MILL CREEK, July 1. 1877.
 ED. TIMES-Dear Sir: This day
 thirty-four years ago 1 celebrated
 the Fourth of July at the head of
 thecreek that runs by Dr. Edgar's ranch, near the summit of the San GOrgOniO. The summit is about thirty miles due east of San Bef- nardin0.
 The service was commenced by my Indian priest offering up pray CT 10 God for the welfare of the whole human family. Then about thirty Christian girls joined him in song, which was good and 10
 mistake. The stars and stripes were !ben raised and saluted by me firing my rifle and pistols. The warriors then concluded to sing and dance after the ancient f:sil- ion; then dinner and then whisky, of which l had two 6arrels. sT1r hand on purpose for inc celebra- tiOn. ] had It sent all round in pots, and let them go forl it to their heart5c0ntent. Everything went on ali right until the Ahird day, when they began to get ugl:S Then 1 ordered them to be tied, and the tying commenced. Tie priest got the large Indians to- gether and forbid it. 1 then had the priest tied, with his knees up through his arms anda handspike passed through, so that he had 10 lie on his back. He commenced head first for bank about 200 feet high. He went over it head first and rolled to the bot tom. The landing was composed of loose sand and did not hurt him. He had wooden cross and rosary of large dimensions. I could see it fly up every turn he made as he went down the bank.
 Yours. DANIEL SEXTON.
 P. S.-YOu may think it pretty tall for an indian to make such a prayer. but 1 told him to pray for -he whole outfit or none. D. s.

NE0bs,

For years we saw riots and mobs without number, and We carry a few scars about Us still, which show the effects of too close ac. quaintance with them. So from personal experience we know something about them.
 We have seen the very best ci- tizens. men of good moral charac- ter, and good standing in the com- munity. get into a mob, and in thirty minutes they would be transformed into demons raging and thirsting for blood. Men whom We have known as close and logical thinkers, would in the same length of time become per- tectly insane. and as incapable of

 There seems to be some unac.
 cOuntable influence which comes
 over them, and takes out of them
 every element which distin-
 guishes man from the most
 terOciOus beast. Think of even a

 comes 10 the surface in the wild
 uprOar Ofan insane and iniuriated

 worst enemies We saw mob in Chlllcnthe, Missouri. run man into store, the owner ct ,nIcb
 was with the..I,a .s,, and he seized a loren, and attempted to fire it
 with his own hands to burn him out, and was only prevented by the appearance Of squad of sOl-
 diers just in the nick of time. The next day it was pro .en that 1t was the wrong man altogether which they were after.
 Any man who would undertake to reason with mob, would be as foolish as he who should under take to argue with tiger. A mob is simply hell broke loose on earth. There Is no reason, no humanity, no feeling, no any thing which belongs to normal human beings in a mob. Men who two hours before would weep at the woes of a child, in a mob two hours alter ward would shut hundred men [ up in a house and roast theA alive, and sing and shout as their screams were flushed in death.
 A mob of intelligent men will be not one whit less ferociousr than mob Ot desperate criminals. The only difference in these two class is that intelligent men seI dom or never join a mob. Yet VI remember one in Platte county Missouri, of the most inteIligen( citizens which hung six innocent men in one night, and drove theiri wives and children into the dark ness of the wood.
 There is but one thing, just o and no more, that will have d influence with mob, it is inc certainty of immediate death. There must not be the least doubt ibOut it. There must be no chance )f escape from it. It must be cer. tain and immediate death. If this cannot be presented before heir eyes. all other things better 1e left alone. They only increase he evil instead of ahating it. Knowing the truthfulness of t'se lhOve views, we would rather bo lecently murdered in our owu1 )ed, or OD the street, than by a word, look, or an act, do any hing that could in any event rave the least tendency even in- directly of melting mob Omaha Journal

= terrOrs of the desert between hert a and Los Angeles. Following dow1 s the Gila river to it's junction witt ] the Colorado the earlier traveller: : encountered some difficulty in : crossing the latter stream. This difficulty was overcome in 1S49 by a Dr. Lincoln who, with a small party, established a ferry near the present site of Yuma. The Yuma Indians were at first friendly, but
 petty thefts on their part and
 summary reprisals by armed emi-
 grants soon brought on hostilities.
 Shortly after there arrived here a small party of Texans under the
 leadership of John Glanton. They
 were bold, reckless and accustOm-
 ed to blood, having been engaged
 in killing and scalping Indians un-
 der contract with the govern.s.seseesiiil l..ss z il Is
 of Chihuahua and Sonora at a fixed
 price per scalp. In their anxiety
 for scalps they became indifferent
 as to whether their victims were
 hostile or friendly, or whether or
 no they were Mexican citizens.
 provided their hair could be
 palmed off for that of Indians.
 Mexico got too hot for them and
 they started for California. Ar
 irving at Yuma they formed
 copartnership with pr. Lincoln,
 the two parties making a force of some fourteen men. The conduct
 of Glanton and his men increased
 the hostility of the Yuma Indians.
 To them he attributed murders
 and robberies of emigrants com-
 mitted by himself. The profits of the ferry were great and were augmented by the spells of his victims. Vain searches have been made for great leather bags of money, bullion and jewelry buried by Glanton under mes | quite tree near the C0lorado; acci- dent may yet discover them.
 Finally he killed a man whom the Indians employed to run an oppo- sltion ferry established by them. They then attacked and massacred the whole party except three; one, name unknown, and Joe Ander- son, since a resident of DIiIquitay, who were absent from Glant0n's camp, and made good their escape, |. and C. o. Brown, then a mere lad but now a citizen Of Tucson, and one who has done much to develop that part of the country. On the llth of July another party arrived from California and re-estabIished the ferry. They were L. J. F. lager, Ben Hartshorne, Geo. A. Johnson, Dr. Ogden, Ankrim, Blake, Turf, Moses and During the fall of 1850 and spring of 1851 over GO, 0,0GO 7, people crossed tho Colorado on their ferry.
