THE Territorial Enterprise, published at Virginia, Nevada, heads an article, "Ihe Land of Murder" "More of the Diversions of the Hell-Hounds of Ari zona," and says: At present Arizona Is a region to be summed by all lovers of peace and quiet. The Apaches one might endure, but the white cut-throars render the country about as desirable place of residence as Hades itself All decent Arizonans should be glad to die and be transported to purgatOry, where they can find little peace and quiet Such publications as the above are go. ing the rounds of the press, and they are uncalled for and islander which Is doing the territory great harm. Some journalists are too ready to pen such par agraphs without considering the result. A murder in Arizona IS magnltied into @ dozen. The murders that have been committed lately are among the out laws themselves, with one or two ex- captions. The cowboy element Is dwlndling down to small numbers and Tn a few months they will be numbered among the things of the past. The Enterprise man, being a Western man, if not a fresh importation, ought to know better than write such an eX- aggerated paragraphs. The officers of the law are more vIgilaut; the people are more determined; judges are awake to the situation, and iuries will not be bribed, and where there IS a murder now there will be none In the near future.

$4,000 is told by the Hannibal Journal:
'In January, 1861, the confederate
bushwhackers set fire to the bridge
over Young's Creek, and Mr.. Caldwell
got out of bed in season to check the
flames with a pail of water. Then he
hurried to Centralia to give the alarm,
leaving his wife and children to keep
the fire in check. 1t was a bitterly cold
night, and Mrs. Caldwell had to wrap
her children in blankets; but despite
the cold they worked, and extinguished
the flames. The bridge, however, had
been reduced to a mere shell. Mrs.
Caldwell knew that it could not bear
up a train that was almost due, and
hurrying TO her house, she got a Ian
tern and stood on the bridge in the
biting blasts of a January night until
the train with its freight of human
life had been warned and stopped.N

Republican newspapers assert that
Mr.. Carlisle said in a speech when he
was running for congress against Lam
drum, something like this.-"I deny
that the United States is a nation; it is
a vicious system that has destroyed
sovereign states and oppressed nine
millions of people in the SOUTH" Mr..
Carlisle denies ever having uttered
such a sentiment, and his opponent
~coreborates him. 1t is very stupid to
fight such a man as Carlisle with such
weapons as these, for no man stands
higher in the estimation even of the
republican members of the house than
does he. Mr.. Carlisle is a statesman,
and whenever nonsense is attributed
to him it may very safely be set down
as manufactured for the occasion.
