overcoming thc.e sayages hitherio has eN- i.tpd not ,o much in their strength as m tue small number Of troops furnished Co huht them over the great extent Oi country when thev iubabit-nn area as D. Oad as the StatcS of Massachusetts, Vermont and New llamp shire combined Indeed, owing Co urcum- stances over which the military authoutIc' on tbis coast have had no control. there have been such frequent changes in the few troops assigned to the Territory, that none have had an opportunity Co become familiar with the country and the operations have neces- satily been dcsultory rather than continuous.
 Now that the war in the East is at an end, and regulars, Lot likely to be transferred, are Co take the place of the volunteers, an ofien- ,ive war. vigorously and per.istently waged by an adequate force, must speedily result in the subiugatiun of the Apaches, tO an eN- tent which will make those of them who survive but too glad Co go upon reservation and to remain there Such war will not only be the most humane and economical, but it would seem to be the only sure means of making life and property m the Territory entirely secure at an early day.
 lt is understood that Governor McCOr- mick's application for more troops has been responded Co by the assignment Ot six addl- tional companies to the Territory This is well, but 1t will make the entire force but little more than a thousand men, and not enough tO wage such war as we have sug- gested Not only for thc protection of the sturdy and deserving pioneers of Arizona, but for the speedy opening of that country n which this coast, at least, has a lively iu- terest, we hope the War Department will, AS fast a. possible, provide additional troops It would seem the part of wisdom to adopt a policy calculated tO hasten the hour when resources like those known to abound in Ari- zOna may bo developed without constant an- noyanCe from ,ayages, whose atrocities arc often cruel beyond dcscuption.-Im@.
 ARIzoNA--PEOTEcTIOSA AGAINST THE APACHEs.
 Notwithstanding the Indian annoyances in Central Arizona, mining operations there are being pushed with yig0r. In our next issue we propose to give a list of the quartz mills and some description of the mines lt i- pleasing tO know that Governor Mccormick application for more troops has met with favorable response, and that four ncw cumpa nies have been assigned to the region ar0unC Prescott, two of which will go forward .b, the steamer of the 18th instant, while q, other two will probably follow by the ne&' subsequent steamer.
 lt Is the opinion of those well inf,rIne, that nothing but the hostility Of the Indian. which delays and iutercepts all business, pre- vents the speedy occupation of Central An zJna by large population and the success iul development 0f mines of great value ", understand that Governor Mccormick vii remain in this city until the last q0g,a O troops are ready Co embark, wheu he vii company them to Arizona.
 lt Is much tU be regretted tbat the WI Department cannot be brought to realiz, more fully the actual condition and needs e such portions of our Paciic Territories, am the great overland route, ss are -eriousl, troubled by ihe presence of hostile Indi ans. If the entire business of protecting on Territories against the Indians could bl placed in the hands of men who are intimate iY acquainted withIndian habits and warlaie the security would be vastly increased. whill tbe cost would be immeasurably lessOnrd We have no dDubt bat that the military su tborities on this coast, who have been brought face tO face with these difficulties. fully un derstsnd and admit this iact but we supp0s, the Washington authorities are SO nnbue, with the necessity and importance Of the ol, red tape system Of military operations, tha any effort Co change the same would be c little aEail.-Nuziag asd SeieAt.fe Pres.
 No Ariznnian can pcruse the foregoing ar ticles and fail To be convinced that the Gov ernor's visit to san Francisco has been G great benefit to the Territory. It has no only served to arouse the military authoritiei to activity, but to excite the press and peo ple on our behalf, and we do not wonder tha the Arizonians in San Francisco las we hea by every rnail) feel much encouraged, anC under la ting obligations to the Governor whose efforts have been so entirely successful He has iabored, as he always has, for the bes interests of the Territory, and every fan minded man Niil accord will credit.
