of the whites was in every way most crehlta' ble. The eight animals killed chiefly belong ed to the mail company. The soldier wound ed in the cheek is recovering rapidly, as Is Mr. Buckman. Thaddeus has already started for Prescott-IIs L. here and ready for another fght-Ed Charley May and Mir Blakey started from here two weeks since with a nal, but returned alarmed at the presence oi Indian, at the Cottonwoods. The mail was again started on Monday last.
 Governor M, Cormi,k and wife arrived here yesterday (Saturlay) at noon They would hue bean in on Friday but for remain with ! Tibbctts' and Sllyerthornes trains while go- ! ing through the country from the Oaks and ] Willows to Beale Spring. We ewere surprised | to see the Governor and wife arrive here with an escort of five citizens, and it is a sorry commtnt upon Military affair, in northern l Arizona that our chief officer, travelling up"i, important public business, should aa to "a s through an hostile Indian country with so ! little protection.
 ! Last evening our citizens held q meeting to receive the Governor, and to adopt resolu- tions similar to those adopted in Prescott, re- : garding the Indian difficulties. The proceed ] ings of ,he meeting, which was large and en. thusiastic, and at which the Governor spoke, will be sent you.
 We are glad to hear that the people of Prescott are satisfied that the mali contract ors are doing their best. The mail arrive. from San Bernarjino with great promptness The stage came in this morning some hour. ahead of time. Messrs. lurgage and Bal lard, the agents for the mail contractors, art men of enterp ize and experience, and if any one can put the mails and stages througt promptly, they can. Our people are indig nant over the action of certain parties, who not willing to ask for mail service from :. Der nardinO to Prescott via La Pax, on the merit of that route, are trying to secure it by de nouncing this route. The communication t the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce ?. signed by Bowers and Bros, Moves and Co. and others of Prescott, is grossly incorrect and the interference of the Chamber of Com merce unwarranted. Saving for Indian trou bles, there has been no delay whatever in car rying the mails, and this route is considere, III every respect equal to that via La PaJ with the great additional advantage that b its eastern connection via Salt Lake it give the people of Prescott their eastern mail at much earlier day than by any other rout, This mail is much larger than that from Cal ifomia
 Il the people of La Paz desire mail seryic let them secure it fairly not by misreprc sentation and at the expense of this part , this part of Arizona, which is just as itnpoI tant as Yuma county. Information has jus
 reached here that the P. o. Department ha ordered service twire week from Salt Iak , via liardyville 10 Prescott. IL will be con menced at once.
 The Governor and wife, with Ben. Bloc and several other passengers. left here a
 noon to day in the stage, expecting to reac
 an Bernardino on Friday, and 10 take th
 steamer for San Francisco on Saturday. Co r and Mrs. Carter are at Fort Mohave. The
 drove up, with Major and Mrs Porter. to SC
 the Governor and wife, last evening. Mrs. ( will soon go east with Major and Mrs. P, an
 Col. Carter will return to Prescott in abou two weeks. A.E.D.
