MILITARY MOVEMENTS.

The scouting party under Capt. Williams
which went through the Santa Maria and
Williams Fork country, and was most of the
time accompanied by Gen. Gregg, returned
without finding any Indians or traces of any
and il is the Generals opinion that none live
in that part of the Territory lie attributes
the deprcdations there committed TO Indians
from the Colorado or from east Of Prescott
Capt Williams is stationed with his COM
pary at the Toll Gate on the Mohave road.
and will remain there for the present sending
out sconts upon that road and north and
south Of it. IL is thought that some If not
all of the Indians lately living near the No
have road and in the Black Mountain and
upper Verde county are moving north to the
district west of the San Francisco mountain
formerly occupied by the Nayajoes. There
is report. however, that numbers Of the
savages have lately arrived at La Paz. II
this is so il is all important that they be
kept there for il is great wrong upon the
troops 10 feed Indians and let them go at will
Rumor says that the men Of Capt Young's
company sth Cavalry at Mohave have mutt
MED and killed tie Captain and Lieutenant,
but we can find no confirmation of the
story and we think il an idle report. Col T.
r. Wright who has been i'll at Fort Whipple
for month past is about again.
Gen. Gregg has given orders for a scout
from the new camp Mcpherson 70 Black
Canon. His order No. 5. printed in another
column shows that he intends to keep the
troops on the move, and the policy seems TO
us the only wise one Ii he had six OF eight
companies Of Cavalry instead Of two he
could, by such activity, make short work Of
the red skins. When will the government
learn that the most extended and vigorous
measures are the most economical

Coon News rRoM IlARDYvILLE--A cor
respondent writing from liardyville few
days since says:
The Moss Mine mill has lately been crush
ing ore from the mine, and | am credibly in
formed. the result is highly satisfactory.
The ore crushed was supposed to be inferior,
and was worked by way Of experiment.
The result was so much better than was ex-
pected, that vigorous prosecution OF mining
and milling has been inaugurated, and as
soon as an additional pan is put in, we ex-
pect TO hear the continuous clatter OF the
stamps Cor many months. Some three hun
dred tons of this ore are now in sight, as | am
informed by the foreman. The encourage
ing report Of the last working has impaired
new fife and energy to every one here.

LAND AND SURVEYING DISTRICT.

Following is the act referred to by Delegate
Goodwin in his letter published May 4th,
and under which Arizona Is made a Land
District, and attached to the Surveying Dis
trict of California, instead of that Of New
Mexico, az hitherto:
An Act TO create the Office Of Surveyor General
in the Territories OF Utah and Montana and 10
establish land office in the Territories of Utah.
Montana and Arizona
BE Il enacted, etc. That the President, By aud
with the advice and consent of the Senate shall
~ and Is hereby authorized to appoint a Survey
~ General for Montana whose annual salary
shall be three thousand dollars, and whose power,
aathority aud duties shall be the same as provided
snail have proper allowances for clerk hire office

1urycyor General of Oregon SEC . That the

statute new land district TO he called the Montl
District the Utah District, and the Arizona
District, respectively and the President is hereby
aAlhorzed 10 appoint. lay, aud with the advice and
consent of the Senate, a Register and Receiver OF
public moneys for each OF said districts respect
lively, who shall hs required TO reside at the places
NJ which said Offices shall be located, and they
shall have the same powers, perform the same du-
ties, and be entitled TO the same compensation as
ARE, or may be prescribed by law in relation TO
land offices OF the United States in other Terrific
ries. Src. 3. That the Secretary of the Interior
is hereby authorized TO locate offices Of Surveyor
General and Registers and Receivers Of public
moneys. SEC. & That the Territory of Arizona
Is hereby attached TO the surveying district OF
California. Approved March ., 1861.
We presume the Land officers will soon be
here, and that Gen. Epson, the surveyor
general OF California, will begin his surveys
at an early day. The report that the sur
veys were interrupted by Indian hostilities
is not exactly correct. The surveyors were
afraid Of molestation and when, for the time
the commanding officer at Mcdowell could
not furnish them an escort, they made nc
appeal either to the General commanding the
District or to the Governor, but threw Up
their job at once. Rumor SAYS they found
the pay too low for profit, and this probably
had more to do with their withdrawal thar
the Indians. We trust Gen. Epson will no,
be alarmed by these Indian stories. Their,
are many points where no protection is need
ed and where it Is, we opine it can be haC
by taking the proper steps.

fixed at $4,000. The Judge announced
