 We believe that large town wilk spring into existence, and bepermanent, near Gila Bend. It will be the, nearest point that the railroad will come to Prescott, and the country between the t%e points presents no obstacles of a5serlous el&EacteI te.,l,reS vent the opeaiig df, pne'of iGe ,Rast 'wsgon routes in the T'tTitofy. It is estimated by those familiar with the new proposed route that Gila Bend can De reached in l25 miles.
 DEPARTED.-Those people who hayel,een imprisoned, andaot!ierS who were called here as witnesses from the Little Colorado, de parted homeward to-day. It is true that all, prisoners alike with witnesses, have been subjected to much inconvenience and eX= pense still they have reason e0 fcefprOud that the matters pending have terminated 50 favorably to them, and they should return home, forget old sores and former differences, and trv. in the future, to be law abiding and honorcd citizens of Iavapai county.
 THEATRE-The play of Cricket on the Hearth" will be produced at the Prescott Theatre this evening. Those who are to take part compose the hest talent in town, and we can safely recommend the enter, tainment as one we'll worthy of patronage. The proceeds are intenued as a cOmpli- mentary benefit to NIT. Master9on. who has assiSted the association in painting scenery, etc. and refused any compensation whatSo- ever. Let there be d general turn-ort.
 Mohave county has not a single mail. That from Prescott was first drawn oil, then fol- lowed the Ehrenberg and Aubrey line up the river. and now we hear that the horse back mail from St George has petered, leav- ing large county, full of people and wealth without single mail facility. This speaks bad for some party or parties. We blame cheau contractors who know little or noth= inu about inc expense of carrying mails In tbis Territory for the outrage to which these people are being subjected. How long this state of things is to last Is a question.
