A eEsrLEsAs of this place ''learns, from q private letter, that our late delegate in Con. gress, Coles Bashford, has been successful in bis efforts in procuring the favorable opinion of the first Comptroller Of the Treasury, by which the General Government will transfer to the Territorial Treasury from ss,Oo0 to tio,ooo at an early day, for so much money paid out by the Territory for various purpos- es." Hope the favorable opinion" will caus. the result So devoutIy wished for. The great CT part Of this money was paid to Governor Mccormick, for printing laws, etc, and it is not quite clear to our mind tut that he also received pay from the General Government for the same work.

MIsrsc.-work is progressing at the ster- ling, but VIC have had no report a. to how the ledge looks. George Curtis informed us, the other day, that the Chase mine, in the tunnel, was looking we'll. Ore taken from it to San Francisco, by Mr. Moves, yielded, by working test, over $500 to the ton. Sat urday last. Mir. Gray received letter from Theodore W. Boggs, who. with q gang of men, is engaged in opening the Independence mine, in Big Bug district, which stated tha, the lode opened finely, and was fully II feet thick, with rich pay streak, half the width of the ledge . Since our last issue, c. c. Bean, of this place, has purchased the inte- rest of A. French in several lodes in Walkers' and Hassayampa District, for the sum of S4,0co and has sent a gang of men 10 Walkers, 10 work the Tic-Tie, which i, said to be very rich gold lode. We have no placer mining news this week, the miners being too busy at work to come to town. A letter, of recent date, from San Francisco. states that the Sterling company had secured the services of a No. mining Superinten- dent, and that he, with corps of assistants, and one or two members of the company, would leave, in few days, for this country. ....The news from wickenburg, where the ore from the great Yultrre mine is worked, is ss of yore-both mills running night and day and paying well At Gila City, Eureka, and other places in Yuma county, parties are working quartz. with what result, we do not know. Our Nohave county correspon- dents have either got married, or are in love. for they have failed to post us for several weeks. We are also ignorant of what is being done in Pima county, not having received letter or paper from Tucson for a month past. We sometimes think the people of that county lave gone back home to so- nora.
 P. S.-Sinee putting the above in type, we have received the Arisonian of February 2s, flom which we learn that Acting Governor, J. P. T. Garter, has commuted the death sen tenee recently passed upon the woman, Do lores Moore, for the murder of her husband. Mahlon F. Moore. to imprisonment for life This action of the Acting Governor does not seem 10 give satisfaction to the conductors of the -frizontaa. John NJ. Cass, formerly Cap tain in the 4th Cal. Vols. died at Apache Pass, February IS.

PRosPEcrs, Erc.-The present delightful weather inspires everybody with new hope, activity and energy. Miners and prospectors are confident that speedy succor is at hand for them, and that their interests will soon loom into importance and be prosperous, and from what we know of the chances ahead, we think they wiil. Notwithstanding the bad luck some of our farmers have had in not being able to dispose of their last years crops ., fair prices, they are gradually getting over the blues and turning over the soil, pre- psratory to planting new crop. Never be- fore VI" there so much energy displayed by tillen of the soil, in this Territory. During the past week, we have conversed with farm CTS from many localities, and all appeared to be in good spirits. This is right. All our farmers have to do is to work faithfully, inteligently. live within their means, and hire no more help than is necessary, keep aloof, in the future, from all schemes of spec 'Ilator to entrsp and corner them, and sue cess is within tLeir reach It is now obvious that more troops will be sent to the Territory, and 1t is high time they were; it is also plain that the Sterling and other mining companies will work their rich mines on an extensive scale, this spring and summer; besides, we are in hopes that work upon the 35th parallel railroad will be commenced before the close of another year; therefore we think 1t safe to advise all who can to engage in farming We regret, exceedingly, that more wheat ha. not been planted, but that is not the fault oI our farmers-the seed was not to be had in the country.

and ranches Of John c. Campbell, Robert Postle and others. From Mir. Pos,le's house, which is \ large and substantial s3ote, buils on the site cf old Fort whippIe, we got \ god view of the great and fertile Chino val ley, which runs from tho Colorado to the Verde, and is nearly two hundred miles in tcngth by about ten in width. A sight at it set us to dreaming of the future of that part of our noble Territory, and the vision of the 35th Parallel Railroad-the route of which runs through part of it, rose before us. We imagined we could see hundreds of smokes ascending from farm houses in the valley, from the cabins of herders of stock, and from sawmils in the hills, but woke up from our dream only to see an enormous ln- dian smoke rise from the top of peak, and numerous small smokes in answer to it. Know ing that party of our fellow citizens-mad- dened by the recent cruel sets of the Apaches were over thc-c hunting the savsges, we prayed earnestly that it might be the smoke from some captured rancheris, and the fune- raj pyre of hosts of dead savsges. Alter satisfying oarseif that Chino valley and the country around has resources that will yet make it "land flowing with milk and hon ey" we took look at Mir Postle's premises, and were well pleased with the improve ments he has made and is yet making We then entered his house, and were shown . specimen of Arizona produetion--(a credit to its parents and the Territory of which it is a native), q bouncing boy of about six months. There are but two ladies in the valley, Mrs. Postle and her mother, Mrs. Shivers, not enough to start Soross or indulge in the GreciAn bend, yet they appeared perfectly happy and content to wait until inc ruiiruad brings them more company, which it will The road from Albuquerque, New Mexico, passes the doors of these people, but just now there is not much travel upon it. The Verde river Is but short distance from the ranches, and we were .old that 1t is filled with fsh, and would have gone fishing had i, not been for fear of losing our thar" by the knife Of rcd skin. Mr. Postle has q serviceable little mill for grinding corn, etc, on his ranch, and has this year planted rows of eottonwoods on each side of long avenue in front of bis house. Campbeirs, Banghart'. snd shiven' ranehes are as good as any we have seen in the country, ard will soon be- come valuable. But, it is Of no use to dilate upon any P1rtiosl=r srcs ;a country where every foot of soil-valley, prairie and mesa is capable of producing corn, wheat, barley, oats, and the various vegetables, so we will close this lengthy article by hoping that Con- gress will do its duty to the whole country by aiding the company that is anxious to build railroad through the rich and beauti- fal country described by us, and open it up to settlement.

Military and Indian Affairs.

Company L., sth U. S. Cavalry, left Fort whipple on the morning of the 10th inst, under command of Captain Hobart, to scout the country around wiekenburg. The Com pany will be absent during the balance Of this month. There are now only li mounted men at the fort, for duty in this vicinity, but t is to be hoped that the Company of Cav airy sa route here may soon arrive, so as to enable the Sub District commander, Major Clendenin, to carry out his plans for spring operations.
 It Is rumored that Col Price, commanding the Sub District of the Upper Colorado, is using every effort to get the two companies of cavalry in this Sub District transferred to his command Now, we do not pretend to understand military operations, in detail, but fl the above rumor is true, the citizens living in the vicinity of Prescott, Wiekenburg, Walnut Grove, and other places, might just as we'll abandon all ideas of mining farming, etc, and turn their attention to fighting h. disRs. The proposition is the coolest, and we think, the most foolish, we have ever heard of We are surprised that it should emanate from so good an officer as Col. Price. What withdraw all the mounted troops from the only section of country where there is anybody or anything to protect, and where Indians are as thick as bees, and desperately hostile, and take them 10 a country where there are but few Hualapais, who, we have been assured, time and again, were peaceable, kindly disposed eusses. Pshaw. The idea is ridiculous. Instead of weakening the small force at the disposal of Major Clendenin, the commander Ss ;his sat-si,strici, we think u would be the part of wisdom and sound pol. icy to strengthen the force under bis com mand, and thereby enable him io wage viz. orous warfare upon the savages that live here and fatten upon spells taken from our eiti- rens. The good and efficient service perform ed by the troops under his command during the past six months, proves him to be an off eer every way qualified to conduct hostilitie, against the savagrs, and VIC hope he will receive a full share of the new troops prom. sed the Territory by General Ord.

lsvxsrSrsr.-one of our citizens counted out nineteen hundred dollars in hard coin on Thursday last, for an interest in a placer mine In Arizona. Therc is no wildcat" in this business, as the claim is personally known to be very rich.
 We find the above in the sonoma county (caiiiornia) DsmOcrat, of February 23d, and assure the editor that he Is right in ha con jectures about the richness of the claim in question, which is on lower Lynx creek, eight miles east from Prescott.
