for E grand campaign against the Apaehes
have been published. The various commands
were TO start on the 25th Of November,
@continuing until the I0dians are either exter-
inflated or compelled TO accept such terms as
may insure lasting peace to the people of this
Territory A correspondent Of the Bulletin
writes from Arizona Is follows:
Not much * going on il Prescott in mining;
The redskins are too thick for prospecting or
working on a small scale. IL the meantime
some life infused by General Mason contracts
for hay and fodder for animals In every other
respect, the military have been Of no use what
ever, as no campaigning Is going on. The
Indians, 10 the meantime, swarm close around
all the military establishments and other settle
menis, and are worse than ever, preventing
prospecting or working except with strong
guard. Mason talks Of Winter campaigu-

this Indian demonstration, with force Of 3 500
men in the field during several months. has
been q siupendous humbug, and useless waste
OF public money Where the fault lies, out
siders cannot say but there has been a great
lack of judgment or of honesty somewhere No
good Indian fighter, with such force as Mason
commands here, would have left redskin ia
the country.
The following, from the Sacramento Bee, is
to about the same purport:
The Fourth Battalion United States In
fantry, recently arrived from the Eas', Is to
proceed at once TO Arizona, where. if reports
be true, there exists urgent necessity for its
presence. By all accounts, loyal men are in q
great minority there. Secessionisis have the

mand, that officer could ard should entirely
have relieved the Territory of all dread of hos
tile Indians, and. more than that, should have
put stop to the disgraeeful peculation By
which contractors are enrichiDg themselves.
The Marysyille Appeal publishes extracts
from private letter dated Prescott, Arizona,
Nov 18th, addressed to Capt W P. Gallo
way, formerly of Bangor, in this county, and
who, Ia 1861, raised a company for service in
Arizona. The writer says:
Things aye looking up considerably at pres
eut, and We do begin to lhiuk there Is d better
day near at hand for Arizona The Indian
difficulties are the chief obstacle to our progress
and success and when they are to cease is still
a problem ! am satisfied the troops here Will
do but little good for the Territory while Gen
eral Mason remains in command. He has too
many private speculationS to look after to be
Of much service as military commander.
The writer then proceeds to give some par
ticulars Of Peculadous, AID closes by saying be
thought operations in New Mexico beat the
world, bat he now claims Arizona takes the
persimmon. We understand that Captain
Galloway will return TO Arizona in the Spring
