 Not long since, Col.

 Although the supposed diamond fields are close to Prescott, no diamond hunter has re- turned here for some time past, consequently, we are without late news from the diggings, and, in lieu thereof, we give the following, from the Los Angeles Express of Nov. Q:
 "A party in charge of Mir. T. w. Brooks, of Prescott, left town this morning en route for the diamond fields of Arizona via San Bernardino and Prescott. The last named town being the rendezvous of the organiza ton, from which it will set out for the mine: in the ncighborhood of old Fort Defiance some time during the early part of nex month.
