EGYPT FOR THE EGYPTIANS.

The weil-informed correspondent of the London Times stationed at Cairo, declares that the policy of"Egypt for the Egyptians - he uses the very expression used Tn these columns some days ago-has long been pri- vately advocated but has now defnitel ' been brought before the public in most taking form. "Foreiqn assista1ce,' that is loaning money to the needy Khedive for personal not for national purposes, has given rise to a distinctly national party Egyptian "know-noihingism" Is opposed to all carpet bag rule A1d says the cores pondeni: The Khedive leads the party the Egyptian Chamber of Notables support 1t, the Ulemas are in its favor, and its sue. cess with the natives has been enough tO rally all the principal natives round the Khedivian standard as opposed to the Anglo-French combination.--Ex

Jay Gould, Vanderbilt and other capi talists are coming to Arizona with Gen. Fremont, which of itself indicates. that something is to be done with our mines, so long neglected, to say nothing of railroad enterprises that are to be inag urated and pushed forward. These two important en- terprises which affect the people of this section very materially, are to be put into shape by men who have the reputation of making their money tell.
 Tha Yuma Sentinel intimates that the Prescott people are disposed to be some what sectional toward their neighbors in Maricopa county. Quite the contrary is the case. While Prescott has ever been willing to assist the offspring, the naughty child has been inclined to be unruly and work against our every industry. We nave resources beyond measure and can we'll af- ford the sneers and insults sent out from all the one horse ranch towns down in the Valley nf Death.
 Rev. D. B. Wright, of the Marina Street Church, delivered very convincing and ex- cellent discourse last evening, on theism vs atheism. The Rev. gentleman handled his subject with judgdment ana fairness and inn hard thing 10 prove the existence of Supreme Being who directs the course of the mighty elements of heaven and earth. Hour spaces admitted we would be pleased to lay the sermon before our readers as it is a subject for much thought and has been very clearly and cleverly illustrated by MT. Wright. To-day, the excursionist, we presume, ar rived st Mancopa, where a few of the dIs- satisfied with Prescott would have the Capi- tol of the Territory located, aud the head quarters of the Military established. We are aware that d great influence has been brought to bear on General Mcdowell and others to procure change in our Military Headquarters, and at the same time some or these seemingly friendly gentlemen, are advising 1avapai people 10 love their neigh bors and drop sec,ionalism. There is no sweet milk n those Southern cocoanuts for Northern Arizona. It's all sour ana they will try and feed us on it. We can see through their little game, so transparent, and it will be nipped in the bud.
 RETURNED.-John Rees, Henry Boettcher and Geo. W. Si es returned to-day from a trip to the Northern line of AnzOna and perhaps into Utah. They visited the Ava Supsis in their secluded homes and extend ed their journey to the Big Canyon of the Colorado, where they beheld the river me- andering thr nugh and between those lofty walls fuil 500ofl high. The object of their trip was to find rich mine supposed to ex- ist somewhere north of Prescott. They found the country covered with sand stone any lava with an occasional streak of gran ite. The country does not bear any very strong evidences of beng highly impregna- ted with mineral, however they brought home ore that looKs good and may prove when tested 10 be very rich. They found the country destitute of water aud at one time they expected to go to Davy Joness before finding water. They think that the Hill and Freeman party will encounter great hardships on account of the scarcity ei water.

Cook, of the Stevens dairy ranch, informs us that fa- vorite COW, Roxil, gave birth to male calf 2 fset 51< inches high, measuring feet '19 inches around the girth, 10al inches around the arm and weighing 90 pounds. They have named this little giant Hercules" This is the boss calf in Arizona.
 William Gilson has been appointed Post master at Date Creek, in place of Henry Adams, who was appointed and failed to qualify. we uo nOt believe MT.

It don'T pay to hold such Lucrative offices unless it be. fer the honor.

Mr. Hardy comes from San Fran. cisco. but whether to take part in the con troversy now going on in the Company, oI not, we have no, heard. Ills presence in Prescott just at this time, leads to the sup. position that he comes in the interest oi the Board O. Trustees.
