Dispatches from England and Arizona mining news in 1860s column

The editor notes British dispatches critique U S policy while the government keeps core principles. Oregon admission and Pacific Railroad bills loom in Congress as Arizona mining interests form companies. Western labor unrest, a fatal Albany murder, ivy poisoning death, a London correspondent’s jab at Yankee naval prowess, a 28 foot shark in Gay Head, and pickpocket schemes on Staten Island are reported alongside tonnage comparisons and religious notes.
