THE CONTRAST.

By the same mail we are in receipt of the Miner of the 18th snd of the Citizen of the 17th inst. The latter gives details of the murder by Indians and burial of four more men, and tellssuS of one man lying at CanOa shot through
 the thigh and of another at ArI- vaca with a shattered arm. In the same paper Gov. Stafford gives to the public long list of solid facts, that bear upon their face the inn pIe of truth, that are supported hv date and locality and that are cOrroborated by tangible evidence. The number of men killed, of stock stolen and the paucity of I9dians harmed; the army wagon

 eral inPrtness Of military Ira. tions in southea7terr. ariz 4a, a-- al gIveu-cIrcumstanciaiiy and ali support the Governors complaint Of the ineHcieucy of army affairs ia that section. NOW mark the contrast. The Miner comes to us loaded with insinuations that the Governors call for volunteers was prompted only by hopes of dis. honest gain and by malice toward the Department Commander; it tOrturps the demand of Pima cnrSty for military actiUity into a cl8mor for more supply consum
 ing soldiers; it braZenly states in 8r editorial that, mot single animal had been lost and no Oth- Ter injury had been done, except sthe shooting of an arrow into a "dog in the mud town of Tubac," while its dispatches give the names of the four men, who were buried near Tubac by supervisor of Pima County. Ungenerous sneers and unmanly filings at citi- zens of Southern Arizona are coupled with fulsome laudations Of the Department Commander; the Milier's comments may be as unmerited in the latter case as they are in the former; falSWs i'a u1aO, fdLSuS in On1ne. When the Indians killed men in Yavapai, Pima mOurned with her: when gallant Townsend, brave Genung and others of Yavapai's citizens organized as volunteers, Pima never sneered at them as "prO- specting party" but gloried in their valOr and loaded their prowess. Telegrams have been sent from Tucson, saying that so many men were killed at a stated place, on given date and furnish ing their nnmeS and the details of their burial. Straightway have followed t0 the entire Press of the C0ast, telegrams manufactured at Prescott, denouncing the Tucson news as lies, gotten up to tarnish the fame If some otherwise Ob- scure army officer. The contrast is GispleasiDg. Little boys some times insert straw into frog, and blow until the poor creature, swollen with air to abnormal di- mensions, unable to sink into his natural element, floats bouyantly on the surface; but it generally kills the frog. Enduring reputa- tions. civil or military, are not made by newspaper puffing- deeds alone can do it. Verb. SID.

GENTLEMEN About twelve years ago, while

every known remedy for four weeks without avail

DIR. scHENcKs PuLMoNIc SYRUP

SEA WEED Tonic AND MANDRAKE PILLs.-These.
medicines have undoubtedly performed more cures
of Consumption than any other remedy known TO
the American public They are compounded OF
vegetable ingredients, and contain nothing which
can be injurious to the human constitution. Other
remedies advertised as cures for Consumption,
probably contain opium, which is q somewhat dan
gerous drug in all cases. and if taken freely by con-
sumpive patients it must do great injury; for its
tendency is to confne the morbid matter in the
system, which, OF course, must make cure impOs-
sible. Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup is warranted not
to contain particle OF opium; it is composed OF
powerful but harmless herbs, which act on the
lungs, liver stomach and blood, and thus corrects
all morbid secretions and expel all the diseased
matter from the body. These are the only means
bys which Consumption can be cured, and as
schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic and
Mandrake Pills are the only medicines which ope
rate in this way is obvious that they are the only
genuine cure for Pulmonary Consumption. Eaci
bottle of this invaluable medicine is accompanied
by full directions. DR.. SChenck is professional.
