RELUCTANT CORCLUs1ON.-Slowly.
but reluctantly, our reliance in the
present population of Louisiana foI
securing permanent property to the
State, is giving way to serious doubts
and fears. While all Intelligent men
in the State agree that large in
crease of farmers and manufacturers
is needed to secure prosperity, how
much time, money and brain work
have our people employed since our
new State Government has had full
sway, to accomplish the desired ob-
jcct We are still waiting for some
thing to turn up. We are never pre-
pared to begin a good work. To-
morrow is the appointed time, and to-
morrow never comes. 1t is twelve
years since the war closed. Are we
any more inclined to work for the
State now than in 1865 ? We think
not. There is less of public spirit
now in Louisiana than there was
twelve years ago. If q live move
ment is made now a thousand tongues
remind us of past defeats as proof
that this, too, will be failure.
The working friends of the State
arc fast sinking under accumulated
discouragemcnts. The wealthy con-
tribute but little money, and the
most public spirited have no money
to give, to help forward a good cause
Still there may be a change for the
better. Our people may become
alarmed at this deatl, like apathy
and this torpor may not be the sleel
of death. But some of orr people
will never rally until the last trum.
pet sounds. AS was once said Of suc|
men by a celebrated orator, "they
have naught of life but the power t'
suffer, and have all of death but the
silence of the grave.--N. 0. Picayune

SPECIAL TO THE MINER.

Tucson, Jan. lG-'rhc Citi-sa says: "Thc following from correspondent at Camp Bowie present., fuller detail, than we have heretofore had of Lieut.. Fucker, late h. dian fight:
 Lieut. I. X. Fucker, Sixth Cavalry and command arrived in camp nn the l2th, and report having killed ten Indians instead of eight as previously reported. The Licutcn- ant also captured one little Indian boy to- gcthcr with 4G head of horses and mules besides a quantity of merchandise, such as fancy scarfs handkerchief~, prints, etc, they also captured between two and three thous- and dollars in Mexican silver coin. This is really the only successful piece of Indian fighting since Gen Crook left the Territory. At the same time the killing of 10 Indians on the Chiracahua when we have been repeatedly assured by the highest authority, that there were only three Indians out is a little aston i,hing From the description given of the dead Indians and iron, facts gained from the captive hoy, it is supposed that the band cleaned out was GeronimoS, the worst in the Territory

How these con yerts were made, is so i4r a matter ot lndiN ference to the 0ppo,ers of the bill It is said. tonight, that two, and maybe three of the Yavapai delegation will vote for the bil! ss amended, but do not believe the statement for one am opposed to the passage of the bill. even with present amend mcntS. which are in substance:

srCCE>>FUL INDIAN FIGHTS.

Referring to our Tucson dispatch Of ye- tcr,lay, which copies an article from the Citizen with reference to Lieutenant Ruck- CT, late fight with the Chiricahua Indians, WIG note an inaccuracy in the matter.
 The statement of the Citizen that '';his k really the only successful piece of Indian fighting since General Crook left the Terri tory" is not true, as every reader of the MINER well knows.
 it will be remembered that Major G. NJ. Bra yton. sth Infantry, had a successful fight in Tunto Basin.
 Major F. D. OgiIby also of the Sth h. fan;ry. haj a hard and successful fight with renegade Apaches near the Little Colorado.
 Captain Charles Porter, another Sth In- fantry officer met and overcome quite large band of Apaches on some creek, the name of which We have forgotten. in or near Tonto Basin. All this occurred within year after General Crook leitthe department, and since that time, say within the past year. the same and other officers have had repeated fights with the renegades and have in every instance been successful, under the direction of General kautz. The object in making this correction is not to detract from General Crooks well earned fame, but to give General kautz credit for what he has done since General Crook departure, which the article in the Citizeh would, by implica- tion, deny him.

 EDITOR MINER Through the columns of your paper, we, the denizens of this des- crt region of Maricopa County, are hearing weekly of the rapid strides of progress that Prescott and Yavspai County are making, and we feel the spirit of emulation in some of your good works. One of your valleys got ahead of uS in the Grange business, but Phoenix registers Grange No. ,, F. of II. The diSpensation has been granted from the National Grange, and the following officers have been elected for 1877:

\ LITTLE OFF.

We arc not inclined to quarrel with our ncighbor of the Yuma Sentinel, in fact we are brim full of sympathy for him in his present dilema on the Capital question; but at the same time his attempt toplacc Prescott on the extreme northern verge of the settled portion of Arizona is putting the case even stronger than the people of Tucson have ever dared to do.
 In this he manifests q stronger degree of partizanship as against Prescott than those directly interested Had he been acting the part of disintercsted locker on, an impar- tial critic. he would not have alluded to the rcmotcncss of the location of Prescott and failed to mention the fact that the distance from Prescott to the gcographi cal center of the Territory, is about the same that il k from Tucson to the line of Mexico, and that a> to the population, lines drawn East and West from the gcographi- cal center, at Cedar Tank on Fossil Creek, in this County, would just about divide the population of the Territory into two equal parts. IL has been a>ccrtaincd by actual survey, that Cedar Tank, near Maple Shades, only few miles from Boegs ranch on the Agua Fria, less than fifty miles, a little south of east from Prescott is the exact geo graphical center.
 Our neighbor of the Sentinel certainly knows the lay fthe country and where the bulk of the population lies, but he has >uf fcrcd himself to write when he was mad. and of course is sorry now that he did not wait until his passion cooled little, when we should, no doubt, have had faircr crit cism of the bill to remove the Capital.
