Coop NEws, IF RUE.-Tuesday evening last, the usually placid countenanoes of many of our citizens were lighted up with joy by the state ment contained in a letter to John C. Campbell, from hts partner, w. NJ. Buffum, of Los Angeles, that ex.Goveruor Downey had received private telegraphic dispatch advising him that Congress had passed bill granting aid to build railroad the 18th parallel route Mr Bunum's letter was dated March 3lst, and the statement con tained therein may be correct but our faith in the correctness of the dispatch was somewhat shaken when we prospected all the telegraphic dispatches from March 25lh to April Sd, and could not find any allusion to the matter Yet, l, may be SO, and we earnestly hope itisso. Had
 it been substantiated by telegraph there is no telling what time our citizens would have retired to rest on that night Certain it is that there would have been celebration of some sort, and yell of triumph at the near approach of the doom of the Apache. God grant that it may be so

 ARIZONA CTrY.-our correspondent at this place grumbles considerably at the Steamboat Company and teamsters of San Bernardino, for charging too much for transporting freight. He says Bumenthal & Landsberger ship their goods Uia San Diego. and the result is that they get them much cheaper than if they shipped viG "lhe horn," or San Bernardino. The following pri- ees rule at Arizona City Flour per cwt SC; cof- fee. per h., 25 cts; bacon, 20 cts sugar l5 cts. beef, per lb. 10 cts, and everything else in pro portion. These are cheap prices, and with them Arizona City ought to prosper. A man named Henry Hall. has started a soda factory, at lit- tic town called Los Angeles, ton the California side of the river) eighteen miles above Fort Yu- ma and Arizona City, and a company consisting of Hall Hanlon, Mir. Wakefield and others are engaged in working deep placer diggings there. These diggings were discovered more than year ago, but the water drove the miners out of them. Since then machinery has been erected, and the dlgglngs are paying we'll. .... G. Blumenthal, of Blumenthal & Landsbergcr was taken sick while on his way from San Diego to Arizona City, recently, fell from his horse and lay insen- sible during one night Some Indians found him, informed MT. Cameron, of Milquita, who went ont and carried him to his house.

MILITARY REroRT. Attention is called to Gen. Devins plain, straightforward account of mili- tary operations in this Territory during the past year. The number of miles marched by the troops of the various subdstriets will give gov ernment and people an idea of how dificnlt it is to find Apaches. when hunting for them. We are proud to state tha; the troops of this subdistrct are credited with marching the greatest number of miles and with killing the most Indians. The General promises, if possible for him to do SO, to comply with the request of the people of Wickenburg, by placing company of cavalry somewhere in the vicinity of that important town. His assertion that he has never sub scribcd to the doctrine that it is advisable to temporize with Indians where there is force sufficient to fight them,' will meet the approval of every right minded civilized being.

HAD the people of Arizona access to the ear of the Postmaster General, they would very likely tender him little advice regarding the letting of mail contracts in this Territory. They would inform him how big contractors in the East lie back in their easy chairs, while sub-contractors in this Territory are doing their work for them, In way tha. brings discredt upon the Depart ment and disgusts citizens generally. But what Is the use of talking about these matters, while knavery and corruption is so openly practieed by our public servants Eastern lobbyists VII still continue to receive contracts for carrying mails in countries they have never seen and nev- CT expect to sec, well knowing they can sub-lct ihem to poorer men at starvation figures

When travelling take about five pounds of this mixture in a sack, with two lbs of crack CTS. If on horseback, wrap mp in a blanket and then take ten pounds in the wagon, wherever you go. 1T camped out al ranches or mines, keep ten pounds of these pills on hand in your cabin.
