Good for Arizona.

Governor Stafford, of Arizona, who has arrived in this city from New York, on his way back to the Terri tory, takes with him two assurances that will be gladly received there. One relates to the appointment of Gen. eral Crook, to command in the Depart ment of Arizona, which is an earnest of vigorous operations against the Apaches and the other to the prelim- mary plans for the construction of the Southern Pacific Railroad. It seems that Marshal o. Roberts, the energetic and earnest New York capi- talist, who has been chosen President of the Texas Pacific Railroad, has secured the franchises of connecting roads and the ownership of majority of stock i'll the main line. He would not undertake the management of the enterprise unless he was allowed to control 1t, and to call about him as Directors men of wealth, willing and able to support him in a vigorous pros ecution of the work. He announces that no bonds will be offered until two hundred miles of the road are built, and these will probably be some time next year. The Act of Congress TO- quires work to begin and advance from each terminus simultaneously. Thus one hundred miles eastward from San Diego will probably be done by some day in 1872, and the work will begin as soon as the surveys have been completed. This will put Arizona along the line of improvement, and give the Territory the advantages ex- pected from the railroad ata compara- lively early day.--[S F. Bulletin May II.

INDIAN AFFAIRS in New Mexico.- The Santa Fe New Mexican of the 16th says that Gov. Army had left on the 12th for the scene of reported troubles between the Navajo and Zuna tribes The Indian affairs of the two Territories are to great extent com mon, and we enter our protest against Col. Nathanel Pope, Indian Super intendent of New Mexico, proceeding in the direction of the Apache region (see New Mexican of the 15th) ito get Cachees and hls blnd to come up- on the reservation" We think there has been enough nonsense in the case of Cachees. Let us have no more futures and no marplots. Cachees needs killing before taking on any reservation. The reservation dodge is his strong suit, as the graveyard of Arizona will testify.

BREAD UPON THE WATERs.-The more we hear from that Legislative pamphlet, exhibiting in bulk to the press and people at large the atrocities of the Apaches, the more that document looms up from the near past tremendous loaf cast upon the waters to return an hundred fold to the original owner. Nearly every mail for the past month or six weeks, has laid on our table some of the good fruits thereof in one and another shape. Papers of first class ability, that we never heard of before, come with marked editorials mentioning that pamphlet in the right spirit. Our duty was to keep on sending out additions to the work, instead of reprinting any of the good words. We have not space to thank these scores of exchanges in detail.

 ei Els.

ei Els.
 Viendoque nuestro5 ciudano5 Mejica- nos toman sumo interes en saber algo tocante d nuestro nuavo Conmandan- te de Departamento; damos d conti- nuacion algunos de los principales puntos de su vida publica y de su caracter.
 Hizo SUI graduation en la academia Militar de West Point hacia el ano 1852. En el mismo alo entro en el ejercito regular como teniente segundo y cuatro anos despues ascendio te- niente primero. En 1861 fue elevado al range de capitan. Durante la Re belion, SC distinguio en varias ocasio- nes, al fin de la cual fue instalado Mayor General honorifico de los vo- luntarios. En la reorganization del ejercito fue instalado teniente coronel del 23 de Infanteria que es el rango que todavia ocupa, aunque el Presi- dente Grant le ha nom brado coman- dante de este Departamento con el rango de Mayor General honoritico.
 Antes de Ia revolucion estuvo en el Norte de Califolnia y ali fue donde DOT prlmera veg derroto d los Indios. Aunque joven todavia d csc tempo, Sc aplico al cnnocimiento de las costum- bres y el caracter de los lndios, y tan- buen excite tuvo, que no hubo Indio que jamas le enganase.
 En 1866 y 1867 enviaron un off, cial queno era sino un imidente epu- lon para que tomase el mando del districto submilitar de Boise que inciuia partes de Oregon, Idaho y Nevada. Los Inlios d esq tiempo estaban TO- bando matando los ciudadanos con tanta audaciay y arrogancia como To han estado haciendo aqui durante el nal manejo del Gen. Stoneman.
 Fl Gen. Crook fue nombrado para tomar el mando en csc Departamento a fines del 1866, y antes del fin de 1867 cesaron las depredaciones y desde esq fecha aci los IndioS han estado muy paciticCs.
 El mismo iba al campo de batalla d la cabeza de sLs columnas c h1zo el solo objeto de sus tropas que mata- sen Indios. Hizo unos Indios pelear contra los otros, y no dejo medic para acabar con los salvajes.
 No desperdicio su tiempo constru- iendo nuevos caminos nj esta blecien- nuevas postas; sinO que hiho que sus soldados fueran To que les correspon- de ser-gerreroS. Cuando seguia la huella de los Indios no Ia abandonaba hasta llegar sus rancherias y ali los atacaba. Fl Gen. Crook es un hom- bre honesto intrepido y energico, siem- pre- listo para hacer justicia d todos aquellos que tengan que hacer con 6l, sin considerar su rango sus riquezas.
 Fl Presidente Grant le conoce muy bien y en vista de suS muchas buenas cualldades como hombre, como of- cial, le ha nombrado para este Depar- tamento aunque no tuviese tan alto rango como Stoneman. Fl Gen. Crook es induda blemente el meior off, cial para Arizona y al que ansiamos DOT tener entre no5otros para que pres to tengamos nuestra redencion de las garras del barbara Apache.

Col. ROGER JONES, now inspecting the condition of military affairs in Arizona, by direction of Gen. Scofeld, is doing his work thoroughly, and the most wholesome re- suits may fairly be expected. We learn that he has taken some testimony of amore startling character relating to Camp Apa- che than we have yet produced in that di- rection. He has, as we are told, no sym pathy with the denunciation of citizens, and greatly regrets-as all good men do d condition of affairs exists nere to provoke such slaughter as that at Camp Grant. His conduct is so upright and fair, that a ''rat- ting of dry bones" is said to be prevailing to pleasant extent. With Gen. Scotields $ known good sense and inclination to deal justly, Col. Jones's report will surely tell without regard to rank or vanity. As this report leaves for Division Headquarters, Gen. Crook will be taking possession of Department Headquarters, and several things will be tres ultant."

THERE is a fellow at Camp Apache who is widest known as Smart Aleck.' Should the citizens ever make raid in that direc- ton, he should be the first object of their just wrath. We have it from good author ity that he is a mischief maker among the Indians, yet Col. Green keeps him employ ed as interpreter, and to distribute ammu- nition to the savages and to trade cartridg- es for turkeys and other game. Smart Aleck' says he will save his bacon by avoid ing Tucson. He says that with one eXcep- tion, the people of this place are every thing that's bad, and he will not risk him self with them. He will remain at Apache and do the bidding of Col Green, who has a like opinion of all the people of Arizona. They are pretty pairof human eXcrescen- ces, mai aimed by the cash of the people. The end of their public career may De near at hand. and the nearer the better for the public good. "Smart Aleck I5 Cot. Green" may be addressed on Indian ana other affairs at Camp Apache, Arizona, for limited periOd-we hope.

THE LATEST MASSACRE!
Upper Santa Cruz Valley Closely Besieged-.FOur Men Known to be kIlled--Indians in Large Force and Unusually We'll Armed.

This community has got past being even excited, much more startled, on the Indian question, hence the news of successful attack in force on the settlements of the Upper Santa Cruz Valley (60 miles south of Tucson), which reached here yesterday forenoon, was treated as matter of course.
 On Tuesday, eleven men on horseback, on the road frors Sonora, were attacked by Indians, two of the former killed and two wounded. Four of the attacked party's horses wounded and abandoned. They left their dead at the scene of attack (twO miles north of the Sonora line) and escaped to Peter Kitchens Ranch.
 On Wednesday, Agua Fria ranch and the town of Calabasas were attacked. Two men at the ranch escaped wounded. J. B. Blanchard. and George K. Saunders were killed at Calabasas. It is said three Indi- ans were also killed at Agua Fria.
 The savages were in large force. The report also says that there were no arrows used by the Indians, but that all seemed to have improved firearms. It is believed that Cachees and party, after repulsing It. Gushing, proceeded southwest to the So- nora road, hence the foregoing. Mr. Blanchard was an old resident in the Tubac Le Ven1eG, where the Arizona Com mune have run riot so long; he has had a number of close calls, as we say on the frontier, besides losing property enough to discourage most any man. He was man evidently of good family, ard well bled, and was one of the most industrious farm CTS in the Territory. As usual, we know nothing definite of his nativity, etc, but believe he was from one of the Middle or Eastern States.
 Saunders was a carpenter by trade. Was in the employ of Blanchard. He was a sergeant in Gal. Cav. Co.,, and is said to have been native of New York His body was buried-that of Blanchard's $ not, at last accounts.
 Some of the wounded were in a bad way
 THE attack on the Sonora party took place about noon; on Agua Fria, , p. m.
 It is hoped that Capt. Moore will head off the Indians.
 More particulars perhaps next week.
