GES. JAMES II. CARLETON has been bre-
vetted Major General in the regular army.
The n Y. World opposed the promotion on
the score Of mismanagement by Carleton in
New Mexico. The Santa Fe Gazette says his
administration has been excellent, and that
be has done more for New Mexico than all
his predecessors. In the recent Territorial
Convention, Hon Francisco Perea introdu-
ced the following preambles and resolutions
which were unanimously adopted:
Hhereos IL has come 10 the knowledge Of
this convention that Brevet Major General
james II. Carleton has been relieved from
duty as Commander Of this Military District
by orders from the Department Commander.
Aad Wbereds this is an appropriate occasion
for an expression OF the sentiments of the
people in regard to the services rendered in
their midst by our retiring commander.
Therefore be it
Resolred, That the gratitude and thanks oi
the people Of New Mexico are due and are
herby rendered nv their representatives in
conventions assembled, to Bvt Mai. GEM
James II Carleton, U. s A., for the able
+! impartial, honest and successful manner in
which he has administered and Conducted the
military affairs Of this Territory during the
last four years and half
Resolved, That the subjugatiorl and reduc-
ton to the limits Of reservation, Of the
Navajo Tribe Of Indians, 1.-THE most powerful
and warlike enemies Of the people Of thi:
Territory within the short space Of one
year, is an accomplishment unequaled in the
annals of Indian warfare, and has been the
means OF restoring 10 our people their an.
Gent peace and tranquility, and for this sue
cess the people Of New Mexico will ever re
main under obligations to Gen'l Carleton.
/ On the 9th OF March Byt. Mai. Gen
George Sykes assumed command OF the Dis
trict Of New Mexico, and we believe Gen
Carleton after years leave of absence will
join his old regiment, the 9th cavalry, o
which he is Major.

FRuir TREEs.-We are glad to observe
that the enterpising and deserving individu-
ais who lately brought supply Of fruit trees
to Prescott have found sale for them, and that
most of our gardeners and ranchmen have
planted some. We believe the climate favor
able at least to the harder fruits, such as
apples and pears. In this connection We
publish the following important rules to tree
planters, given by John j. Thomas, which il
needed, would save thousands Of trees from
destruction, and make many people richer
and happier
/. II the roots Of a tree are frozen out OF
the ground, and thawed again in contact
with air, the tree is killed.
2. IL the frozen roots are well buried, fill
ing all cavities before thawing at all, the tree
is uninjured.
3. Manure should never be placed in con
tact with the roots Of tree in setting II
out, but old finely pulyerized earth compost
answers well.
4. Trees should always be set about as
deep as they stood before digging up.
3. A small or moderate sized tree at the
time Of transplantng, will usually be larger
bearing tree sooner than n larger tree SET
out at the same time, and which is checked
necessarily in growth by removal.

AVERAGE YIELD OF GRAIs.-The Com
missioner OF the Agricultural Bureau at
Washington publishes statement showing
the average yield per acre, in the States east
of the Rocky Mountains, of the various
grains in 1866. The lowest average yield in
any one state was seven bushels OF wheat 20
the acre, and the highest II g per acre. The
average yield in So States was fraction less
than 10 bushels per acre. In California the
average yield was 20 bushels, and in Oregon
70 bushels. 1t will be noticed that the av.
erage yield of wheat in the two Pacific States
was over $50 per cent greater per acre than
it was in the States east Of the Rocky Noun.

Conn CoSTRAcTs.-A foolish story has
been in circulation during the past week to
the end that the government contracts for
corn recently made here by Col Baker had
been disaprroved at San Francisco. The
facts are simply these: Col Baker had no
forms for the contracts, and several papers
were required at San Francisco in addition TO
those forwarded by him. Brvt. Brig Gen.
Kirkham, chief quartermaster Of the De
partment, sent word that he was pleased
with the price at which the corn was bought,
and would have confirmed the contracts at
once but for the lack of these papers. Col.
Baker forwarded them at once and expects
to hear by the mail due to-day, that all the
contracts have been approved

A Travelled Cow.-Among the cows sto-
len by the apaches from Mr.. G.. Banghart,
at Postle's ranch, % miles north Of Prescott,
few weeks since, was one aged IL years,
which he raised himself, upon the river
Thames in Upper Canada In the spring Of
1857 she was driven to Atchison county Mis-
souri,. In the spring Of 1858 she was driven
over the Beale route, towards California as
far as Bear spring, west Of the San Francisco
mountain in this Territory, whence the party
was forced back BY Indians, and she was kept
at Fort Stanton, New Mexico. for two years
lost hundred head Of cattle by Indians but
this COW was never captured. From Fort
Stanton she was driven in 1861, via the Rio
Grande and the Southern route through Ar
iona, TO Los Angeles county California. She
was kept there four ears, and in the great
drought Of 1868 was one Of four cattle which
survived out Of AZ head owned by Mr.. Bang
hart. She went blind but fully recovered
her sight. In 1866 she was driven here over
the Mohave road and has since been at Pos
ties ranch. During the whole of her event
full life and travels, she has given from 10 to
90 quarts Of mix a day, and annually produced
fine calf
! The loss Of so faithful and valuable an AM
NAL and one so identified with the movements
of his family, is keenly regretted by Mr..
Banghart, and be assured those who went in
pursuit, that. If she could be recovered. he
would willingly lose the remainder of his
stock

lHE MONEY IN THE MISEs.:The Amador

!" How few of us have any adequate notion
OF the rapldity with which money is taken
from a good mine! We have had the curios-

king the Gould and Curry mine for a basis.
The figures are from the annual report Of
Prot. Stretch, State Geologist for Nevada,
In SIX years the mine yielded in round num-
oers 2SoOoO tons of ore, averaging $50 per
ton, or total Of Sl3,627 600. This is about
S2,21O day, $3.50 per hour, $3.50 per min
ute, counting every day in the year and "A
hours TO the day In silver il would weigh
nearly o6o tons, and would require 1870
men to pack ii, each carrying $50 pounds.
IL would take train Of two-horse teams. in
close order, over ten miles long, to haul il.
In short, the mine has yielded more money
IN SIX years than We have accumulated in
forty, and yet it was all taken from piece
OF ground 200 feet in length by 80 in

TERRITORIAL PRIsoN. BY an act of Con-

proceeds OF the Internal Revenue Of the Ter.
ritories OF Washington, Colorado, Idaho, Mon
tana, Arizona and Dakota, for the fiscal year
ending June 30th, 1866, and the two success.
i've years, were appropriated for the purpose
of erecting penitentiary buildings in said
Territories.
The Legislatures are to designate the
places, and the sum to be spent in Arizona
is limited to $4,000. As no Internal Reye
nue. was collected here until month or two
since, and the net proceeds of the remaining
year Of the time are not likely to reach
$4,000, the limitation was quite unnecessary
