ANOTHER INDIAN ATTACK.

< party of four citizens, consisting Of l.. St. James, A. wertheimer, F. 4. Bentley, Of Prescott, and Mr Henry Colquette from Ten nessee, Jeff Skull Valley few days since, 10 pass ovrr tine lower trail through Weayer's Gap, which they reached about noon. At a point near the summit of the mountain they were attacked by some twenty or thirty In dians. supposed to be Wallapais, and all ex- eept Wertheimer were wounded by arrows. although several shots were fired from guns by the murderous wretehes Two horses were crippled and captured from our party. but all escaped by hssty retreat down the mountain. St. James was slightly wounded just aboTc the knee-Mr. Coquettc had his skull fractured and received a severe wound near the pit of his stomach. Bentley was slightly wounded, though several times hit .sllyctuIned to Skull Valley, though the last few miles required an ambulance, promptly furnished by Captain Weir, to enable Alr. Col e;aet;a to reach tIe hospital, where he was attended by Dr. Merriam, post surgeon, who removed several fragments of bone. Ifc is reported likely to recover,
 As soon as Captain Weir, in command at Skull Valley, beard of the affair, he made preparations for a pursuit, and started the same evening with ten men of his company md Dr. Merriam, iu hopes of overriding and puDishing the savage. On reaching Weayer's Gap the next morning. they iound tine ground covered with Indian tracks and fragments of arrows. Two brestworks of rocks had been thrown up commanding the entrance 10 the Gap, from which they dealt their murderou' fire. The Captain struck their trail which led over the mountain te the west and to ---r-=.-- ss---oalo Springs on the main road As the trail could not ise followed with aahyi als, the mountain being prscipitous md rocky the Captain kept on to Pr,.4-stt, with the in tention of returning kthe main road and again striking their Nail, if possible.
 The wounded returned party desire to pre- sent their kin1eat thanks to MF Elle and family, of Skull Valley, for their generou, hospitality.

MILITARY MOVEMENTS.

CoLoSrL T. l.. CRiTrENDEN, who will take command at Tucson, is son of the distin- guished John J. Crittendcn, of Kentucky, and served during the war with the yolun- tecr army of the West, in which he became a major general IIe is now Colonel Of the 32d regular infantry. He will be accompanied to the Territory by bis wife and son, and by two companies of the 32d, which will make the full number (l0) of which that regiment is to consist.
 Colonel GHEGG, of the Sth regular cavalry (raised upon thi. coast) was a distinguished cavalry officer Of volunteers in the army of the Potomac, rising to the rank of Brigadier and, we believe, that of Major General He is young bachelor, over six feet high, a cou- sin of Governor Curtin Of Pennsylvania, and man of great energy. He begged General Halleck not to keep him in San Francisco but to assign him Co active duty in one of the Territories. He will come here with two cc;ppaFiss of his regiment, campp-ed chiefly of men wLo have served as California volun- teers. His head quarters will nominally be at Prescott, but we presume they will in re- ality be in the saddle; and both from him and Colonel Crttenden we expect valuable service in the subjugation Of the Indians, and the protection of our people.
 Colonel Critterden and lis Iaen were to leave san Francisco .iannary l5- Col. Gregg and bis two companies of cavalry, also two of infantry, all destined for this part of Arizona were to leave on the 2Jth, and they should be here early in March. Tho want of officer. prevented sending the companies forward more promptly.

STEAM TO CHINA AND JAPAN.

The great steamer Coimado of the.Pacific mail steamship company, the first of the new line from San Francisco to China and Japan. sailed from that city on new years day amid the acclamations and with the good wishes of the whole population. The route is ore of the most important of the sge, and it was proper ly celebrated by grand banquet given at the Occidental Hotel on the evening of Dec. 3l. at which Governor Low presided and some three hundred guests were present-iHclad- ing nearly all the prominent men of the coast. and a number of Chinese merchants-The Ai'q of Jan. lst thus describes the decorations of the room:
 The walls were covered last evening wifi, banners of all nations, the Stars and Stripes occupying more space than any other and well deserving by the brilliancy and arrauge ment of it's eOl0fs, the name of ''the fi,5wery
 hag" given to it by the Celestials. The ihi nese and Japanese banners occupied the nlaoe of honor alongside of our national color. at

The tables were arranged in three rows.

PAH.UTE COUNTY.

IL will be remembered how Colonel Poston and his partizans, in the late contest for Del egate, abused our Governor for recognizing Pah-Ute county as still within Arizona how they declared that county already fully given over to Nevada, and quite beyond our control In Lis message to the Legislature Governor Mccormick used the following language:
 While the boundaries of Nevada are fixed by the constitution of that State. and aa aaaidaalt he1esO fqiLey han simple e,.oct- Blept of the LegiR0tnr, would seem geedsd 10 ciaagt hsa and the act of Congress appears 10 demand suhsequent specific, rather than previous indefinite action on the Eart Of the State, in accepting the tract mentioned, it is sufficient for me to, say, that at the date of my proclamation, Sdering the general cleo tIon 70 be held, l hAI no official information from any source regasding the setting off of this part Of the Terrtry by Congiess. or of its acceptance by- -Aeiisda, aa.dd sh.gt te nj, day ls7eIone.n
 T By the proceedings of the Nevada Legisla- ture now in session. it will be observed that an act to accept the addition to that State has been proposed, showing that the view Of cur Governor, that action sa5ssYafat to As ae. ! ef Cs4gffes was necessary, is entertained in Nevada. Gov. Blaisde goes further and fully accepts Governor MeCormick's view, that an amendment to the constitution by which the boundaries of the State are fixed, is necessary before the territory ceded by Congress can belong to Nevada. In his message, delivered on the 9th of January, after referring to the territory in question, and it's importance, he says:
 : Looking alone to the act of Congress. it would seem that all the action necessary on thc par; Of the State for full and final ac- [ ceptance of the last named cession would be that Of the Legislature in the form of an act | or joint resolution. But the establishment of boundary lines by the Constitution would seem to leave the Legislature without present authority to blna tue State in the premises i In order that no misapprehensiOn may arise | from failure to comply with the act, l sug- gest the pfOpnety of immediate Legislative acceptance as therein contemplated. And in order to legally and fully extend the iurisdie- | tiOn of the State over the ceded territory. | suggest the propriety of proposing and sub hitting tO the people for their ratification an amendment to the Constitution, conforming our southern boundary tO the lines designated in the grant"
 As an amendment to the constitution of Nevada has to be proposed by one Legislature, approved by the next, and then submitted to vote of the people, and the next Legislature in that State does not meet until January. 1869, it will be more than two years before even according to Gov. Blaisdel's admission. the parts of ou1 Territory which Congress proposes to give to Nevada can be legally and fully under the jurisdiction of that State. Meanwhile it is possible that Congress will listen to the prayer Of our people, and recon sider is decision to deprive us of what Is na- turally ours, and has 10 natural relation to Nevada -

THE SAN FRANCISCO PRESS ON ARl-
 ZONA.

The press of San Franci.co takes lively interest in Arizona, as it should. Herewith we copy various articles referring to the mis- sion of the Governor, to the needs of the Ter ritory, it's prospects, and the ,ubjugation of the Apache. It will be observed that there Is a general expression of confidence in the resources of the Territory:
 PRorEcrioy or AEIzosA.-Goy MoCor- mick has been successful in bis application on behalf of the people oi Arizona for additional troops to protect the mail routes and settle ment. in that Territory against the murder ous Apachcs. He found the military author ties here willing to do all in their power, and they have issued orders for six companies oi regular troops to be forwarded as soon as pos sible. Two companies of the eth cavalry and four companies of the 4th and 32d infantry, are designated for this purpose. The I com panies ordered Co Arizona will make the in- fontry regiments there complete. Two com panies of infantry leave on Tuesday, with Col. T. l..

Ample arrangements for forward ing supplies for at least six months have been made l.essefal- EI.lloaL aud Af. u.,..it he4L indicate desire for active nov ments on the part Of the officers in command. and are anx- iOus that as soon as possible the security for life and property in a long suffering territory shall be made complete. The distinguished officers who go down with endorsements are accustomed to active movements. and to ac- complish substantial results. Citizen, of Ar izona who are in San Francisco, and many others who have friends and property inter. e-is there, feel encouraged H.s to hope fer 2 better order of things. and Co expect in few months q revival of labor and enterurise in the development of great resources.-B BpleitL

ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC RAILROAD.

Elsewhere in the MiNGa of to-day, we publish the Speech of General Fremont. made at the meeting Of tine Commissioners of tine road held at St. Louis in October last IL will be read with much interest inasmuch as this road is to pass through Central Arizo- na. probably very near to Prescott Ere mont truly says that it's really central posi- tiUn makes the line national. It is neither too far north nor too far south, but over what we honestly believe to be the most conyen- tent and practicable route. The Atlantic and Pacific Company arc to have control from St. Louis 10 the Colorado River, and from there the connection to San Francisco will be made by the Southern Pacific Company. of which the Hon. T. c. Phelps, late member of Congress from California, is President We hear that this company has already filed a map of its selected route at Washington. It. will run from San Jose to Gilroy, and thence by the lear Greek country to, OF near to Hardyyille, and surveying will be commenced this winter. Much interest is shown in this road, both in San Francisco and the east and there are many who think it will De built al most as soon as the upper route, and that it will be the favogite of all the tontinental Railways.

They may therefore enable me to give some nsefil point to the labor Of many years. undertaken with the same object, and I thank you sin- eerely for giving me the opportunity to do so.
 It becomes now our first duty to ask from the country at large a subscription 10 our capital stock, and will be therefore necessary to make the proposed Atlantic and Pacific Hallway we'll known to the public This be- lng to-day, our initial point, it will. think De suitable to present concisely the character Of our enterprise, and to set out the elements Of success upon which we rely.
 By recent Act Of Congress. the line of the road Is laid in southwestern Missouri and the valley of tho Canadian, and genenIIy along the thirty fifth parallel to tl.e head ef navigation on the head of the Colorado. and thence Co the Pacific coast. To aid in it's con stfuctioI, the act grants over 25,0O0 acres of isnd 10 the mile, making for the entire route aOout iofty-siN millions of acres. Its really central position makes the line national. We believe that it will prove to be the shortest ana II certainly presents fewer natural obIects and IS the most practicable of all the proTo,sed routes to tbe Pacific. From spripg6eId ,o San Francisco its estimated length is sCo miles, making for the distance from st Tonis about 2,OOC, and from New York. by way of Memphis, to San Francisco. the di.tanrs ;s o,'OO mIies, making difference of 500 miles m favor Of this route.
 It ls singularly direct and easy of con.tr,c- tion, lying for the most part in the yallev. of streams. It Is not Obstructed by mountain chains, other than the low ranges bordering the valley Of the Rio del Norte. Some 400 iiiles west Of St. Louis it crosses the ArLan- ''s H'er where it is still nayigable. piying asaih an opening to the Mississippi river. If passes through the heart of New Mexico at AiDnquerque, securing tO itself valuable way lfaihci and it affords the site of an important iity at he head of navigation on the Colo.
