Net Much Of 6 Decline.

Some one has been writing fippantly of late about the decline in New Eng land, especially in agriculture. It is said that there are TO yeomanry now in that part of the country. But, on the other hand, the agricultural fairs, the aggregate value of products, and the value of land do not show much of a decline. The yetmanry nowadays wear store clothes or those made by the fashionable tailor They own trotters and otter thoroughbreads, and, perhaps, co not work as hard as their fathes did Besides, az ricultural machines have been displac- ing the old~fashion.d yeomanry.
 The reaper with his sickle cut less than half an acre of grain in day. But the moving machine cuts from ten to twenty acres The mower with his scythe was abe to get over some thing more than 1n acre . day. But the moving machine cuts ten acres in the same time. Tie labOrer with his fail was able to thr,sh ten shocks" of wheat or rye, or lessthan twenty bushels q day. The fact $ the old fashioned yeoman has been merged iAto the az ricultura machine, The yeoman sits iu his noisy chariotind drives his reap CT around his wheas field. He farms a great deal by prov, because that has become a necessity.
 The best agricultural labo-ers have gone farther yves and have bought farms for themselve. But still there is q great deal of agricultural thrift in New England, and in no part of the couRtrv are farmer3in a more comfort able condition that there. But there and in New York, nd iR Ohio, pOpu- lation drifts to the clies. It is SO in all the older communities of the United States. There is help for it. But the country is not eserted. Nor can any theory of declir he safely predi- cated on so narrow basis as the dis appearance of aRp pidashioned yeoman- ", or the drift Of ppulation towards great centers Of tradtand industry-S. F.

THE CAMP APACHE TROUBLE.
An Account by a Participant-Tbe Indian Soldiers at the Bottom of the Trouble.

I The following letter from Camp Apache came just too late for our last issue, and it has been necessarily laid over. It was written by an eye witness ofthe outbreak, and participant in the subsequent fight, and undoubtedly states the case as it was.
 CAMP APACHE, January II, 1876.
 EDITOR CITIZEN: On Sunday, the 9th instant, ihis camp was a scene of the greatest excitement. An Indian named Diablo, late Captain of the Apache soldiers stationed at this Post, but who had recently been discharged the service, has of late been distilling and selling Tis-win to the Indians. About two o'clock P. M. of the above date, Stanley, post guide, reported to Major Ogilby that there WAS disturb ance in the Indian soldiers camp. situated about half a mile from the Post Company D of the Sixth Cavalry, under command of Major Harper, was immediately ordered under arms. In the meantime Major Ogilby, in com pany with Lieutenants Craig and BaJ ley, sth Infantry, proceeded to the h. dian Camp. Upon their arrival Major Ogilby arrested Diablo and turned him over to the other officers, awaitingl the arrival of the soldiers. Thereupon the prisoner gave cry for assistance, when several Indians came to his aId. some aSsaulting Lieutenant Bailey and inficting severe wounds, others chas- ! ing Major Ogilby and Lieutenant Craig through the camp, with loaded rifles. At this critical moment, D company made its appearance, when the Indians opened fire ou the soldiers. This was quickly returned, the company at the same time gallantly charging the h. 1g1ns vith cheers. In this charge two of the Indians were killed and several wounded. The Indians retreated into the brush, carrying their wounded with them and closely pursued by the who routed and drove them into the mountains, where it was deem ed impracticable to follow.
 On the return of the soldiers the caD- tured camp was turned over to Major Harper, until order was restored, as the trouble Sss supposed to be at an cad But it was not yet over. The Indians had circled around and collected at the quarry, about two hundred yards from .he Post, and from this point they now opened tire on the company and laun- iress quarters. Maj. Harper, swinging lis skIrmish line around, attacked the Indians on the flank, and detachments 'f companies A, Sixth Cavalry, and E md K of the Eighth nifty, under com nand ofLieutenant Bailey, advanced, md the Indians were again driven to the It being now dark the rOops were recalled.
 The greatest credit is due to Major Harper and his company for the cool ness and bravery exhibitedcR :he oc- casion.
 Yesterday, the 10th, three of Diablo'S Indians came in and surrendered, and Ire now confined and heavily ironed

ERdian Management

The San Diego Union. of January
 lS, m view of the much talked of but
 wholly improbable transfer of the
 Indian Bureau to the War Depart
 ment, has this to say:
 While The Union earnestly protests
 against the proposed reduction of the
 forcs of the army, it must as earnestly
 protest against any employ ment of
 the army Outside of its legiiimate
 functions. In this light we regard the
 proposition to transfer the manage
 ment of the Indian Reservations from
 the civR se Ihe military service. The
 proper use of the army in daaliug
 with Indian affairs is to punish hostile
 ssvagss and compel them to keep the
 peace. There its function ends. Itl> for the civil administration to take charge of peaceful Indians on Reset>
 vations. It Is noticeable that all thu newspapers Of Arizona oppose the transfer of the Indian Bureau to the War Department; the editors of those journals have long observed the prsc- ticsl operation of civil and military as applied to IrSisns ON Reservations and they kacw whereof they speak. THE CITIZEN, of Tucson, one ot the ablest and most influential papers published on the Pacific Slope, has advanced some strcug arguments on this topic. That journal has pur- sued a course OD the Indian question which entities its opinion to respect; we have watched its conduct in this regard closely fer some years. When war was in progress ng%Tnst the Apsches that paper never wavered in demanding that the disturbing 'pesce shogld stand aside and give the military full and un- ObstrRcted sway Tn following up hos .iie Indians of os Reservations, and t sustained General Crook m everything save management et Indians at peace, in which business hJ lad no special gift. THE CITIZEs ,ourse IS so we'll defined. and It has ,een so sharp in rebuking and break ng down bad civil Indian agents, hat 1t cannot be justly charged with avoritism toward the civil Indian Iervice. Its whole record prove that t IS governed by desire to improve he Indian and military service, and to advance the welfare of the Indian himself.

A National Calamity,

We were very much pained upon
 seeing a statement in an exchange, the
 other day, that Walker, the Vinegar Bitters man, had got into trouble with
 his wife and divorce was in prospect.
 And we think when our readers come
 to look the matter over, they likewise
 will be psined, through pure sympathy
 with and gratitude to Mir. Walker.
 What do we owe to this benefactor of
 the human race? Vinegar Bitters {.
 The very name imparts a pleasurable sensation. We have tasted of all sorts of things in our Rfe, from ipecac to mustang lInament, and while there has
 been d wavering, (call it wcak though you will in our mind, at times, as to whether Vinegar Bltters or the superior grades of eye water were superior in flavor, still our better taste has always, eventually, decided in favor of vinegar bitters. Take away our early cocktail remove the beverage which soothes but doesn't intoxicate, lock up the ginI and tansy, cut off the allowance of sheep wash, but don't meddle with ourI vinegar bitters. And entertaining such an anArpriatinp OF fhis sadnnt;-a ,,o lion, it is but natural that we should bel esined, when trouble befalls its great llscoverer. There was only one thing we ever feared in this beverage, and that was the strong hold it gained on the appetite, leading to danger from over indulgence. We have seen strong men, on their frequent occasions of in diligence in this delightful tipple, 1uiver with regret that they had lived so long before it was invented, or that they could not get all they wanted off It. We sincerely hope, that Mir. Walk CTS earthly afflictions will only stimu late him to make a future grade of vinegar bitters, which, by its divine afflatus, will electrify a cornfeld scare crow, and, by its flavor, become na- tional drink.

began to make trouble. Major Ogilby
 and the other officers tried to quell the
 row, and I ana told, came very near
 getting shot The Apacnes turned
 their guns loose at the Post and the
 soldiers were called out. The battle
 lasted nearly half day. One poor
 Indian was shot through the posterior.
 It seems to me that these Apache sol diers who have been so fpeg hanging
 around this Post, to thef reat injury and demoralization shI'lt De compel led to go to San Ca1of iimatters are allowed to remain sss<hey have, there will be more el serious trouble at this Post. Thtse fnaians should be at their proper reservation, and away from any military camp. Some Indians at Camp Apache and ,,alties of the Maya joes have been fSte'y Killing cattle be. longing to Cooley and others, and un- less this thing is stopped there must sooner or later be trouble. I wonder if the Navajoe authorities are aware of the depredations committed of late by rowing parties of that tribe. Ere. quent and numerous complaints having been made, of Indian depredations in the Little Colorado, it seems to me that it would be good policy to remove some of our militsry force from where it can do but little good, to that valley, where its services would be very ma erial and beneficial.

A CARD.

EDITOR MrSER:-I wish you would be kind enough to allow me to say word with .refernccto the coming election through the Miner, ard that is: fisst, aq .ery aaxiou. to to sec John Howard elected to the Council from Yavapai County.
 Twaa yeass. ago when an attempt was made to disfranchise large number of the citizens of this county by cry of fraud, when hot one iota 'of evidence was ever pro. duced to show that fraud had been com mi1ed, John Howard stepped forward and .yare,ktsa9oes as an Aaor"y to prevent . fla0sa0 odlrsss and for this reason alone would be glad to see him elected. rs-g(F
 In the next place so far as interests of the county are concerned he will not sell out his constituents; and the people of this county want to look everx candidate square in the face and Know to moral certainty that un- .deEpeeizsssastanccs is such candidate for sale. ..ii ... ,.F. j.
 If the ticket gotten up at the msss-meet- ing in tLs ta~a of Prescott he' clo.ele scan ned. the name of one of the chief nfanipC- i.sorsiuscsrrying off the Capitol {" Tucson will be found thereon, and don't see the psrticifiAf reason for sending him there to help fstsh if back.
 therefore hope that my friends will vote for John Howard for the council in solid eohimn.r v j. f,s>f6fs'7a -,t ssae
 
 am very glad that Chief Justice French made .thaidec;Sion he'did, for he will have the. satisfaction of seeing that the vote of the Tefrifory will sustaia his dccisioa and sussaia. the spportioament, and farthernore the people offhe Territory win sustain him.
