 Every one in the western country has heard enough vi tine ineificirncy of the military opera tions against the Indians. but the above men toned journal lthe MiSERl considers that the troops m Atizona are actually Of some use. and that except for their presence all settlers would be driven ont Of the Territory. Afier giving an account of Indian depredations, sufficient 10 ter riiy any person who even contemplates going to Arizona, few heavy guns are brought 10 bear against the expected appointment of Qnakers as indian Agents if fQuakers invariably adhere to their non-dghiing qualities. no one who is famil- lar with Indian characteristics can desire to see them installed as Indian Agents.
 We ail know that no nation upon the face of the globe ever had greater cause for var than has the Indian Co fight ms to the fast But 1t is q canse such as the grizzly has against the pioneer who invades bis native wiids; both are to be dealt with in q like manner Indians are like wolves pest Q the country.

 Nothing can be more absurd than all efforts toward paeifying the Indians, or dealing with them taIneiy. IL is merely furnishing them with arms and ammunition to kill more whites, and still more seriously rctard emigration, travel and development Of the vast resources afforded by the Territories.
 IL may do to talk of the Indian as a much abused fellow creature, in New England where some great moral idea is always before the pub. lie: Dui in the hurrying. practical West. where sad experience bas oftimes been the teacher people have learned to properly estimate Indian character. "Tbe noble red man. and the -dusky ' maid of the forest' may sound well In Cooper novels, and al a proper distance. But those who come in contact with Poor Lo, unless 1t |. some one who thinks to obtain fat slice from Uncle Sam. by doing otherwise, render those high flown phrases with broad margin for i'm. agination.

Arizona.


 A correspondent Of the San Francisco Tunes. writing from Fort Mohave, under date Of April 4th, says:
 Notwithstanding tbe general disfavor in which Arizona s held by Californiabs. it is unquestion- able that that Territory supplies one of the great wants of our Pacific coast, L C.. soil and climate suitable to the production Of sugar and cotton. The bottom lands of the Colorado. Gila and Sa- linas rivers, are adapted to the growth Of sugar cane. l have seen fine cane raised (experi- mentsllyl upon the Colorado, as ever grew in Louisiana. The tariff upon the worst quality Of sugar Is now, and bids fair to be for a long time to come, three cents per pound, percentage that would have been considered in the South, before the war, as a largely paying profit. heard in La Paz that some of your San Francisco sugar reAners had decided to try the experiment of growing cane upon the Colorado. with Chinese labor. Beyond doubt the speculation wonld prove profitable one. Tariff aside. sugar ia one of the most profitable of crops, and. with be present high rate of duties. no crop raised on this coast will pay SO large a dividend on the outlay. The duty will more than cover the cost of pro duction, leaving the producer as profit, the price over duties.

Now, times are not extraordinary good ih this vicinity, yet William assured us that, to him, everythisg looked lovely. when eontrasted with what he saw at Tucson. where everything wore the aspect of gloom and despondency. and every man looked to him as though be had just rctnrn- ed from White Pine, without realizing. The dullness, he informed us. was caused partly by the removal of District military headquarters. and the lowsess of prices st which Govern meni conirsct. were let While smsr:ing under the wrongs inflicted upon us and the remainder Of the people Of she Territory, by Pima county men. we yet have enough charity left to wish the miserable people of that county better lack They are forgiven fot buying and stealing the capital sway from nc, bot it zili he long time before the white neaDle of the Ts--aio-y can forget that it was Pima county, aided by Sonora that saddled upon the Territory, as Delegate to Congress, that vile. seheming, hollow hearted carpetbagger, Mccormick

"wHrrE PfSE.n-The publishers of the San Francisco Alta CIlifornid have just issued aneAt- ly printed pamphlet entitled White Pine. which tells all aboat the location. geography, geology, etc, Of that famous place. The work is made up of letters 10 the Ala, written by Albert s. Evans. one of the editors of that paper. We are indcbt- ed to the publishers for copy. from which we extrae. the following in relation to the extent of the new silver fields:
 "From Northern Idaho to the Mexican line. and how much beyond no one knows, is a belt of country of which White Pine appears to be the centre through which deposits of silver are known to be scattered. and all Of which is wor- thy of careful examination. IL is said that the formation Of the fan ons BatSpilas Mining District of Chihuahua. is almost Identical with that Of White Pine. and the writer has beautiful specimens Of silver ore taken from the noun tains of a somcwLat similar formation in the heart Of the Apaeae country, south of Prescott, Arizona Wh1. a hed is here opened for the investigation 6f the adventurous American peo- pie The gold deposits Of California added so many millions to the wealth ot the world as to unhx valuls and affect the whole commerce of Christend lm. What California did with her gold, this new Silver Land Is apparently about to do with hey silver. and no one can predict the ex- tent of the effects which wili be produced on our county by the recent discoveries and those 10 whicl they will most certainly lead during the | corAng summer ana autumn"
