CAPT. EASTMAN, of the steam-launch Gen. Rosales, and MT. Bateman, of Lerdo Colony, came in on Wednesday night. Mir. B. expressed some apprehension lest the Cocopahs should make some attack on Lerdo in his absence, to take Jerry Shine, who had fled there, having killed Coco pah who was trying to break into his trading store. He was not afraid of any hostile demonstration except during his absence. Capt. E. spoke of passing a large number of Indians below the La- guna. Out of these remarks grew reports that came near causing another Indian scare

CONSIDERABLE amusement was afforded by the precipitate manner in which Gre formers" rushed to Col. E. E. Hewitt to diSavow all feelings of hostility against the Southern Pacific Railroad Company. Col. Hewitt came here on business of his company, but some wag informed the Gre formers that he had come to take hand in the town election. Men who the week before were loud in dcnouncing the "soul- less corporations" and in demanding re- covery of property stolen by them from the people, were the greedlest Ill eating dirty, humble pie, and made the strongest professions of loyalty and goodwill. What is there that a one-horse politician will not do?. Yuma politicians are small potatoes to corporation that deals chiefly with United States Senators and Congress men. Imagine flies a3ologizing to a thick skinned rhinoccros, and offering him their friendship and support!

GEN. STEWART, Engineer Officer sta toned OF the Pacific Coast, went up on the Mohave last Wednesday, to examine the Colorado river, preliminary to the making of surveys and reports of the practicability of improving its navigation. These will be made at lowest stage of the river next Autumn and Winter. Our pc tition to Congress is likely to result in some benefit to Arizona.

DISTANCES between points in Arizona are stated by the country papers just as confidently as are their platitudes about the intense heat out here. The Santa Barbara Press gives the distance from Prescott to Yuma as 400 miles; hence to Los Angeles as 140, and from there to Santa Barbara as no; total, 659 The above figures should be changed to 220, PAS and 110; total, 57S.

A NUMBER oi Yuma Indians were here yesterday, who were eXhorted by two of their chiefs to be on their good behavior.

MT. A. J. Finlay, late agent here of the railroad and steamboat companies, has gone to San Francisco for a months vaca- tion. He will probably return to Arizona, to engage in business. Few men have ever withdrawn from the service of a cor poration with as strong expresslons of esteem and friendship, as he has received from the superintendents of the Southern Pacific R. R. and Colorado Steam Naviga- ton Companies.

THE Salt River Herald has been very much improved in size and appearance. It is astonishing how country papers fat ten up just before a general election; and how new ones spring up, like toadstools on dunghill. N.

Arizona owes a great deal to Gen. Will COX, onr Department Commander, for his prompt action in ordering army supplies to be issued to the San Carlos Apaches, at a time when they would otherwise have been without food, ard tempted to renew hostilitics That act will be entered to his credit and, in itself, will give him hand some balance in his account with the pco. pie of this Territory
