O'lIlC TjATI- Karly this week, wc puhlUhcil the suh staiice of n s pcciul dispatch to the Mt.M'.K from Tucson, snying. that army olllcers lately in commanl of Imlian reservations had tie itiatuicil of the Interior department, a full in ve'tigation of their accounts whilu svting in such capacity, and a comparison of tho cot and rebuilt of their administration, with those obtained under tho 'mure humane' utiil child like nominees of tho various religious bodies in the East. Wc now know that Maj. V. II. llrowi:, 5th cavalry, is one of thu olliccrs referred to and from our personal knowledge of this offi cer, we can assure our readers not only will an investigation exonerates liitn from any sus picion of extravagance or malfeasance, Init, as tho 3ljor generally knows what ho is about, will probably bo tho means of laying before trie public a full exjiose of the deplor able condition of affairs prevailing at the Sun Carlos" reserve during the time It was tinder the control ol the Interior department, the disgraceful antagonism between tho two rival agents both humanitarian. which led to tho death of that fine young officer Almy, and, generally, this investigation can not fad to probe to tlio bottom tho corrupt sot, known ns the Indian ring, at least so far as Arizona is concerned. Mixes and Mi.nimj. The space at our dis posal, this Friday, will not admit of any lengthy remarks on this subject, but we point with satisfaction, to tho accounts, scattered here and there, through the " local," of the success that has so fir attended the efforts of placer and quartz miners, all of whom Lave been making money, by tho slowest, crudest mining modes. It is a fact, that in no other section of country situated as Arizona is, could men work gold and silver rock, in ar rastras as successfully and profitably as our miners have done, arc yet doing, which fact proves that pur mines arc the ricliest ;n tUe world, . -s Be Cuinrfr.. The spring fires have star ted in California. Let us of Arizona look well to our stoves, (Ire places, eta, and avert rnntlagratioiH that would be ruinous to us. These remarks apply to citizens of the tim bered districts, as well as to those residing in wooden towns. Interxai. Ukvh.ncj:. Mr. Thotnas Cordis, collector of Internal revenue, district of Ari zona, has x notice under the head of new ad vertisements, of interest to business men. Another Mini:. Mr. John Smith, of Camp McDowell, Maricopa county, informs us, by letter, that a party of prospectors bad just discovered what they said was a very rich silver mine, thirty miles to the south west of Sacaton station, on tho Gila. He had sent out a practical miner to look at the mine. Tho New York World made a respectable bull, w hen it said that, "with one hand, Gen. Howard would put ono Apache in the font of Christianity, and, with tho other hand, take a dozen out." Tho jwr General has but one hand. Eight hundred wickies, is the number re cently counted by citizens of Florence, who went with Lieut Ward's command, after Apaches. All new wicklcs, at that Gov. Satrord bos favored us with about a dozen copies of his admirable pamphlet on Arizona and its resources. Thanks. Not being able to crowd all the rcadinz matter into the Weekly, we again accompany tho edition with a supplement, containing very good reading matter. We have a ma nia for printing more matter than wc have r-pnee for, which mania is not very profitable fur us, but, we do hope that subscribers will appreciate our enterprise. -4 Wc presume it is all right, that pardoning of Wiley, by the Governor.

"e have just received a letter from Dslc gate McCormick, enclosing a letter to him from tho second assistant postmaster-general, giving reasons of the Department tor not placing scrvico between tho terminus o: tlie California Southern Pacdic rnilroau in Cali fornia and Hardyvillc, in Arizona, which reasons are not, in our poor judgment, just the ones that ought to be put forth by Gov ernment, through an agent or employe, for the sake ol screening itself from public cen sure for not doing IU duty by a portion-nf its citizen. They are tnat ttic country, Tor many miles between tho two placc, is unin habited, and tnat, as most ol said route is. in California, whose representatives have not asked tor the sender, tho Department deems it unnecessary and. on account ot tne saving streak nf Concrcss, cannot afford to go to nny further expense to supply the people ot this Territory with mails. I To this we have to say, for tho pcoplo who wish tho route established, tha the country between the two points is fast filling up with minora, farmers nnd others; that the rquto is needed by the people of San Francisco and "titer large places in California, whoso pcoplo ouj.dit to help ns to get it. Mr ltouglitoD, congressman iromaouuiern California, does not, wo presume, favor tho route, because it does not run through Los Ancelcs and San Bernardino, ell, then, let him cet mall service on somo other route .

O. Department to ad vertise for crvice, which petition will, wc hope, be gotten up. It hasn't been many years since hundreds of miles of tho country on both sides of tho great overland railroad was Innocent of white settlers, yet no such argument was ilc duccd from this fact to keep tho country from building tho road. To-day, hotticments arc to Imj found along tbo entire road, and thrifty ones at that. Tho nearest railroad town to Arizona is the-terminal town of tho California Southern Pacific; and a line of stages from that point to Albuquerque, in New Mexico, wwdd hrltif? nnrcdv safvation to n country which is I now. for lack of such facilities and pioneer aid, u Hcmi-wiiaernerss; we, mcrsiorc, iwpo that .Mr McCormick will mako renewed cf forts for not only tho Hardyvflfo nnd Jlakcrs ficld "favor," but for feemco from Prcseott to Albuquerque.
