IN recent issue we gave brief his
tory of the celebrated Bailey Springs OF
North Alabama, which has excited so
much interest and inquiry that a few
additional notes will, perhaps, be not
out of place. The springs are five in
number, and are situated in rocky
glen that begins on the crest OF horses
shoe hill, sinks between the two extrem-
tiles of the hill to level with the foot
of their steep ends; thence the water
descends in q succession of cascades over
beds of Jagged rock to Shoal creek, dis
tant half a mile. This creek, by the
way, is most beautiful and picturesque,
presenting views of sunsets in the water
with perpendicular vine clad cliff,
ruined bridges, smiling fields and feam-
ing cascades, with now and then q deep,
still pool, at whose bottom the fish can
be seen floating as in an invisible trans.
parent medium. Upon the summit of
the horseshoe shaped hills are placed the
hotel and outbuildings, comprising in ali
nearly two hundred rooms. The BALI
room and psrlors are in the central or
main hotel building, and are excellently
suited to their several purposes. The
dIning-room is long. shady building
detached, fitted with fue wire Melted
doors and windows TO exclude insects.
A fine kitchen garden, large fOcks and
herds, extensive plantations, magnificent
vineyards, and wood and iron shops
make the institution self-supperting.
Visitors from every state in the Union
pstronize Bailey Springs, and it Is diff.
cult to determine whether its popularity
as q resort of pleasure, or its wonderful
cures of diseases have been most efectual
in securing it its present immense pat
ronage. The various railroads connect
ing with the Memphis & Charleston
(which delivers passengers at the hotel)
give special Iates, which enable the Wis
itor to go and return very cheaply, and
we learn that the proprietors, Messrs.
Ellis & Co., have placed their price of
board at very low figures.

The Use of Ash Elements.

We are indebted to the courtesy of Dr.

that we can produce g better hay than

THE ALDO, CARBON SIGHT.

There is an attempt TO improve and
enrich the ordinary coal-gas, and unlike
all previous attempts, iu this case solid
substance is used. IRE process con-
sists in the employment of substance
called albo-carbon, which is the solid
residum of creosote. This material is
nodded into the form of candles, which
in large lamps are placed in s metallic
receiver near the gas>burner. The albo-
carbon is warmed by the heat of the
burning gas, the heat being transmitted
to the receiver by metallic conductor.
Upon the carbon being raised to the
necessary temperature it volatilzes and
as the cosl-gas passes over it to the bur
ner its vapor becomes mingled with the
gas and greately rises its illuminatory
power. OF course when first lighted the
coal-gas only is burned, and in q few
minutes, the slbo-carbon communicates
its enrichening vspor to it. But very
slight alteration is necessary to fit the
gas fitting for the new invention. The
albo-carbon light has been tried at the
London aquarium, and found to afford g
marked improvement upon the ordinary
system of gas illumination. 1t appears
two hundred burn rs were arranged with
the new light, and these took the place
OF FIVE hundred ordinary gas lights pre-
viously in use. Tie Illuminating effect
was said to be doubled, and an additional
advantage as regards economy, the reduc-
ton of cost arising from the smaller
quantity OF gas consumed. According to
my Information. one thousand feet of
ordinary gas will, by the slbo>csrbon
appliance, give as much illumination as
three thousand cubic feet without it,
and the cost of the material, to produce
this result is only about forty cents.

TEzE INDIAN SCARE.

During the past week or two much
has been said by individuals and the
several papers Of the territory, about
the danger of an outbreak of the
San Carlos Indians, the likelihood of
our having a bloody Indian war
within our limits, SC. The Enter
prise, of Prescott, especially has been
exercising its bowels of compassion
over the impending and bloody war
that was sure TO follow the escaping
OF the painted warriors from the res
crvation. We are inclined to think
the Enterprise made an extra effort
to get up little sensation and inter
esting reading matter for its sub
scribcrs. While it is among the
possibilities that we may experience
again in this territory a cruel and
bloody war with the Apaches and
kindred tribes it is not at all probable,
and therefore it is very foolish and
unwisc for our citizens to give play
cool and better judgements be dor
mant Especially is it unwise and
almost criminal for the newspapers
of the territory to give vent to feel
in-s and thoughts originating from
an oyerdrawn picture of what might
BE-. Arizona has been kept on the
back ground of rapid settlement
many years from the fact of the hos
tility of the Indian toward the white
settler and the fear Of danger from
the red man when no fear ought to
have been entertained. In the inter
est of peace and of commercial pros
perity within the limits Of cur now
rapidly growing territory, every good
citizen and periodical should refrain
from giving one word of alarm eX-
cept where there is or may be a real
necessity for so doing. With our
numerous military posts and camps,
and our well organized aud disci-
plined army, under the able COM
mand of General Wilcox, the De
partment commander, the outbreak
and murderous attempts of the In
dams we apprehend would be Of
short duration. Let not tile wheels
of commerce be clogged and the
stream OF increasing capital be
turned back upon itself by this in
judIcious and unnecessary cry Of In
dian war.

failed to invalidate the lease. To
this end the Denver e Rio Grande

INCORPORATE.

Now is the time for incorporation
OF the town while it is young and
growing. This should have been at
tended to last session of the legisla-
ture. There should be hands, careful
hands, to train up the town in the
way it should CO." to care for its
streets, its squares and the town
property generally. There is already
an evil making itself painfully and
obnoxiousIy apparent We refer to
tue cemetery. Already buildings are
going up about it. The time will
come not long hence when II will Re
in the very midst of our town unless
removed. A well-flled grave yard Is
highly productive Of disease, poison
ing the water of wells in its immedi-
ate vicinity and loading the atmos-
phere, to some extent, with its death
ly vapors The cemetery should be
at least two miles beyond its present
location. This removal cannot well
be enforced until we are an incorpo-
ration. Fine water works could
very readily be constructed for the
town, but we must be an incorpora-
ton in order to properly protect the
citizen and give assurance to com
pany willing to bring the water in, in
proper shape.
There are many other projects and
privileges that would accrue from
incorporation, such as the abatement
of nuisances, etc, but let these suffice
as examples.
The town is here to stay and the
more beautiful and attractive we can
make it, the more Will it be chosen
as a place of residence and therefore
the more will its business be in
creased. Town organization is best
handled by means Of incorporation

TRAVELLERS who have recently been
in the southern part of the territory
Inform us that If ANYTHING Phoenix Is
improving more rapidly than Tucson,
and that the improvements of Phoenix
are more permanent in their charac
ter than those being made in Our
f'ancient capital. '-Enterprise
The above is deserved compli-
ment and we are pleased to note this
friendly spirit Of the Enterprise to-
wards our growing town. Until
about one year past Phoenix was but
little thought or talked about COM
pared with the thought and talk
given to Tucson and Prescott. Now
Phoenix is being considered by many
OF the best and most liberal minded
business men of the territory as the
coming toxin or city Of our young
Commonwealth The time is not far
distant when Phoenix will be without
doubt the leading commercial, edu-
cational and political center in the
territory. THE HERALD has advanced
this thought from time TO time, until
we find many others are now agreeing
with lis. We have the decided
natural advantages of other towns,
and then our business men are more
wide-awake and enterprising and
manifest a stronger public spirit
