Latest Dispatches.

When the Union army, under Buell.,
entered Tennessee in the early spring
of 1862, Southern lady, amazed at
the discipline and numbers of the boys
in blue, asked one of the soldiers:
"How far back does your army ex-
tend?"
"Why, madam" replied the soldier,
"it reaches back to the North Pole,
and latest dispatches say there thou
sand regiments up there waiting for
chance to get into line. F"

non shoulders his musket and dons the blue,
And the time with his brogans beat.
And the mother put motherly fears to fight,
And the wife hid her tears away,
rir men must night when their cause is right,
While the women i'll patience wait.
| And now It's the discipline hard and sore
~ The camp, tho march ana the chase,
and now lis the flash and crash and tho roar
As the battle creeps on apace.

AN ARIZONA PRODUCT.

Dr. c. E. Goodfellow, of Tombstone, one of the leading young physicians of this country, arrived in Phenix yester- day, en route from San Francisco to Tombstone. pr. Goodfellow furnished the data to the Washington Institute of the recent Sonora earthquakes, and his ideas, theories and scientific analysis of that huge quake, was adopted by Capt. Dutton, of the above institute, as the most thorough and comprehensive that has been furnished for the past twenty Eve years. Captain Dutton stands a, the head of the scientific world as authority upon such matters, and such a splendid endorsement, coming from such source, makes us feel proud of our famous young Arizona scientist. Dr. Goodfellow possesses many splendid qualities of both heart and brain.

GOOD ENOUGH.
THE NEW RAILROAD TO BlSBEE
Its Early Completion an Assured Fact-Rumors
 Flying in the Air.

For more than year it has been an open secret that the Copper Queen Min ing Company, of Bisbee. had determined to make railroad connection in order to save cos, in transportation of coke and crude bullion. and the companyrhad gone SO far as to have preliminary sur. veys made of the proposed line. The first proposition was to build d narrow gauge road direct from E Fairbank through Mule Pass to the great copper camp, but recent developments go to show that this will not be the adopted route. First, on account of the steep gradients through the canyon, and second, because 1t has been plainly shown that the Az chison, Topeka and Santa Fe company propose to take hand in the building of the road. That company already has line surveyed from Fairbank to Dem ing through Tombstone, and has expend. ed thousands of dollars on the grade. This line would give the Sonora road connection with the main Santa Fe system, which has long been aNgfeat deslderatum, and crossing the Sulphur Spring Valley aslt would, she building of a short btaneh into Bisbee would be a matter of small expense.
 While it cannot be positively stated that this is the plan, 1t would seem short sighted policy were it otherwise. And IS no people are more far-seeing than those of the Santa fe peomp pany, it amounts to a conviction with us that within year .Cochise county will have within it's borders nearly hundred miles more of railroad than she has at present. If thisis not the correct interpretation of recent railroad rumors, then the EPlTAPH is sadly mistaken.
 However, our readers can be assured of one thing, and that is that the rail- road will be built into Bisbee at once. Superintendent Ben, Williams, of the Copper Queen, says so. Messrs. J. E. Durkee & Co.,, who have the contract for hauling bullion and coke,lhave been officially notified of the fact, and have discharged some fifteen emen who were at work on the road and on improve. ments at Fairbank. This much is positive. .lIIlaah
