ARRIvALOF GOV. FREMONT.

Gov. Fremont and party arrived in Prescott on Sunday last. The public buildings were gaily decked with flags, as well as many private houses. On rope stretched from Masonic hall across Gurlcy street was suspend ed large banner, on which was in scribcd the words, |" Welcome tO Me Pdtlfiader." The old governors man. sion, now the residence of Judge Fleury, and once the residence of Gov. Goodwin and afterwards of Gov Mccormick, was notably trimmed with flags and floral decorations Owing to the fact that the arrival oc- cured on Sunday, the firing of q salute and other manifestations of welcome that were in preparation had to be omitted, but a large crowd gathered at various points along the lire, who welcomed the general by cheering.

COZ. WOOLSEY.

We have received the following meritcd tribute to Col. Woolsey, from a prominent and influential Indiana farmer" The letter is dated Indian apolis, September g:
 EDITOR Misunderstanding a lively interest in the affairs of your territory, I can but wish for the success of those who are working in the interest and welfare of the people. You are strik- ing q keynote in advocating the cleo tion of Col. Woolsey to congress. He is the right and proper man to guide your ship of state. have known him long and well, and a trucr, more noble and self-Sacrificing gentleman, in the interests of his fellow man and his country, I have never known. With such men at the front, our coun. try will soon resume her former pres tige. Your territory will soon take her position among her sister states q second constellation of the western hemisphere.
 I am glad indeed to note the fact that the people are pushing to the front men of such stamina as Col. Woolscy. He is man of the people and for the people, whose great activ- ity and energetic habits of life will become more available and influential than any other living person. Taken from the solid avocation of farmers life, dnd without any political aspira- tions, he filled seat in your first legislature with credit to himself and honor to his constituents, and it was not until then that the latent power of the man became known. With a power sufficient to sway sceptres and build empires lying dormant in the common avocatiors of life, bow well and wisely was he made president of your senate? He should be as wisely selected as your representative to con gress, where his great admin istrative abilities will at no distant day point him out the one to i'll the highest and greatest office in the gift of our peo- pie. Yours, truly,
 INDIANA FARMER.

WAR WITH 4IEXECO-

The Los Angeles Herald, of late date, has a leading article on the probability of war with Mexico, and claims to have private and rclia- ble information which tends in that direction. The article referred to goes on to say that it would not be surprising, in the near future, to see the United States government seize tEe right bank of the Rio Grande, Matamoras and the Northern Nexi- can states Of Chihuahua, Sonora, Du- rango and Zacatecas. That this pro- gramme will be carried out, if con gres looks upon the project favorably they have no doubt whatever, Tn the light of information of a certainly not conclusive but probable character upon which an opinion is based The whole initiative does not lie with Mr Hayes administration, and that is the only drawback to ths carrying out of the project In addition to other in terests named for the acquisition of Mexican territory. by war, is that the railroad interests of this section of country demand it, and that the scheme has the support of large element in the United States who be- lieve in our manifest destiny" Il would afford an opening for immense numbers of our unemployed and dis contented population, and would doubtless prove a stimulus to oui slowly reviving prosperity.
 It is impossible to say what other real excuse can be given for the Seiz urc of our neighbor's territory than tC further the schemes of unprinciplet parties. We have been at peace witt Mexico for many years, and there i! at the present time amicable relation. existing between the two republics We candidly believe that the posses sion of these Mexican states bl our government would be not only beneficial to that country but also tC this government, yet its acquisition should be cOnsummated in the mos legitimate maRneE-by purchase. an' not by force. We place very little Tc ialce in the Hcrdld's article

GEN, SHERMAN, m a recent letter to Gen.

He is also of tine opinion that every mile of new railroad south and east of Yuma will be important in increas- ing trade and intercourse with our neighbors in Mexico, and thus cause friendly relations and secure peace on that border
