W. II. HARDY AND TUE YAYApAI
 DELEGATION.

Mn. EDiroK - notice in the MINER of the 3Uth of November, a communication from the Hoy. Vim. II. Hardy, in regard Co the Indian troubles the mail carrier had to con tend with in bringing the mail through to Prescott; that they had started three dif ieTeiit tunes and had to return ss uffen that the mail was about starting again with a strong escort, and be had no doubt but they would have 10 fight their way throuea That We would not have the mails regular aniil the Indians were driven back from the nof7i Tor which purpose be could raise One hundred men m AlOnaSe county if they unl, uad show to organize. Blr as there Was none they would have to stay at home. which perhaps would be m re agreeable to toe Hon gentiemaiis feelings than Ii ighting lntiian, If he Is so anxious to organize his men and bring them into service, by referring to C maittla law, page one hundred and sixty one chapter twenty one, sections six, seven an eignt ui the HOweH Code, be will hnd all the law that Is necessary. But hi, excuse i. there Is no show to organize. and why. b. cause the Ranger Bill as introduced and passed in the House, but was lost m the Council, was the law by which he anticipated organizing his lUO men and bringing them into service. The loss of whi.h. and the pro- lection it would have offered the people oi A1zona and particularly those of Yayapai county, the Hon. gentleman feels very sore and censures the action of the Yayapai Dele. gatIOn in the Legislature, and gratuitously ad yIses them to do something for their eoun- try all oi which IS auly appreciated, and in return, would inform the honorable gentle man that l do not think there Is any law tu prevent him from buying his own horse aul ' n fks.df (. .-,. .E. U
 Bill. lf be feels as deep an interest in the welfare of the Territory, ami rhe putting down 0f tine Indians as he wogl have us be i lieye, wOui recommend that le and the one hundred men of MOhaye couutv e,iloK, th, example Oi the citizens Of Yalalai count, and fit out thirty mounted men with arm and subsistence, and send them out To hunt ' the Indians in concert with the Prescott k ngeis now on the scout along the road be tween Prescott and liardyyille lIe will do more towards putting down the Indians and opening the road SO that we eonld have rec
 nlar mail service, than he can ever effect by remaining at Hardyyile with his one bu1 dred men under the excuse that there is po law by which he can organize and bring them into service. If he has one hundred men who are willing to noun, arm and eouit themselves, as provided for in the lost Rano.r Bill, he will have very little trouble in get ting thirty men organized under the malitio law of the Territory, and started on the scout without delay. And as the honorable gen
 tleInan Is so ready to offer gratuiiou. advice he will not deem it amiss if should recom- mend to the citizens of Mohaye county that they elect their Hon. member of the onncil their commander. 1 am certean that if he does not make an active an efficient officer m showing them how to kill Indians, he can at least tell them how be thought it might be done. Being thus employed he would have less occasion 10 complain of the Yayapai Delegation. If they have erred it is the privilege of the citizens of Yayapai county to complain, and not the Hon. W. II Hardy.
