PHGNIxIANA.-Wsnted to know-How
can the epizooty disappear in two weeks
if, as alleged. it is stable disease?
A young ladies COMMUNICATIVE is
our favorite Roman hero? Marius.
Even the epizooty is not without its
blessings. The price of sausages has de-
clined in tho market.
A blessed old lady being asked il she
ever had her ears pierced by the vail of
distress. said she couldn't very we'll re-
member, but she believed it was done
with fork.
"rip'tilted" is Tennyson's new de-
scription Of turn-up nose, and we sup
pose "lip-tilted" must hereafter desig-
nate ye old Roman hook.
Another good sign-Gcn. Grant has
declined the offer of an inaugural suit
OF clothes. Clothes and offer made by
q Pittsburg tailor.
No horse can escape the epizoosy; they
might as well "stand up to the rack" at
once.
The bread OF life is love; tho salt of
life is work; the sweetness OF life, poetry;
the water of life, faith.
Capital affairs--National loans.
Easy things to make Mistakes.

bond. holders.
Roporter-But it is ackno wledged that
these six millions of conversion bonds
are fraudulent. At least such is the in.
ference, from the fact that tho late Comp
troller- General made no provision for
them in his attempted tax levy. Do I
understand you to say that those fraud
ulent bonds will also be redeemed pro
rata with the others in your new sob eme ?
The Governor-As I said before, even
if the bonds are fraudulent, the holders
arc innocent of any fraud, and they
should not in equity be made to suffer
for the wrong dolngs of others. Should
the plan that I have roughly sketohed
for the reduction of the debt be carried
out, no discrimination against these
bonds will be made. They will oil be
treated alike.
Keporter-lt is probable, ihen, that
no provision for the interest on the pub.
Iic debt will be made this year2
The Governor-None ut all, and no
appropriation or tax levy will be- made
for that purpose until tho arrangement
that have alluded to, or something
equivalent, is made. The platform OF
the Republican party pledges it, and
we intend to be governed by that plat
form.
Reporter-Have the Committee of
Ways and Means of the House made any
provisions about the taxes, yet?
The Governor believe the commit
tee had n meeting last night. but I am
not aware that they agreed upon tho
figures. I am informed, however. that
fourteen mills will bo the figure, cxclu-
Sive OF tho County tax.
Reporter what purpose will this
enormous tax be used?
The Governor-It is largo, but not
moro than will be absolutely necessary
to carry on the government. The def
cheney amounts to the enormous sum of
S75O,000. which must be paid. This
will require tax of Ave mills. Tho

THE INDIANS.

The "noble red men" of this immediate vicinity. have been quiet for some time past, but the Cevents or Cerbets, to the north of us, have, quite recently, stolen 13 head of an- imals from citizens of Fort Rock. Besides this, they wounded-with bullets-several other animals, which they failed to take with them Dan. OLeary-gooi authority-says these Cevents are the worst Indians in the Territory, and that campaign ought to be made against them. They speak Piute, and are well armed.
 Delachaye and his band of cut -throats left Camp Mcdowell one night recently, taking with them several animals belonging to Gov ernment and citizens.
 About 100 helpless Apaches remain at Camp Date Creek; 300 are said to be at the Colorado River reservation; 1900 at Camp Grant, and but very few at Camp Verde. A great many of the thieves are now down ID Mexico, killing and stealing, and small par ties of them have been seen south of Tucson, heading for the Camp Grant Reservation, with animals which they had stolen from Mexicans.
 We are satisfied that the Indians of this vicinity mean to fight it out upon the old line, rather than go upon the reservations, and unless We are very much mistaken, they will soon open upon us.

TUCsoN, January IS, 1872.
 We have had another killing case here in Tucson. They are getting to be too com mon. It seems that Mexican named Bor- ques was accused by Frederick Marsh and Thomas Driscoll, partners in the butchering business, of having stolen lot of lard from them. On Tuesday Marsh went to the Jus tice of the Peace, c. II. Meyers, to obtain warrant for Borques' arrest. The Justice ap- pointed him special deputy to arrest the accused. Marsh and Driscoll went to his house. The former called him out, where upon words passed between the Mexican and Driscoll, when the letter drew his pistol and shot the former in the abdomen. Borques died the following day.
 We have news here of the death of Major Kelly, of the Sth Cavalry. He died at Den yer, (Col.) on the 18th ult. MARIus.

 We visited 'tthe Yumas"-Fort and peo- pie. The Fort was commanded by Captain Vivian; the Indians, by Pasqual. Captain Vivian received us kindly, and so did Pas qual. Our observations, while among the Yuma Indians, led us to believe that all of them that have remained virtuous are happy, while those who have departed from the paths of virtue, and taken the trail of vice, are abandoned wretches, not fit to live and unwilling to die.

 It was late in the summer of 1866, when, after having travelled for several weeks, through q thiekly y-wooded range of noun tains, ourself and fl other persons descended from the summit of said range, at point where the river in question debOuches from the frozen mountains in New Mexico and en- ters the sunny plains of Arizona. Here, in a beautiful valley, on the east side of the river, are the ruins of Old Fort West, while oppO- site it, in a valley equally beautiful, are ruins of houses, corraIs, &c., which were erected by American citizens, who, shortly after hay ing gone to the labor and expense of erect ing them, were driven away by Apaches. At this place, two subsidiary streams - Duck Creek and Bear Creek-enter the Gila, and are lost among its waters. The first named creek rises in and runs through volcanic re- zion. The other starts out from springs Tn the famous mining camp of Pinos Atlas, and from its bed, tens of thousands of dollars worth of glittering gold have been taken.
 The Gila, in this valley, is large, rapid stream, resembling, in size, the Wabash. Its banks are lined with cottonwood, pine, walnut and other trees, while clusters of wild grapevine are quite plenty. Grass is, of course, abundant. All these, with the cle- vated range of pine-clad mountains which form the back ground, make upa picture worth seeing and one from which ourself and compaE- ions would unwilingly have turned our backs upon, had it not been that our commissary was very nearly empty. This being pain ful fact, our first duty to ourselves was to find some town, settlement or military camp, where, for money, we could replenish our stores, and save our bodies from suffering the gnawings of hunger. Fort Goodwin, we knew, was the nearsst point to be met with

 Well, we started down the west bank o the good river, hoping 10 be able to do so un til Goodwin should come in view and cheer us. But, in this, we very soon found our selves baulked, owing to certain range o mountains winch impedcd our course and shut the river up in long, narrow canon in which, we very we'll knew, we could not make much, if any headway. So, taking the hills for it, ourselves and animals had, once more, to take the rough world as we found if, and rough it was, sure, for some 10 or 90 miles, until the old mountains relented, and plain, over which we travelled, with case, to the river, was already completed for us. The river was crossed and few days more travel saw the party at Camp Goodwin, where we found an empty sutler store, and Govern ment commissary filled with good things, none of which things were, however, for any of the Josephs, Johns or other named ind- viduals of our party.
 The country bordering the Gila, from West to Goodwin, is not remarkable for grandeur of scenery, yet it is not, by any means, de- void of interest. Large valleys were ire quently met with, and ono, in particular, near the site of the ancient ruins known as Protio Figo, was gazed at with wistful eyes, it appeared so level, rich and inviting. Water, to irrigate it, could be taken from the river tt very little cost, and with water it would produce excellent crops.
