Special Dispatches to the Arizona Miner, By Western Union and U. S.
 Military Lines.

Washington, Jan. l4-General Sherman was before the House military committee yesterday, and earnestly opposed any reduc- tion in military establishment; unless in enci- neer corps. The General pointed to the use lessness of many of the seacoast defence. and said that he could sec no reason or occasion for additional fertilization at San Francisco. The General added emphatically that by the building of railroads, ten thousand or fifteen thousand men could be picked up and thrown from one point to another with great rapidity and with absolute certainty would take away from our country all fear of an invasion by any nation on earth. New York, January 14.-To-night Joseph Freeman shot and killed his mother because she refused to let him have @ 1000.
 General Crook was to-day confirmed as a Brigadier General.

 Washington, Jan. 15.-President Grant has withdrawn the nomination of Caleb Gushing as Chief Justice. The latter denounces as false all reports against his loyalty. lnjns- tlce was done the President by the statement that he threatened to withdraw Cushing's name after hls letter of 1871 was discussed He considered said letter unimportant, but the original document was less offensive than than the Times special charged. It contain ed avowal by Cushing of the opinion that the Government was destroyed.

AURIPERoUs ARIzoSA.-The (Preseott) Arizona Miner Is convinced that the dirt of that Territory IS superior to that Of any other part of the Union for that paper says "The gravel on one thousand hills and mesas in Arizona would pay big, If people had water to wash 1t. There is water away down In rocky basins, which will yet be brought to the surface Tor this purpose, when the annual yield of precious metals of this Territory will beat that of any other geographical division of the Republic. Right here, in Prescott, people are walking over fortunes, as every shovel full of dirt here conans particles of gold"
 If the Miner continues to tempt by its talk in that way, and there be good ground for the talk. Arizona will be likely to soon enjoy a marked in. crease of population.
 So remarks the Salt Lake (Utah) News of recent date, and, as a remark from us is in order, we assure it and all other friends that we have the good ground; :" yes, plenty of it, and are anxious to see people come and rifle it of it's golden particles.

Mohave County Items.

Letters and arrivals from Mohave report business dull, as is usual everywhere at the beginning of the year There is, however, some stir n mining matters. Mir J. Moore has returned to Chloride and started work on several mines. MT R. NJ. Poyson is in Cerbat, looking after the business of the Baker fur mace, which, rumor says, he will soon set at work
 Professor White, late state geologist of Nevada recently visited Wallapai district, and examined the mines of the Wallapai Mining Company, to report thereon. If his report is favorable the company will be able to get funds and put up mill Mcssrs llafiord Birch have recently started yigor- ously at work on mines in Cedar Valley.
 A year ago or more, parties from California and Nevada, purchased a number of the most promising mines in Mohave county, expended money enough to secure their titles, and then ceased work. This action, while it made things lively for while, ultimately had de pressing influence on the mining industries of the country. Most of the parties who sold out received very respectable sums of money, and left the country to see the folks at home. Those who bought the mines, for their own reasons, have taken them out of market and do not work them, so the old discoveries are non- productive. Still there are many good mines being worked, and prospects are looking bet ter than six months ago.
 W. II. Hardy has been over the toll-road from the Colorado to Prescott making some repairs, and reports plenty of rain everywhere, water in all the streams, and the general outlook encouraging.

From Thursdays Daily. 1

At late meeting of the Friends Of Peace in Chicago, one Captain Wilkinson said that "If q sort of Freedman's Bureau could be established among tbe Indians, with such men as General Howard and myself, the whole Indian problem would be solved" We have more faith in the ability of Howard and Wilkinson to relieve the Federal Treasury of its surplus funds than to solve the Indian question. So far as Howard has had any influence in Arizona, he has done more to send Americans and Mexicans to their eternal rest than to settle the Apaches. His administration of the Freedmens Bureau Is as much as this nation can endure with any complacency and there Is no danger that he will be entrusted with another like it, San Francisco Alta California.
 Were Howard and Wilkinson at the head of Indian ahains here, more than one-halfof the civilized people of the Territory would strain every nerve to get out of the Territory on the double quick, as, with unbrided Apa ches, to act the pleasure of these "saintlyn rogues, Arizona would soon be hell upon earth, for all save Indians and Indian ring thives

Letter from Maricopa County.
MANTLE, Arizona,
 January 9th, 1874.

Dear Miner Since writing to you, on the 2d inst, Mr Allen Whtlow and have yisi- ted Florence, and while there saw a good many of your friends, prominent among whom are Joseph Colllngwood and NJ. L. Stiles. The former, or Don Jose, as he is familiarity called, is building an extensive store and warehouse, to receive an immense stock of goods soon to be purchased in San Francisco and other mark cts Joe is one of Arizona's best men, and certainly deserves to be largely patronized. Mir Stiles informs me that there is a good school in Florence. learn from the other parties that a large amount of grain, mostly wheat, is yet to be sown.
 From what could see and hear, l am for ced to conclude that the settlement, in and around Florence, would not be abandoned even though we were to suddenly part com pany with Uncle Sans boys-in-blue and the internal Apaches.
 This reminds me of an article published ir the Daily Miner, of Dec. 3lst, under Re sources of Arizona" which would like tc notice briefly. First, let me endorse, fully every thing that you have said in your refuta tion of the statements made by MT Haines That gentleman has certainly done Arizons and her people gross injustice. He has, nc doubt, forgotten that Arizonans warmly welcomed him in every possible way to facili- tate his labors. He failed to notice that since General Crook has reconstructed the Apaches, our citizens are we'll satisfied with their situations. Perhaps he couldn't see' onr determination to stand by our Territory despite biks, liars, and pious frauds of the Howard and Colyer school. Allow me to make the confession that we, Arizonans. are sorely tormented by misrepresentation. The table-fare of Arizona, with very lew excep tions, will compare favorably with Los An. geles. cannot, therefore, account for ''the mess of dirty beans" unless they were pre-. pared by the gentlemans order. Tastes will differ, you know.
 Captain Price and Hon John Smith, iron Camp Mcdowell, left here yesterday morning for Maricopa Wells The former gentleman will be absent some months. The latter i, out for an airing in order to shake of the ennui which naturally clings to those in q state of single bessedness
 Mir BeDj. Davis and lady, all of this place start to the "Golden State" on Monday.

Southern Arizona.

The Tucson Citizen of Dec. 2 and Jan. II hsvecome to hand, ecntaining these items oi interest:
 A party of gentlemen from Tucson, in April last, relocated an old, abandoned mine known as the Orc Blanco, sixty miles southwest of Tucson. Since then number of other men have gone to work on the mine and twenty-two srrastras are now working ore from the mine, realizing from $60 to $ loo per ton. The mine is located about g. miles north of the Sonora line. Forty men are now there at work.
 Major Randall has the San Carlos Indians quieted and at work on the farms and irri gating ditches of the Reservation. The Ma joris method of dealing with Apaches in the mountains and on the reserves at Camp Apache and San Carlos has demonstrated his fitness for the position he holds.
 Eskiminzin, the old chief who gave so much trouble, and who, after his arrest. es- caped from the dilapidated old guard house at San Carlos, is supposed to have gone on visit to Cachise
 A large emigration from New Mexico to settle in Arizona, on the Gila river, is ex- pected during the spring.

The local of the Santa Barbara Daily Times gives us the particulars of bull and bear fight, which recently came off near that place, and which ended in favor of the bull. Previous to the late war, we looked upon such combats with disfavor, but, since so- called Christians all over the pious East have taken delight in hearing of the slaughter ot noble men, we don't sympathize worth a d-n with the brutes who gored, gouged and bit each other for the amusement of the Santa Barbarians.

Great was the rejoicing of citizens and sol diers yesterday, after learning that the L. s. Senate had confirmed President Grants non,- ination of Lieutenant Colonel Crook as Brig adler General of the U. S. Army Tn town. faces beamed with delight, and many were the toasts drank to the man who has saved Arizona from Apaches and worse white men. At Fort Whipple and Headquarters. tbe de- light Of enlisted men, citizen employees. off cers, their wives and children was great. During the day, the necessary number of guns were fired, with martial precision. and at night, goOdly number of ladies and gen tlemen danced for joy, in which dance, the honored hero took very active part, much to our surprise, as, until then, we had never seen him glide over boards or canvass in A musical way. Mrs General Crook, Mrs Colonel James Nelson, Mrs Captain Burns, Mrs Capt Goodale. her sister, Miss Kelly, Mrs l1eutenants Wieting and Thomas, Mrs Wm NJ, Buffum, and her sister. Miss Evans, of Prescott beside many other lsdies, whose names we cannot now recall, were present, and lent more than one charm to the affair. The officers, Col Rockwell, Medical Director Magruder, Capt Bird, Capt Goodale, Col Evans, Dr Mathews, Lieutenants Ross, Vie tlng and Bourke, were magnificent, some in sparkling uniforms; others in brand new store clothes, as were, also our fellow citi- zens, Col Bigelow and Wm. M. Buffum.
 But, enough of this, we rejoice over this double victory of the reticent Crook, first over the Indians; second over the Indian Ring fellows, who have fought him, step by step, and to whose base appeals Grant and the Senate have turned deaf ear.
