The Yellow Fever spreading.

The Yellow Fever spreading. ONE HUNDRED AND TWELVE DEATHS IN
 MEMPHIS YESTERDAY.
 Memphis, Sept. 10.-To'day's mortuary re- port is the largest of any day since the fever terInents, of which 24 were colored people. Physicians of the Howard corps report All new cases for the past twenty-four hours. The situation of the city is simply frIghtful.
 Memphis, Teun., Sept. lO.-Dr. Mitchell, Medical Director of the Howard Association, reports over four hundred cases discovered yesterday by physicians under his charge, and says: "While we need medical aid, and would gladly welcome physicians who have had yellow fever, l cannot advise those who are unacclimated to come or to remain here
 The condition of the city grows more des- perate every hour, and new cases are con stantly developing. It is useless, longer, to keep count, as whole families are stricken down within few hours, and the call for nurses is greater than can be supplied. Yes terday, there were about one hundred deaths and three hundred new cases, and the death rate to-day will probably exceed that of any preceding twenty-four hours.
 Jackson, Miss, Sept. l0.-The fever has broken out at several new points in this State, viz: Bolton, Lake, and Lawrence, stations on the Vicksburg IE Meridian railroad, Gill man Station on the New Orleans road and Dry Grove in Hinds county. No abatement in Nicksburg, Holly Springs, Port Gibson or Greenville. At Grenada only three or four persons remain to be attacked.
 New Orleans, Sept: l0.-The weather is clear and mild. The death list includes 26 children seven years of age. From noon to six p. m. yesterday B deaths were reported,

Prescott Free Academy.

The school in this city, between four and
 five years ago, was the only one in the county, and then the maximum attendance
 was not higher than twenty. Now, the number on the register in the Free Acade- my is 163, which is about 50 less than the highest number on the roll, at any one time, during the last three years. The old school building (now the public reading room) was so crowded but part of the pupils were allowed to attend the morning session (the remainder came in the afternoon and the others stayed away) with the exception of the least advanced who were permitted to come twice day; now there are three de- partments and nine grades in the new building and three regular teachers. exclu- sive of the instructor in music. The de- partments are known as the primary, inter- mediate and high school. While attention is paid to the higher branches of education. still the highest endeavor is to impart that instruction to the pupils that will be of the most advantage to them immediately in so- ciety and in business. However, those are fitted for college who desire it.
 The present term commenced on the 2d instant. Thirty new pupils were enrolled. The ages of the males, in the whole institu- tion, range from 6 to 21 years, and of the females from 6 to F years. Last term, the males exceeded the females by about five in number. The longest distance any of the pupils travel, who are classed as local attendants, is Point of Rocks, which is about five miles from the school building. There are other pupils, from different parts of the county, but they board in the city Sc great is the desire tor education that in some instances the pupils may be seen Tn the morning coming out from among the rocks and trees in the distance where their parents are sojourning, temporarily, the pa- rental heads being engaged in chepping wood
 The discipline of the school is excellent; the pupils are marched in and out at recess and noon by taps on small drum; and the classes move by signals with a bell. The large bell on the school building was present made by the principal. It weighs 800 pounds, and was the only largo one in the county until the advent of its rival ou the new court house. The following are the names of the teachers in the Academy: Principal, Mir. NJ. II. Sherman; Intermedi- ate, Miss Lucy II. sherman; Primary, Miss Annie Kethroe; Music, Prof. Neumayer Principal Sherman has just entered upon his fifth year as teacher in this county. The number of school districts in the county is fifteen

A ROAD TO BRADSHAW BASIN.

From present indications the country about the Tiger mine, will within the ensu- Ing six months, have three mills in active operation. The mill Cor the Gro Bonito mine is on its way; MT. Helm, the superin- tendent of the Tiger, has gone to San Fran cisco to arrange for the erection of mill for that mine, with every assurance of success; and the immediate erection of mill upon the Gray Eagle mine is almost a certainty. These mills will give employment to hun dreds of men, and will build up a commu- nifty in that locality, numbering into thous- ands Prescott will be their nearest acces- sible point for the present, and their trade will be valuable one to our merchants and business men. It is estimated road could be built from the Peck direct to the Tiger mine for about five thousand dollars in county scrip; and this road would give that country a good outlet in this direction; would be equally useful to all three of the mines named, and would also answer for the Luke mill, and Bradshaw Basin. This road constructed, the Peck stage line would undoubtedly be continued to the end of the road; would bring that country into almost
 
 give them at least tri-weekly and direct mail, and would draw all the business of that locality in this direction.
 This is a matter of deep interest to our town snd should receive immediate attention. The prosperity of the Bradshaw Basin will in- crease our prosperity here; but we must not expect to profit by it, unless the county of which these people are part, furnishes them the much needed road, so that they can reach us with at least some degree of ease. We ask our business men to wake up on this subject and take the matter in hand. | Urge the Board of Supervisors to act at once, and let's have the road before another three months rolls by.

THE CAMPAIGN OPENED.

Col. Woolsey, who has always been fore
 most in every laudable movement in the
 Territory. whether fighting Indians or fol-
 lowing the peaceful avocations of farmer,
 miner, legislator or mule driver, was the
 first to fire the salute that opened the cam
 paign. On his visit to Pinal, where every
 thing is solid for him, he made the opening speech. Davis follows, from Mobave. Ste
 vcns never speaks, and, virtually, the for
 mer are the only two candidates in the field, as tour" Campbell is so little thought
 of that he will, undoubtedly, 'drop on himself" and retire from the fight with the glory and knowledge that he subsidized two - and Is now an older and wiser man than he was three months ago when, without solicitation, he tried to force him. self upon free and independent people
 He was afraid that such men as Col. Head, E. J. Cook, J. F. IIargrave, Hon. T. J. But Ter and many others we might appropriate ly mention, would come forth at the call of the people and shut his wind of. Now was his time or never, as sectional prejudices are passing away. He came out without solici- tation, and will retire in like simple man. ner. Mir. Campbell has built store in Prescott, with the assistance of Mr. Butfum. 1t vas built with the good money thrown into his pockets by an industrious class of Arizona pioneers, for wares and merchan- disc purchased from him, with a Dutch mans one per cent. MT. Campbell came to Arizona with not much more than many
 others who have done equally as much for the Territory as has the Hon. John C.. What his claims arc upon the people we, as do all others, who are not looking at his greenbacks, fail to see. It cannot be for the Indians that he has sent to their chap
 py hunting grounds;' ;' it cannot Do for the quartz mills that Ee has erected; it cannot be for the money he has given for charitable purposes; it cannot be for the great talent he possesses, for that is wanting. Then, VIC conclude, it must be for nothing else tEan to gratify great desire that he has to become, all at once, martyr for the peo- pie of the Territory, or the salary to which a Delegate is entitled. The people will bear US out when we state that he is hardly mentioned as liable to be elected, and hard ly person believes that he will carry his own town.
 Quite different tale can be told of Col. Woolsey. Never a hungry man went from his door without food. Those who needed assistance to follow Indians, for depredations and robberies committed, found him ever ready for the march. He has always ex- pressed the greatest confidence in the ulti- mate success and psosperity of the Terri tory. Arizona is his adopted country; he has lived within its borders for IS years; his heart is with the general welfare of the whole Territory and no man could be se- lected who would work with that yigor and earnestness which will be the self-will of Woolsey, our next Delegate.

THE PENNEY EXPOSURE.

The exposure of the scheme, by which a
 couple of bank presidents, in San Francisco
 undertook to compel Senator Sargent, Con,
 gressman Page aad Wm. B. Carr to pay the
 fraudulent debts of Geo. NJ. Pinney, the
 defaulting paymaster's clerk, discloses one
 of the most damnable frauds that has lately
 come to light. The letters of Carr and Sar- gent, in the Bulletin of the End inst, con-
 tain the most satisfactory evidence of their entire innocence; and also show the mach nations of these presidents, which are, in their nature, the vilest and most villainous that any civilized men could be guilty Of They deliberately planned, with the assis- tance of their tool Pinney, and the aid of the San Francisco Chronicle, to either ruin the reputation of these gentlemen or con- pei them, in fear of it, to make good Pin ney's frauds, in which they did not share, and with which they had no connection They brought Pinney back from exile, by stories of his wife's intimacy with Carr, and aroused his feelings of revenge. They met him at Sacramento, furnished him with plans and false contracts, which Pinney was told would have to be fastened on Carr, and then by libel, perjury and forgery pro- ceeded, through the courts and press, to blacken these gentlemen, and this all to secure few paltry dollars. The highway man who lies in wait for his unsuspecting victim, Is moral king compared with these fellows, We are heartily glad that MT. Sargent who was ono of the few statesmen in Congress, and warm and efficient friend of our whole coast, was successful in ac- so much evidence of his entire innocence, and in exposing this fraud. We congratulate both him and his friends md predict for him greater popularity with
 Inc generous people of Califofnis than he las ever before enjoyed.

What Davis Said,

We are requested by Hon. 4. E. Davis to say that the synopsis of his speech at Hack berry, as reported In yesterdays Enterprise is incorrect in this, that he did not say that both Woolsey and Campbell were opposed to the Free School System, and gave theIr votes to defeat it." What he did ssy was that "Mr. Woolsey voted against it from first to lasts tkat Mir. Woolsey also voted against the compulsory edleatien bill, and so did NIT. Campbell.r He also said that Camp bell voted against Judge Dunn's bill to divide the school fund amopg the churches, and that Woolsey voted for It, and Stevens worked for it in tho lobby. When the present school law was adopted Campbell voted for it.
