Military News. -Brvt. Lieut. Col. Reeves' company of infan-.

tnr, commanded by Lieut. Cook, has arrived, and gone into quarters, at Fort Buchanan, in place of Company lot dragoons, which' has departed for Fort Fillmore Lieut. Lord com-. manding. The recruits for Company 0, 1st have arrived at the fort.

First Lieut Randall, of Company, has also arrived. Col. llcevcs atomic assume command of the post. Thcro is-no doubt that a large number of troops have been. ordered, nd are now on their way to-this Territory.

We -have direct rjii'd reliable information from Washington, to lic effect that an extensive campaign will, at an early day, be made against the Apache nation probably as soon as government makes its contemplated changes in the Military Department of New Mexico. We but express the sen- timent of the citizens of this region, when we hope that Lieut. Lord and hia company will aoon be returned to Fort Buchanan. A garri- son of two companies of dragoons and one company of infantry, is little enough to allow this section of country and it is a most cxtraordi jiiary circumstance, that with the prosent con dition ot Indian attains, a single mounted man should be ordered from Fort Buchanan. We that this business may yet receive attention from headquarters.

1oru ruoM Arizona. A Nov York daily journal has the following highly interesting item of "news" from Arizona: "Enormous amounts of silver have been discovered at the mines of the Veiled Meadows, of Arizona. It lies in blocks and paucls, in many instances masses weigh tons, yielding from seventy to ninety per cent of zinc with i copper. Here is another specimen of the ridiculous falsehood! which have been swallowed by Eastern papers, in reference to Arizona. In this the-minos are not only manufactured but also the.

place where they locate them, It is a trifle s'mtrtilar that it did not' occur tQ.he paper which first published the above itein, that "blocks" of sillier "yielding from seventy to ninety per cent of zinc with copper," would be something of a curiosity I Such abominable litrf are only calculated to dupe fooia New Minino Companies. The Sopori Silver Mining Company, of Providence Khodo Island, capital one million dollars, will commence operations shortly, with a strong force. The Arizona Mining Company, of New York, will also commence work very soon. The silver mines of th'iB Torritbry are bogining to attract great attention in the Slates, and various new mining companies arc forming to explore and labor throughout this country. Wells on the Desert.

The Qrerland Mail Company have succeeded in oinking several fine the Colorado desert, in each case "finding a-depth of about fifty feet. -'Efforts are still being prosecuted with the prospect of supplying that desert country with water.

It is to be regretted thrtt the absence of any regular mail rout maintained by government, will somewhat diminish the receipts of the oilice Mil Frost. We fear that the recent severe frosts have put a quietus on the fruit prospects for this season. For three days past the weather has been very cold and windy. The fruit blossoms have all been cut off once this season, and a second clipping is more than they can stand; EDWARD E. DUNBAR, No.

Edward E.

Duxn.ut, for many years a resi- dent of this territory, has established a Commission House in New York and Guaymas. He offers his services as agont, to purchase and forward supplies, and machinery to mining companies. His long roaidenco here, and thor-- ougli acquaintance with the wants of tho people, is ample guarantee of his competency for tho business. As soon as the port of Guaymas is opened to us, all the supplies for this territory will be received from there. No Mail Route.

The failure of Congress to pasi the Post Office appropriation bill, will prevent the establishment of any now mail routes, until another session of Congress, and very seriouly embarrass the routeB now in operation, aa they can draw no pay, until the money is regularly appropriated. The non cstab- lishment of a mail route from Tucson to Fort "'Buchanan, will be a disappointment to our people which cannot be appreciated in the States. We can only hope for something better in the future. A Good Democrat. Senator Toombs is responsible for the defeat of the Po3t Office Ap-propriation Bill, as ho insisted on speaking agaist time in tho Senate, for the purpose of defeating tho bill.

Senator Fessenden urged him to give way nnd lot the Senate pass tho bill, but he refused. Of course Senator Toombs will be considered just as good a democrat as over. Table of Distances.
