Dear Gus, could you behold the tears

So lonely now to-day:
Thy sisters miss thee ia their home,
they weep. and well they may.
Onr tears will mingle at thy grave
For one we love 81 well:
Wen lit our hearts IN praise TO God
He docth ali things well.

Brave EGitor.

Aside from being one Of the best editors in Arizona, Judge Hackney of the Silver Belt, is very brave one, fnr in his paper of tie 13 h, he adversely criucises that great warrior and uinnis- cIent sJstesman-Gen. ". T. Sherman And here Is the way he does IL:
 Gen. Sherman was recently in Ari- zona, SAW little of il, and swallowed all that WAS told him by parties in I-TeSted in having Ihe Indians placed under military management, as true, and gave currency 10 their prejudice through the agency of newspaper in terviews The General also grayely informs the Secretary Of War that Ari- ZOna ls threatened with an Indian war, and he, wIth apparent sang fruid, dish es this bOsh and Seis il up as one of the convincing reasons why Congress should augment the army. Arzona Is interested in denying the statement Sue is just now feeling the influence ot the tide of immigration. The report from the commanding officer uf the army that he IS apprehensiye If an Ie- dian war here, If npt shown to be without foundation, will turn hundred> f persons in other and less favored directions, tO tbe deiriInent of Ihe ma terial interests of ArIZon2
 Gen. Sherman, on tHe Sd in>Lant In d cnmnuuIcatIoG to the joint cOmmi-- sion ou tue transfer of tue Indian Bu- Teau to the War Department among other things, quite as illogical, says " With reference 10 the proposition ol the Inriian Bureau tU arm yuung buck as suldiers O. policemen, iIe idea Wa unadvisable and simply arming bli- ter enemy"
 Thls to an ArizOnan. where the ef- ticiency Of buck soldiers is SD well established, will have q tendency C cause Uucharilabie remarks, and Der haps even question the Generals sau ily.
 IL is feared Ina, ;he General simply writes and says what he wishes were true rather than that which Is true.

The Silver Aqitation.

THE CITIZEN has heretofore eIpres- sed the hope that Congress would pun ish the NstIonal Banks which decline to receive silver coin on equal terms with gold and greenbacks, and already bill has been introduced looking to that end. The Philadelphia Bank have refused to join the New York city concerns in the repudiation of silver, and Furzey's Progress avs the better judgment of the most enlIgh,- ened financial authorities of New 1ork-such men as August Belmont being cited as an eIample-is that the New York banks made a serious mis- take in determining 10 establish dis tincIiOn between gold and silver de pOsiIs afler resumption. They will eventually discover that the free use of silver will be of vital consequence to themselves, ss we'll as to all the other banking institutions of the country, in any attempt that may be made to es- tablish and maintain specie payments.
 In lhis connection, the Cincinnati; Commercial remarks: If we use silver II will drive out gold, say all the pre- tenders to the science of finance, who assume that there is but one metal that Is real money. They never mention that France has $575. .GOO,0OO in lawful silver money, and that she has in sd- ditiOn more gold coin than any other nation of the earth.

4 New Orleans dispatch of Decem- Der ,. says un that evening mass meeting, composed mainly of influcn- ,ial citizens, Was held at the Varieties Theatre, and adopted resolutions ex- pressing ID the most eloquent ana em. phatic manner the gratitude of the city for the aid extended by various sec tiOns during the prevalence of the vel low fever. and denOuncing those wick ed men who would again, for selfish ends, arouse the clamurs of sectional dlscord wlich these generous overflow has tended lu allay forever. They con- tinue: We declare as our unauImOu. sentiment, with unaffected sincerity oi grateful hearts, that no difference of political creed can weaken, and DO evils oi designing politicians sever the tics which bind U, by most sacred and tender memories iG bonds of q national brotherhood, one and indis- soluble"

McCor mick replied in very happy way, from which we make this extract:
 In wide field of competition, and under some disadvantages, We have received, in proportion 10 the number of our exhibits, more awards than any other nation participating in the Ex- hibiiIon.
 The Gazette says the names of all who contributed 10 the subscription for the purchase of the bronzes will be inscribed in richly bound volume, which will be presented to the Commis- sioner.General.
