GENERAL:- An anonymous communication to
the secretary Of war, dated Louisville, KY, De
cenber 10. 1876. reached my headquarters ON the
9th Of that month from the office of the adju-
tant general of the army. Ii represents that in
case of "A contemplated rising Of the people to en-
force the Inauguration Of Tilden and Hendricks
the depot at Jacksonville Is to he seized and Il Is
expected to arm and clothc the Indiana army Of
democrats. The endorsement on this comInunca-
ton made at your headquarters dated December
"a 1876 is rs follows Official copy respectfully
referred to Maior-General W. > Hancock, com
manding division of the Atlantic, who may draw "a
company from General Kruger, commanding the
department Of the south and post it at the Jefier
s0nyiIlc depot with orders to protect it against
any danger. The terms If the endorsement imply
the exercise Of discretion my part. which
leads me to write you before taking action. In
my Judgment there IL no danger. of the kind
the ANONYMOUS communication sets forth
al the Jacksonville depot, ia justify the move
ment of troops to that place. Such a movement
il seems to nc would involve unnecessary eX-
pense and would create or increase the apprehen-
sion for which there il no real foundation. There
are no arms or ammunition in Jacksonville de
pot and if such force i, referred to, could he
raised for rebelli0us purposes, II IL not likely
that it would begin by Selling depot Of
army uniforms And therefore if these are
grounds for the action of the government
] see no danger in delay that will result from this
presentation Of the subject 10 you. If, however,
in yorr b, tier Judgment company should be

your views ~ crieaso upon subjects Of such vial
Importance. Our standard opinions mostly
formed ON the practice of predecessors but
great change was made after the close Of the
siyil war BY the amendments of the constitution
giving to the freed slaves certain civil and poit-
ical rights and empowering congress to make the
laws necessary to enforce these rights. This
power is new and absolute and con
gress has enacted laws with which We
are not vet familiar and accustomed

dislike to have our army used IN these evil con
ficts but the president has the lawful right to use
the army and navy, and has exercised the right a.
he believes lawfully and rghtfully, and our duty
has been and is to sustain him with zeal and sin
certy. As to the presidential election we are IN
no manner required to take the least action. but
to recognize him as president, when the lawfully
appointed officers declare him to be such person.
hope and pray that congress Will agree ON some
method before the day and hour arrive but III
case of failure to elect. by or before the 18th OF
March there will be a vacancy IN both offices Of
president and vice president, in which event the
president of the senate becomes president pro tenn.

Our farmers should not be discouraged
over the prospects Of over production OF

possible Even spring wheat is q much more
profitable and easier produced crop than corn.
During the past two weeks We have ex.
amined large number Of wheat fields, and
while the wheat does not look very promis-
ing. it is in good growing condition, and with
sufficient ram in April we will have good
wheat harvest.
Quite number Of our citizens are leaving,
some going farther west while others are re-
turning TO their former places Of abode The
places made vacant will soon be filled with

that they that stay through this season will

saying as high as SO, 900 per ton. These
mines are situated about twenty-five miles
northwest of Fort Stanton. about seventy
five miles west of the Rio Pecos on the big
divide between the Rio Pecos and Rio Grande.
One shaft has been sunk to a depth of 200
feet, yet the ore taken out is as rich at the
bottom a. any found. Placer mining is good,
though only few Mexicans are working al
it and with the crudest kind of implements,
they are making from three to five dollars
per day. There is an abundance of water
and timber and parties with capital could
reap rich harvest either in washing OF
crushing.

1t will be remembered that the Messrs. Hays
Bros. two years since brought into this valley
flock Of fine wool thoroughbred sheep,
which were taken on shares by Mr.. p. Fouts,
Who upon two or three occasions gave his ex-
perience in handling them through these col

proposed to 60 into the business on large

satisfactorily shows the immense profits &C.
cruing from such an investment. Full bloods
are found to be entirely free from all disease
in this valley, and their increase in numbers
and yield Of wool is simply wonderful. He
has interviewed all the prominent sheep grow
ers of the southwest, and all agree as to the
pro6tableness Of such handling. The shares
Of the joint stock company will be placed at
one hundred dollars each, and Mr.. Hays Gays
for . series Of five years forty per centum
per annum is a low figure for the profits. No
taker will be allowed more than few hun
