GEN. CROOKS OPERATIONS.

the head of Aribaipa canyon, from whence Field Quartermaster Lieuten- ant Ross was dispatched to Camp Grant for rations to subsist the com mand until the end of August. Leav- ing Camp Bowie on the 17th, the march made to the 26th was via The Dos Cabezas, Graham, and Turnbull mountains. When not far from Bowie, near The Dos Cabezas, trail was struck which the guides pronounced that of Cachise. The machinery of the command was then working roughly, or the band would have been caught. As 1t was, three horses, one mule and seventeen jackasses were captured, and large quantities of mes cal, camp utensils, etc., destroyed. The Indians made most rapid retreat
 with nothing but their worthless lives.

 and better The whole machinery of the command was daily improving, and the spirits of all hopeful. The marching thus far has proved ben eficial and good foundation IS about secured for continued future operations. We learn with much satisfaction, that General Crook is more hopeful than when he left Tue son on the 11th inst. He is ever pres ent with the command, and feels that if not interfered with by the threat ened Indian Commission, that ne and the soldiers and guides will make a final peace with the Arizona Indians. The people fully appreciate the ear nestness, the intelligence, and devotion to duty which mark the onward march of the present Department commander, and will rejoice at every successful movement and deed of his looking to permanent peace-all the array of liars to the contrary notwithstanding.

 The same letter has these items of interest:
 Our Board of Supervisors have been in session for the past two weeks and have generally overhauled the affairs of the county. Tax assessed for the present year, $2 50 on each S1O0 valuation; county indebtedness, some $15, ,00O. You may judge of our financial condition when I tell you that County Warrants are now worth p cts. on the dollar, and draw 10 cts. per annum interest.
 Castle Dome Mining District is still the engaging theme, but the quiet ret icence of those interested prevents me from furnishing you with the promised statistics.
 Business dull, though gold notes have made their appearance among us.
 A WASHINGTON dispatch of July IA, says the savage Cachise will visit the national capital ere many weeks. There is heartless body known as the Indian Commission, that must keep up these farcial visits or cease to exist. The game of this govern menttl excrescence is we hope ap- disgraceful end.
