First Settlement of Yuma,

Bishop Salpointe publishes, in
the Dos Republics, a series of
historical notes on the early settle
lnent of Arizona. From an old
book, called the corona Serafica"
(Seraphic Crown of the College Of
Queretaro, he takes the following
information concerning the first
settlements on the Colorado river
by Catholic missionaries.
After many journeys and great
labOrs among the various tribes of
Arizona Indians, Father Garces
finally succeeded in March 1778
in establishing two missions on
the Colorado river. He was as
sisted by Fathers Juan Diaz, JO-
spph M. Moreno and Juan A. Be
reneche. One of these missions,
dedicated to the Immaculate Con-
ception of Mary, was founded near
the intersection of the Gila and
Colorado rivers, at the spot now
occupied by Fort Yuma, and the
other was established nine miles
below on the same bank of the
river. The latter mission was
placed under the protection of the
Apostles Peter and Paul. At first
these missions gave great promise

THE New York Times is among
those Republican journals which
has tried to find its way clear to
supporting the President in all his
devious policies. But the late
demonstrations seem to be too
much for it's stomach, and it retch-
eS thus:
If it is proper for mere newspaper to
to make suggestion to the President, his
attention might be drawn to the proriety of
varying his speeches by humbly entreating
the South to spare us our old flag. Let him
offer, in the interests of conciliation, to pay
the Confederate debt, to build the Southern
Pacific railroad, and to appoint none but
southern statesmen to Office, and then let
him appeal to his southern audiences to
postpone for 4 few years the formal adop-
ton of the flag of the Confederacy. 1t
would be graceful act for the South to
leave us the old flag until the last of Grants
and Sherman's soldiers are under the sod
Since the President himself admits that
these veterans were brave and honest, why
should we not save little slice "a few
crumbs so to speak - of Cancellation for
them, instead of layishing all the concilia-
ton now available upon the South? Of
course, this plea for the old flag will be
called partisan, malignant and brutal; but
such epithets will be unjust. 1t is not die
tated By a fiendish hatred of all Southerners,
or narrow prejudice against surrendering
the fruits of hard won and costly victory.
as it doubtless is, it is an humble
effort to induce the South to respect for
few years longer foolish, though perhaps
natural, fondness for the flag of Saratoga,
New Orleans and Gettysburg.

The Empty Cradle.
Sad is the heart of the mother
Who sits by the lonely hearth,

Sad is the heart of the mother
Who sits by the lonely hearth,
Where never again the children
Shall waken their songs of mirth.
And still through the painful silence,
She listens for voice and tread,
Outside of the beart-there only
She knows that they are not dead.
Here is the desolatc cradle,
The pillow so lately pressed.
But far away has the birding
Flown from the little nest.
Grooming the lullabies over
That once were her babes delight,
All through the misty spaces
She follows its upward flight.
Little she thought of moment
So gloomy and sad as this,
When close to her heart she gathered
Her child for her good night kiss.
She should be tenderly cherished.
Never grief should she know,
Wealth, and the pride of Il princess,
These would mother beStow.
And this is the darling's portion
In Heaven-where she has fled;
By angels securely guarded,
BY angels securely led.
BroOding in sOrrowful silence
Over the empty nest,
Can you not see through the shadows
Why it is all for the best?
Better the heavenly kingdom
Than riches Of earthly crown;
Better the early morning flight,
Than one when the sun is down;
Better an empty ca>ket
Than jewels besmirched with sin;
Safer than those without the fold
Are those who have entered in.

OF success. The Corona Serafca
speaks of the great interest taken
by the Yuma Indians in the teach
ings of the Missionaries not only
as concerned Christian doctrines,
but also in matters of agriculture.
But the missions did not last long.
Through some carelessness of the
soldiers, their horses did consider
able damage to the Indians crops.
The loss not having been prompt
ly made good to them, the Indians
rose against the missions. The
18th of July 1871, which was Sum
day, was the day selected by them
for the execution of their vengean-
ce. To protect the missions there
were only the military command
ante with some twenty soldiers
and some one hundred and fifty
odd residents, all of whom were
attending mass. For this reason
no effective resistance could be
made to the Indians and it was
easy for them to effect a general
slaughter among those assembled
in the two churches. Only the
women and children were left
alive, to be carried into captivity.
Father Garces had first visited
the Colorado river in III. He
was we'll received by the Yuma
Indians, to whom he preached of
religion and of matters concerning
their temporal welfare. After pass
ing few days with them he pro-
ceeded down the river to the Gulf.
In 1774 Captain Juan B. de Ansa
commanded an expedition that
opened a road from Tucson, along
the Gila and to Monterey in Cali
fOrnia. Father Garces accompani,
ed this expedition and another
one to San Francisco in the follow
ing year. From the accounts Civ
en- by Garces of his observations
among the tribes on the Gila and |
lower Colorado, their number was
computed as exceeding $4,000.

will recall Podsnap in all his glory
1t is Il great comfort to have some.
thing that never made us blush.
From frequent reading of unfa-
vorabie comparisons between our
institutions and customs and those
of foreign nations we are coming
to believe that our causes for
blushing are unlimited. Our gov
ernment, our presidents. our con-
gress, our finances, our elections,
our social customs, Oureverything
are held up in disparaging con-
trast to the same things of the old
world, and our supply of bushes
is constantly kept drained. Thank
Heaven, thegreat deliver in Penin-
sular mud has at last thrown up
something which doesn't call for
bushes on the face of an American.
Increase ii: Bless you, yes. Give
it carte blanche for increase! It's
a brand new idea, though, this
"bIushing" way of putting it.
And suppose some fellow should
follow up the idea and get bill
through Congress to empty the
national treasury in the purchase
of white elephants. on the ground
thatthese animals had never called
the blush to the face of an Amer
Jean? 1t don't make any differ
ence; it's al. right; bring them on;
that is, increase the army, by all
means, and spare our bushes. The
great American nation is tired OF
blushing. We have built up the
greatest nation under the sun, Oui
of nothing; in the sciences and
mechanics and Industries we are
in the worlds van; by our volun-
teer armies we brought to an emf
one Of the greatest rebeIlions ever
known (and the back bone of that
rebellion was West Point educa-
ton and officers; we are blessed
with as beautiful and happy homes
us any on earth; we are not a.
much oppressed by hard times a>
other nations; but notwithstand
ing all, some internal snob is for
ever calling on us to blush; and il
General Mcclellan has got any
thing, which is proof against
bushes, by all means increase it.

the panacea. There may be mer
cenary persons who desire an in

disbursements. and sutlershipS
and openings for majors and brig

part of us will now call for an in

The Pima Indians.
PIMA V1LLAG Es, Oct. SIT.

PIMA VILLAGES, Oct. s. III.
The Pima and Maricopa Indians
are returning to their villages to
avoid the damp and cold of the
bottoms. Quite a number of them
are away from the reserve hunt
ing, working for others &c. to make
good in part the loss sustained by
being unable to raise fall crops.
These are mostly in Salt River
valley.
The Mormons are endeavoring
to convert the Pimas on Salt river.
One proselyte consented to be i'm
mersed on condition that his body
should receive comfortable ap-
parel while his spirit was being
clothed with the spotless garment
of (Mormon) Righteousness.
The usual annual tiswin jubilee
has come and gone, the assault on
the supply being so vigorous as to
make the siege of short duration.
A few sore heads, a general inacs
liyity and a large number of used
up horses are the results. r.

The following extracts are taken
from Col. Hiram c. Hodges new
book, "Arizona As It Is:"
Arizona is divided into six counties, to
wit: Yuma, Mohate, Yavapai, Maricopa,
Pinal, and Pima
Yuma County is in the southwestern part
OF the Territory, and has population of
2,2l2: The populations given OF the towns
and counties are taken from the Territorial
census of July, 1876.
The county town of Yuma County Is
Yuma, which was formerly known as Ari-
zona City. Its population is about 1,5OO.
Yuma is situated on the east or left bank of
the Colorado river, at its junction with the
Gila river. II is It's miles above the head
of the Gulf of California, eight miles above
the line of Lower California, and twenty
miles above the Sonora line. SIS
Yuma is the principal shipping and COM
mercial town of the Territory, being the
point where large portion Of the goods
and merchandise entering the country is
unloaded from the steamers of the Colorado
Steam Navigation Company From Yuma
they are shipped by wagon to Phoenix,
Florence, Tucson and the many min ing
camps in Central and Southern Arizona:
that taken to the northern part of the Ter
ritory is taken by river steamers to Castle
Dome, Ehrenberg, Aubrey, Camp Mohave
and Hardyville, and thence to Prescott,
Wickenburg and other interior towns, and
elsewhere as required ~
At Yuma is the, Territorial prison, now
partly completed and, when fully completed
according to plans and specifications, will
be model Of strength, utility and architect.
ural beauty. Among the other important
buildings are the county court house, Jail,
public school house, Catholic school house,
two hotels, PRINTING OFFICE and large
number of fine stores, saloons and private
dwellings. The SENTINEL, wide awake
newspapers is well established at Yuma and
thoroughly devoted to the interests of the
county and Territory.
The Southern acificraiiroad of California
will cross the river at Yuma, which will add
much to the prosperity Of the place, con-
meeting it with San Diego on the Pacific,
and with all the great cities of the Missis:
sippi and Atlantic States.
Castle Dome Landing is 80 miles above
Yuma, at which an active little town is
springing up, and from which point the
Castle Dome mices, Is miles distant are
supplied. A store and postofice is kept
here by William P. Miller, who has also
smelling furnace in successful operation.
Large quantities of argentiferous galena
and copper ores are shipped from Castle
Dome to San Francisco. Population about
80. lo
Ehrenherg is brisk town 100 miles
above Yuma, and next to Yuma the largest
shipping town on the Colorado river. The
population is about 500. Most of the freight
for Prescott, Wickenburg and the country
east is transhipped at this town. There is
A public school, Catholic church, general
stage offices of the California and Arizona
Stage Company. Several fine stores and
private dwellings may be found here
Col. Hodge might have added,
hat the Texas Pacific will also
ross here, connecting us with
San Francisco and affording salu-
AIRY competition against the San
Diego monopoly!

Increase the army.

General Geo. B. Mcclellan is a
regular Banquo's ghost of d fellow,
and will not down at any bidding.
His late appearance before the
public asa gubernatoria! candidate
in New Jersey might naturally
be thought a sufficient sensation,
but he adds to his atractiveneSs
by appearing in an article in the
October Harper ), entitled: "The
Regular Army of the United
States" The attractions of the
General are too diotracting. While
we would fain fix our undivided
attention upon him i'm i.is first
appearance on any Stage as a can.
didate for governor, our unsatisfied
gaze is called to his army article.
"'TWas ever thus" but at the
same time it is extremely provok-
ing. We wanted to contemplate
thelitile general as il gubernatOrial
candidate among the Jerseymen,
and how he would make things
Warm for the opposition there,
and how he would, perhaps, go to
China and start earthworks and
sap and dig and mine his way
right through the earth to the
governors chair in Trenton. But
right on the heels of his nolnina-
ton comes his regular army effu-
sion and commands the passing
notice of him who would be con-
versant with current literature.
General Met lelIan is an admirer
Of the regular army of the United
States and advocates its increase.
He doesn't say exactly where the
increase should stop, but roundIy
suggests thai 40, 900 or more would
be comfortable limit to the num-
ber. Theargument that Il standing
army would endanger the liberties
of the people, is easily disposed of
by him. If the student of history
can point 10 one case where the
liberties of any people have been
endangered by standing army,
Gen. Mcclellan can point to others
where their liberties were pre-
served and property pr ptecled.
And while he doesn't fOotnOte this |
statement with an observation that
the same arr rsument would hold |
in reference Othe effect of strych.
nine on human life, there is moth.
ing in his paper to forbid the
reader from making such adden-
dunn. The General continues that
"he who understands the history
Of our regular army must regard
it with pride and satisfaction as
one of the chief ornaments of The
nation; as school Of valor, self
denial, obedience and patriotism,
and as an institution that has never
called the blush to the face of an
This latter is a very
strong point in the argument and
brings up tinge of regret that
the writer has heretofore devoted
so much of his time to the sword.
