Battle with Indians on the Plains.

The Omaha Republican learns that on the Ilth instant, General Carr, in command of six companies of regular cavalry, and two companies of Pawnee scouts (under Major Frank North), encountered large body of Indians on the head waters of the Republican river, about forty miles from Valley Station lon the old Denver wagon road), and after a desperate battle, lasting several hours, com pletely routed and defeated them, killing fifty-two outright on the field, recapturing two white women who had been captured some time before on the Saline river in Kan s:s fone of whom the Indians murdered after the battle eommenced), and securing about $50 ponies belonging to the Indians, together xith their entire camp property. A large number of Indian squaws and children also teil into the hands of General Carr's troops.
 General Carr followed the trail of these h. iians for ten days, over the sand-hills of that inhospitable country, and during the last twenty miles the pursuit was made by his troops at full gallop. The Indians engaged hy General Carr were composed of Cheyennes and Dog-soldiers, led by Tall Bull, of the Cheyennes.
 This is the most disastrous defeat which has ever been sustained by the Indians of the Northwest, and cannot fail to have most saiutary effect in restoring peace upon the Plains. It is worth thousand Peace Com missions. Such an argument the Indians car understand and appreciate.

This move will suit the people of the interior. The weather has been very hot at La Paz, the thermometer at times, recently, being as high as III" in the shade.

Southern Pacific Railroad.

The Los Angeles California; Daily Ne1s of July 24th, says: The San Diego Union is somewhat sensitive on the subject of the Southern Pacific Railroad, and wants us to declare which Of the two routes we are in favor of the Thirty-fifth or Thirty-second parallel. Bless your innocent soul, MT Un- ion, we are in favor of both routes. The Thirty-ffth parallel wotd pass through the best country, but the Thirty second would be most useful to San Diego We have every confidence that both roads will be built, in the course of time, although we have not as much confidence as our San Diego friends, that the Thirty second parallel route will be the first completed. The people of this county are not as sensitive upon the subject of railroad location as are those of Sen Diego.
 They favor Southern Pacific Railroad, as sgres. national necessity, and would not op- pose any route that might be selected, no matter whether it passed through San Diego snd the valleys of this county, or not. In this county we need quick transportation for our fruits to the Eastern markets, and if San Diego should be the terminus of a Southern Pacific Railroad, we would be compelled to build road from this city to San Diego, in order to secure the transportation required by our citizens; or if the road should be built upon the Thirty fifth parallel, and pass to the north of the Coast Range, we would at once build road from this city, connecting with the main road at some point near San Der nardino, Cajon Pass or Tehachape Pass. Th' true interest of this county, however, is tha
 VIC shall offer such inducements to the 35tl parallel route, by showing the company wha
 our carrying trade would be worth, as vii induce the managers of that road to enter ou
 valleys at San Gorgonia Pass, according t the route surveyed by General Palmer"

tions:'" Chapter 24, Sec. of said code IS amended so as to provide that the election shall be held on the first Wednesday of June in each year instead of the first Wednesday of September, and section sixty-seven of sald chapter IS amended and provides that the term of all officers elected under the provls- ions of this chapter shall expire on the last day of June instead of November; and the term of all officers elected under such proyls- ions, except Delegate in Congress, shall com mence on the first day of July instead oi December.
 The Statutes of 1867, page 3l, An Act Defining the Qualification of Officers elected at any General Election in the counties of the Territory, and legalizing the acts of the oiii- cers holding over in the counties of favapai, Yuma and Mohave, since the first day of Ju. ly, and until the first day of December" Section 3, of said act, provides "that the term of office of all county officers, hereafter to be elected, for full term, at any general election, shall commence on the first day o. December next after such general elections" It is evidently the intention of the law, s 1t now stands, that the term of all county and precinct officers shall expire on the last day of November after such general election. It | is not in accordance with the policy of onr government that offices shall ever become vacant, and am not clear but that the faii- ure to call an election this year would entitie | the incumbents to hold until their successors are elected and qualified. But to avoid all danger of dispute and conflict, would advise the Boards of County Supervisors of the va rious counties, to fill their board by the sp- pointment, if possible, of the retiring mem Der, and then appoint the present incumbents 1 1T Al off This will make the matter sure. Two of the members of the Board of Supervisors hold over, and quorum is competent to transact business-hence there is TO question with re- gard to their power. If the county and pre- cinct officesrs can hold over until their sue cessors are elected and qualified, then their appointment by the Board can do no harm Upon the other hand, if it should be determ ined that their official career ceases on the last day of November, then the appointment by the Board continues them legally in office

The road is better than the San Diego road. The Gils Mining Company s mill is running. To judge by the rock, I think it pays well .. Hooper, Whiting & Co., have added new buildings and large eel lars to their extensive store and warehouses. -, Dick Bell, reported killed by Cnccpa. some time ago, is said to be alive at White Pine. Large shipments of ore are being made from Hamilton & Butterfeld's mines at Castle Dome. The Gila is very low Mir. Duffield, mail agent, or something of the kind, passed through about ten days ago. Sc did the bride of our little Governor. There is great talk about the San Diego road We tried once to ship goods that way, and could not get teams of any kind at that place to haul a cat. The result was, our goods were detained three months longer than usual, and part of them had to be sent back to Sar Francisco and re-shipped to Port Isabel-Sar Diego has treated us very mesnly. We had S4,0O0 worth of goods damaged there. L.
