THE INDIAN WAR.

The progress of the Indian War, as the recent outbreak is called by our contempo- raries on the Southern border, IS exactly what we have foreshadowed heretofore when aIluding to the Indian outbreak. Since the 10th of April. when the police at San Car los Agency were resisted by Indians leaving the Agency. there have been but few whites murdered, and now after the Indians have crossed the border and beyond the limits of this Territory it is not difficult to estimate the effects of the scare. The reported burn- ing of Galeyville proved to be canard, and tbe stories of burning ranches and slaugh- tered people, turn out to have originated ln the distempered imaginations Of fearful miners and irresponsible tramps. It IS biohly probable that not fifteen whites have been killed by the fleeing Indians. The Noble red men were ill too great hurry to reach Mexico, and were too closely pursued by our military to fool away any time in reaching the Mexican border, where they imagined they would be safe from pur- suit. The story told in the Epitaph of re- cent date concerning couple ot men who started with four-horse team, from there, and soon after returned on two Of the anl- mals, reporting having seen 30 Indians, and the sequel that the owner went out and brought in his wagon and the other two horses, and finding no trace of Indians, illustrates the scare in its true light. No good ever comes from tLe publication ot such bugaboo stories, and it is a matter of deen regret that such horrible stories of wholesale butchery were ever published as appeared in newspapers in the southern part of the Territory.
 The Headquarters of the Department are here. and we are always in position to know from General Wilcox the true situa- lion. and because we have not joined in the hoyls of Indian massacres IS because we knew they were not true and we did not wish to foster an alarm optside the Terri tory which only results in injury to the Territory. This portion of the Territory is not jealous of any other portion, and when real danger menaces the people of any sec ton of it, our people will be found as active and energetic in promoting peace and good order as any one could desire.

Epitaph, May 2d |: Yesterday morning J. o. Dunbar sent two men ID his eHplq9, Xith fourhorse team, to SulphIr Springs valley. They were not absent more than hour when both returned on horseback in high state of excitement, stating that they had seen about thirty Indians about six miles from town. Tbey uphitched the horses with all pqssihle speed, and mounting oDs ealh, sode to town, leaving the others with the wagon on the road Both were willing to swear they had seen Indians, and refused to go out with Mr. Dunbar to attempt rescue of the horses. in eol,p$pv. with his brother and another man Mr. Dunbar went III s6alei, of his horses, and found them badly entangled in the harness about six miles from town. Search was nlade forIndian tracks, but none could be foui,d. Tbe horses were fine look ing young animals and would fall csitaip prey to the redskins if they were anywhere
 in the vicinity. The 'two-sharp-eyed team sterrs must have. mistaken an ant hill Tor a tiibe of mdsans. WGrder if other Indian outrages reported are of like patteai..

Misplaced sympathy is as injurious to the morals of the community as pubhc appro- bation of criminal acts. The law enacts just penalties to not only punish the guilty, but to render-crimc odioGs and terrible in its consequent results. Christianity and edueation have tempered justice with mercy, but nothing can be more deplorahie than the tendency shown both in England and and criminals into the position of martyrs. have but to cite to the case of Guiteau, the infamous, feastcd, fcted and te-fOwered by the ladies of Washington, and to one who has recently paid the just penalty Qf his crime upon the gallows, Dr. Lamson. This last most despicable, cruel and common= place murderer, was presented with, daily, boquets by the ladies of London, receiving also other marks of attention. One would imagine that no feelings, save pity and sor TOW for the victim, and indignation and ab- horence for the criminal, could have been aroused in any womanly breast; and these foolish, mischievious women are doing more to confirm the theory of wOman's intellectual inferiority than the RtoHtest advocates of woman's rights comteract by years of labor.
 When one thinks of all the unalleiviated pain and misery existing in all great cities, the many good men and women suffering for the actual necessities of life, and most pitiful, to ms, of all, the little innocent children, to whom a flower would be as q gift from Heaven, it is impossible to coneeal one's disapprobation and abhorrence of the false sentiment which must actuate these most foolish of women. I regard such at tention to the condemned as an outrage up- on one's feelings of common sense and de- cency, and as such 1t sholbd not only be drowned down through the influence of the press and opinion, but should be rendered impossible by virtue of some legal enact '4 f meEt.

HATS !


 These articles of attire, which from daily and almost universal use pass un- noticed, nevertheless in some cases pre- sent features of much interest. As far back as 1 can remember what might be called the etiquette of the hat has been the subject of no little dispute, and at times of legal wranging. As for instance, when c iaker refuses to doff his broad brim in difference to the Court before which he may have been summoned. If my memory serves me right the unman- nerly Friend has evergained the day For to remove ones hat in certain presence expresses no inferiority, but is simply like the 'dear sir of conventional cores pondence, and the most obedient ser want, of more formal epistles, old estab- lished courtly phrases, which only boor or a demagogue would dream of neglect ing. No article of mans attire is of greater significance than the hat. The Cardinal has one, the Priest another, and the Phrygian cap is the smybol in Europe of Republicanism, just as the steeple- crowned beaver was the badge of the cd Puritans and the feathered jewelled broad brim of the gallant cavaliers.
 "Hat honour" once upon time, act ually divided England into religious sects. But though overlaid with artificial eti- quette, hat lifting Is one of the oldest and stateliest of courtesies. It appears to me that this must have originated when men were clad in armor, ndtoremove one s hel- met ill another's presence was surely a mark of honor and confidence, when we consider that by so doing he ran a possi. ble risk of haviug his head eleven in twain.
 A Spanish Grandee expresses his rank by the length of time during which he can wear his hat in the Kings company. It must be amusing on such occasions to ob- serve them time each other, for doubtless that same jealousy of another's privileges exists there as in other and more familiar spheres of life. In England a certain no ble house, and only one l think, has the inestimable privilege of wearing its hat in the presence of royalty. It is related that J JOIu Dc COutCf, EdTl OI OlSGcI, CuOSc GHlS distinction before titles and lands.
 Altho' in this proslic age the hat does not play so prominent a part as formerly, it is, nevertheless, an article the mere handling of which proclaims the man of culture or the reverse. In my time was taught to not only lift my hat in nacknowl- edgment of a lady, but to remain uncov- cred so long as she honored me with her conversation.
 There are certain unwritten laws among gentlemen, and this is one of them, which should be as stricly adhered to as though one were bound by the most stringent legal enactment upon the sub ject. Poiiteness begins at home, and when once taught by the precept and ex ample of ones mother and sisters, 1t be- becomes second nature, from which 1t Is well nigh impossible to break. HUME

FACTS AND FIGURES.

For the eighty-four days ending March 25 the dividends paid by mining compa- nies in the States and Territories named' below aggregated $3,932,675 divided as follows: Arizona, s5S7, 300; California, S32l, 300; Colorado, s7lI,750; Dakota, $23O, 900; Georgia, SS, 900; Mexico, $50, GOO; Michigan, sl,O50,000; Missouri, S2O, 900; Montana, 10000; Nevada, S23l, 75O; New Mexico, S4,375; Nova Scotia, Sl,SOo; Utah, S537,O
 It will be observed that Michigan oc- cupies the van by reason of the rich cop per mines that exist along the shores of Lake Superior, but of the precious metal producing sections Arizona falls but little over one hundred thousand dollars behind Colorado. This exhibit ought to be a great encouragement to capitalists as well as miners, s,-because to the former it shows the facts in regard to the vast mineral wealth of this Territory have not been exaggerated, while the miner can see that despite all drawbacks, Indian scares and lack of transportation, the Territory is rapidly taking its place at the head of the list of bullion producing States. The copper interests of this Territory are also one of its greatest resources, and with the advent of cheap transportation the output from her mines will astonisb the hardy delivers of the ''unsalted seas. An encouraging feature of the statement, also, is the excess of S907. .l75 over the total for tine quarter ending April l, 1881. The rapid strides made by Arizona in the last three years brings to mind more forcibly the prophetic words of Baron Won Humboldt: "TLe wealth of the world will be found in Arizona and New Mexico"

LAS VEGAS, N.

An alarm was given as soon as the road agents disappeared, but the search proved frultless, The train continued its course, and from what can be learned carried the robbers to Lamy, where they robbed the Depot Hotel and McBeth's saloon, securing a great deal of miscellaneous plunder.

 My DEAR SIR:-Your esteemed favor of April 10th is at hand, requesting information as to this section of the country. As to our surroundings, would reply that We are surrounded on the west by the Colorado river, beautiful little streamlet, the water of which is said ta be very good used as beverage. On the east aud south we are generally surrounded by sand-storm, and on the north by rock. The population of our town is variable. have known there to be as high as 300 people here in the morning .aad npt more than 16 or l7 at night, the difference being generally oc- casicned by the approach of the sheriff or a vigilance committees, Our resources of wealth are varied and attractive, know one man with a COW and calf and brand ing iron to raise 300 head of stock in one year, This, however, was an exceptional instance; at least hg f9gnd it so. He met with an accident by running against tree when he had rope around his neck. Our climate is dry and salubrious, impregnated with little wasnith. especially i'll August I have known a man to drink three bottles of whisky in one day, and still complain of the drought, We raise all kinds of cereals here except wheat, oats, barley and corn; those we import, mostly, in liquid form as the inhabitants like them better that way. I doubt that if a doctor of your ex- pericnce would do well here, as the people have an unpleasant way of killing the doctor if the patient dies. am, dear sir, yours, respectfully,
