AGWcurrRE.--ln the House of Reprc~en- tatiycs on the 30th of December last, MF. Gas, chairman of the Committee on Agri- culture made the following ppOrti
 The committee On agriculture, have had under consideration. that subject. and beg leave to report through me as chairman, that they find this source of industry, m some portions of the Territory, in tourishing and prosperous condition, the agriculturist rcaping the full reward cf his laborS, while in others it is retarded and rendered unproii- table bv the continual and unccasing steal ing of the red skins who are ever on the alert to pillage, devastate and murder. Agriculture must soon become one ot the greatest resources of this Territory, and should at once have the strong arm of the government thrown around it, to enable the people to become selfsustaining, and not be compelled to import at the highest prices, produce which they can raise within thelr own Territory. Under the present uniayor- able circumstances the producers hopes Tor abundant and remunerative crops, arc blight ed by inroads made continually by the lurking relentless savage.
 Arizona comprises some of the most fertile valleys on the Pacific coast, and no State Or Territory in the Union affords greater facil- ities for grazing. The climate is most sa!u- brious, and inviting to the agricultural, vegetables of all kinds can be raised in the greatest abundance, and of the most excel lent quality. Small grain of all kinds IS raised with success, and sugar cane is cultiye' ted extensively. In Pah-Ute county sugar mills and refiners have been erected for the manufacture of sugar and sirup which have proven a success, giving the proprictors am ble reward for their investments. Cotton and tobacco can be raised in all parts oi the Territory with profit to the producers, and will yet become the staple products of some portions of the Territory. Agriculture being the heart and vitality of the Territory it should be better guarded, and more amply provided for, than any other branch of busl- ness. From its present morbid condition m some portions of Arzona we beg leave to report tine necessity of troop, being e-- tablished in the vicinity of all the agricul- tural districts. and we would recommend the propriety of bringing the subject to the consideration of the military commander Of this Department. On motion, tac .cPc-: was adopted.

MURDER AsD SUIcIDE.-The Santa Fe Ga- 1ette says: On the night of the 3d of De- eember melancholy occurrence took place at Taos, in this Territory, which resulted in the death of Alfred Bent, son of Governor Bent, who was also murdered at Taos by Mexican conspirators, shortly after the occI- patton of the Territory by the Americans. 4 man by the name of Greek George, thus called because he was of Greek nativity. it appears, from the information we have. de- liberately shot at Bent with revolver the shot taking effect in tine right side, the wound proving fatal on the sixth day after it was inflicted, Bent dying December 9th Before the fatal shot was fired there were no angry words passed between the parties, nor, as we understand, was there any personal enmity existing between them.

BULLION FROM FL DORADO CANoN.-The first important aFrivsl of bullion from the mines of Fl Dorado Canon, on the Colorado river, was received by Wells Fargo < Co. yesterday by the Oriza5a, which arrived on Thursday evening. The amount is within fraction of S2O,0O0, and was taken out by the Colorado mill, from ore taken from the Queen City and the Techatticup mines. The per ton yield of the ore, from both uines, exceeded the anticipation of all parties interested and as consequence, the holders in all the other mines of that district are in high spirits at the result. The announcement on the street yes terday of this important arrival, created quite an interest among holders of Colorado stock generally; and we presume the shareholder. who have heretofore been somewhat neglect full of such stock, will look closer in future after their interests in that quarter. Those who do not, may look out for lively time with the jumpers.
 This item is from the San Francisco Mining Press of December %, and it Is such as we delight to see. This story will do more tC help Arizona than columns of finely written descriptions of the lodes and the climate.

GOVERNOR GeoDwIS EsDoRsED.-It will be remembered that at the late Arizona elec- ton Governor John N. Goodwin was elected Delegate to Congress from that Territory. Information has been received that the late Delegate, Hon. Charles D. Poston, intends to contest Mir. Goodwins right to the seat on the ground of fraud. Those who are ac- quainted with the Governor know that he would not stoOp tG commit mean act his past record is unblemished, and he enjoys the coniideDce and commands the respect of all who are familiar witL his noble traits of char acter, aud competent to judge of the worthy motives which always influence his conduct IL will be gratifying to his friends to read the concurrent resolutions unanimously adopted by the Arizona Legislature, December 5Oth,. lo6o' The Governor has good reason 10 be proud Of them, for they are an acknoHI- edgement of his fidelity, and completely re- flute the charges of his opponent- WRasfng- iss JoHrai Jan. 20.

THG PUBLIc DEBr.-It was considered one of the greatest achievements of Pitt that he devised a sinking fund whereby the public debt of England, if 1t could not be paid, might at least he prevented from increasing. \ Republican administration of the United States has done better than this When the expenses of the war can hardly be said to have ceased, the public debt is reduced twelve and three-quarter millions ia q single month. And this without extraordinary means, foreign or forced loans, subscriptions, or any resource but that derived from the r- come of the country. This is gratifying evil dence, not only to the competency of the ad- ministration in dealing with the case, but to the substantial prosperity and financial abili- ty of the country. There is no reason why this rate of reduction should not continue Sales of vessels, implements of war, stoppage of salaries, discharge of soldiers, and also the thorough hunting out and exposure of theits and rascalities which the government has wisely determined on, will add to the income Of the national Treasury, and strengthen our credit at home and abroad.

When we remember the big drum and the
two little ones, and the same number of ear
piercing flies, which made field music. and
band too, to so many Confederate regiments
during the late war, and the duty Of musi-
clans in time of battle, we confess strong
disposition to laugh outright at the following
grandiose passage from the address of Field
Marshal BENEDEK to the Austrian troops.
In assigning their duty to his men, he says
"The bands mark this, ye veterans of Ma
HOMES Brigade, and all other organizations y
will place themselves in rear of the front of
the respective positions, and will play heroic
pieces for the ,drlike dance" We are op-
posed on principle to italics but we cannot
forbear putting them in just here to sharpen
the Marshal's lofty defamation. There is not
much fun in an order Of battle, but this is
good enough for Punch. Oh! for one hour

The Vict0rs Vanquished.

Some time since we had occasion to give a
brief history of the combined movement,
naval and military, against Seguines Point,
which was taken by surprise; and lodge
ment successfully made by the invading forces.
This movement was made with all the pomp
and circumstance Of War, and EsoULAPrUs
donnsd the brazen armor of MARS for the &C.
casion. This was done under the plea of a
sanitary necessity, and the New York Herald
gravely talked about appropriatiug New
Jersey for Hospital purposes,
The Staten Islanders were sorely dis
mayed at this arrangement, and after look
ing at the great guns which frowned upon
them from the awful batteries of revenue
cutter; after studying in meditative recon-
noissance the splendid uniforms of the metro
politan police, they wisely concluded not to go
to war as they had at first threatened, but to
go to law. They accordingly got out an in
junction. They rammed this document into
the muzzles OF Captain FAUNcEs guns they
dimmed the glory of the shining buttons of
the policemen with this paper; and when
Judge BARNARD made it perpetual, they ex-
claimed with one voice peace hath her VIC
tories no less renowned than war;" and babe
farewell to the trucuent cutter, the hnmilia-
ted police, and discomffted Sanitary Com
mission, with ineffable satisfaction. This pro-
eeeding demonstrates that there is some law
left in the land North of the Potomac, but
what is to become of the cholera and the
cholera patients, is another matter.

Mr.. O'GOrman's Speech.

This gentleman pronounced, on the fourth
of July, an admirable address in New York,
which we regret cur limited space does not
permit US to lay before our readers. 1t is
full Of just and moderate views :. and his ar
gument against Capitalization" must have a
good effect upon those who read it at the
North, in bringing back their minds to a
thoughtful examination of the true theory of
Republican Government
The tone of his mastery argument in de-
fence of civil liberty may be inferred from
this one extract, He says;
The States ara equal, sovereign, and as
such, each of them has rights as inalienabe
as those of the Union, which was founded by
their consent; rights which cannot be for
fsited, and which it is revolutionary to deny
or assail.
