Intemperanee Among San Carlos In
 dians.

4 conscientious inspection of the condition and whereabouts of the San Carlos Indians we fear would discover some facts that would pain and grieve the inspector if he were man sincere ly anxious for the welfare and progress of those Indians. We remarked last week, in connection with he visit of the Chief Eskiminzin, that sn unfor- tunate condition existed in some re- spects. There was a time when the In dians sought out and destroyed l tiz- win stills, arrested the makers of tiz- win, put them in the guard house and watched over them while there; now tiz-win is freely made and as freely drank, and much drunkenness prevails among the Indians as we are informed by Chief EskiminZin and other peo pie Many Indians are of about Apache. Globe City, McMillenvIlle. near McDowell and other places. At Globe and McMillenville they commit small thefts that tend to aggravate the losers and pOriends trouble We do not apprehend any general outbreak by these Indians any more than we do of the Pimas, Papsgos or Yumss, but their numbers being great, their prox- imity to mining and other settlements and their profigate character unite in arousing s fear that much trouble by individual conduct may ensue. The true welfare of ihe Indians, no less than that of citizens of Arizona, de bends 10 8 considerable extent upon the good character-aye, improved character-of the Indians On San Car los reservation. Chief Eskiminzin full ly understands this He is much dis satisfied with their free use of the de- moraliZing tiZ-win, and is disinclined to longer remain on the reserve. It is not too late, we believe, to arrest this evil. The Indian authorities cannot do the Indians nor the public better service than to put forth an immediate and successful effort in this behalf. It is no pleasant contemplation 10 think of the growing incompetence among those Indians. Arizona is prospering
 and has prospered with wonderful "a
 pidity since the Indians have been
 gathered on that reserve. Civilized
 men are dangerous enough when craz. ed with drink, but the fury of the un
 tutored savage is more uncomfortable and more dangerous to the public wei fare.
 I We regret the necessity Of these re
 marks, but the necessity seems great
 enough to require them. If we have been misinformed as to the extent oi the evil under consideration, we shall be most happy to learn il and give the
 fact publicity.

Tucson and Guaymas Railway.

The San Francisco Postis apt to Zen. thuse " on railway matters, but the fol. lowing from it looks as though it were based on reliable facts:
 2y letters from Boston we learn that the bonds of the Guaymas and Tucson Railroad Company have been placed in that market The Mexican Con. gress long since granted & concession for the Mexican portion of lhe route, and the Territorial Legislature has chartered the Arizona portion. Gov ernor Mariscal, of Sonora, has inter- ested himself to push this enterprise. Boston capital has almost entire con- trol of the Santa GerIrudes and other rich mines in the district of Altar, through which the Guaymas road must pass, and the same parties are also be- coming interested in the upper Santa Cruz valley, especially the San Xavier and Calabases properties. The bring ing of eastern capital into that region must rapidly accelerate its develop ment.

Movements of Governor Fremont
 and Party.

They left San Francisco September 24, and arrived at Los Angeles next day; stopped at St. Charles hotel; was rendered 8 serenade; returned thanks for the mark of esteem shown him, and said be would remain few days and be happy to take his friends by the hand individually At nine o'clock p. m. the serenade came off The Gener- al was introduced 10 the audience by Judge Carrillo-" friend of the old days" Remarking on the remarkable change in the city and surroundings in thirty years, the General said there was one thing which had undergone no change, and that was a personal kindness and hospitality which he found now as he had experienced il thirty years ago" The band then play ed another air, and the crowd called " vociferously fer Mrs. Fremont. When " the Jessie of the campaign of '56 now a gray haired matron-made " her appearance, some enthusiastic in " "dividual in the audience called out, three cheers for the daughter of the !" great Senatorr" After the cheers, the General returned thanks for the cordial reception which had been " given to his wife Referring to the expression, the daughter of the great " Senator he said she was not only the <" daughter of great Senator, but of a " man who had always been tlIe friend of California" After another air the crowd dispersed and "citizens en- "tered the hotel to pay their respects to |" Mr. and Mrs. Fremont" The party Jeff on the 27lh for Yuma.
 The foregoing is condensed from ex tended and numerous items and re- ports in the Los Angeles papers, to which we will add few more senten- ces from the Herald of that city, viz:
 General Fremont is a man of barely medium height, of spare frame, of dis tingue appearance and an eye and ar which denote the nervous tempera- ment His face is surrounded by 8 thin fringe of whisker which is now unmisiakably gray, though in earlier years it was probably as black as the ravens wing We feel like extending to the Pathfinder ' and his family a hearty welcome 10 Los Angeles, and we hope their residence in Arizona may prove an agreeable one. General Fremont has been in his day the beau ideal of frontiersman and he will find no difficulty in resuming the role.
 4 private dispatch of yesterday says Governor Hoyt had gone out 10 meet General Fremont and party, and that they would reach Prescott this, Sstur- day, evening.

Prospects of Railway East of Yuma.

Wednesday, Ex-Governor Stafford and Charles Hudson, Esq, left here for Yuma to attend a railway meeting about this day. They are Directors, with David D. Colton, Charles F.. Crocker and David Neahr, of the Southern Pacific Railway Company, recently incorporated under territorial law with capital of twenty millions of dollars, to build railway in Arizo- na. This meeting is the first one of the new incorporation, and its object is to fully organize it for future opera tions. Taken in connection with the purchase of building material and cer- tain other local movements, early con- strucIicn in Arizona must be inferred.
 September 2S, Engineer Hood tele- graphed from San Francisco to Tucson that he would want sixteen water bar rels and that he would be here about the fourteenth instant The Los An geles Herald lately said:
 The Southern Pacific Railway Com pany are in earnest in their intention to push across Arizona forthwith. Large shipments of ties are on their way to Wilmington, to be used in bridging the distance that separates Yuma from Tucson.
 On this the 5. F. Alta remarked:
 So far as we have been able to learn, no final arrangements have yet been made for building the road in AriZo na, bu, the company has such work under consideration The route will probably pass 100 miles north of Tue son.
 Referring to the same thing, the $. F. Post said
 The first intention was 10 build only to Msricopa Wells, 191 miles east from Yuma. but it is now determined to continue construction until Tucson is reached.
 Following which. the Sentinel last week said of the Atlas remark:
 We differ from the latter opinion. If the Alta man knew the topography of that country as well as we do, he would differ too.
 And THE CITIZEN remarks that pa- per which makes such an improbable statement is liable to err as to there be- ing no " final arrangements for build ing the road in Arizona"
 That most careful of San Francisco papers, The Bulletin, said in leading editorial on the 2Sth of September, on the advance of the railway towards the heart of Mexico:
 Under Territorial charter from Ar izona still in force, they are about tO re sume operations and push the road through that Territory. Already a very large collection of material has been made Ties have been going south, and rails have been collected, so that now the material is pretty well concentrated for the construction of say POO miles of the road by way of the Gila river. The road is not only reaching out for the great mines of Ar izona. but every mile pushed in that direction is an additional mile towards the heart of Mexico.
 There would seem to be hardly & doubt but the long wished-for road will soon be under construction, and that when it advances from its Yuma base it will not stop short of the vicin- ity of Maricopa Wells.

The Aiurderers of Adams and
 Finley.

Walter L. Vail, Esq, came to Tue son last Monday having been in SonorN about three weeks trying 10 secure the murderers of Adams and Finley, on extradition papers issued by Chief Justice French. Mir. Vail Jeff his ranch in company with Mir. Harvey, who was the duly authorized agent to receive the prisoners, and others, soon after it was known that the criminals were in Sonora. They went first to Santa Cruz where the prisoners were arrested, bur got there about three hours after the latter had been started for Msgdalens. Mir Vail is confident that had the prisoners been in Santa Cruz, they would have been turned oyer by the authorities. Upon reach ing Magdalena the Prefect of that town said he could not turn the criminals over without an order from the Gov efnor of the State, but was willing and did give the party full opportunity 10 guard the jail while Vail and Harvey rode to Ures, the Capital, 15o miles, to see Governor Msriscal. The Governor while expressing strong desire 10 accede to the demand made upon him, said he could do nothing without authority from the supreme government of MexIco, and st once sent letter to Mazstlan, 10 be tele- grsphed immediately from there 10 the City of Mexico, asking what he should do in the premises. Over a month must elspse before any reply can be received, so the party returned 10 Ari zons. While they were in Msgdelens it is reported that German, believed to be an American citizen, whose name is supposed to be Norton, was busy ex citing a body of Mexicans to preven ihe removal of the prisoners in tn, event that they should be surrendered and, if necessary, compel their re lease.
 Before closing this article, we desiT, to speak of the action of Messrs. Vsi snd Harvey in this whole matter
 These gentlemen, as is we'll known gre engaged in business that de naands their entire attention and il which they have invested 8 larg, amount of money. They have had DO whit more interest in the capture O the perpetrators of the deviilsh erin, in Davidson's cafOn, than have gooC citizens had generally, and yet eve since the very day of the murder the have not only given their own time but that of men in their employ, thei horses and wagons, and paid expense cut Of their own pockets. This ha been the case for much over a montl now, and no one will deny that every thing has been done in the straight forward, honorable and energetic wa, in which those gentlemen do every thing they undertake. They are out o pocket some hundreds of dollars ant it seems to us that this money shoult be repaid them either by the Territor. whose agents they were, or else by thr community at large.

4 Non.Paying Mine.

In view of the fact that very exsg- gerated statements have been publish ed relative to the losses by the failure of the San Domingo silver mine in Arizona Territory, the following auth entic list of losers and losses is of in- terest:
 c. 8. AnderSon, San FranciscO.........-sll,00 ,000 John Vaudeville. St. LOuis..-..--...-.--. s,ON Geo. c. Geddes, Los Angeles.....-......... 4..U0 Lieut. D. N. Green, U. S.

T...-.-.---- 6,0OO Experts" who have examined this mine staie that the lode Is not regular formatien." but simply " float rock."
 The above is from & late number Oi the St Louis Republican. We have some familiarity with the mining fail. ures, names or mines and men in Ari. zona, and do not know of any ss given above. There may be San Domingo mine in Arizona, U. c. DeLong, Florence, A. T." and 1T. P. Broad head, Tucson, A. T." but we do not know of any snch nor can we hear oi them or any of them by considerable inquiry.
 Our belief is that some enterpris- ing" newspaper man has perpetrated joke on the old Republican. Another explanation may be this: A certain class of ordinarily sensible people have no sense about mines nor mining opera tions. They will not believe the truth when told, nor invest except upon an exaggerated and false statement. Thus they are an easy prey for sharpers and swindlers, a good many of whom are still alive and doing lively business in St. Loui. and other equally wide awake towns They saw an oppor tunity to conduct 8 mining operation on paper, which would pay them and they conducted it.
 We shall be glad of any correct in formation about the failure of San Domingo silver mine in Arizona Ter ritory," and it's victims. Can't the experts who examined this mine D rise up and give particulars?

spring, he went to the theatre very
much exhausted by long days
fishing on the lake. When the cur

closed the White-haired "trip" still
immersed in his twenty years nap.
Five, ten, twenty minutes passed,
and still he did not waken. The
audience began to grow impatient
and the prompter uneasy. The great
actor doubtless knew what he was
about, bat this was carrying the
''realistic" sort of thing entirely too
far. The fact was that all the time
Jefferson was really sleeping the

L suppressed Lettel

VIM. Simpson, a Republican of
New Orleans, whose honesty and
integrity are Endorsed by such Re
publican statesmen as Gen. Banks
and Representative Conger, Of
Michigan, wrote to the President
last March a letter, in which he
said: ~ ...l ...s.la t-5#ss;
OF course you cannot be personally
conversant with every detail con-
corning your numerous subordi-
mates, and / write, therefore, with
no feeling Of personal animOsity !;
but when l tell you that one of the
members of the Returning Board
demanded and received ten thou
sand dollars before signing the re-
turns, have it from an eye witness
($5, 900 being paid in cash. and 3d.
600 in an obligation, or note,) you
cannot wonder at the disgust of an
honest citizen who has imperiled
his life and given twelve of his best
wears in the defense and service of
his country.
The letter was sent to John Sher-
man, who sent it to Tom Anderson
at New Orleans. Neither of these
men had ''the disgust of an honest
citizen" at such corrupt develop
ments, and being interested in sup
pressing the facts, they of course
tried to hush up Simpson.

The Treasures OF Rotany.

The humblest flower that grows is
really a wonder of the creation.
Whether we view itsimply as tenn
porary part of the vegetable whose
use is the reproduction of the species
proceeding from the plant, but to
form a new race of vegetables, or
whether we look at it as one of those
beautiful creations of bOuntiful
Providence, who, not content with
ministering to our substantial ne
cessities, "hath made all nature
beauty to the eye," still, in either
sense, these gem-spots ofnature form
a delightful subject for the study of
IA contemplative mind. But how
much is this pleasure enhanced, if
we call in the aids of science to as
sist us in examining the more Obvi-
Gus beauties of the vegetable king
dom. It Will then be seen that
every part of the flower, from the
gaudily painted and expanded CO.
rOlIa to the hair-like filament which
serves for its formulation, have all
their obvious and essential functions
to perform. What can be more de-
lightful than to walk with our Crea-
tor in the kingdom of his works ?
The more we study them, the more
we must admire their perfect adapt
alton to the truly gOd-like end of
universal good.
