SALT LAKE CITY, August 11.-Near- ly all the women and children living in Corinne were sent out of the place late last night, in anticipation of an at tack by the Indians. sOne company of
 troops left here this morning for Cor inne.
 The Church newspapers tonight, in referring to matters, say: Reports of hostile Indians are only circulated to create feeling against the Mormons.
 Maj. Bryant, commandant at Camp Douglas, who has been at COrinne all day, considers the situation so threat ening as to justify him in ordering two more companies of troops sent there, which will leave here tomorrow morn ing.
 PHILADELPHIA, PA, August 12- President ScOtt's report on the condi- ton of the Texas and Pacific railroad, says the road now in operation in Texas is paying well and business daily in creasing, and the net earnings last year were largely in excess of the previous year.
 FRANKFORT, PA, August "A ter rife explosion occurred today at Boysdburg arsenal, caused by breaking up of condensed metallic ammunition. One person was killed and about twenty-twO injured, some of whom can not survive.
 WASHINGTON, August 7.-An expert mental railroad mail train, is to be put on between New York and Chicago to| run forty miles an hour, and will not carry passengers or freight.
 WASHINGTON, August 1.-The Post master General has arranged with agents of the Occidental and Oriental Steamship Company, for the transpor- tations of the United States mails bvI their steamers plying between SanI Francisco, Japan and China, at sea postage rates on mail conveyed, as full compensation for the service. It is un- derstood the company will dispatch steamers monthly hereafter, sailingI from San Francisco on or about 18th of each month. The sea postage rates will not amount to over $500 per month, and it is thought they will reach onlyl about $5000 per annum, against $500,- 900 per annum which Congress agreed to pay the Pacific Mail Steamship for the same class and amount of service
 NEW YORK, August 1O.-To-day a large number of the friends and asso- ciates of the late Geo. H. Mumford, of the Western Union Telegraph Company, met and passed of respect to his memory.

Local Mining Affairs.

Another article tells about all that is to be said about the Santa Rita placers. Speedy's express came in on Thursday with five passengers and $1600 worth of gold dust.
 News from the Ostrich mill and mine is very good Thomas Ewing and James H. Toole were out this week, and say the mill had been run ming very smoothly for several days, daily crushing eighteen tons. It would run on till today when a cleanup will be made, and the prospects are that ex- pectations will be met. Ore is abundant and much of it shows free gold, and from all accounts, it seems almost i'm possible that there should be anything but satisfactory result at the first and all following clean-ups.
 Visitors to the "Old Mine," report their belief that it is the most valua- ole in this county. It was expected that working test would have been made ere this. Workingmen are still taking out the ore.
 MT. Nash visited his mine near San Xavier this week Presume his object was to prepare fer the erection of the reduction works now en route here by teams of l. Goldberg.
 Our Florence dispatch shows that w. B. Hellings has gone to San Francis co with samples of Silver King ore, and generally the interest seems to be kept up in the Pinal mines.
 Fish & Bennett still continue min ing at the Patagonia, and we hear there is a prospect of sale of the Bronkow mine near to or in San Pedro valley.

Ex-President JOhnsOn's Death.

Our dispatch last week, announced this notable death. According to his request his coffin was inscribed, "An- drew Johnson, born 1SOS." The fol- lowing will be of interest in this con- nection:
 NEW YORK, August "A Herald s special from Greenville, Tenn, says that ex-President Johnson, after his arrival at his daughters residence, was seized with convulsions, which resulted in @ paralytic stroke of his left side. The stroke stopped his speech, but did not totally disable him from converslng. It was thought at first that a stroke of apoplexy would follow, but it turned out to be heart disease, which he had been troubled with lately. It showed its work from seven o'clock Friday night to the hour of his death. He was un- conscious during Friday. He con- versed freely on different subjects es- pecially OF the state of affairs. His mind did not wander much, but he seemed to suffer terribly as he strug- gled with the disease that had strick- en him down. During the past few weeks he had been in good spirits but feeling very weak. He seemed to lack vital energy. He left his family in good circumstances, although his fortune was moderate, but it was the savings of lifetime, and is ample for their wants.

FLORENCE, August 10.-Messrs. Ker- ems & Mitchell passed westward this morning enroute to San Diego. We were shown a telegram by them this morning, also letter, stating that five horses had perished during the past week by the overlooking of mail, con- sisting chiefly of merchandise.
 MT. W. B. Hellings left by this morn ing's stage for San Francisco to nego- tiate the sale of Silver King mine. He takes with him two hundred pounds of ore, showing every character of min eral in the anime.
 MARICoPA WELLS, August 11.-Re- ports from the Quacharty mine say there has not been sufficient rain there this season to keep them in water, and the miners have been compelled to haul from a distance Work is pro gressing slowly on this account but with splendid results.
 FLORENCE, August 13.-Three ad- ditional discoveries were made in the Pinal mining District since last report, and are named "No Mistake" "Spot- ted Tail" and Redeemer Ledges.' 3 It is difficult to tell which of them ex- cels in quality or quantity, as they are all well defined silver lodges assaying into thousands and of about equal sur face width, traceable in length 1000 feet
 The Athens still continues to yield the silver nuggets; 150 pounds were picked up yesterday-the largest one weighing sixteen pounds. The drift in the Silver King continues with surprising results. Men are engaged sinking shafts on the Josephine and Pike mines, which seem to have an in eXhaustible supply of metal

As will be seen by our advices from Sonora, and we regard the same re- liable, the Apache plague is subsid- ing. Our correspondent gives almost unanswerable reasons for his asser- tion in this regard. If it be true, as lately published by The Sentinel, ct Yu1:9, that Manuel Martinez and his fatl r. n-law were both shot and kill led near Magdalena, while disguised by the paint and dress of Apaches, and they were believed to have been Apaches, then we have another evi- denco of who commits outrages in Sonora for which the Chiricahua Ind ians are charged.

THE ABILES' CASE AGAIN.

It was our purpose to have made no further remarks on this case. The subject of them has been dealt with aC- cording to law. It is always sad to have anybody hung, but when any body is hung, we decidedly prefer to have it done according to law. But The Miner of last week, questions the propriety and by inference the right of THE CITIZEN to comment on the case. That paper carries the idea the case was one for Prescott to manage, and so it was, at least for Yavapai county, up to a certain point. That county decid- ed Abiles guilty of murder in the first degree, although the case was entitled l" the Territory of Arizona vs. Manuel "Abiles." Does the very sharp editor of The Miner now perceive what kind of a case it was?. Did not the whole Territory have an interest in the ques- tion of whether or not the people of the Territory should keep at their ex- pense, a murderer for life? especially after jury of twelve men if not Prescott men, men of Yavapai county dad patiently heard the evidence for and against him, and then found him guilty. The case was one in which every person in Arizona was interested, or ought to be, and have alright to prop erly express opinions about THE CITIZEN does not pretend to confne its discussions or remarks to subjects of one county or town alone, but to all that affect the Territory atlarge.
 The Miner must have almost know ingly misrepresented our position, wherein it speaks of our censure and opposition to the right of petition. We spoke of the high character of the pc titioners, and said distinctly that they were men who surely have no wish to encourage crime or disorder in community" Not word was utter ed against their doing what they did The policy of having law for mur- der only partially executed, was dis cussed; also of expensive trials and convictions, without executions, etc.
 Then again: The ene-man power has been bitterly condemned by men who approve it when they happen to seek it, and when in all other cases condemn it. The executive is sworn to execute the law, not defeat its exc ,cution; and when a jury finds aman guilty of murder in the first degree, and the presiding judge sentences him to death, there would be a perversion of law should the Governor commute the sentence to one of less severity, unless a state of facts is shown which was utterly wanting in the Abiles' case.
 Thc petitioners did what they had a perfect right tU 5fo, and we said so; the case was The Territory of Arizona vs. Manuel Abiles," and hence our right as much as that of the petitioners, to have say about it. Their rights were not superior to ours; yet The Miner censures us and we did not censureI them in the matter Probably this will not please The Miner. And sup pose it does not?
Arizona citizen., 1875-08-14

CHIEF JUSTICE DUNES organ, The Miner, seems to approve THE CITIZENS refusal to publish his communications His last letter is noted for brevity, the anger and uncomfortable position of the writer. We have taken no unreas- enable advantage of the Judge, and will not, and he knows we will not, but he must say something to make a sort of showing that he still lives, although unhappy.
