VILLAGE ORcANIkArioN.--At intervals for gear Pasi it has been prPIe-ed ie iRccrpo- rate Prescott as village. There arg reasons why this should be doue. The grading of thc strccts, the protection of trees, the sup ply of wells, ami the preservation of order, are among the number, and if an incorpors- tion can bo had without material increase Of taxation, we think 1t desirable. Under chapter iiity-two of the Howell Code, any number of legal voters, mol les than iilieeu, may make application for the incorporation of village io tae board of county eonmis. sioner. ef the county iu which II Is located, but hufEr making application they shall eau-e au accurate census to bc taken of the resident population. If the board of ooiatnis- sioner. aavar she application thqy shail ap- point three inspectors of election ,o hold the tirst election rcquirei by the chapter. They shall also apFoin, ,he time and place of hold. ing the election. The oiIlcers of the village shall be a prcsidcni, siN. trustees, two ssscs- sor.. one tnsr.isai, oue tre@snrsr. one clerk one street commissioner and one pound mas ter The duties of these officers are laid down in said chapter flfty;wo of the Howell coie.

A LETTER from Pima Villages, February 10th, says: "General Mcdowell arrived here on the l2th, and left for Tucson on the 18th. While here hc inspected the two Indian com panies (Pimss and Maricopas) and cxprcssed himself much pleased with the way they kept their arms. These Indians are preparing for campaign against the Apaches, and it k their intention to start at the full of the moon. The papagos sent in n messenger while the General was here, offering their services to the government to help fight the Apaches, if they should be furnished with arms and am munition, and rations while on campaigns. It K understood that their services will be accepted. ES-probste Judge Hayden has been unfortunate, his train while in Sonora was seized by the French. He went down io see the French General at Guaymas about it and was detained prisoner. The reason given for this act Is, that party of guerillas cap tiired Prcnchtrain and brought it up into Arizona and sold it to some Americans, and the French General has declared that he will not release lIayden's trpia until the other k returned. Three companies of the second California cavalry have passed through here during the past two weeks, on their way to California Co be mustered out. They have been stationed at rubac and the lower DOT tiun of the Territory

THE CLAIE AGESrs IN TRIRrLATIoS.-No business in Washington has suffered a sever CT blow recently than the Claim Agency profession. Charitable persons have been putting discharged soldiers and sailors on their guard against these sharks, and as a consequence their correspondence has fallen off. Nearly half the offices in Washington at the close of the war have been shut up, and the balance are doing very meagre business. Soldiers who attempt to prosecute their own claims in the departments are more than ev- CT courteously attended to, and are uniform ly successful. .tet e. as,...tt..,,..,.

 CsNp LINCOLN, Arizona, Feb. i5, 1866.
 EDIroR or ARizosA MNER. .- This has been a day of great rejoicing here. \ party of company F., Arizona volunteers, under Lieutenant Gallegus. which left here on the llth instant, at seven o'clock Il. m, returned reporting great slaughter of Apachcs Af- ter trayeling two nights and resting by day, they found Apache signs, and scouts were sent out from the main body to ascertain the exact position of the enemy When found they returned and the whole body moved to within sight of the Apache fires, but occupied secluded, position until two o'clock m the morning, when the command was formed into three divisions. and moved in front of certain caves where the sayages were sleeping. These were arranged one above another, something like the COsnno caves, and when the attack Was begun aL Aho nEHN desperate. The Apaches were taken by sur prise, their dogs not even hearing the ap- proach of the troops, so stealthy was their march. Some of the Indians declared that they would not surrender, and one who called himself captain constantly deiied the troops from sn elevated and secure position, whence they could not dislodge him. All of the caves that were accessible were iitied with dead and wounded. Some thirty are believed to have been killed outright. Thirteen scalp, were brought to camp, and twelve prisOncrs, two squaws and ten children, one of the lai ter has since died.
 Seven of the volunteers were wounded but none dangerously. When it is rCmcnbcred that these men had only rough nwhide san dals of their own make, packed their provis- ions on their backs, and travelled nearly one hundred miles in so short time. the results are greatly to their credit They are the men. in my Judgment, Co rid the country of the Apache. Give them chance and they will make their mark every time. They arr yer, happy over their victory and eagcr for another expedition. have oaepvd them a dollar. worth ssf tobacco for etera Apache they Kill in ths future, that they nlsy sin0ko the pipe of peace over the I-Aneabie and harmless condition of those who fall under their guns.

Srw PRoCEss.--The San Andreas Rcg5sier has been informed that Mir. Bowie, who has been engaged in building mill near town has perfected a process of reducing quartz so ss to extract all the gold from the rock. lt is done by means of heated steam; which is brought into contact with the rock and slackens it as water slackens lime. He has made a practical test of a lead situated in Angels, which has been worked, but which could never be made to pay over three dollars per tun. The Register is told that by this process this same rock yields five hundred dollars a tun. If this is correct 1t is destined to bring about a revolution in quartz mining, which will make this one of the richest sec tions in the State; for by this process nearly every lead in the country will pay.

SENATOR PoNrRor, of Kansas, has again in- t9oduced bll for the improvement of the navigation of the Colorado, and road to Prescott. IT We are not mistaken this Is the same bill he proposed last winter, and in which the names of Governor Goodwin and Secretary Mccormick were used, without their knowledge or consent. It will be re- membered that the opponents of Governor Goodwin tried to make capital out of it against him, though we know he had no part nor lot in its preparation, and was of tho opinion we now hold, that unless much amended it ought not Co pass. We notice a sensible article against it in a recent number of the San Francisco Bnlietia.
