HIS General Health Improving
 Left Eye Lost.
 We clip the following from The Long Island Farmer, of July 13, a paper published at Jamaica, the early home of Arizona's Delegate:
 The serious illness by which the Hon. R. c. Mccormick, Congressional Representative from, and late Gov ernor of, Arizona, was prostrated some weeks since, has resulted in the loss of his left eye, and so weakened the right that it can be used but little at present. Both eyes were attacked by an intense inflammation, supposed to be the result of cold and not of poi soning, as at first reported, and for some time MT. Mccormick was totally blind and suffered intensely. While travelling in New Mexico, last winter, his left eye was injured by an ac- cidental stroke from drivers whip, but the injury was not then thought to be permanent. It is now supposed that it left the eye without strength to resist the recent severe attack. MT. McCormick's general health is i'm proving and he is now able to ride out daily. His physicians think that his great loss will not materially interfere with prompt discharge of his Con- gressional and other duties, and such is the hope of his many friends. MT. Mccormick will remain for the pres ent, and probably for the summer. at the residence of his mother and sister at this place. Under the act of Con- gress, approved March 3, 1871, the President has appointed him one of the Commissioners to provide for celebrat- ing the one hundredth anniversary of American Independence, by holding all International Exhibition, at Phila- delphia. But of course the duties of this position will not require immediate attention. Being a man of rare ener- gy, great endurance, and regular habits, we believe that he will fully rally again, and not only his present constituency but the whole country be benefited by years of his useful labor. There are few men that the great West could so ill-afford to lose.

THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS DEPo.

THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS DEPOT ULATED.-LoNDoN, July 25.--The Standard to-day publishes the details of series of terrible earthquake shocks, which recently occurred on the Phillipine Islands. More than 200 persons were swallowed up by earthquake, and every one of them almost instantly killed. Sixty bodies of the dead will be recovered. All the inhabitants have fled the Island, which has been utterly depopulated.

 The officers of this expedition are busily arranging the preliminaries of another survey over the country from Fort Bascom to the Rio Colorado, in order to the final location of the road. The expedition will be divided into three parties; one under MT.

FOR ARIzoNA.-Last Thursday night at Gold Run was organized a party to go to Arizona in the interest of company lately formed with a capital stock of $3OO,OOO. The party will go to locate mines of coal, gold and silver, and also water privileges, in Pinal District, Arizona, sixty miles northeast of Tucson, on the line of the Southern Pacific Railroad. The party will consist of eighteen men, armed with Henry rifles, and will leave somewhere between the 25th and 31st of this month. They will take with them from this city their sup plies and equipments, and will procure horses and pack animals at Los Ange- les. Officers will be chosen and 8 military discipline maintained after they leave Los Angeles.-[ Sacramento Record, July r.

 WASHINGTON, July 19.-Orders were sent to-day to General Crook, in Arizona to cease his warfare on the Apache Indians till the Peace Commissioners have an op portunity of using their influence.
 We should be somewhat slow, per haps, to believe all that comes to us by telegraph. Hence, we are of opinion that the foregoing dispatch should be received with many grains of allow ance. It is hard to believe that such imbecility can possibly prevail ill Government departments at Washing ton. Why should the late change have been made, if a peace policy for Arizona had been resolved on Why select General Crook for con- mand of the Department-a young, hale, and active officer, who made his reputation by Indian fighting, if he was to go there and play only second to the Quaker Commission! Yes, it is rather hard to believe that such an order could have been issued but if 1t has been then no words can prop erly characterize such supreme folly and imbecility. If this policy is to be initiated the sooner Arizona is abandoned by the brave band of pioneers who have held it, the bet ter will it be for those people; the sooner it is handed over to the Apaches and Quakers, the sooner will the Washington incapables lealn what is necessary to establish peace in that unfortunate Territory. It is too bad, just now, when a gleam of light begins to penetrate the deep gloom which has for so many years hung like black pail upon the hopes and energies of the people of Arizona, to have the country again immersed in blackness, and murder, and desolation. Such is the inevitable destiny prepared for the people of that unfortunate Territory, if the foregoing dispatch, which is going the rounds of the press, is reliable.-[Los Angeles Star, July 26.
