OUR TREATMENT
while in Tunica county was not such as
we had a right to expect. With two or
three exceptions the white men treated
us as intruders, and few so expressed
themselves, and wished we had stayed at
home. This can easily be accounted
for, as most Of the white men in Austin
are Radicals, and are aspirants for Office,
and as the negroes elect the officers of
the county, they do not want to endsn-
ger their chances for office by doing any
thing against the black sovereigns.
Colonel Morgan, ia company with
some thirty others from Mississippi,
proceeded to Helena on the White,
and on their arrival stacked their
guns on the whsriboat, keeping their
side arms with them. Their presence
was soon made known to the negroes of
Helena, who assembled at the wharf
boat in great numbers, breathing threats
against the invaders. 1t was with diff
Guilty that they were restrained by the
sheriff, assisted by the mayor and police
of Helena, and we're only pacifed upon
the surrender of all the arms belonging
to the party and their Withdrawal from
the town. They proceeded to the mouth
of the st. Francis, when they were taken
on board by the St. Genevieve and
brought to Memphis.
About fifty Mississippiars remained
with the expedition, and expressed them
selves pleased with the prompt response
of Tennessee to their appeal for aid.
Among our citizens who were with the
expedition, the opinion was pretty gen.
eral that Mississippi had cried wolf
too soon.
The trouble in Austin was greatly ex-
aggerated. From reliable authority it
was learned that not single white man
was even shot, and but one negro killed.
The fight between the whites aud blacks
was fought near o. X on Tuesday, and
the whites engaged were not citizens Of
Austin, but men from the interior. They
found out, as we did, that they were not
wanted, and abandoned the place on
Tuesday evening, after having another
skirmish with the negroes in the town.

THAT DEPOSITORY.

It isn't long since almost all citizens of Northern Arizona were yodfcrous in their appeals for |. :. Depository at Prescott. This was at 6 time when contractors and other people here had to take checks on the Depository st Tucson, or nothing. They could not got currency for these checks here; nor could they pay debts in San Francisco with them, without having them shaved. Now there is (said to bel chance for de- postory here, that is, provided a citizen who can give Sl00O0O bonds will step forward and attend to the duties of the office for nothing, thing not many citizens who can give the bond care to do. Again, the chief quartermaster general of the army has com msnced again, to deposit funds for army ex- penses in Northern Arizona with the U. $. assistant treasurer at San Francisco, move that suits business men here very well, some of whom now think that, with |. s. De- pository here, they would not be able Co get quartermaster's checks on San Francisco, and would have to pay something to get ex- change for Depository greenbacks in San Francisco. There is, really, something in this view of the case, but could not mer- chants and other business men suffer little hardship and inconvenience in matter of this kind, which would not fail to make currency more plentiful among farmers, tradesmen and working men generally. We think they ought to, and being granger or, at least, in sympathy with grangers, we must go in for depOsitory,-as it would work greater good for a greater number than quartermaster's cheeks. If no Republican merchant, trader or citizen, of any trade or profession will take charge of Depository, should one be given us,--Col. c. F. Head will give the bond and take charge of the money, although it is a very small move on the part of the Government, and cheeky withal, to request a citizen to do so much for nothing

TIE SIOUX CAMPAIGN. The Denver Tri- bune sent special correspondent to accom- pany the army of invasion into the Sioux country Gen. Ord, the commander, would mt let this special go. The Cheyenne Leader was equally ambitious and prepared to re- ceive and publish the news. Both were dis appointed by an order from the General, for bidding the sending of any military news over the wires. Here was poser. The Tribune threatened the General with an over hauling from Washington, and the Leader called him a military dictator. Hope he'll succeed in dictating to the Sioux. Now, as to this whole business, we, who ought to know the "ropes" of a campaign against hostile Indians, are of opinion that all move ments against them should be made with as much secrecy as possible, since they are so cute at guessing the intentions of an enemy and so handy at telegraphing, by smokes, learning news through half breeds and other friends, and the correspondent or correspon- dents who cannot be entrusted with secrets that ought not to go abroad should not, by any means, be permitted to accompany any military expedition.

INDIAYS--.XLLIT1RF---K NEWS
 The news, as given us by Mr Hardy, is about as follows:
 Lieut. Thomas and command had arrived at Camp BeaIe Springs and were preparing to start for Fort Whipple. The command consisting of white and Indian soldiers-had A very hard scout, For nearly i5 days, their course led them through very deep snow The Indians of the command captured some ponies belonging to the Hualpais, and, at Beale Springs the Huslpais gazed, ferocious- ly, at said Indians.
 The mining news is what we term "good." Col D. Buell. was examining mines in dis tricts south of the road, and Mr Hardy thinks he means business. A company op- erating near Hualpai mountain expects to have a mill, in short time. The Key stone company, of Mineral Park, were taking out abundance of rich ore.

LAST EvESING's CoNcERT.-This affair came off according to program, at cavalry quarters, Fort Whpple. The large room was ornamented with American flags. Fully POO people were in attendance, and we have yet to hear the first word of adverse criticism against the music-vocsl and instrumental or any of the arrangements. Indeed, mu- sical critic who sat by us, gave hearty praise to Mrs. Capt. Burns, for the manner in which she acquitted herself of her singing task. Of course, in such room, which is wholly devoid of good acoustic qualities, one could not expect to hear |" first-class singing, yet, despite every drawback, Mrs. B. did sing sweetly, selections well suited to the occa- sion.
 Of the pieces rendered by the Band of the 23d Infantry, the Santa Anna Quickstep Dream on the Ocean, Prison Song. from Tro vatore and one or two factors of the Med ley appeared to please good critics best and bring forth the most applause. Beside the music, there were such refreshing luxu. ries ns ice cream and cake of various kinds
