 II the Arizona nc wspapers should ever oe issucd one slngle week without containing an account Of some wanton outrage perpctrated by Indians, either in the nature Of bloody hssassinatou or theft Of property, we should think there was something certainly wrong-somc great mistake made Not week passes-scarcely day-D that Territory in which an Indian outrage Is not committed. Some weeks ago the Prescott driEo- nan fMIsRRl published list of murders md other crimes committed by the Indians In a lew of the counties of the Territory only-those which had been brought directly to the notice of the public, and the names are given of one Hundred aud sirty Utee citizens and soldiers who have
 been murdcred--noi Killed in battle, but whylaid and assassinated tc-scE ;ae i1s; tN" t'essS ts
 Is estimated that at least two hundred others have during the sarue time been Killed, the names and
 particulars of which have not been learned or
 preserved. The theft aud destruction or property
 la that time by pluuder and lncendiaries fs too
 great for accurate estimate, while the consequent
 damage to the Territory in the rethrding Of bnsi- ness has been equal to the annual productive value of the country. About the same time Capt. Rynerson. member of the Legislature of New Mexico made speech In that body h which he
 gave list of the Indian outrages tn New Mexico during the past year, which shows that over thirty citizens have been murdered and many
 thousands of dollars worth oi property stolen and destroyed
 Were all these items of barbarous Indian out. nges separately telegraphed over the country as

Bad News, if True.

The President has peremptorlly ordered mIll. tary commanders to prevent militia and yOlunta- " organizations from hunting Indians.
 All the papers have the above news from Washington, and it must be that Ulysses has said it. Hts reasons for issuing such an ab- surd order are, of course, unknown to us. Perhaps he is going to take the field against the savages and make short work of them, but it is more likely that he has been con verted to the Quaker doctrine. Should his order be strictly enforced, we may bid good bye to all our hopes for organizing militia companies. Brethren, let us again pray God to give our President little common sense.

THE correspondent of tho Los Angeles Re- publican, writing from Camp Goodwin, in this Territory. under date of April 29th, says that Eskelthesela, head chief of the Coyterro Apaehes, was dangerously wounded by some of bis drunken braves, afew days previous to the date of the letter. According to the story told by this correspondent, the saysges, at the post recently established near the White Mountains, got drunk upon whisky made from corn furnished them by Govern ment, engaged in a general fight, which the chief was endeavoring to stop, when he re- eeived wounds which 1t was thought would prove fatal. Eskelthesela comes mighty near being good Apache, and as we are under obligations to him for saving us from being butcbered by his bloodthisty warriors, we earnestly hope that be will recover.

rEsRlroRIAL PksoS.-The Territory of Arizona is greatly in need of some sort of a prison, in which to oonfne criminals, and, as certain portion of the Internal Revenue collected in the Territory is to be used in the erection of prison buildings, we have q slight desire to know how much, if any, cash is now on hand for that purpose. We have yet to learn that our so-called efficient Delegate in Congress has pressed this prison matter, and have commenced to think that he has quito forgotten it.

SOME writer on Arizona lately mentioned that country as "the land of the priekiy pear and scorpion" The Aba, commenting on the fact that the Territory was suffering from the ravages of the Apaehes. and that small pox was prevalent In some portions, and chat the trst earthquake ever known there had lately shaken the Territory, unfortunately quoted the phrase above alluded to, much to the pam of an Arizonian, who writes to us on the subject. Our correspondent, more in sorrow than in anger, says that 1t is too true that Apachcs roam the country at will, and that there both scorpions and prickly pears are to oe found but that 1t is with poor grace that California can say anything about small
 pox or earthquakes. And all this is cheer fuliy granted; but where should wa be if we could not have little good-natured railiery a. the expense of our neighhors7 Because they are truthfully virtuous, shall there be no more cakes and alel Nobody in CaIifor- ma thinks of writing dowa Arizona; every body knows that it is Territory of vast natural resources, and needs only such pro- lection from the Indian hordes as the 1tta nss always advocated, to make it rich and hourishing State.

600 bales cotton engaged at Memphis.
Capt. Edison and his clerk, Mr.. joe
Elliott, are very pleasant gentlemen,
and are just the men to build up a
good trade between this city
and Memphis. We hope our mer-
chants and business men will extend
to them a liberal patronage, so that
they may be encouraged to stay in
the trade. There is no good reason
Why Evansville should not get the
vast trade Of the bends between Cairo
and Memphis A judicious and earn
est effort on their part would secure
it--worth hundreds of thousands an
nually......."The Rose Hite, detained
by the snow storm of Tuesday night,
was late getting ia last night, not ar
irving until after 8 o'clock. She had
good trips both ways. She made
short stay here.......By di spatch

Dean discharged 20 bales of cotton aud
lot of miscellaneous freight here.
Among the passengers by the Rose
Hite, last night, was Captain Geo. A.
