Attention, Howard & Co.The Denver (.Colorado) News, hi it usually

bold and sensible manner, says: "GeneralSherman has got his blood up, and seems de-

termined to do something to relrieve the dis-aste-

or.d atone for tbc imbecility whichLa been m plentifully displayed about thefliva bedi. (a the meantime it will be ob-

served that, while the jieiice cotntnsssion give'endorsement tt the general peace policy,ithey express t esuui-approv- of the waragainst the Motfr.es. They say there can be'no palliation ifur their baseness. This is astreak of common euse coining from unex-'pect- ed

source. XLe blood of a Canby, or ofthe Thomases, call for vengeance; the Uveaof the pioneers do not. The commissionwere compelled to bow to the public indig-nation to save the Qnnker policy. Had theirinfernal notions been Interposed betweenSherman and Schofleld arxl the Modocs, thejeace policy would baTe been ground topowder. While the commission with muchparade and call the attentionof the country to the-- admirable results ofthis policy, the News calls the attention ofthe country to the mora important fact thatupon the distant frontiers fellow-citixen- s arebeing murdered, that tie bunds of these'christianixed' savages are being bathed inblood, and that white men's scalps adorn thebelts of those whom this infamous commis-sion tell us are submitting to the dvilUationproeo. Whem will wnss rather than senti-ment take possession of this question 1"

A correspondent of tho Omaha Herald rc

centlv interviewed Iirisbam Young for theporposo of noting down that worthy's views

upon the Indian question. From the reportof the conversation given by the correspond- -

nt, we are led to believe that Brigham wants

tostrensthen his interest with the Government by the Howard k Co., Hyena Commis-

sion, who wax fat and grow rich and power-ful while tbev uree on. with flendish pleasure,as war which dots the fairest and ricbrst portion of the national domain with the graveaot its bravest citizens.

Brigham told this correspondent that theADSciies ana niucr inninns in Anion uuuent word to bltn to come to this Territory

mnd that thev wanted no presents from tilui.but would do what work be bad for them todo. and take what be would cive themThen. Brisham informed this tender-foote- r

that thi-s-n Indians raUe corn and Vegetables,grow sheep, and are far in advance of otherIndians ; also, that tho inate sense of honorin the Indian ts of the mchcsl order.

The Apaches do not raise much of any-

thing save corn and hair, the former theyraiso from llie enbssH the settlers, arid weare aorry to say that they do not raiso thelatter from tho beads of the peace commis-sione- rs

thev are too far advanced for that."They want to work," too. Well, that

Mmn natural to an Indian : and it wasouallv superfluous for them to say that they

wanted no presents. Did any ono ever hearof an Indian accepting a testimonial 01 d,

however trifling tho offering might be 7

That "tho inate sense of honor in the Indianis of the highest order," is proven by thefact that one could, for a small consideration,hire an Anache to kill his grandmother. Andit is a well known fact, that most of the Indians killed fall by .tho hands of those oftheir own race, who, for the sake of Governmcnt rations and clothing, will wage a warof extermination unon their friends andbrothers, thouzh thev bad been on the bestof terms up to tho minute they were bribed

Mohavo County Mines.Wm. Cory, under a recent date, writes

as follows of mines and roads in Mohavecounty :

I arrived homo Friday afternoon, after arouifh but pleasant trip of ten days. I start-ed from this point with Judge Keeny, of SanFrancisco, A. Peterson and J. McCrackin, andvisited the Hope, HilK-rnia- , Daisy Deme. to

Arnold, Silver Queen, Ounsibt, Brooks anu tomany other ledges in the Cedar Valley district, many of them splendid looking lodes, asfar ns surface indications could determine.Tho Hibernia claim, on the Hope lode, especi-ally looks well, and the owners Dilfen-backc- r,

Hope, I'nrsons and Dougherty huvealready a largo amount- - of shipping ore onthe dump; and as my principal business inthat section was to find out the most feasibleroute to get their ore to the river, Messrs.Diflenbackcr, Parsons and myself, startedfrom the Hodo mine for this purposo. iWecrossed the mountains in a southeasterly di-

rection for nine miles and found, at CaveSprings, plenty of water nnd eood grass, anilan excellent pack-tra- il to this oirit. Fromthenco we started due southwest, passing thesouth end of Onion Pass range at a distanceof thirteen miles from Cave Springs, and,following a wash from this iwint lor twenty- -

three miles, we reached the river at a pointabout three miles above the "Needles," andfound an excellent landing, which we called"Hope Landing" making the entire distancefrom the Hope mine to the river, forty-fiv- e

miles, over a first-clas- s pack trail for ninemiles and a good wagon-rua- d for thirty-si-

miles. This result gives great satisfaction toall the people of this district, as the distanceacross this country has been very much overrated.

We, (C. 4 P.), intend to make a shipmentof twenty tons of ore from the Hiberniamine on the second steamer, and teamstersarc alrcadi) going over tho route to figure ontho cost of freighting this ore.

Judge Keeny seems to be well pleased withthe whole district and will probably investin some claim.

Wc shall makfl a considerable shipmentfrom the '03 and Itcindeer nn this steamer,and probably from two or three other lodes.

.i-- - . i , , . .v nrK is ucing vigorously prowcuicu on

Freight rates, "around the Horn," between New lork and Ssn Francisco, are,measurement goods, I5(15,30c. per foot;weight, Jafjrc. per lb. Oil, i3tj55a percase.

On the question of freight, and where topurchase goods, the San Diego Union givesibis information, which we believe to be correct: f

Merchandise esn be bousbt In New York outetter terms (?5 per cent, cheaper) for currency,tban In San Francisco for cold. Tlie merchantof &in Dernardiun, Ix)e Angeles and Anaheimcan order goods In New York, have tbem taker;from the steamship here bv the coasting rtcamerand delivered at their doors at bp Immense reduction from tbe cost of merchandise bought InAna Krauclsco. The merchants of Arizona rando the same thing, and can cither bare theirfreights IrsnsiM.rted orerland by the Fort I uinaTurnpike, or by steamer or sallluif vrsel henceto tbe Colorado river. At &xa Diego there IsaUolute freedctn from tbr port cbarircs exnctrdnt 5an Francisco. To our own dealets we neednot o1nt out the advantages of direct trade lth,c t ork; they tiiouiu know mem lauy.

Encouraging1.This word, "encouraging," Is a very good

word. Oft have wc used it in speaking ofthe future of our Territory. In Southern Cal-

ifornia, it is a favorite phrase. San Diego ed-

itors have slept with it under their heads andused it to4ptop their spinal columns as well as

tack the ship of destiny that is to carrytheir harbor commerce, cash, hash, etc.The "encouraging" nut which they arc now

cracking is the report of Mr. or, perhaps, Col-

onel, Tom Scott, President of the Texas and i

Pacific Railroad Company not railroad, for, jas yet, there is no such road. This report,we are told by tho Union, settles, bevond adoubt, the question of a western terminus.San Diego Is the point fixed by the great rail-road navigator, and this being so, San Fran-cisco need not expect much, if any, of thechicken pic.

Oh I this railroad building, on paper, is aneasy matter, but, although we are told thattmpcr makes good wheels for locomotives, wehave but a poor opinion of the railroad workdone, or that may be done, by men who payIrom !a to f 10 per ream Tor paper, buchrailroads are like the many mirages seen bytravelers in desert countries.

Nor docs it strengthen our faith in the fu-

ture good intentions of Mr. T. Scott k Co.,to be informed that the routo they have se-

lected for their proposed road, is the shortestknown route "from ocean to ocean," and thatover it the travel and coturaerco of continentsare to piss. Not at all. We know betterthan this, nnd so do Mr. Scott k Co. If theydid not, the road, which is now "dragging itsslow length" through the best portion of theStatu of Texas, would, ero this, have its snoutsomewhere in Arizona, reaching out to kisstho coming rails from the west. Dot, thereis nothing of the kind. Mr. Scott has alreadysaid too many "encouraging" things; LasMirtcd, too much, with State legislatures,small railroad companies and petty town gov-ernment, for us to think well of bis many"encouraging" promises.

When Congress psssed his little bill wewere assured that tho road would be push-ed through tu completion. Lots went upin San Diego, and auckcr went down fromSan Fiancisco nnd other cities. Ah ! fellow-bopcfu-

ls

of Ssn Diego, there is too tnurh ofthe J. L Fremont stle of not doing greatthings about tho Jom you worship Mr T.Scott. He Is, we fear, like all sentinels overmoney bag, cold, unfeeling, selfish, graspingard regardless of the wants and wishes of the"finest harbor and most magnificent climate"In tbc world. If not, why has ha won theheart, hand, real estate and atlections of it'speople, and then broke his engagements?Why has be gone back on tbo old fsuted)

to build bis road diiect to SanDiego t In playing his cards, be has "pissed'it by, entirely, and taken tbc shorten "cut"'for tbe stock-gamble- rs of San Frsncisco.True, should be build the road, be will, un-

doubtedly, give you a brancb road, and aswitch, and "call"1 your place the "terminus."You will, of course, "ace" this call and thatwill be all. San Francisco will continue tobo the great city on this shore of the PacificAnd whyf Because even were San Diegothe real terminus of the Texas-Pacifl- c shewould never grow too big fur her Bloomernether garments I And why ? Itccause she cannever become a great manufacturing city.Water-power- , fuel, and materials sre tooscarce.

Meanwhile, ynu must Iks of good cheerand a still" upper lip; but don't, forHeaven's sake, put any more faith in rail-road king. Recollect the many promisesthey have made, which promises wereonly to

ing" words of Gen. Palmer and his railroadhow Stnford k Co. have dilly-dallie- d

pikoto rort turns and iuma Oityj youwould do still better by importing gotds direct from New l ork and shipping them hismall sailing vessels to mouth of the Colorado. This courtc might in a short time,secure you considerable trado from every section of Arizona, whereas, now, you nave outa small share of the trade of tbe sotithrmsection. In connection with these enterprisesyour business men might place steamers onthe Colorado river, might start and reduction works nt San Diego, and so benefittliemsolvt-- s ami this Territory.

The troublo has been, wc people ot Arizonaand Southern California have built msnycastles in air; bavo counted too much onthe generosity of nch men, and have done toolittle real work. now, as it will be atleast five years beforu tbo Texas-Pacifi- c orany other railroad will be completed, let usnot fool away our lime in dreaming oi tneto-- b great event, but strip to tbe work ofdeveloping end utilizing what nature hasplaced at our disposal.

The new Commissioner of Indian Alftlrs, Hon.E. V. Smith, Is greatly embarassed In his effortsto provide for the Indian service In Arizona. Anexamination of the record of hi oOlce shows theappropriation for tbe current fiscal year entirelyexhausted. Tbe total appropriation tor the ser-vice In that Territory amounted to but t3U0,W).This was mada ou basis of number of InAlans on a At Him timi. till Atidmrirbl.lion was mde. This number has been greatly In- -

creased s the result of the war waged ui;alnlbostllu Indians, by the United Htatea troops. Asa ui peace, inesv inuiau were requin--to remain ou reservations, where they promised lood and clothing, with the distinct

An Indian claim agent is unlike most otherpeople. He is generally bankrupt in morals,religion and policies, lie will makn uncon-scionable demands for tbo most imaginaryservices ; will make any kind of representa-tion to tbe Indians against tbo character ofhis own people and govcrmcnt that in hijudgment will overreach his olients; willmagnify hie own importance and traduceother..; will impudently claim an exclusiveknowledge of public records that are reallyknown to every one; will thrcaton others inorder to carry his point; will accept pay onboth sides of bis case, and tbe last and bestpay Is tho best served. He will buy or HI,corrupt or be corrupted, whichever promisestho most money to liim. He will attack anyother of tbo same class of operatives if notpermitted to share in the spoils. He willmarry a squaw and become an Indian to se-

cure an intlucnco among tbem, and will abandon his victim and children if necessary forgain. Ho will abandon American citizenshipfor that of a band of Indians, solely to di- -

vldo their property with them, and thatdono will abandon them. In short, if thereis anything that an Indian agent will not doit is that ho will not treat his clients, tho In-

dium, honestly. Shanks.

The fields ou each tide of tbe roadalong our route, were dotted with huge gold-en colored stacks from fifty to eighty feet inlength, set in (.airs not tide by side, but endto end, with just sufficient room between toset the thresher. Tbe little engine, at a ssfedistance from the straw, though so insignificant lookiug, did a ,'migbtv sight" of work,turning out two Mckt of barley per minute.Jn connection with the thresher was a der- -

Tree Protector, Mr. Charles Ayres, ofFarmington Center, Wisconsin, has recentlypatented a device for prelecting the bark oftrees against gnawing animals, boring insects,and tbo worms which climb and destroyleaves and branches. Tho invention consistsin a wrapper of wiro gauze or other recirculated sumtance, provided wttu nts insiue torest against tbe tree, holding it therefrom,so a to allow a space for the circulation oftho air. This envelopo is made large enoughto considerably, so as to allow oi tbocrnwth of tho tree, and is held to cetber bvclastic fastenings. The lower end is sunk afew inches into tho ground and packed withwood ashes. For a short distance above tbesurface, a costing of tor and other adhesivematerial is applied, to which insects will stickfast. Above the tar, the wire is piloted toprotect it from r.

This device will be ipnreriated by allfarmm end nurserymen, to whom tbe beautyof tbo foliaee of the trees and the immunityfrom datnsgo of fruit are Important consider- -
