Northern AriEona is peculiarly ltstalo. and comes vory nigh being an oanU In n fleert. Our western frontier U bounded by tin Colorado rivor ; our southern, by the Gila, our eastern, by New Mexico, ami our northern, by Utah and Colorado. South of the Gila, our section U cut off front the Mexican State of Sonora by a long strip of hind, which, in some countries, might be onlktl n desert, althoogh portions of It produce grois, and contain wnw farming land. The re gion of conntry between the Colorado river and the settlements in font hern California, is mother Miah a dovert On onr northern border, (be coun try U almost a ttrra iimgmtto, but wo believe it to be n high well-watered and timbered conntry. The distance from 1'rtwcoU to San Dernardino, the first town of any importance in southern Call furttki, h oh on I -100 mttei ; to Angeles, the largest town south of San Francisco, it Is about 175 mites. From ProscoU, to Santa Fe, New Mexico, the distance U less than A00 miles, via Camp Lincoln. Zuni and Fort Wlngnte. In tbe chief eity of southern California and tbe chief city of New Mexico, tbe price of articles con Mi mud by ns, are nearly cqunl, the slight differ onaos being In favor of California. Yet once let us have dlroct communication with New Mexico, vfn the route already mentioned : let mail ser vice and troops l.e placed npon it, and we could buy horo in l'reecott, from New Mexican traders, tltiiir for about $12 per cwt., and other articles in proportion, for which we now lwre to pay $18 and S20 jwr cwt. in gold. Quito a differ ence in tbe cost of flour and other articles. Tbe reason for this is that tbe route from l'rescott. Wiokenburg and other places in tbe Territory i far superior to that between our county and Los Angeles. Between l'rescott and Wlckenburg and Santa Fe and Albuquerque, ox teams could perforin the journey with great case, as npon tbe entire route water is plenty, at convenient dis tances, and gra grows everywhere. Heretofore, California baa held n? at her mercy, in the hol low of Iter band, and we are anxious to wo New Mexico run her a tilt for our trade. Not that we prefer our eastern to our western brethren, but tbet we wish to see some competition in this mar ket and a reduction in tbe cost of living. In a few years, we will, raise enough wheat to make our own bread, and, should tho Indians cease their thieving, more than enough onttio, swine, sheep, etc, to furnish us meat. Wo want connexion with New Mexico, awl must have it, and wc hope she will meot us liolf way in trying to get it The telegraph line recently built to Sryita Fe, will not stop there long, and we have reason to hope Hint it will soon be vx I end ml throuch -this part of Arizona and connect at Los Angeles with tbe wires from San Francisco. MEN AND WOMEN WANTED IN ARIZONA. EASTERN DIVISION RAILROAD. There seems to bo n determination on the part of a great many Senators and Represetrtativci to force tbe eomjwtiy that ha) already built tbU roud from tho Mlonri river to l'ond crock, to either stop right there in tho wilderness, or run their road to Denver City, in Colorado. This l short-sighted policy on the part of member of the National Legislature, who act as though (hoy were operating in the Interest of (bo Union I'a- I clBc Railroad Company. A short time ago, the I. 1. II. Company, assured (he E. I). Company that their road would not in the least interfere with theirs, and that tbey would aid them in get ting help from Congress to build the Eastern Di vision road. but. now. it seems, (hey have adopt ed new tactic, and appear to be working with might and main against the granting of any more id to complete onr railroad. What U the matter now ? Are they afraid of opposition, or do they want all the aid the Republic can afford to give, to build their sky-scraping road through the great North American snow-belt f We hope Congress will retrace its steps, view tbe matter in its true light, obey the mandate of the people and help bnlld our railroad. It is silly and imbecile in a pooplo as numer ous, rich and iowrful a is ohm to sit down quietly after accomplishing one great work and Imagine that that is sufficient for a century, and they will not do it. The people of all the great cities of the cast demand (lie speedy construc tion of two lines of railroads from the east to tbe wet, and sooner or later, another will lmvo to be built? Then, why dodge the question ? Why not grapple tbe great undertaking now, and put it tbmugh? It is not asked for by u section or by a party all sections and all parlies arc in favor of building it, speedily, yet Corrgreea holds back. If Congress is not in favor of assisting the company by granting them lands, then give them bonds or money aid of some kind, bit for Heaven's sake don't retard the development and settling up of the rich and imtuenic country through which the road would pu-s for the Mike of any company of monopolists. The poor peo ple, the merchant", tho farmers and tbe me chanics of tbe over-crowded east demand Its construction, in order that they may come this way, for farms, work and trade. The people of Southern California. New Mexi co and Arizona aro anxiously pruying for it construction, knowing full well that it will bring tbctn immigration, capital, enterprise and pro tection against Indian;, and if it is not built it will cause gloom and detpulr to settle down upon them thicker anil blacker than ever. Tbe advantages that this road would be to the Government and people have already been so clearly set forth, that we need not reiterate them. Suffice it to say that in a few years it would bring rock an influx of people into the Territories through which it would pans, that there wonld bo no need of Government main taining an expensive army in them, to watch In dians, for tho settlers would soon take cure of them at their own expense. Kvery interest of the country demands its con struction, and Congress will do nobly, wisely, if it does itsi duty to (he country by encouraging and aiding its projector.!, for without Govern ment aid. wo fear the company, or no other com pany, will undertake to accomplish the gigantic task of building it at thoir own expense.

We want (ho fact understood in California and the East, whore laboring men and women are in 'excess of tho demand, that by coming to Ari zona, they will have no difficulty in finding stcadyemploymontatremuneratlve wago. Here tofore, wc have been loth, yes, almost afrnid, to invite immigrants to our Territory, but now, we believe, in fact know, that the time lias arrived for us to hold oirt tbe strongest kind of encour agement to them to do so. Tho present is the sixth year since whites Grst settled in this part or the Territory, and in that short time, they have demonstrated the met, that, ilotlte Indians and every other drawlmek, (hoy can make a good living here. Then, just imagine what our people will do when the Indian incu bus, cloud, curse, or whatever you may call it, vanishes. Wo have demonstrated tho fact, that, white people can live here ; that our country is rich in minerals, that her soil produces luxuri antly ; wc have explored tbe country for over ! two hundred miles oast from I'resoott, and know that it is heavily timbered, well waterod, and an Inviting region to settle in. Our great gold mine, the Vulture, at Wicken burg, in this county, is, and has been, producing thousands of dollars every week, for the past two years, and just now, mining prospects never before looked so encouraging in the vicinity of Arizona City, Eureka. La l'az, Jlardyvillc and l'rescott. God lias blessed the people of tho Territory with abundant crops, and tho farmers will have no trouble to dispose of thoir grain, etc, for fair prices. All that tho Terrifory now stands in need of Is workers, protection from In dians, and tho opening rip to travel of the 36tb parallel route to New Mexico. Give her those, and cho will soon astonish even her friends. Coxokbm is to meet again on tbe Jlst Inst., when, we hope, it will do something towards sub duing tho Indians of Kansas Now Mexico, and Arizona, by encouraging, in some waylhe bnlld iug of a railroad from tbe Missouri to (be Colo rado, for in no other way can Govern merit so cheaply, expeditiously ami thoroughly master the savages and open the country (o settlement- Tickled.

We saw litem weigh the gold and sell it at SI" an ounce. This is a big yield, and a porson would naturally suppose they had mado money, but when It is known that they had to pay St a day for the use of a rickety wheel and two no account arastras; also, a big price for hauling theoro, andfiiriiUbingu guard to tho wagon and team, (heir profits are not great, nevertheless, tbey have done handsomely nnd have concluded to erect a wheel and arastras of thoir own. . .Tho other arastra men were cleaning up when Mc Williams and Winning left the creek, The wator was drying up fast. At WicxEXBrnn, on fho 14th, both mills wore running, but It was feared that a suspension was inevitable, for tho reason that Mifflcient teams oould not bo had to haul rock, the Indians hav ing taken nearly all tho animals about tho place.
