a DEADLY ENCOUNTER.
/ sham Duel ON the Banks OF the

BLOOD ALMOST SPILLED.

For some time past there has seemed to
be determination, on the part Of some OF
the Young hloods OF this section TO give
the newspapers first class local, brought
on, no. doubt, by the extreme hot weather
we have experienced the past few weeks
For several days all was calm AS a mid

Richmond to be laid in his last resting
place, the other to be buried in the Ohio
River. All the preliminarles having been
satisfactorily adjusted, the principals took
their places, while the seconds having
prepared the weapons, (revolvers,) gave
the command to fire. The weapons, how
ever, having less desire TO hurt some one
than the combatants, failed to 60 oil Once
more they were tr iel, again they failed
The blood Of the antagonists bv this time
had reached fever heat, AMI with vile
ekecration- they threw the revolvers down
and depanded others. Double barreled
shot guns were then brought forward. At
the word, they both fired, and when the
smoke cleared away, each expected TO find

GENERAL GEORGE CROOK.
What Our Exchanges Say of his Ap- pOintment as Brigadier-GeneraI.
From The Alta California;

By telegraph we are informed that Lieu tenant-COlOnel Crook, who has so often and for so many years rendered his Gov ernment and the people such signal ser vices in many dangerous and tOilsOme campaign against the Indians, has been promoted to the position Of Brigadier-Gen- eral.
 To give General Crook this position, it has been necessary to jump him over the heads and ranks of twenty-four thirty four, ED. CITIZEN, ColOnelS. But this seems case when merit of extraordinary character and service of the most danger ous, trying and important nature should be recognized, as it has been.
 It may be taken for granted that the peo- pie who know General Crook, and have had opportunities of being acquainted with the honest work he has done, will swing their hats in the air and hail the act as Q reward of true merit.
 From The San Francisco Chronicle.l
 The promotion of Crook to be a Brig adier-General will be cause of rejoicing on this Coast, and elsewhere. In Arizona especially, where he has done such good service, will this recognition of his efforts at the subjugation of the hostile Indians be welcomed. General Crook is no favor ite of fortune, but has deserved well of the country, and has won his way to his pres ent position by hard and gallant fighting.
 From The Arizona Sentinel.]
 we nave no language 10 express the proud satisfaction we feel at the action of our hOnOred President in appointing this excellent officer to this position. Words are useless. The hearts of the people respond and say well done. True, sterling merit recognized at the right time and in the right place. We of Arizona for whom this gallant officer has done so much, have peculiar cause for qualification.
 From The Los Angeles Starl
 The President never made more worthy appointment than this. We believe the entire country and particularly that DOT tiOn of it west of the Mississippi river, will applaud the appointment of Crook.
 From The san Diego Union.1
 The announcement of the promotion of General George Crook to full Brigadier- GeneralShip, given in The Unions special dispatches this morning, will be hailed with joy throughout the Pacific Coast. In Arizona, the news will be the occasion of a jubilee. The Government, while it hon. ors itself in honOring Crook, can never re- pay to him the debt it owes. He has ac- cOmplished in less than two years, the sub jugation of a race of savageS that has de- fled the military power of old Spain, of Mexico and the United States during period which extends back nearly three hundred years. In conquering the Apache Indians and restoring peace to Arizona, General Crook has earned the lasting gratitude of his country. To us who dwell upon the border, and within a few days travel of the scene of his achievements, the magnitude Of the task he has perform ed is perhaps more apparent than to those, at distance.

Texas Pacific Railway Matters. From The San Diego Union:

NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-The failure of the California and Texas Railway Construc- tion Company to meet their notes in Phil adelphia for $300,000 yesterday, will not in- terrupt the steady building of the Texas and Pacific Railway in accordance with the charter requirements.
 It is officially stated that Colonel Scott has arranged for sufficient money to go forward with the work at each end of the line, in compliance with obligations
 He is confident the bonds of the Texas and Pacific can be successfully placed on the European market within few months when the American financial disturb ance has subsided.
 It is believed that the creditors of the Construction Company will speedily ar range for the extension of it's liabilities, so as to give the Company time to realize without sacrifice.

Another Book on Arizona.

According to a Boston letter, date October g, to The Sacramento Union, another precious book devoted to Ari- zona, is about being published. The authors name is significant and in dicates the character of the book, if we can rely upon The Unions corres- pondent who refers to 1t in this way:
 A book will be published here early next month that ought to have a large sale among the gentle Apaches if, indeed, they have taste for reading, and like to see themselves as others see them. Itis called "The Marvellous Country and was written by B. w. COZZenS, who wears the title Of "Judge," though where he got it don't know. He travelled through Arizona ex- tensively in 1858 and boasts of being the only white man who ever visited the head quarters of the Apaches, in the character of guest, and returned alive. This priv1- lege he owed to the fact that Cachise, an Apache chief, served him for a time as his guide. His account of the state of society at the seat of Apache civilization is not very cheering, and he does not give these people credit for possessing the higher v1r- tues of human nature in large develop ment. Of the mineral wealth of Arizona he has much to say-enOugh to excite the cupidity of his reader. But he shows that the obstacles in the way of " realizing" on the treasures of silver ore are formidable enough to frighten the boldest hearts. One mine he tells of where ore yields 5000 to the ton;. but several superintendents and gangs of miners who have endeavored to work it have been promptly killed by the ApacheS, and for many years it has been deserted. The book contains good deal Of fresh and interesting matter, but it is badly written and badly put together. It is likely to have large sale, however, for the public will be won by its numerous and well executed illustrations.

YaVapai County.
From The Miner of November l {:

This section of the Territory is rapidly filling up with cattle. About week ago a herd of 500 head arrived in Chino Valley and passed on towards Camp Hualpai. A few days ago, John Roberts, one of ourold- time citizens, arrived at the Verde, from Texas, with HOO head, which himself and partner, a MT. Franks, sold to c. w. Bow CTS and Hugo Richards.
 Had heavy wind and light showers of rain Saturday last; heavy frost on several mornings. Calvin White, who arrived here from Mohave county, Thursday night with the mail, says that snow fell on him Saturday night last, between An vii Rock and the Willows. The Peaks of San Francisco mountains are white with snow.
 Kelly & Stephens, our enterprising news depot men, are having an addition built to their store on Gurley street, near Ken dall's drug store.
 George Lount has men at work prepar- such county buildings as he has contract ed to build. The Masons and Odd Fellows of our town are again talking of building hall and procuring library.
 Three Indians and Mexican are now in custody at Fort Whipple, awaiting trial in cans some time ago near Camp Apache, from which place the accused men were recently brought by Deputy Sheriff Cooley and a posse. It is expected that one or more Indians will be tried for cOmplicity in the Wickenburg stage massacre. We learn that Gen. Crook has sent to the Col orado reserve for Indian witnesses, who, for some reasons, have not been sent here.
 The word is that Mir. Jas. Cusenbary has had great success in quieting claimants against the company, and that he will soon start work at mill and mine. MT. Sexton, the old superintendent, is bound eastward. A letter from Peter Taylor, of Bill Smiths mill, informs us that the mill was grinding out plenty of gold, and that rich ore.
 Lieut.. John G. Bourke is now installed in Capt. Nickerson's old place, as aid-de- camp to Gen. Crook, and A. A. 4. G. of the department. That he will transact the business of these trying positions in an able, impartial manner is not for mo- ment doubted by us.

Yuma County.
From The Sentinel of Novem Der 8:

 November 8, district court should have opened but judge Porter not having arriv- ed, Sheriff Goodwin called and adjourned it from day to day. Deputy sheriff Tyner captured Gertrude at Coyote Wells, and brought him safely to jail again, from which he never should be liberated except to be hung.
 J. L. Smith is about to erect building 32X40 for store-rooms which are already rented.
 Dr. E. I. Bailey, Medical Director of the Department Of Arizona, and Capt. A. H. Nickerson, Adjutant General and family arrived at Fort Yuma, last Saturday by row boat, one day and half from Ehren- berg.
 Following teams were dispatched during the week by Wm. B. Hooper & Co: Geo. Fields, James Bowley, Fred. Meyers, F. Amabisca, J. Osborn, Barnett & Block, A. Escobosa, with 6S, 900 tbs. citizen freight to Florence and Tucson, and 92,OO0 lbs. quar- termaster and commissary stores to Camps Apache, Grant and Bowie.
 Under its special redemption law, the treasurer of Yuma county on October 3l, redeemed S993 40 of warrants at 621a cents per dollar, and S45 40 at 70.

WE ALL LINED IN.

Those who are old enough to remember the oldest spelling-books, will remember the child-startling assertion that
 In Adams fall
 We sin ned all. The parody on this has been long cOm- ing, but Josh Billings has finally drawn the bead after this fashion,:
 In Adams sin
 We all jined in. Mrs. Churchill of Rhode Island, said in the WOman's Congress that while at the Boston Jubilee, she heard one of Strauss waltzes played, which was called Wine, Women and Song. She thought the asso- Ciation in the title was outrageous. But it was Dr. Luther who first uttered the senti- ment:
 Who loves not Women, Wine and Song, Has been a fool his whole life long.

Military News.
We are in receipt of these items

We are in receipt of these items from Prescott:
 Captain Thomas Byrne, l2th Infantry, arrived at headquarters with an Apache Mohave Indian to be tried by civil court for murder.
 General Crook, accompanied by General Vandever, started for Verde October 30. After inspecting Verde, he will continue on to Camps Apache, Grant and Lowell. Colonel Evans, Inspector General, will go with him.
 Upon arriving in this Department, Act ing Assistant Surgeon Benjamin G. Me Phail will report without delay, for field duty, to the commanding officer Camp Grant.
 Lieut.. Thomas, 5th Cavalry, returned to WhippIe, November 1, with his detach- ment after prolonged scout of forty-one days in the Bradshaw and Ha-cua-gila Mountains. They saw no signs of Indians in that part of the country. Dispatches received from Major Brown, show that October 29 he attacked a rancheria of h. dians near the east fork of the Verde, kill ing twenty-four and capturing nine. Among the killed, was MachO-do-ta, the brother of Del-che. A complete set of miners tools and some new clothes were found among the property of the hostile Indians.

 Speaking of Scott, he told me to-day that he had ten millions of Texas Pacific bonds negotiated at 2% premium, and papers ready to sign when Jay Cooke &c Co.'s case came up. When asked finally whether they (the contracting parties), as prudent told them to wait a little; and there his desired ten millions stand as yet. He has hopes that all will be we'll with it still, but he feels the disappointment most sadly. w.
