Letters from Tucson.
Tvcsox, Arizona, Dec. 30, 1870.

We people of Tucson are grcatpcopie, and Southern Arizona is great country! ] just mention the fact, as it may not havo occurred to many of your readcm. We lad Christ mas hal-wc of Southern Arizona. or course we were not all on hand lt took place on Monday, which was rather m insult to Old Christmas, who had pcrishcd twenty hours previously. Two balls and . horse-race are projected for New Years; one of the former 60 be 9entc Eiaa; the other bronco. The horse-race has been gotten up on the sweep stake system.

 FIGnT
 Took place this afternoon, which resulted in glossy representation of tue 10th amend mcnt finding himself stretched out on his back, with the fingers of proud Caucasian pressing heavily upon his trachea. The man from sunny Africa felt like fighting, and, ac- cordingly, pushed his way into tine dining hall of Mir. filling, by whom he was thrown out and severely pummeIed. In all of this there was nothing remarkablei but the se- quel proves that law is administered at Tue son, and, therefore, VIC are, as have stated, a great people. Mr. filling was arraigned before Alderman Meyers and fined SlS for having thrown out the nggcr. The latter would have been the victim Uf law had he possessed the necessary funds to pay costs. Fortunately for him, however, he is as inno- cent of money as Meyers is of legal talent and justice. Hence the issue.
 BIC SCARE.
 It has been announced, and upon good all. thorty, that the removal of the supply depot from Tucson has bccn decided upon. As. sistant Quarternaster Lee has not yet rc- ccived the order, but, understand, has in dubitAb!e information to this effect; And so, the order to pack up and leave may arrive
 by Sundays mail. This will be a heavy
 blow to US great people. \ few of our n'ct-
 chants, who live only to manifest their patri.
 otism by supplying their kind old Uncle , Sam. with provisions, etc, for his naughty } warriors, are already thinking abou. taking account of stock, so as to be in readiness to follow in the wake of the absconding depot . PVR$oSAL.
 Judge Cartier, Of your town, and Dr. Al
 sap, of Phoenix, have been here for a week l, stopping at the Stevens House. The Judge stands the times remarkably well, and hi a many friends congratulate him upon his ca - pabllity of resisting that peculiar inlluenc' ' which our climate generally exercises upoi i condition, looks we'll and feels at home ans
 happy. And let me throw in q little medi :, tation just here. When come to consider s the ability of these two gentlemen, as weli a - that of all others elected by Yavapai, to tn Il Legislature, feel that poor Pima has los 7 prestige,-her delegation cannot favorabl ?, compare, Still, VIC arc . great peoplc-w II of Pima. We have elected supervisors, on d of whom cannot speak or understand th 'e English language, another Of whom signs hi 's name mechanically, while the third is abou 'e to resign. j>.t3... l.

Perhaps d will but doubt it. have heard it report 'u cd that removal from office, as Governor, . contemplated; and should the course 's events establish this fact, then he will hAN 'e to try his hand at mining or some other hoI )" est business.
