LETTER FROM ALEXANDRA.
Mines. Buildings. Silent, Fremont, Delegate
 Campbell and Others

ED. MINER: This sleepy, deserted camp is rapidly reTiying. The sound of the ham mer and saw of inc carpenter are agaIu heard ih the land. Several buildings are being erected for business purposes and lots being graded of to receive more. Houses long vacant are being overhauled, repaired, ined and papered. Our stores are receiving large stocks of goods in all ticipstion of the prospective demand. Three well stocked stores are al present located here and rumors are rife of more coming Though but few men are al present work ing in the mines, every one seems impressed with the idea of a nearby lively future
 Mir. Rutherford, the Superintendent of the Prince and Warrior Companies, has erected neal office OF the dump, and MI Gobin Is opening up the mines in view of ali possible contingencies.
 The lessees of the Tuscumbia mine are taking out large quantities of hlgh grade ore and have large and well defined ledge developed. This mine, formerly but little known, is destined to high rank in the list of mining properties of the Pacific Coast
 Much indignation is felt and expressed al the conduct of our Delt ..e In Congress and his connection with certain charges against Judge Charles Silent, before the Department of Justice at Washington; for the Judge, with the assistance of Governor Fremont, has certainly accomplished more for the substantial benefit of the Territory than all the Hassayampa Campbells who ever lived.
 A certain attachee of our military estab- Iishment, party entirely aside though sub- ordinate Co our civil system, is also max ing himself prominent and monstrously odious, in this affair, born of jealousy and pred n malevolence. There can certainly be no law in the land prohibiting a civil officer from engaging in other business AsIde from his office; if there be such law tben it is violated every day all oyer the country. There are, however, many prece- dents on record where army officers have | got into trouble, and in some cases have ] shared the fate of the much sung Captain Jinks, for meddIing with civil affairs. Space Is too limited for full discussion of the merits or rather demerits of the case, suffice it to say, if the accused are actualed with feelings of retaliation in proportion as the accusers are inspired with jsalously, A certain member of the Military, unless he is better fortified than the average mem- Der of his class, had better look to his own l laurels, and also to observe the dictates of the 1lth Amendment, it is short and in time, even his obscured intellect might be able to understand its provisions. threads: Mind y0ur ora business
 The Hon. John G. Campbell must cer- tainly feel that his representation of Arizona Territory at Washington has been total failure, as but few, if any, ,of those bul- | liant and seductive promises he made dur ing the last campaign have been realized. He has never been on very good terms with the pyospectors and miners, since the day he declared ks traEtsd none of their trade, and at present writing he has not a dollar invested in any mining venture, and this strike against the gentlemen who have done so much and willing to do ! more to develop the greatest and dearest interests of our Territory, will incline the most stalwart of the "Old Bourbon De- mocracy'' to turn against him at :he ensu- ing election, should he have the brazen cheek to again solicit their votes.
 As a stroke of policy Tn political sense these charges are dismal and decided failure. In the retirement to prIvate life, which he is likely to enjoy after his ardu- ous public duties, he may perhaps make that discovery. Respectfully,
 BIA~TER.
