TOMBSTONE, Sept. 9th.-The fol-
lowing telegram was received here
to-day by Acting Governor Gospef:
WILCOX, Sept. 8th.-Application
has been made by me for arms to
be sent from Bepicia arsenal at
once to Forts Lowell, Bowie, Grant,
Mcdowell and Wilcox station for
sale to settlers. The war has so
far been confined to the smallest
possible limits, but 1 hope advant-
age will be taken of this emergen-
cy by the civil authorities to place
the Territory in state of self de-
fense, and l advise the OrganiZa-
tion of minute men and militia
companies everywhere, so that
they may be called out whenever
needed. The arms question is not
in my hands. and for the few at the
posts the officers are pecuniarily
| responsible, and most of the officers
are now absent in the field. The
Secretary of War and the Ordi-
nance Department control thous-
ands of arms, and millions of cart
ridges are lying idle in arsenaIs,
obtainable, however, only under
the laws of Congress.
(5igned,) o. b. WILCOX,
Brevet Mej, Gen'l, Commading.
Acting Governor Gosper concurs
with Gen. Wilcox ia this matter
and recommends quiet organiza-
tion at exposed points to cooperate
with the military. The Governor
is doing all in his power to obtain
arms and ammunition to put the
Territory in a state of defence. He
goes Immediately to Gen. Willcox's
headquarters to consult with him
on the state of affairs.
Gov. Gosper received the follow.
ing from ]. E. Anderson, of Pres
colt, to-day:
