ROBERT PosTLE's RANcH.-1his establish ment we have before had occasion to refer to though not particularly It is with pride and pleasure we now give moc full des- cription of this extensive and valuable prop erty. During the past season Mr Postle has cultivated about three hundred acres which have produced large crops of corn, wheat barley, potatoes and a variety of vegetables 1; all of which have matured finely and fully and are now being sold in our market ior satisfactory prices The result, we arc credi- bly, informed, promises a net profit of near twenty thousand dollars, and shows what an industrious and energetic man can do in this country by cultiya,ing the soil upon true principles. The Ranch is located twenty miles north east from Prescott. in a beautiful valley through which branch of the San Francisco river runs, and may well and truly be styled the model farm of Yayapai county.
 THE GRsT MuA-Among thcadditions 10 this valuable ranch is 8 very fine erist mill. of modern construction, run by water power This improvement is very important one, not only to the enterprising proprietor but the surrounding community. But there is another addition soon to be made to the es tablishment of the proprietor, looked upen by certain parties interested as of the utmost importance to the permanent prosperity o 1 the concern.

MISREPRESENTATION.

Twenty Yayapai Indians were butchered in cold blood by party of whites on Will jams Fork a few days since"
 The foregoing item from the California pa- pers is specimen of the absurd reports sent to San Francisco by certain Indian sympathi- sers in this Territory. The story is false, no such butchery having taken place, but it will not bc without it's bad effect in san Francisco It will be read by hundreds who will never see this contradiction, and who will naturally believe that the whites are the aggressors anC responsible for our Indian difficulties.

A Cavalry Firht-

At the battle Of rrauienan. he Prn ssians hsd
slowly pushed the Austrians out OF the town
INTO the open eeuntry beyond. The Prussians
pursued and followed step by step their slo WY
Yesrea ting enemies. Beyond the town one OF
ArstIia's most celebrated cavalry regiments,
the Wiudischgratz Dragons, stood waiting TO
sweep the Prussian battalions from the open
houses. These dragons have long held high
reputation, and for q record Of brave deeds
done by the regiment alone in the Austrian
Amy wear no mustache. The Prussian in
fantry could not advance, and il seemed that
the houses Of Trautenau had been won In
vain. But assistance was al hand. The First
Regiment Of The PrIssian dragons came trc.-
ting along the main street, deployed into Line
almost as they debouched from he town, and
with their horses well IN hand, and their Sworn
points low, bore in a steady center straight
down upen the Austrian cavalry; these did
not wait inactive to receive the attack but
rushed forward to meet their foes; no shots
were exchanged, not a saddle was emptied till
the close. When within a few yards of each
other, both sides raised a cheer, ard welcom-
ing the hug Of battle the two lines rushed upon
each other. Horses pressed against horse,
knee against knee, swords went up quick and
came down heavily on head piece or on
shoulder. points were given and received
blows quickly parried were returned with
lightning speed; here an Austrian was borne to
the CT, und, there a Prussian was sent reelng
ffsm his seat and for few minutes the mass of
ward. But then, as if some mighty shell had
burst among them, the Austrian soldiers few
scattered from the melee, and the Prussians
riding hard AFTER them drove them from the
field, but themselves beng under the fire of
small arms, suffered heavy loss.
