ARMY TRANsPoRTATION.-An advertise
ment of Deputy Quartermaster Tompkins,
calling for bids for transportation appears
in to-day's CITIZEN. 1t will be seen that
competition is invited on the routes leading
from Santa Fee and Arizona City.
DR.. H. K. DURANT, for the past year.
Post Surgeon of Camp Lowell, has been
ordered to Crittenden. This is uncomfort-
able for the Doctor, as he had just fairly
got everything snug here, and really we are
sorry he is going away because of profess
ional and other excellent qualities. So far
as a fixed home is concerned, an army sur
geon might as well turn Methodist minister
c. P. TAGGART, Esq, is the Agent of the
Pacific Mail Co. at San Diego, and he is the
right man for the place. Soldiers and all
others returning to the Atlantic States, will
find it economical and pleasant to take the
steamer at San Diego, by which they can
reach New York in about twenty days :;
and Arizona merchants ought to apply the
figures to cost of freight, time required,
&c, by the Ishtmus route to San Diego.
A LETTER from AJAX at Camp Apache,
is at hand. All the news it contains has
been in one or another form given in THE
CITIZEN, except that Col. Green and 1t.
Bonus and command arrived from their
Pinal scout, on the 18th ult. We hope our
correspondent will continue to send us
letters, and the less compliments and more
news they contain, the more acceptable
they will be.
Mr.. JONES, clerk in Fish & Co.'s store,
was out last week, to Tubac, and viewed
the wreck the Indians made of the home of
L. B. Wooster. Everything that could be
ruined was laid in ruins, and Trinidad Ag-
gerra, the woman reported captured, was
murdered within 400 yards of Wooster's
place Mr.. Jones picked up fresh scalp,
evidently taken from woman within few
weeks.
CAPT. FRANK STANwooD, of Sd Cavalry,
recently arrived from California, and will
assume command at Camp Grant. We have
heard nothing but favorable remarks of
Capt. as a thorough officer, and we be-
lieve, unless prevented by absolute orders,
he will Christianize the savages on the plan
recommended by Henry Ward Beecher for
the Border Ruffians in Kansas about IS
years ago, i. e. by bullets from Sharp's ri
fes first, and doses of Bible afterwards.
