(From Mbixljiy' Dally.)
From Moiiavk Cou.srr Hoammw, Ac
Mr Frank Drake, who left CatnpMoliaTOftCT
eral days ago, in charge of a Gorcmment
freight train, bound to old Camp Hualpui,
for lumber, arrived hero Saterday aftenioon
last Tor the purpose of procuring rations fot
tho men of his train, and, before going down
to Fort Whipple, informed us that a Mr
.Scott, of Hinlpai Mountains, was missing,
and, people supposed, had been murdered by
the Indians. Whim Mr Drake was at tho
Mountains, Mr Scott had been absent two
day. On arriving nt Willow Orore, Mr D.
learned that Mr Thornton of that place had
lost two mules, which he and others thought
had bcenstoleii by the Hualpai Indians, who,
Mr I), thinks are on Diamond river, nego
tiating with rebellious Narajo, Pi-Uto and
Serich Indiana for a general war on tho
whites. These tribes, ho thinks, can muster
000 fighting men.
For several months past, tho Ilualpals have
made it their business to collect arms and
ammunition, and, a short time previous to
leaving their reservation, they paid enormous
prices for powder, lead, etc, facts which have
forced the citizens of Mohave county into
tho belief that an Indian war compared to
which the Modoc affair is as nothing, is nuru
to come.
Tho country in which the Hualpais and
their allies arc jiosted is favorable to their
mode of warfare, it being mainly composed
of rough mountains and "box" canons, a
country in which Indians will be at home in
their glory, safe from molestation by troojis.
But, Mr Drake, who knows nearly nil
alwut "Gen Crook's mode of reducing obstrep
erous red men, believes tbut, if the Hualpais
and their Allies can be whipped at nil, in
such a country, Crook can and will do the
oo.

Major G. Gordon, 5th cavalry, has bcu or
dered by General Crook to proceed to Camp
Grant and assume command of that post.
Maj. Gordon will be at Yuma some time this

Lieut Charles King. 2th cavalry, has been
relieved from duty as A.D. C, Engineer ofli
ccrand Adjutant-General upon thostatfof
Ocneral Emory, commanding the Gulf De

upon his own application been ordered to
join his company, (K,) now stationed at
Camp Verde.
Telegrams received from Camp Howie yes
terday, confirmed tho information of great
destruction occasioned at that tiost by the
recent heary storm. The residences of tho
oiilccrs and the post hospital were badly
damaged. The snow already fallen was over
four inches deep on the parade ground, and
the storm still unabated.
Latest news from Camp Grant reports that
Capt Hamilton's command (Company H, 5th
cavalry,)had arrived at that ikwI, drawn ra

Among recent questions acted upon by tho
Sail Francisco Chamber of Commerce was the
miestion of cheaner freight rates from that
city to Arizona. The action taken consisted
of the appointment of a committee to confer
with the Colorado Steam Navigation Com
pany, which company will, we hope and
think, abolish its measurement rule and, here
after, charge for all freight by the pound.
The Miseii is entitled to a little considera
tion for having first called attention to this
matter.

fications of tlie tut ute. Utile ine wouid-boiuur

instructions minutely, he will fall nine tltnca Iu
ten. however luccrely he may try. Anybody can
kill a man, but he cannot do It Iu tbo flrt degree
murder stylo without counel and care."
