Enter
 prise to induce people 10 believe that We | have tried 10 hay0 the Grand Jury do any
 thing, except to investigate the charges
 made by that paper against us, are utterly
 and entirely without foundation. ln truth,
 as are majority of its editorial utterances. 1 The idea that we should try tp induce anybody to abate the nuisance. could ouly
 originate with one afflicted with s1tteHing
 of the brain.
 This much, we have felt constrained to say by way of apology to our readers Tor ] bringing to their notice 90 dirty subject.
