Mir. E. M. Pearce arrived from the Pinal Mountains on Wednesday, and from him we get the following:

 The Silver King has the main shaft down thirty feet, and the metal remains the same as at the top. This is one of the richest silver mines in the world, and of itself is capable of yielding an immense amount of bullion. In addition to the many tons of rich ores that have come out of the mine, there are several hundred pounds of silver nuggets, which require only the application of heat to reduce them to merchantable silver. The furna- ces of Hughes & Arey are now completed and a large amount of bullion will soon be made. The bonanza of the Silver King is in fact rich treasure, and if prop erly worked will produce an abundance of wealth for the owners and also for the outside world. In mining phrase, "there is enough In sight In it " to justify work ing on an immense scale, and no doubt the proper arrangements will soon be made.

 The Josephine mine is about half mile from the King and traceable on top of the ground for over a mile. Work will be soon commenced and a thorough prospect of the mine made. It Is believed that the developments will show something start ling in the way of rich silver ores. The top assays twenty-two hundred ounces to the ton.

 The Fernandez, also another traceable lead, has shown good ore and some native silver the past week. The Iron Horse is a southeastern extension of the Silver King, and will be prospected soon. The indica- tionS are remarkably fine. Without doubt some of the richest ores ever found are in the Pinal range, and when these great mountains are induStriOuSly pros pected as they surely will be, the civilized world will have much to say about the mineral treasures of Arizona There are no Indian troubles-nothing 10 prevent miraculous growth in wealth and popula- tion in the most favored, naturally, Of all the Territories.

 Several parties of prospectors are in the mountains above Florence; also in the Pi- nal range-eastern slope; and a company Is now getting ready to take a look in and around Superstition mountains,

 MT. Culver recently came in from Pinal , mountains and says he has what he re- i gards as valuable location on the Silver , King, which he is developing.

 The rains of the week in the Santa Rita have enabled the placer min- CTS of Smith district to resume taking out placer gold, and as elsewhere stated, Fred Hughes washed out $l00 in five days. 9th CTS are taking out at about that rate. {.

IT was telegraphed from San Francisco to San Diego and hence to THE CITIZEN, and generally published, that Miss Liz zie Wasson was passenger per steamer Orizaba with us on a recent voyage whereas the person was Lizzie Watson. When at Maricopa Wells last week, we furnished the operator a brief news dis stating the fact, but he failed to trans init it, notwithstanding our remark that as the telegraph had put the error III cir culation, it should correct it. The mat ter would not be worth mentioning, were it not to remind the operator that it was his duty to have sent that correction. Every erroneous dispatch misleads more or less people, and operators like other news reporters should cheertully and promptly correct errors when reliably in formed of them. The pleasant operator at the Wells did not originate the mistake, but he should not have hesitated to cor rect it under the circumstances. As be, fore said, this error is trifing, and our purpose is simply to remind the operator of his duty in this and similar circumstsn ces.

NEW YORK, June 13.-Captain William H. Brown, of the Fifth United States Cav airy, committed suicide yesterday after noon at No. 2l West Twenty street, by cutting his throat with razor. On Thursday last Colonel W. G. Rankin called upon Captain Brown and found him very Respondent, and on asking what the matter was, Brown replied that he did not feel very well, but throght he would be all right again in a short time, and invited the Colonel to call upon him yes terday. Colonel Rankin proceeded to Captain Browns residence yesterday after noon, anc on knocking at his door was told to come in. On entering the room, Brown was found lying on the floor bleed- ing from terrible wound in the throat. Two razors and strap were on the floor beside him. He recognized Colonel Ran kin, and said it was no use sending for doctor, as he could not do him any good. Dr. HOtf was sent for, and he sewed up the wounds; buta short time after Captain Brown was seized with sudden convul- slon, and in his struggle re-opened the wound. He began to sink and died soon after

 Since the above was put in type, we re- ceived the following:

 SAN DIEGO, June 4-The Washington Star of a late date contains the following and heads it: "Sequel to Sheridan's Wedding-Smcide of a Cavalry Officer who was in love with the bride-S wallow- ing a ring"

 Captain William H. Brown of the Fifth Cavalry, cut his throat with razor last Friday at New York. His age was 30. He told his friend Col w. G. Rankin, the evening previous, that he was "out of sorts" but shall soon be all right again, and invited the Colonel 10 call on him again. The following day the colonel did so in company with MT. Costa, friend, and on knocking at the door, an lndis- tinct voice said, "Come in." On enter ing, they found Captain Brown partially undressed upon the floor with deep gash on his throat with two razors lying beside him. He held in his hand broken gold chain. He recognized Col. Rankin at once and said: cit is no use sending for doctor; he can do me no good; it is all over; I have no one to live for now" He then added: "I have swallowed a ring which I wish you to get" A doctor was sent far who sewed up the the wound and paid him other necessary attentions but on his depature Brown experienced d sudden cOnvulsion and in his agony hurst opea the wound and died soon after. Deputy Coroner Lee made a postmortem examination of the body on Friday. At the time Captain Brown was dying he spoke of a ring that he swallowed. This ring was found. It was of plain gold, with raised chased edges. On the inside of the ring was engraved "Be satisfied" The story of the ring was not ascertained but if rumors be true, he was engaged to the young lady in New Orleans, who has since become the wife of Gen. Phil Sheridan.

The Cincinnati Commercial pro-
fesses not to have any fear of the
Pope's big toe, but hits the nail on
the head whom it says:


The st. Louis Times is mistaken
when it supposes that the seetarian
feeling aroused in Ohio over the Geg-
han bill was excited chiefly by the
matter of the bill itself. Pending its
consideration, Mr. Geghan wrote an
open letter, in which he declared
that the Catholics had "a prior
claim on the Democratic party" the
claim consisting in the fact that the
party received the Catholic vote.
The Catholic Telegraph also came to
the support of the bill, with the dec
laration that, if the Legislature pass
ed it the Catholic vote of the State
would be given solidly to the Demo
cratic ticket this fall. 1t is this
open recognition of alliance between
the party and church that has stirred
the feeling of the people, and made
them suspicious that the party is to
be manipulated by The church for
objects far worse than those contem-
plated in the Geghan bill.

will CALI attention to self evi-
dent truth, that may at first glance
seem to be abstract, or separate from
the politics of the day. It is this j.:
Men love power. This truth applies
as individuals and as parties, and is
at once seen to be true.


Is it right to love power, or is it
wrong? The answer may be, it is
right at times, and at other times
wrong. If men or parties love pow
er, not for selfish purposes, but for
the sake of general usefulness, it is
right. If they love power for the
sake of power, or merely to promote
their own selfish purposes, then it is
wrong.


am aware of the truth uttered
by VIM. HI. Seward, that men are
moved to action by ''mixed motives;
that no man or party is perfect; no
one is wholly good or wholly evil
With this qualifying idea l do not
hesitate to declare, that since the
administration of President Jackson,
the Democratic party, or rather
the leaders of the party, stand pre-
eminent for their love of power for
the sake of power, and for their dis
regard of the prospective, permanent
and general welfare of the people
This intense passion of the love of
power rules them with rod of iron,
and like the rod of Aaron, smothers
up candor, fairness, justice, decency
and all minor considerations.


The doctrine of Notification, or the
right of State to prevert the opera
ton of law of Congress within its
limits, did not have the effect to unite
all the slave States in its support
Kentucky, Missouri, Louisiana, and
some other States, opposed it or
kept aloof from its support. Wings
of the South acted with their brother
Wings of the North, and Democrats
of the North and South continued to
operate and harmonize with each
other. It was thus seen that the
doctrine of Notification had failed
of its intended effect.


South Carolina was in the lead,
and had not far to go to find q more
potent and available subject for agi-
tation, The institution of slavery
was in no danger from any intended
interf, renee from any Northern
State. Northern statesmen, of both
the Wing and Democratic par
ties, everywhere, proclaimed their
fixed resolution to stand firmly by
the compromises of the Federal Con-
stitution. Such assurances, however,
were not allowed to reach the minds
of the great masses of the Southern
people. They were ignorant and
passionate, easily managed and
wholly controlled by the politicians
They were timid and fearful, because
they knew thai slavery was wrong
of gigantic proportions. Jefferson
had said in regard to it, Il tremble
for my country when L remember
that God is just"

The Church must be content in its
worship, and the enjoyment of IT'S
own opinions. but it must be taught
to beware how it attempts to inter
fere with the proper functions of the
State. If it seeks to become a polit-
ical party, it must expect to be treat
ed as q partisan, and any political
party which is willing to use the sect
arian zeal OF a particular church to
promote its political power, becomes
Justly obnoxious to the suspicion of
all the other churches, if not their
opposition. The Democratic party
at the present lies under that impu-
tation. If that party and the Catho-
lie church have conspired to acquire
and share political power, they can
not complain that other parties and
other sects are becoming jealous of

Mr.. H. H. Lowery has opened at
No. s Commercial street the finest
barber-shop in the city, and one not
to be excelled in elegance and COM
pleteness of appointments by any on
the coast. The novelty of the estab-
lishment is hair-brushing by ma
chinery. The apparatus employed for
this purpose is horizontal shaft run
ming along the ceiling, to which re-
volving brushes are attached by
means of elastic bands, and the whole
propelled by O steam Chinaman.
Hair-brushing is thus reduced to an
actual luxury, as we have found by
trial with the new arrangement. This
is the second machine of its kind in
the State, the only other one being in
San Francisco. The shop is neatly
and elegantly furnished, and COM
pletely retired from the street, the
front portion being partitioned off for
perfumery stand. Not the least
part of the arrangement is fine sign
displayed in front, which represents
the whole of the interior, true to life.
Bathrooms will soon be added to the
otherwise complete establishment.
Mr.. Lowery has spared neither pains
nor expense in fitting up this tonso-
rial palace, and the public will no
doubt thoroughly appreciate and re-
ward the effort.

General Management of Tobacco,
compiled by Mr.. Jesse 7. Hutchc

in number, and for minuteness Of

We publish them with the hope
that they will be of benefit to our

with the management of tobacco.
AS these articles are valuable. it
would not be amiss for our country

Here is the first one


Selection and Preparation of


Plant Land.


We prefer a gentle slope, with a
southern or southeastern exposure, a
rich gray soil, remote from any field
or other opening, if it is possible, We
never yet have known any other land
absolutely certain for plants, While
some years plant-beds in the field may
turn out well yet the utmost precau-
ton, other years, will not be sufficient
to keep the insects from devOuring
them. While, if the beds are in the
woods. they are rarely ever found by
the fly, and scarcely ever injured to
auv great extent. We never knew a
bed in the woods, properly selected,
aud properly managed, TO fail. We
have seen some land in second growth
of pine to produce plants admirably,
and as far as our experience goes, some
of the very best is this kind of land
But bed in an open field is never GER
tain. This is the conclusion of years
of practical experience, which, to us,
is worth all the slip-shod theory ever
published.


Avoid land that is too wet, for on it,
your plants, though they mag event
ualIy come, will very generally be too
tall. On hillside damp enough, II
It is in the woods, the plants will be
at least three weeks earlier. Red land,
no matter how rich, is uncertain, ana
should be avoided


After a suitable piece OF land has
been found, select a dry time, from the
Ist OF December to the lst OF February
the sooner the better-and after ra-
king off the leaves, lay down skids
about three inches in diameter and
about three feet apart, across which
lay a bed of wood five or six feet
wide, and high enough to burn about
an hour and a half, and leave sutli-
cient quantity to move, so that there
will be no difficulty in kidding after
the first time. When it has burned
enough, move the fire about as far as
the width OF the first layer, then
throw on brush and a good bed of
wood, and so on. Brush adds greatly
to the burning of the fire. and must be
used with every layer. Every ffrmer
ought to provide himself with iron
hooks for pulling plant bed fires. Ihere
may be such a thing as burning land
too hard, but we give il as our opinion,
that where one bed is injured by hard
burning, ten are injured for the want
OF it. We have heard a great deal
about raising plants with guano, aud
without burning but in most cases
we have witnessed, it proved a signal
