Mr. Editor: When I saw Xcnittic's
npirited articles Appearing in your columus
sit the beginning of tlic year, I hailed tlictn
as the opening of discussions wliicli might
be of advantage and amusement to the
reading portion of our population. Not
because I advocato Iter principles, but be
cause I thought she had set a bull in mo
tion that would lead to the proper investi
gation of what is right aud what is wrong.
It has long becu a proverb concerning Or
cgouians that men cannot arguo without
resorting to ridicule' or circumvention, but
the present year is fast developing the fact
that ladies arc taking a purt in the same
kinds of folly, though uKn different sub
jects., i The hint that M. P. Owen is a wo
man, of which I had not thought until the
last Argus came to hand, lends me to
strongly suspect 'Ac.' to 'bo a man! No
girl who 'married at sixteen,' 4 who could
only read pretty well,' ever composed thai
article, unless' she's proved on exception to
the general rule, and has had no babies to
tend. She may have copied it, or writing
is a merely mechanical operation, but she
wouldn't ' keep house' properly, tend babies
as they ought to be tended, look as she
should to the welfare of a ' loving nnd be
loved' husband, nnd find the time to im
prove herself snflicienlly after marriage to
compose a sensible letter to a friend, much
less writo newspaper 1 articles displaying
nonie knowledge of history and any
amount of I-have-my-own-way-ism. Wish
I could hear the curtain lectures Mr. '&c.'
gets! . What was there in the articles
signed 'Xenittie' to call forth such excite
ment except nnvarnished truth? Several
years ago the .. Y. Tribune dared to speak
disparagingly of the villainous cookery
usually practiced by tho majority of coun
try housewives. The wounded birds oil
cried out, and fluttered, and made a terrible
clamor, while those who escaped unharmed
sought quietly the hallowed repose of th
home nest, and lent their aid to the bc
seiged editors. '.'''';'" :
' To 'Lear' I have little to say. The la
dies could all have spared him the trouble
of proclaiming himself a ' bachelor,' for no
husband, or father, or even young man who
had been taught to respect. the ladies,
iToald write a mess of abuse to which a
spirited young lady will not deign to reply,
'jhatiiromen, in many places, is seeking
;honors and rights out of her sphere, I do
not pretend to deny. That she is treated
with more respect, often, than she deserves
' in society,' is an established tiuA bnt that
she is in many instances the rictim of wrongs
twbicb our laws cannot punish or will not
atef w as true as Xenittie would hare her
readers believe. . ,
Come, friends, let ns reason together.
f f '$e,' thinks the subject of the improve
ment and happiness of her sex too small to
interest her, she can leave the ' nonsense
corner and read and talk politic, while
those of 01 who can bring our minds down
to the work, will beg of the editor to have
patience, while we visit the abodes of mis
fortune, bring before the world s few of its
victiiM, and see if there a not something
wrong somewhere. '
Reader, glance with me through a few

husband's well-paid luwyer, and for the sec
ond trial she was pitied lr few. Her diffi-
cullies increased, until. Iu her desna'r. slid
left his home, taking with her the th Id for
winch she had suffered and to.led, while the
unfeeling futher had been ubsent in pursuit,
of pleaxiire or seated at the gambling table
of the village grocery. Of course, he was
enraged at the discovery of her absence,
, ...
and sought her out, for what? f o prom.se
amendment? Xo: lie Spoke not Of that
4 is business was to demand their child.
Theluw, he said, would give it to him,
when it no longer needed the mother's core,
and have it he must and would 1 What a
scene followed! Tears, entreaties to be
left without a dollur, only that she might
keep the child, were of no avail. A mo
ther's undying lovo overcame every other
Ming, and she returned to his home, to
liear anew the consequences of his neglect.
But there is a limit to human endurance,
and a second tiine sho sought her mother's
home. Tho husband commenced suit
against her, and the laws of our country
took froni the urms of that mother tho l.t
tle daughter, whose life wus as her own,
aud gavo it to the father's keeping! Read
er, this is no drawn picture this is fact.
and I could give the names of the parties
concerned. The mother knows not what
has become of her child, aud lives a l.fe
that none can envy iu the seclusion of her
mother's homo. The father attends his
club, talks politics, treats his favorite asso
ciates, and, it is said, contemplates a second
marriage, which report I hope is not true,
not that I care how soon he gets a Xan-
tippd for a second wife, but, to spare the
feelings of tiiat anguish-stricken mother, I
faiu would hope that no one will listen to
his address. . &c.', have you children? .
If so, what think, you of this? Friend
' Lear,' that self-same husbund nnd f.ither
would have been one of the first to' give up
his seat at the diinnr-tuble for those phiiu-
fuced ladies. It is not of men iu society
that ladies complain. ' Ardent ladies' may
wish to Control affairs of Church or State,
but what want, is to seo ludiis (ontent
(as some one has said) to use crall? for
bullotrboxes, iu which they have a right to
plant, not votes, but voters.
Before I leave this subject entirely, the
women slum receive a I.ttlo plum talk,
which they certainly need, concerning home
duties, as I know that woman's influence is
of great weight, unless her husband be a
brute, iu which case she has uo material
upon which to work ; but if children will
give up the idea of mating in babyhood,
they won't be half so apt to marry brutes.
Friend ' Lear,' you needn't ' propose' to
me. I am married to a husband who
takes care o( the baby upon all conveni
ent occasions,' mid who agrees with me iu
saying that your proposal, to Xenittie was
a disgraceful attempt on your, part to be'
sarcastic nnd wittv. I am interested in the '
welfare of tho unfortunate of my sex from j

J of each one! Summing up the entire
Aimrciin populul.on, including the men
employed ai the overland mail stations, and
allowing largely for transient persons, we
barely make two hundred and fifty. I think
tnis is very liberal estimate. Some of the
"oldest Inhabitants" hereabouts declare
that it Is impossible iu find even two hun
dred American ntsidents In this Territory.
The vote for Mr. Mowry is no criterion of
the population, for, to quote the President's
language, "it in alleged that rrtrybody
voted, men, women, children, Indians, and
greasers." I do not pretend to say that
such is tho ease I ouly give the common
rumor hereabouts.
The pnpuliit'o" of this Territory will not
increase until there is more security for life
and property against the Indians. Of late
tho Apaches are wor than ever. Twice
within the last wetk have they been at Tu
bacat night, steuljig stock from the corals;
and it is not ten days since, iu bro. d day
light, within a lew hundred yards of town,
they r in off fourteen mulrs. Being pursued,
the Indians lanced three of the mules and
escaped with tho remainder. This is
the second . time within n year thut
Mr. Ynm y, owner of the mules, has becu
robbed by the Pinal Apaches. '
On the 2Gth, two sergeants nnd their
wives, triveling from Fort Buchanan to
the Rio Grande, w.ro nttukcl ut Whet
stone Springs, only eighteen miles from the
fort, by n war party of Apaches. Sergeant
Killy was shot dead; Sergeant Birry fell
mortally wounded lit the first discharge of
arrows. And now occurred a piece or hnr
der In roism. The women, instead of scream
ing unci fainting after the usual feminine
style, seized the revolvers of their slain linn
bundii and commenced firing at the Indiuns
with such acenr.iry that tho murderous
wretches fled without booty.
Intelligence of the attack reached the
fort somehow. Captain Kwejl, the com
mander, with a detachment oFdngoois,
was absent nt Dragoon Si-rings, assist ng
Dr. Steilo, the Apnclic ngci t, iu his attempt
to make a treaty w.tit these same Indians,
but Lieut. Lord, with fifty troopers wus
soon on the trail. This is a sad uffair.
Both the murd 'i'ed men were steady,
honorable,' deserving soldiers, nnd their
mcliincliolly fute is deeply regretted. Ser
geant Kelly had been in the service twenty
yenrs, and Serjrennt Berry fifteen years.
Even Doctor Stick, the worthy ngent of
the Apaches, was robbed of eight mules, a
few nights ago by the Pinal Apaches, with
whom he is endeavoring to treat. It is la
bor thrown away. 2'o dependence can be
placid upon them, and before any moral
suasion doctrines can be employed they re
tiu're a bloody clmstist ment.

The Ren River or British America.
This beautiful and fertile region, lying,
northward and westward of the sources of
the Mississippi, nnd eastward of the Rocky
Mountains, is hardly known or heard of in
the United States, yet is said to be one of
the finest regions on the continent of Amer
ica. A settlement was made there some
fifty years since by a party of Scotch pec-
pie, under a grunt made by the Hudson's
Bay Company to Lord Selkirk, one of the
proprietors of thut company. This settle
ment, situated as it is upon the proposed
line of the British Pacific Railroad with a
hardy and industrious population number
ing over ten thousand, born upon the soil,
and knowing every inch of ground in the
great valley in which they live, must give
great fucil.ties to the enterprise, and assist
much in its early accomplishment.
Pcmbinn, its chief town, has schools and
churches worthy or the descendants or.
Scotch Pn sbyti rians, to wlioh church
most of thein bclonjr. A large pnrt of the
Air trade centers here; and its products ,
lutterly have found their way to St. Paul,
Minnesota, on the navigable waters of the
Mississippi traders with trains of hun
dreds of ox carts, laden with the products
of the chase, annually visiting that pluco to
dispose of them iu exchange for such goods
as they require. As a proof of the abun
dunce of ganio in tliot valley, we give the
following from the Suu Francisco Bulletin:

j ny scHlhless; it is by holding fust to those
things which nre certain still tho grand
simple landmarks of morality. Iu the dark
est hour through which the human soul can
puss, whatever elso is doubtful, this at least
iscertain. If there be no God, and no fu-
ture state, yet even then, it is better to be
generous than selfish, better to bo chaste
than licentious, better to be true thau ftdse,
better to bo brave than to be a coward.

A writer in Tail's Magazine says: "Mtir
riagc is not often tho golden renl.ty young
women seem to think it; neither does it so
materially alter tho thnructerns they would
fancy . Tho ' cross old maid,' if she had
changed her state, would hnvc been simply
the cross old wife. 'The boy is father to
the man;' and ti e young woman may fairly
be called the prototypo of the old one. If
a wo-innn be a cheerful member of her own
household, smoothing every difficulty in her
path, and culling hnppiiuss us the bee
draws homy, even from poison-flowers, then
she will grow into that most estimable of
nil good beings n cheerful, benvolent,
beneficent ' old nuiid,' an honor to tlie name,
a glory to the sex. There will be no re
pining, nor selfish regrets tit what might
have been. She w.ll take thu cup that
God holds to her, and though it be not
highly spiced, rniso it to His prnisc.--Amoug
England's women thousands of such
ure to be found; but they make no noise iu

Mohliness Is occasioned by the grow th of

Thus, Russian leather which is perfumed
with the tar of birch, never becomes moldy;

Uses of Iomne. Dr. Uoinct, of the
French Academy of Medicine, in a paper '
which he recently rend, asserts that, by the
introduction of Iodine into tho duily food
of persons laboring under scrofula, ulcerous
hubits, diseases of the skin, opthnlmia, en
ries of the bones, &c, they may be cured
in a few months. Dr. Boinet proposes to
iodise bread, cakes, syrups, &c, simply by
the introduction of such plants us nutufnlly
contain Iodine, namely, all kindsof seaweeds
nnd cruciferous plants; or dso by using tho
wutirof iodised springs, or suits containing
tiie same principle. Under these forms the
quantity of Iodine is so small us to commu
nicate no peculiar tautu to the edible sub
stance. Hoors. Leigh Hunt goes into ecstacicd
while describing tho additional beuuties
which tlie hoop adds to the female figure.
" When the hoop is large, and the swell of
