And wife arrived at Wilmington on the 2Sth of January, in the Ocisaba The Aia C1ljfr- nio, of the 2Gth, the day the Governor left San Francisco, contained the following cores pondence, which explaius itself, and which is certainly highly complimentary to the Gov ernor, and shows his activity is appreciated by the first men of San Francisco:
 SAN FRANcisco, Jan. 22d, 1sG7
 GOVERNOR: The undersigned, holding bu- siness relations with the Territory of Arizona, and having lively interest in the develop ment of its great resources, desire upon the eve of your departure from this city, formally to express their appreciation of the marked ability, fidelity and energy with which you have conducted the public affairs of that Ter ritory, and promoted every measure calcutta ted to advance its substantial property. Wbile others have, at times, been discourage ! by the obstacles which have combined to re- tard its settlement and success, you have ever been hopeful and confident until now. largely through your individual exertions, these ob- stacles are rapidly disappearing, the import ance of the Territory is acknowledged, and its condition and prospects are conceded by all to be more promising than ever before.
 We therefore ask that you will, if consist ent with your engagements, accept compli mentary dinner, to be given at the Occidental Hotel, on such evening, ring the present week, as may best suit your convenience.
 We are, with much respect, your obedient

 EpIroR MfNFR.-The arrival of Gov. McCor- mick. and the new officers to command in Ar izona. Generals Crttcndcn and Gregg, created much interest at Wilmington. These gentle men were the guests of General Banning, and while at his house were given fine rega'c, OF party. at which Los Angeles was well repre- santed Cpon their arrival here, immediate steps were taken by our citizens to do them honor. \ committee soon procured the ne cessary means to provide an elegant enter tainment, and the Bella Union Hotel was chosen as the place of holding it. The time fixed was last evening, and the ball was one of the best, perhaps the best. ever given in Los Angeles. In many respects it surpassed tha, given to Gov. Low upon his recent visit. some sixty ladies' embracing the fashion and beauty of Los Angeles county, were in atten dance, and all the prominent citizens of the county were present Among theseys
 mention Ex-Governor DowneE- Ssge De "a Guerre, Gen. Banning, Judge Ma lard, Hon. Mir. Peterson, D. B. Wilson, Judge Dryden btI. NulNtNr tois NAitNir aiti 4his EdhNNNiaiii The music was of superior quality, and the dancing was kept up until 3 a. m, only inter rupted by the serving of fine supper, and a speech of welcome to the Governor and to Generals Crittenden and Gregg (who were dressed in full uniform) delivered by Hon Mir. Peterson, which was responded to for all by the Governor, who spoke earnestly and hopefully of Arizona, and of the relations of southern California and Arizona-which was received with much applause, by his many friends here.
 The Governor and wife left for San Bernar dino and Yuma this morning. Gen. rritten den started for Tucson ria Yuma, with two companies of Infantry. General Gregg will leave for Prescott with two companies of In fantry and two of cavalry, in about two weeks. Los ANGELES.

ELECTION BRIBERY IN ENGLAND

We have been in ubt%hether the publi cation of the accounts of the corruption and bribery at elections in England would be of service to our Arizona Americans or not. Be that as it may, we must occasionally give them slight view of matter, political in the land of Jonny Bull, and therefore copy few lines from one of our Lund n exchanges, as follows; " The locality Is the borough ofI.an. caster. Of 9S0 freemen having right to vote by birth, G25 are proved to have hcen bribed; and of 439 householders having the franchise on account of occupying house. rented at ten pounds sterling year, 91 wcre hribed--makng little more than half of the who'e number of elt,tors who were actually proved Co have taken money for their sot,,. '' Th', k trnly . very ssSliHe and interesting account of English political institutions. and " monarchical grandeur" of which we often hear the sons of the old country boast.

INpt,S Goops.-The Commissioner of In dian Affairs has decided to purchase goods and articles required for the Indians on the Pacific Slope at San Francisco This Is sensible conclusion which should have been reached long since. We learn that Superin- tendent Dent, of this Territory, is purchasing agent for this coast We hope he will pro- cure articles of a practical and useful charac- ter rather than toys or jewels. Let him give the Pimos and Maricopas agricultural imple- u.ents, for which they have so long asked ! and let them be supplied with good stock, wagons, &c. With such facilities they may become a for more valuable population than they now are.
