The Horse Plague.

The animal malady is still plaguing tho brute creation of this Territory. At and near Fort Whipple, all animals are coughing sneezing and pining away. No, not all. Dr Bendel's fine mules have, SO far, escaped. and the Doctor keeps them going, but takes good care of them. We believe that one animal died at the post few days ago. MT.

Despondent Again.

The horrid news from Wickenburg has saddened the hearts of all. Just as our pco- pie had commenced to believe that, for some tsme at least, the Apaches would cease their ev'i ways; that peace would prevail, and that immigrants would come here and settle. the cup of hope was dashed from our Iips' and the same old feeling of despondency is again upon us, darkening our future, crip- ping our energies and soaring away those who, with their household gods, their prop erty Of every kind, were preparing to come here and help in the work of settling and ci'illzing the Territory. But, with Gen. crook and his gallant soldiers to hunt down the wretches who have made treaties for some temporary advantage, hope is still in the ascendant, and vengeance is sure to over take the red rascsls whose trade is murder. and who find enjoyment in mutilating the corpSes of their victims, after having tortur ed them to death. A just God will not. cannot much longer permit the Apaches to curse this land with their presence.

THE ARMr.-Tbere are very few citizens Of the republic who will not acknowledge that the regular army, as whole, has done good work for the country, on paths of peace as well as of war, and we cannot but de- nouncc the fashion so prevalent in Congress, ot squeezing allowances for the good old in sutution that has done so much to preserve our country intact, to say nothing of the hard work performed by it's members in pro- tectlDg citizens from Indians exploring new sections of country, rivers, &c. Even, at iast session of Congress, the military appro- priation was whittled down, mainly by the votes of men whe, but a short time acn. were quite sugary on the "loyal boys in blue" Now, we have never wasted much sweetness on the institution, but, knowing its great value and services to the country, we despse and denounce lawmakers who. while filling their pockets with national cash, for very doubtful services, never let 2 C.ance slip to curtail the pay e.:.i allowances of officers and men of the army. Here in Arizona, we know that officers have 70 deny themselves many things, on account of inadequate pay enlisted men do not receive as much as they ought to, while officers who have 10 provide animals, supplies etc, arc frequently unable to do so, because " the appropriation has all been used up."

Louisiana Affairs.

We grieve over the misruic of our native State, and hope that peace will soon give her citizens respite from turmoil, of which, God knows, they have had enough. Not long since, the militia and police of New Orleans met in conflict, and many men were killed mostly policemen, who, it appears, were act ing for the carpet-bag "goyernment," which government, We are sorry 10 say, has received the sanction of President Grant, and is now. by his orders, upheld by Federal bayonets, a course we cannot and do not endorse.

It gives an honest man cramp in the stomach to read the nonsensical stuff sent out to the country by the board of Indian commissioners. These kid -gloycd gents met recently, in parlor of the Arlington. at Washington, discussed Indian matters. from their stand point, and made water re- port, m which the country is informed that save slight troubles with the Apaches. the Indian question is now all O. K. Brushing over the Modoc matter, the Apache villainics, the hostile attitude of the Sioux, the Co., manches and other tribes, the commission have tried their best to make the people of the Atlantic States believe that the "peacen policy has accomplished wonders, when. in good truth, their "peace" policy has.cansed the outbreak of the Modocs and other tribes and when they know full we'll that the credit of pacficaton of all Indians is due to the war policy and acts of armed soldiers and citizens, and that they, themselves, have not the courage 10 go among hostile Indians, save when accompanied by protecting arms m the hands of soldiers.
 Our idea is now, as it always has been that these "peace" fellows ought to give way, and let the military have all the say in dealing with Indians, particularly such Indi. ans as are in the least disposed to be ugly.
