Fertilizers.

In referring to fertilizers. the Boston
Journal of Chemistry says: One of
the most important facts which this
extraordinary wet season has brought
out is, that fertilizers applied to soils
IN dry summers without appreciable
effects, are rendered available in those
that are wet, the plat upon which our
fertilizers have been applied during
the past years, when the rainfall has
been so deficient, producing wonder
fully this season. The fertilizing SUBJ
stances have been lying dormant in
the soil for the want of water to render
them soluble or to hold them in solu-
ton, and this year the conditions have
been favorable for promoting the
changes, chemical and mechanical,
necessary for plant food to be made
available. Owing to the dry weather
thepast three years, it has been difficult
to conduct experiments with manures,
ard reach anything like reliable results.
Hundreds of farmers have been misled,
and have condemned as worthless
manurlal substances which had pos
tive value, but which needed the usual
material agencies to render them
assimilable. Farm dung and stable
manures, as well as chemical fertilizers,
have not exerted their full influence
upon soils to which they have been
applied, because of the absence of rain.
This season they have been thoroughly
subjected to the action of water, and
crops have been benefited by the
dormant manurial agents applied two
or three years ago. Manures are not
lost which do not act promptly, unless
they are blown away by winds or are
washed into brooks by sudden and
violent showers, which sometimes fall
upon the baked earth in summer. If
they remain in or upon the soil, favor.
able seasons, which are sure to come,
will force them to give up to plants the
food they contain, and the husbandman
receives his returns in abundant crops.

 TIE OVERLAND MONTHLY for January, 1873-This is the first monthly part of the tenth volume, and we must say is as interesting as any previous number we have perused. It keeps up its local character. isties to remarkable degree of excellence apparently improving with every issue. The price of the Magazine is S4 per year in coin, and it being the only literary Pacific slope matters a speciality, all who can afford to do so, should patronize it.. With increased patronage, it will improve in interest and usefulness. John H. Car many < Co.,, publishers, 4O9 Washington street, San Francisco.

CROOKS CAMPAIGN.

Major Browns Command XIII Fifty-
 seven Indians in the Tonto Coun-
 try---The True Work to Bring
 Permanent Peace. CAMP GRANT, Dec. 31, 1872.-I take great pleasure in writing you the best bit of news with which we of Camp Grant have been regaled for many a day.
 General Crook this morning received a dispatch from Major Brown, stating that his command had killed fifty seven Apa- ches and captured twenty three; also captured fifteen horses. Captain Burns, from Mcdowell, with one Troop of cavalry and seventy Pima Indians, fell in with Major Browns command few days before the fight, and consequently were in at the battle. I believe but one casualty oc- cured on our side-the killing of one Pima.
 Lieutenant Bourke writes that the place wneIe tne hSut occuiieu ID notut"t INT tifcatiOn on Salt River about thirty miles above McDowell. It took. a hard fight of five hours to get the enemy, but the work was completely done. Lieutenant Bourke also writes that the Apache soldiers taken from Grant were very brave and obedient.
 Major Brown was at Mcr owell on the 29lh December. and expected to leave soon to go after Delachy..
 General Crook starts from here for Mo Dowell to-day.

From the Wallapai Mines.

We had the pleasure of a call this week from MT. George Gleason, joint member of the Assembly from the counties of MOhave and Yuma. He is practical miner and possesses a common sense and practical turn generally. He is deeply interested in that important branch of industry-rnining and brings good news from his section. He showed us specimen of the first days work of Col. H. F. Bakers galmador at Wallapai, and to the extent of our judg- mont, it is perfect and we'll adapted to the purpose intended, that is Aux for re- ducing, in a blast furnace, the silver ores of that very rich mining district. Colonel Baker is erecting very costly and elaborate works at Wallapai, and as far as heard from, they are 8 grand success. His blast fur nace was to start up about the first of this month. and there is no reason to doubt its success.
 We trust that Col. Baker may be well rewarded for his energy and enterprise shown in. the erection of such extensive reduction works and, with him, may all the miners of that promising section of Arizona prosper. They have shown great faith and industry in developing our really rich but long neglected mines.

PROVOCATION TO EXULT.9

The military successes against tile
 hostile Apaches who for nearly year
 and half past have been repeatedly
 invited to go upon reserves and subsist
 in safety on the bounty of a govern
 ment and people they too long have
 defed and outraged, are provocations
 to exult which we don't care to resist j;
 although no people on earth have so
 sincerely regretted the necessity for
 these deadly battles with the Apaches,
 as those of Arizona. The killing and
 captures by the troops during the past
 few months must amount to hundreds.
 In any event, this kind of work will soon bring peace to Arizona. That peace has been so long deferred, was for years attributable to the ineffcien- cy and indifference of military com manders; that it has been deferred during the past year, we sincerely be- lieve is justly attributable to the visit of Vincent Colyer. Colyer's untrust- worthiness occasioned the sending of Gen. Howard whose presence again required 8 complete suspension of military movements then begun in the same good earnest, directed by the same wise chief, and certain of early peaceful results.
 But the past is beyond remedy, and mere allusions to guide, if possible, clear of similar errors, will now suffice. The sorrows of the past are greatly assuaged by the cheerful blows now being struck for peace under the per- sonal direction of Gen. Crook. We acknowledge to personal pride in his successes. We knew he possessed the ability to win as signal victories over the Apaches as he had done over other braver and equally numerous and intelligent Indians. While the Territory was weighed. down with that military failure, Stoneman, THE CITIZEN referred to the value of Gen. Crook and hoped that Gen. Grant, with his accustomed good sense, would assign him to this Department. The interferences with his plans, his orders and purposes. misled many into the belief that he too was a failure or overrated-especially as subduer of Apaches. We never for moment doubted his ability and special fitness for the position, and Gen. Howard has testified thereto. Since he has had few months of uninterrupted sway, without a troop more than has for many years been stationed in Ari- zona, all admit him to be the right | officer in the right place. Given a fair opportunity, he quickly proves his ability and worth. It being our right and inclination to exult over his triumphs, we do it heartily. What ever efforts have been made for his it is certain that Presi- dent Grant has fully sustained him because he knew Gen. Crook to be the most suitable man for this Depart

ARIZONA FINANCES.

ARIZONA FINANCES.
 Arizona Territory starts the new year out of debt with cash on hand o' about $2O,OOO-the exact figures moi being accessible in time for this days paper. Except Colorado, no Territory within our memory, ever made @ bet ter showing, and Colorado had 8 sud- den influx of railways which increased her taxable property very largely within a few years. What per cent um was levied in Colorado when It accumulated a surplus, we are not now advised, but Arizona has paid off some old indebtedness and all current expenses, including extra pay to the members and attaches of the sixth Legislature, and saved the present sur plus of over $2O,OOO at ratable tax of fifty cents upon each $1oo. We doubt if any Territory can make a better showing, and comparatively considered, it is very questionable if any other can begin to equal it.
 Excepting fol, salaries, or in cases made for specific purpose and amount therefor, but one appropriation of two years ago has been exhausted; which statement alone is ample to show how carefully the several officers have managed the public business wherein they possessed discretionary powers. The fund placed at Governor Safford's disposal to aid in the arrest of crimi- nals, is only about one-half expended, showing in one of the many ways how prudently and we'll Arizona has been served by her chief executive. The appropriation of $500 for certain Supreme court expenses, the only one in which the officers e1pending it had discretionary authority, is wholly exhausted, and it is understood that the amount appropriated was really inadequate. Viewed as it may be, the financial condition of Arizona is 8 subject of proper local pride.
 THE proposed Centennial Celebra- tion of our nation is receiving better attention in Congress, as witness the annexed remarks made by the Hon. Leonard Meyers about the 10th of December, 1872: ss- .
 The subject of the Centennial Cele- bration was referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the present Congress, and, as @ member of that committee, I had the honor to repport the bill organizing the Centennial Board of Finance, which became a law. But I think it eminently proper that there should be @ select com- mittee on this matter. Congress can- not take to great an interest in it. It Is subject which for the next four years must attract largely the atten- tion of the American people and of foreign nations. I, therefore, support the proposition that there shall be select committee. I hope the foster ing care of the Government will be given in every proper way and on every appropriate occasion to what must be one of the grandest celebra- tions of modern times.

Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune
WASHINGTON D. c., May 30.-Members
of Congress who attended the st. Louis
Convention, and afterwards visited New
Orleans, are, as far as heard from, irres-
pective of party, strongly of opinion that
the only solution Of the problem presented
In the Louisiana muddle'is to be found in
another election in that State They say
they will vote at the next session for
measure by which this can be accom-
plished Their belief is that. in view of
the very bad condition of affairs in the
State, it would be imprudent to allow a
new election, if it should be ordered, to be
conducted by the State authorities, and
therefore they suggest that a Commission
ought to be selected by Congress to super
wise and conduct the election. Some be-
lieve that the State ought in the mean
time to be placed under military rule
which, it is asserted, would be far better
than the existing misgovernment, Even
some of the most radical members of Con
gress are extremely severe in their denun-
cation and censure of Judge Durrell and
Kellogg, the latter being universally pro-
nounced weak and utterly incapable Of fill
ing the important place he now holds, and
the former, though represented to be an
affable and pleasant man, is said to have
been intoxicated at the time he signed the
decree Of the Court, upon which is based
the support given by the Federal Admins
