THE BEluGE.-Mary Of our citizens
are curious to know what is 20 be done
in regard to a bridge this season. The
Common Council have concluded,
owing to the lateness of the season, to
fix up tho old concern and make it do
during the coming term Of navigation,
and then more time can be had in
which to build bridge that our citi-
zens will not be as hamcd of, and one
that will be a credit to the city.

Mir. Mccormick.

The Sunday Hsrald. of Washington City, says in its issue of July IA:
 We doubt whether any Territory, or even State, ever had a more efficient representative in Con- gross than Mir. Mccormick, the delegate from Ar izona. He returns 10 his distant constituency, where at the latest advices no candidate had been found to stand against him for reelection. Al though opposed to him in politics, we do not be- lieve the people of Arizona could do better than return him. Men of his class are acceptable and useful in Washington, no matter what their po- litcal affiliations may bc.
 It is testimony such as this, and "lots ot it" that has induced us to cease our opposi- tion to Mr. Mccormick; to forget past differ ences and prejudices; to lay aside party feeling, for the present; and, in obedience to the almost general desire of the voters of our Territory, strengthen the hands of MT. Mccormick, at Washington, by aiding m sending him back as the unanimously elected representative of the Territory, whose wants Mr. Mccormick so thoroughly understands, and has, of late, so earnestly endeavored to supply. Any other course, on our part, at this time, would not be in the interest of our Territory and people.

Unequal Combat with Indians

Lieutenant Hall and ten men, of the gal lant Fifth U. s. Cavalry, have won fame and earned the thanks nf the friends of civiliza- ton every where by having recently follow ed the trail of party of Indian thieves, into the Whetstone Mountains, distance of 10 miles, at the end of which distance, the Lieutenant and his men, found a large party of savages strongly posted in rocks above them, which party our brave boys attacked and fought until they became convinced of their inability to dislodge the red hrutes.
 The fight lasted good while, and was not given up until after Sergeant Lcarnord and William Porter had received painful injuries, when the little party rctreated to Camp Crittenden, which point they reached after an absence of 40 hours, spent in riding and fighting, on empty StomachS, all for the sake of doing their duty, in endeavoring to chastse a lot of Government pets who had robbed a poor farmer of his cattle.
 Justly are the citizens of this Territory proud of the noble off CTS and men of the Fifth Cavalry, who, with General Sheri Ian, believe that Indians, as well as whites. should be punished whenever they commit wrongs.

 The foregoing refers to a mine from which but short time ago, owners and workmer were forced to retire, owing to the threaten ing attitude of savage Indians who had just stolen every animal belonging to every white man in the district.

That Report.

The Report of General Howard will be found printed in full upon the outside pages of to-day's MINER. It is interesting, and We bespeak for it perusal. Its great length has so cramped our space, and other matters have so crowded our time and attention that we have, this week. been unable to summar- ize its points, or attempt to frame anything like an opinion upon some of its recommen- dations and theories. But, our readers are intelligent men and women thoroughly quail flied to analyze and pass judgment upon the document, which, we firmly believe, will strike them as being a fairer, more candid statement of the situation here than they have been led to expect from a man of Gen eral Towards way of thinking.
