which it will reach in January next. The
comet will be telesoopically visible some
months previously, but it is not an OBJ.
ject OF especial interest to those whose
vision is unaided by instruments. AZ.
tronomers will soon begin to point thoir
telescopes to the neighborhood where
the comet will be first seen. It has
very short period only thee years and
quarter. The least distance from the
sun is 80, 900, 600 OF miles. or about the
average distance of Mercury. The
greatest distance is 387, 600. 900 OF miles,
or more than four times that of the
earth. This comet is principally Of in
terest becnuse it's period of revolution
has diminished to the extent OF about
three days in the pnst eighty years,
fact which is generally accepted as fur
nishing the best proof Of the theory
that the regions OF space are filled with
a material ''ether". capable OF retarding
the motion OF the bodies composing the
solar system. or course this resiatino
medium would produce annual effects
upon the comet OF few tons in weight
that would not be experienced by our
earth in the course OF thousands OF ages.
But the result, though long deferred, is
none the less inevitable earth, planets
and comets will be eventually precipi-
tated into the sun.

Mexican Bandits Again.

We have letter from King s. Woolscy, of Agua Calicntc Rancho, on the Lower Gila. dated October lj, from which we make thc following extract. It will bc observed that Mexican lauditti are masters of the situa- tj1n:
 Tho River is literally alive with Mexican banGt>s as many as eighteen, armed with tvo revolver, each, also with needle guns and Winchester rifles. have been seen during the last week. Several of them are well known desperIdOcs. Messrs. Runner, Sanson and kenuady started five days ago on the trail of three oi them, and have not since been heard from. Fears are entertained that they have been murdered, and we are not strong enough to leave our home and go forth to solve the mystery. Two of them visited the Agua Callentc Rancho, last week, in the absence of tho men. who were at work in the fields. took what ammunition they wanted, drew the load, from what guns they found loaded aud hroNe all the cartridges, carefully spill iug the powder in the sand They onquired for McNlans formerly employed at the ranch and who have proved themselves friendly to the Americans. Something terrible will take place in a few days unless the scoundrels find that they are not strong enough and flee to Sonora then it will only be question of time. when they will return with sufficient force to accomplish anything they may wish Their object now is to take the Texas cattle in a body, to sonora, where they claim we cannot follow them without infringing upon international law. Comment is useless have stated facts which speak for themselves

General Sherman's head is as level on the Indian question as it was when Northern ed itors, and statesmen" accused him of being crazy, during the early period of the war Here is what he says regarding one murder ous Indian and his yillainous tribe.
 The Kiowas recently returned the mules and property stolen from the whites during one of Santanta's raids, and plead for the life of their chiefs in return-Santanta and Big Tree. General Sherman forwards the peti- tion to the War Department with this yigor- ous indorscment:

A Terrible Visitation

Was that which recently fell upon Chicago. Terrible suffering is the portion of tens of thousands of her unhappy people, and shall we ArI1onans, who, too, know what suffering IS, close our hearts to the suffering of our iellow-citizens who sit and weep by the now dismal ruins of their once proud city, and mingle their sad walls with the equally sad sounds that rise up from the waves of Lake Michigan. Humanity dictates different course. Charity for our afflicted fellow beings must rule our actions, and impoverished as we are by the dreadful Indian war that has devastated our land, we must send money to help the poor Chicagosns out of their sad Phght' Let every Arizonan do his duty in thls desperate crisis.

FOR THE GOOD OF THE SERVICE. "

General Crook and hi, staff officers are doing everything in their power 10 amclioratc the condition oi enlisted men in this Terri tory, and, hereafter, we may look for fewer desertions from the ranks, for better state of discipguc and more general contcn,mcut among tllc troops. lt is the policy of Gen cral Crook, and likewise of General Iompkins, to have tle greater part of whatever labor may bc necessary at military posts performed by citizens. and tD employ the soldiers as soll.ers--no, as laborcrs, a- in times past lt Is perfectly consistent with common sense that descrtion, from the Army should have been numerous Mrn sent ol' here as -ul- diyrs soon fouul that their SIS per month would, according to the rate, of trade in Ari- zona- amount L. less, perhaps, than S5 at the East; and yet, for this patry sum, they were obliged to labor all day. and frequently starH guard every night All this was owing tO yhe great number of small military posts scattered over the Territory, ant Co the cease less duty required of the men, such as pro- curing lumber, making 039'@, getting wood aud water, handling stores, building houses. cleaning and caring for animals, scouting, c,- cDrting and numerous other kinds of employ ment. While thIs oppressive system was ad- hered to ln Arizona, costly works were being carried on at Wilmington. California, and other points outside of the Territory, where money was expended very l1yishly, and dur in- the time of this expenditure, only few favored posts in Arizona were allowed any citizen employees whatever But this miscr- able system, thanks to the superior judgment of the present officers ot the department, Is now abolished Generals Crook and Tump klns are not the men to dodge service at any point. They are here, living m cabins in which miner or farmer would not wish to lrye, and what little money they can spare from the scant appropriation dealt out to them, is being expended To make enlisted men comfortable and to tit them for the man ly performance of that duty which, as sol diers, it Is their province to observe.
 Government can afford to fll the pock- cts of humbug such a- Vincent Colyer, with iaoney Co be used in prolonging Indian wars, but when it comes to dealing with the forces in this department, where every article pur- chared costs nearly three times IS much as the same in any other department, the off cers are expected 10 build, 10 supply them selves with horses, etc, and, at the same time to carry on war for the same amount of mon ey. per man, as Is allowed in other depart mcnts.

Arrested for Murder.

Wcsce by an article in the San Francisco B"lletia, that one J. o. Ridgeway, of Walla- pal mining district, while in San Francisco, recently, for the purpose of negotiating an agreement for the shipment and sale of ores, was arrested on q charge of having murdered a man named Andrews, in Fresno county. Cal, in July 1870 From the nature of his .tatement, as published, it would seem that MT. kidgeway was entirely iustifiable; and as he bus given the names of several persons who were present at the occurrence and who can testify to the truth of his statement, he will doubtless be set at liberty after having had an examination

To Be Relieved

A despatch, dated Washington, Oct l6, is as follows:
 Major Jas. J. Dana has been ordered to report to the Commander of the Military Division of the Pacific as Chief Quarter master in Arizona, relieving Col. Chas. II. Tompkins.
 No doubt, this news will be pleasing to Col. Tompkins who has served on this coast since 1865; not 80 to citizens and soldiers who have learned to appreciate the man and hls many sterling qualities
