Henceforth Mabia PicoOtosnw was ‘a public singer. „ | From Florence she started, in 1852) on a professional tour through Italy, performing at Rome, Palermo, Verona, and Turin. ■At this last place, she appeared in “La Traviata,” and throw herself into tho character (revolt ing,as it must be to a virtuous mind) with an intuitive perception of the effects which, in the acting as well as the singing, arereqnired to make it impressive. ~ These four years of practice were of im mense advantage to this.young singer—just as, on the dramatic. Btage, that probation called “roughing it-in the, provinces” 1b of use to an actor. She learned the manage ment of her voice j she had constant practice in singing, under the criticism of audiences to Whom music Is second nature, as it weraj she acquired the trick of acting, which singers so much neglect—as in the cape ‘of Biuunoli, for example, who cannot walk the stage with out being laughed at for' bis clumsy awkward ness—and she became mistress of many of the numerous methods by which judicious bye play gives’ effect to vocal expression. At last,,in 1866, at the age oftwenty-one, she was, engaged by Mr., Lvmlvx. (actually by Lord Wabd, tho actual lessee) to appear at her Majesty’s Theatre, in London. At that opera-house, to bo merely engaged as leading prima donna, is as mnch a pre sumption of ability, as to bo entered for one of the great races on the English turf is of the blood, and speed of a horso. Success at the Opera-house (to carry out the comparison) wins henor and money, just as the horse which comes in ahead for the Derby, at Epsom, ob tains for his owner, largo stakes and what Dia haeli calls “the blue ribband of the turf.” It was in “La Traviata” that Mab'ia Fio coiokini made her debut in London. It is a character in which she sings and acts admi rably, and she made a decidedly triumphant impression. In one evening, her reputation as a first-class dramatic vocalist was estab lished, beyond doubt. - This pro-eminence she maintained during the whoie season. Per sonally, also, she,was very popular among the Jtaute noblesse aud " upper ten” of England. To them, she appeared not only as an admi rable singer, with most pure and irreproach able, reputation, bnt alse.as the daughter of a princely house. Far from looking upon hor as a more adventurer, who thought, with Jo- ASHA Wagnee, that “ the Engiish are to be esteemed only for their money,” they con sidered her as a woman who had taken up tho art, chiefly because she loved it. And thus, admitted into familiar intercourse with tho very first circles in England—circles into which ' mere wealth never could win en trance—Signora Piooolomihi obtained “ hosts of friends.” The result was seen in tho pe cuniary success of her benefit. The theatre was filled, and tho presents, in jewelry and money, are said to have equalled tho amount received fer the sale of tickets. From London sho passed oyer to Paris, where her reception was nearly, but not quite equal to that in the lormer city. She returned to England in 1887, and played that season in London, occupying herself in the autumn months by singlDg at concerts in tho leading cities and towns of Engiand,lreland, and Soot la,®!. Every where sho won popularity—and cash. During the present year, she repeated her career of 1858, with somewhat diminished success in London, where an ’ impression pre vails that Bho has sung rather of late. In the provinces, her attraction seemed undi minishod. In Dublin, on her last visit, shortly before starting for this country, occurred the incident which supplied a subject for satirt In tho last-received number of Punch. . This design, entitled “ Twin Stars, or Bival Italian artists,” represents Cardinal Wiseman and Signora Fiooolokini standing on tho top of a chariot, from which the pops lace have removed the horses, and have placed themselves in harness, to draw the rival per formers through the streets. The Cardinal, in full costume—robe, hat,’stockings, and cro sier—seems addressing the multitude; and no. man can do so more eloquently.

Our Delegate, Sylvester Mowry, Esq , reached Tuo'son yesterday, to our‘great delight. ; I say delight, for this rea taonaXHe i»o» t been, made a'B<»a>y*-witposs of our wahfc Territorial '(irgonlz,T.t{bn. I shall men tion foots whfoh, I hope, may have some influence with members of Congress who may be opposod to our organisation. , As. a ,Territory, 1 do not urge the elaim as a matter of sympathy, or debate, but as an absolute necessity,-from which no man with ordinary'feelings of humanity oan appeal. As you are. perhaps, aware, the semi-weekly overlandmall commences running on, the 15th of the present month. Preparatory to tho fnitiative trip, the company have had a large body of men employed in building corrals and stations for the purpose of protecting the animals of tha mall party from the Indians. Seventy-fire miles east )f this place, and fifty miles from Fort Buchanan, is a place polled Dragoon Springs: the overland mail had a station built at this point, with seven men detailed to take ohnrge of the moles and forage—-four Americans and three Mermans (Sono-- tians). Oa Wednesday night an old gentleman named Burr was on guard, and the rest of the party were apparently asleep; bat, sad to relate, the'*Ainerioanß.alone were.wrapped in slumber, trusting for security to tbe vigilance of the guard. The Mexicans; rising stealthily from thoir blankets, procured two axes, and walking quietly up to tbe guard, who unsuspicious of ms companions was walking up and down in front of the corral, and dealt him a blow with an axe wbioh killed him instantly, he having nevor uttered a warning cry or-moved from tbe position in which ho bad fallen. Having succeeded in murdering this man, their work of death did not oease; returning to tbe in side of tbe corral, they Attacked two more of the Americans; one theyjtilled, the other they left for dead with his skull fractured completely across, and his brains hanging from the aperture; thoy thou started across the corral to make, an attack upon Mr. St. John, the remaining man; he having heard them or soon them striking Cunningham, was aroused; they ran upon hftn with their axes; bo warded their blows from his head, hut was ter: ribly cut iu - tbe arm, obe’st, and leg; he then rushed past them and seized his shot gun upon which they ran; but finding ho could not elevate it, ho took his six-shooter and cocked it; they re turned'to the attaok; he fired the moment they entored the door, upon which they fled and never returned. But the most horrible portion of tbe tale remains to be told. The wounded were left entirely alone, without assistance of any kind, for fivo days; lay ing on the ground suffering .the, tortures of tbo dsmned. In fact, so terrible were their sufferings that St John had determined to kill himself with bis revolver, had not assistance arrived within four hours. ' The San Antonio' and San Diego mail passed them on the fifth day. Having driven up to the station, the first sight which met their eyss was the dead body of old Mr. Burr. Thinking that perhaps the Indians had made an attack, they npproflohed carefully, but were hailed by St. John, who cried out for Goa’s sake to bring him water, Lieutenant Mowry and Colonel Leooh, of the rend commission, tendered all assistance In their power, and were' five hours dressing St John’s wounds. The sight was so horrible that Colouel Leeoh, a manor tremendous physique, fainted. They left a man with tho wounded, and sent an express for a physician to Fort Buohanan. immediately upon their arrival in this plaoo. There is a possibility of St. John's reoovery, if a physician reaohes tho Springs shortly, though it is thought his arm will have to bo amputated. A handful of maggots were taken from his wound in tho arm. The object of the Mexicans wus to steal the muloß end arms and oßcapo into Sonora. Now, Mr. Editor, this horrible tragedy ocourred within sovonty'four miles of one of tho most popu louB portions of our Territory, \yhafc, in the name of humanity and justiooare we to' do without some protection from the Government of the United $ tat 03? .Had the people of this part, of the Union boon outcasts from the pale of sooiety guilty of every orlmo in tho calendar, they could not bo treated with more injustice than they have been by the Congress of tho United States. Wo have evorv es sential requisitofor being one of tbelargost,wealthi est, and most impor ant Territories of the lie publio. A large and enthusinstio meeting was hold at Mesilla upon the arrival of Lioutonunt Mowry in that place, in whioh the people deolarcd their In tention of not voting fora Representative to tho Legislature of New Moxioo, nndoalling upon the Senator from that place to resign, wbioh he did immediately, having written his resignation in the meeting, atthesamotimoaoquiesolngintho aotlon of the people. Mr. Mowry addressed the meeting, and was en thusiastically reooivod by the people. To-night Mr. Mowry delivered a brilliant speech, which waß explanatory of hifl past ooutfo in re gard to the Territory, and leading us to hope that a Territorial organisation will bo given to us at the ensuing session of Congress. Mr. Mowry has made for himself hosts of friends during bis visit, and will be renominated without a dissenting vote. He goes from this place to Guaymas, tho seaport ot Sonora Thoro aro many surmises as to his objeot. What it may be wo do not protend to say. Peradventure ho mqy be spying out the land.

It would appear fabulous were Ito name’ to you thejiumber of silver mines which are at the present tsmo either being worked, or the discover ers only waiting for means toqarryon the work. However, 1 will mention some-of the most worthy of notice. Tho Patagonia mirie, in the 'Saq nfo mountain, wiifbe, I think, one of-the most productive', for the reason that the silver is united with lead ore, tho best combination for smelting'; a, company ia being formed to work it. In the same mountain, is the San Antoniomine/whiob has every warranty for being rich, and every sign by which old min ers can judge. In addition to this; and in the same- range again, are gold placeios, known to have been worked by tne.Mexioans. ! Copper is so oommon as to be a drag, absolutely a drug. Immense quantities of lidh ore can be found, but the facilities for transportation are so hard to obtain, and so costly, that it will not pay- j Our Bgrioultural resources are not surpassed in tho continent. , I have seen twenty ears of oorn taken from four stalks, and'in the same field aores of oorn, from twelve' 1 to fifteen feet high,;whioh were never touohed from the day they were planted with a hoe until they were out down, every stalk had large, ■fall-grown ears upon It. Crapes and peaches grow in the greatest abundanoe. For' wheat, the oountry oarinot be surpassed. : We held an election ori the 20th for delegate to Congress.

Dixon— My Dear Sir: A‘politi cal contest is in progress in the neighboring! State of Illinois, which has attracted much attontfon in all parts of the Union, and I cannot bht believe that great publlo consequences are likely to grow out of it, let It terminate as it may. I allude, of courpo, to the straggle going on between Messrs. Douglas and Lincoln, for a seat in tho National Senate. Grave and momentous questions, have been tinder discussion between these gentlemen, and tho most deolded ability hes been displayed by both of them. New and peculiar elements have of late found their way into this fearful strife for political asoendenoy. of a"nature to im part much needless bitterness thereto, 'and greatly to enhance the importance of the ultimate result. Calm and dispassionate men, wholly free! from, party ronco*. are beginning to perceivefbatdt has become imperiously necessary to counteract, the unscrupulous and tyrannical employment of Ex ecutive influence hud Federal official patronage for tbe patting down of a dreaded political-rival, and the defeat of sacred and venerated, principles of pubiio liberty wbioh lie at tho very foundation of free institutionssin this hemisphere ’ My own viows in regard to this contest are already suffi ciently well known, and I shall not, therefore, at present aunoy you with a formal declaration of them. -My objeot is very different; I wiljproceed to state it. You are the original proposer in Congress of that portion of the Kansas-Nebrnska act wbioh provides for the annulment of the Missouri Compromise. You are known to be a warm and enlightened pro slavery man in your opinions and feelings, and yon have signalized yonr devotion to Southern in stitutions on more than one noted occasion. ‘Your high reputation for integrity and patriotism,' your freedom from all party bias, your reputation' for intelleotual ability, ana your known familiarity with the noted Kanaas-Nabraska act In all Its aa spoots and bearings, induce me to propound a few interrogatories to you, an early response to whioh oannot but, in mv judgment, be productive of salu~ t&rv consoqtionoes Does the Kansas-Nebroska net justify tho course pursued by those statesmen who struggled la*t winter to drag a portion of the American people into the Union under a Constitution evidently not enstnmped with their sovereign will? Is the English bill approved by you, and. do you deem it, in the least degree obligatory at the present time? Do you regard the general onurse pursued by Mr. Douglas, both in the Senate last winter and In the progress of the canvas* now pending in Illinois, as worthy of sanction and commendation or the con*. Irary? Is the Administration in Washington justified in employing official patronage for the defeat of Mr. Douglas under existing circum stances? Is not snob an attempt on the-part of any Administration, and under any eironm stances, a gross abuse of power—a most dangerous violation of prinoiple, derogatory, alike to State Sovereignty and popular rights,-and "subversive of publio< morals? Do you not think that the time has arrived when it is incumbent upon good men of all parties, in some dignified and be coming mode, to hold kind, fraternal counsel with eaoh other for the publio welfare, and toco-operato heartily and energetically in such manner as may seem likely to prove most effectual, for the pur pose of getting rid forever of the existing oauous or conventional nominating system, under tho in fluence of whioh tho intellect and Virtue of tho oountry aro held in a state of shameful suppres sion ? Demooratio prinoiple?, dear to every en-' ligh toned patriot, are overthrown and trodden under foot in the snored name of Democracy— and men distinguished alono for imbeoility and servility of spirit, or for more serious faults and vices, are raised to the highest places of trust and dignity known to our form of Government; whilst a general corruption of the public morals is more than menaced, as the natural aud inevitable re sult of tho baneful working of this oauous system. These are serious and vital questions, from re sponding to wbioh a timid man would shrink, and a selfish time-server would reooil; but whioh, I confidently believe, you will answer, and answer promptly, fully, and in language of exnlioitncss whioh will leave no doubt upon the minds of any of your follow-olfizens, whether you are on the sido of your oountry at this perilous orisis in oar Rational affairs, or prepared to see the institutions of our fathers go down to min without one gene rous, manly struggle to resoue them from destruc tion. b lilt by the about one hundred years ago, at the time when this section was well populated with/ininers, and the fieldswere alive'with the Hooks and herds of the ranoheros.* Tho building isaboufcone hundred feet long and fifty,feet wide, and has been beautifully, .ornamented both upon the-inside and, front, bat is' fast falling to rains.

Candidly, , speaking, this is. the life of every,settlor. . I myself have, known instanoes of males being stolen whloh’were tied to the door wily thieves. This ranch is-finely situated, arid' possesses- every fa-, oility for cultivation. The owner haa a large quantity of edrn plnnted, from whiqh he expects a bcuntiful return. The Rio Ventou is, a beautiful stream, but partakes of tho same feature. aa .all the rivers of the country—that is, it' rises, and; after running a tew miles,- sinks, to rise again pro bably twenty miles distant. - We proceeded to the' Lopori ranoh, through an undulating.country, splendidly adapted to stook raising until we ar rived at the ranoh. Here again we saw large Holds of blooming oorn, enough to make our hearts bound'in this wild oountry—looking upon,some marks,of reviving oivilUstlon, and at,the same time recalling thoughts of pur old homes in the States. This ranoh is contiguous to the oelebrated Lopori mine, whloh is sow being worked by. the Lopori Mining Company, although the progress is slow, as everything must be in so wild s' oountry as this; yet there is very plain evidenoe that,the work is in the hands of energetio men. There is, no situation In the oountry better‘adapted for a mining buoienda than this—fine water, fertile and productive soil, and the mine distant but a mile, enough for convenience, without being crowded, we predict great success for theoom pany. 5 I have the honor to he, Very respectfully aud cordially, Tourfriend and follow-citizen, H.

'i y ‘ - ' ' - *' * " I havp ; heretofore freely denohnoed,and shall hereafter ! take, the' liberty of denouncing in lan guage of unmistakable plainness, the'conduct of the Administration for some months past, in their efforts kfdefeat andputdowna meritorious and accomplished statesman, by siioh means as have never been heretofore, to the same extent at least, resorted, to, because be was'hot willingto prosti tute his own conscience in^obedience toExeoutive behests, and I have eharged, as I shall continue to oharge, Mr Buchanan and bi# constitutional ad visers with having shown themselves ! alike un faithful to the best interestsof the Southern States of tho- Confederacy,.- and. .to ,the'vltal principles of popular freedom everywhere. I charge them with having tramplerfunder footall the essen tial principles 'of republican-government in-the scheme - projected by • therm for tbe establishment, of a written Constitution over a portion of the American people, over whom ltrwae to'be supreme in its'operatlon, which so-called- Constitution not only ; did not embody.the .will of the.people among whom ife was to bear oontrol,'but'to wbioh every reasonable man on the continent knew them to be utterly opposed, I accuse this Administration of. having attempted to revive the main distinguish* ing"feature of the Missouri Compromise; -for it is . mosfc evident to my mind that if tho Federal Go-. vernment,.wlth its confessedly .limited powers, has authority virtually to ordain a sTate .Constitution, and give it operative foroe among any portion of our free people, wbioh Constitution shall in terms provide for the establishment - and'maintenanoo of. .slavery,, tbe same Government oan also, .at its. , pleasure, oause to be and put in exe cution, a Constitution'prohibiting the introduction or continued existence of ‘slavery altogether; and, by doing so, tp render, the act repealing, the Mis-. . sour! restriction altogether null and ineffective. . I hold'this Administration responsible for da-. . Ting* to' proclaim*, in a grave official document, marked with, the fullest deliberation, tbe .danger ous, .heretical, and .truly antt-republiean doctrine, that a bare majority of the voters ’ may, at their discretion, 1 change, modify, or" overthrow the set* ,ored. organlo law; in violation of all its own forms ’ and restrictions, which absurd, aoarohioal, and -mob-jastffying if earned - into practical operation, would prove fatal to Southern institu tions, and the institutions of the whole country. I denounce thismost blundering and mischievous Ad ministration on acoountof theoordlal sanction which it has given to the alarming principle embodied in the.Engtish bill, that a sovereign State , may be admitted into the Union with a population less' than, the ratio'of-representation established by Congress; for if thi« t principle be carried into ef fect, (with the oertainty existing that there will be - twenty free States hereafter applying for admis sion to'one slave State,) It is dear that alLsueh n»,w . would be admitted;,with; the advantage of being allowed a representation in the' two houseg of• the National howeverinccfcslderablb; In-numbers, whilst tbe other States ,of.the i Union,.heretofore .admitted, would be-required to have a population far more numerous, - < * >-i.v-i • - 1 _ • , - I disapprove in.the fullest manner.the. conduct of .the Administration in bringing the patronage of the Government into conflict with’ tbe freedom of elections; end regard its course in this matter as anti-Demooratio,. arbitrary, and unconstltutlonol Tbe whole course of opposition to Judge Douglas and his politioal friends in Illinois, so Tar as Mr. ;Buohanan and his: Cabinet are concerned,' I re-, g&rcj as .illiberal, unjust, and, impolitic, deeply aisgracefal te thoße coboerned in it,'and danger ous to the Republic itself.

I will offer a, few suggestions. I agree you that there is no party organisation how existing capable (in itself, or by the hid of other organisations heretofore hostile,.through ihe< instrumentality of any, process of fusion yet pro jected) of remedying existing evils. The people themselves must aohieve their own redemption from party thraldom by their own noble,energies.' The' people must arm against the monster oauous. The people muafc cleanse the Augean stable; and 'weed away the plants of corruption. A spirit is ajbro&d wbioh promises great and speedy reform; and, ns a man not closely connected for several with any party organization, I am prepared to do all in my power as a true patriot and a lover of freedom, in co-operation with suoh others as may be found willing to enlist in tha fierce and. vital struggle now at hand, to free the land from op pression and dishonor, and renew thq felicity and the glories of our post history. j Of Jugge Douglas, personally, I have & few words to utter wbioh f could not withhold,{with out greatly wronging my own consoienoe. When I entered the United States Senate a few years sinoe, I found him & decided favorite with' the po litical party then dominant both in .the Senate and the country. My mind had been greatly pre judiced against him, and I felt'no disposition whatever to sympathise, pr to co-operate with him. It soon beoame apparent to me, as to others, that he was, upon the whole, far the ablest Democratic member of the body. In the progress of time my respect for him, both as a gentleman and a statesman, greatly increased. I found him socia ble, affable, and in the highest degree entertain ing, and Instructive in eooial intercourse.’ His power, as a debater, seemed to mo unequalled in : the Senate. He was industrious, energetic, bold, and skilful in the management of the concerns of bis party. - He was, the. acknowledged leador of the Demooratio party in the Senate, and, to con fess the truth, seemed to -me to bear the honors which enoiroled him with sufficient meekness. Such was the palmy state of hia reputation and popularity on tne day that ho reported to the Senate his celebrated Kansas and Nebraska bill..' On examining that bill, it struck me that it was de&oieut in one material respect; it did not ia terms repeal the restrictive provision to regard to slavery embodied in' tbe Missouri Compromise - This, to me, was a deficiency that I thought It im periously neoessary to supply- I accordingly of fered an amendment to that effect. My amend ment setftned to take the Senate by'surprise, and no one appeared more startled than Judge Doug las himself. He immediately oame to my seat and courteously remonstrated, against my amend ment, suggesting that the bill whioh he had intro duced was almost in the words of tho Territorial aots forthe organization of Utah and New Mexico; that they being a part of tbe eompromi&e measure of-1850, he had hoped that I, a known and zealous friend of the wise and patriotio adjustment whioh had then taken plaoe, would not be inclined >to do anything to call that adjustment in question or weaken it before the country. I replied that it was prooisely because I had been, and was, a firm and zealous friend of the Compromise of 1850, that I folt brand to persist in tho movement whioh I had originated ,* that I was well satisfied that the Missouri restriction, if not expressly repealed, would oontinue to operate in the Territory to whioh it had been applied, thus negativing the great and' salutary prinoiple of non-intervention, which constituted the moat pro minent and essential feature of the plan of settle ment of 1850- We talked for somo time amicably, and separated. Some days afterwards Judge Douglas came to my lodgings, whilst I was con fined by physical.indisposition, and urged me to sot up and take a ride with-him in his oarriage I acoopted his invitation.aud rode out with him. During our short excursion we talked on the sub ject of my'proposed amendment, and Judge Doug las, to my high gratification, proposed to me that I should allow him to take charge of tho amend ment and engraft it on his Territorial hill. I no* oeded to the proposition at once, whereupon a moat interesting Interchange occurred between us. On this' oooasion, Judge Dougins spoke to me in substance thus: “I have become perfectly satis fied that it is my duty, os a fair-minded national statesman, to co-operate with you as proposed in scouring the repeal of tho Missouri Compromise restriction. It is due to the'South; it is due to the Constitution, heretofore palpably infracted; it is due to that oharaoter for consistency which I have heretofore labored to maintain. Tbe re peal, if we Can effect it, will produae much stir and commotion in tho free States of the Union for a season. I shall be assailed by demagogues and fanatios there, without stint or moderation. Every opprobrious epithet will be applied to mo. ,1 shall be, probably, hung in effigy in many p»nces. It is mero than probable - that I may become permanently odious among those whora friendship and esteem I have heretofore, possessed Jhis proceeding may end my political career. But, Suiting under the tense of the duty which ani mates me, I am prepared to mako the sacrifice. I will do it." . . ‘ He spoke in the most earnest and touohing man ner and I confess that I wus deeply affected. I said to him la reply: “ Sir, I once reooguised you ns a demagogue, a mere party manoger, selfish, and intriguing- I now find'you a warm-hearted and starling patriot. Go forward ia the pathway of duty as you propose, iand though all the world desert you. J never vttll ” . The subsequent course > of this extraordinary personage now before the oountry. His great speeches on this subjeot, in the Fenate and else -1 where, have'slnco been made. As a true national ! statesman—as an inflexible and untiring advocate i and defender of tbe Constitution of bis country— I ns an enlightened, fair-minded, and high-soulea f'phtriotVhe nas fearlessly battled for principle; no has with singular consistency pursued the course which he promised to pursue when we taifeea to gether in Washington, neither turning to the right notto this left.
