Captain Charles Porter.

The following complimentary notice tc one of the best officers in the service, from the Tucson Star, we copy with pleasure and heartily indorse all that paper says of the gallant officer in question.
 i've learn from Prescott that Capt. Porter on his late scout after renegade Indians in Tonto Basin and Mogpllon mountains. en- countcred very severe snow storm. His pack mules were without food from 36 to 40 hours in five days. Snow fell to the depth of two feet and all suffered from the extreme cold. The Captain was obliged to return to his station, Camp Verde, not, how ever, without making good killing" and some captives among the hostiles. Capt. Porter has done excellent service in this Territory, and none have been more success ful in scouting and punishing renegades. We are pleased to know the CaDtain has been put in command at Camp Verde during the absence of Major Brayton, who acts as Judge Advocate of the Department As the Eighth will probably leave the Territory be- fore many months, 1t is to beregretted we are to lose So untiring and energetic an officer

LETTER FROM JACK McALLIsrER.

EDITOR MINER My attention was called to-day to an article in the Enterprise of the 20th, in which to my surprise, saw my name mentioned in connection with that ot MT. Taylor. wish to say to the public that never had the honor of travelling in com pany with Mir. Taylor, in fact that don't. know MT. Taylor, except by sight never heard of the occurrence. published in the Enterprise until to-day, having been absent from Gillett for tho past three weeks.
 have been told by MT. Powell, a resident of this town, that he and friend were amusing themselves shooting at a mark nca- the Prescott road at the time MT. Taylor and Mir. Caldwell,-[not Jack McAllister, as the Enterprise says, were coming down the road on their way to Gillett, aud that the report which these parties heard was that of Mr. Powell's pistol fired in the opposite direction.
 MT. Taylor must have been excited. and the bullet that came whizzing so close to him must have been imaginary. We all had hearty laugh at the expense of Mir. Taylor. and would have liked to have seen h'm galloping down the road, frightened to death, and thinking himself pursusd by assassins.
 The talk about shooting and killing is all bosh, at least We have heard nothing about it here.

 sill receive honest, fair and courteous treat
 ment during my absence.
 In inviting continuance of the extraord-
 mary patronage which the public have so
 generously extended to my efforts to bring
 all kinds of manufactured goods to reason able prices, so that the new conner might not on his arrival immagine that the war was not just over, and thathe was transported ro sutler's camp of the 1864 pattern, or the
 ~old timer's'' occasional dream of the same situation. I have to say that my stock is large and that arrivals will soon make it complete; and that my best efforts during my absence shall be given to take such advantage of the great competitor which the extreme depression East has caused, to secure ] stock of goods adapted to this market, and
 ugh prices as will never cause sigh of re-
 ret from any one composing the purchasing
 ,nblic at the sudden demise of MT. High Price, which j yfuI event occurred on the 18th of December last.
 The above is merely preliminary to the he sum and substance of this card, which is published by me for the purpose of re- turning my warmest and most sincere thanks | to the public of Prescott, the military com | munity at Fort Whipple and Verde. resi- dents of the Valleys and Mining Camps | around Prescott, and the many from other counties, especially Mohave and Maricopa, Sho have sent to or called al my store to purchase.
