FRoN PIMA CouNrY.-We have the ArizondR of the 18th inst, from which we learn that Mir. Page had presented the editor with flew tur- nips." That Page has a mighty clear conception of the Illness of things The vegetable difplay in tbe office of the Arisordr must now be com plete. unless some hungry greaser has cabboged variety of the selection.
 Fifty naked Papagoes had right joval time dancing around pole, the top of which was ornamented with an Apache top-knot.
 On the 18th, Indians, to the number of l50. made an attack upon party of men who were hcrding drove of 200 head of cattle. belonging to A. Lazard (Frenchy), drove off the herders, and captured the stock. Where this occurred, is not stated in the paper, but we think it must have been close to Tncson
 The ArisoHan pays the following well-deseryed tribute to the military commander of the District of Arizona, Gen T. C. Devin:

CANT AccEDE.--We have received from c. E Collins X O., San Francisco letter requesting us to publish, for watch, an advertisement of a thew gold metal watch" said to surpas. any thing yet made in the way of an imitation watch. Now, we are in great need of watch. and would insert the advertisement had Mir. Collins & Co. offered us as pay for so doing. tin watch, a copper watch. or an iron watch, but we object seriously to publishing it for base metal watch, for the reason that we have already in this coun- try too much base metal, and do not wish any more. But. if Mir. Collins & Co. are on the swap will trade them lot of fleet" for lot of their watches, and, in that way, they can have their tiekers introduced in this auriferous region What say you, gems.

THE LAST SPIKE DRIvEN-GRAND TRruNPH OF THE TEtEoRsru.-At fifteen minutes before noon May roth says the San Francisco Bulletin, the interesting ceremony of laying the last tic and rail and driving the last spike of the Pacific Railroad was completed. The Western Union Telegraph Company had effected complete ar engagements for sicnalizing the important event throughout the Union by telegraph, and each blow of the sledgehammer upon the spike was echoed by the click of the telegraph instruments in San Francisco. Sacramento Chicago, New York Washington, Philadelphia. Boston, New Orleans and all other points with which the Western Union Company are in telegraphic com nunication. Our new Governor. A. r. K. Saf- ford, was present at the laying of the last rail and driving of the last spike. We are told that he presented in the name of this Territory, a spike of gold, silver and iron. with an appropri- ate sentiment. The great event was celebrated with the greatest enthusiasm in the principal towns and cities of the Union.

ANOTHER DARING ATTACK BY INDrANs.-Wed- nesday morning May l2, as train of nine wag- ons. belonging to Estevan Ochoa, of Tucson, was going from that place to Camp Grant, with government supplies, it was attacked by about 300 Indians, who fought the teamsters all day, and finally drove them from the wagons, after killing three of them. The Indians burned the wagons and their contents, and drove off the animals. Had 1t not been for the arrival of a Sergeant and six soldiers, in the evening, who charged on the Indians, all the men with the train might have been captured. The teamsters and soldiers fought the redskins until their am intuition was almost expended. when they re- treated Ochoa's men had with them a small cannon. which they occasionally discharged at the savsges. ard which kept them at bay previous to the arrival of the soldiers. We learn these facts from a private letter received at Fort whlpple.

TIE San Bernardino Guardian learns that an- other paper is soon to be started in Los Angeles, California. Now, Los Angeles is a thriving city, but we doubt very much whether It's business men can afford to support another daily, and the projectors of the new enterprise should pom der well the saying that Fools rush in where angels fear to tread" even in the City of the Angels. before launching their craft on the sea of Newspaperdom. The Ne,os, the pioneer daily of that city, fills the entire space so long vacant in Los Angeles, and we have p-emonitlon that a rival will have to survive upon very weak diet
 at least, for some time to come.

THE PLANET COPPER MINING Co.-M. M. Bald win. Vim. Paiten and James McCloskey were st the annual meeting in San Francisco. May 3d chosen Trustees for the ensuing year. !. C. Hutchinson was appointed Secretary and Treas urer. The claim is in Williams Fork District Arizona Territory. Ore assays from 90 to GO per cent.
 We copy the above item from the San Fran cisco Mining aud Scientific Press of the 18th inst and hope that ere long, we will be able to chron- icle the shipment of much Planet ore. The price of copper is going up. and it will, indeed, be strange. if our Williams Fork copper mines do not soon commence taking out ore and shipping 1t to San Francisco.

WAR RUxoRs.-During the past week or two. the people of the old States have been snufiug the political breeze from Europe pretty keenly, believing that England, France and Spain had united or were about to unite against this eoun- try, for the purpose of resisting the claims of our Congress for indemnity for property de- stroyed by the Alrbdmd. as well as for checking certain tendency to illibuster, with which we stand charged The report that such an alliance has been formed or is seriously thought of by the European Powers mentioned Is contradicted, and 1t is reasonable to presume that all excitement in regard to the matter, is by this time, quashed Nevertheless there is cause for believing that the peace now SO happily enjoyed may not last very long That our people have helped, are helping the Cuban rebels, is an admitted fact, and, of course, Spain feels in the mood of trying to stop us from doing SO. England, too, by no means relishes our demands upon her, and her journals say she will not submit to them, yet with her usual caution. she will do so before go- ing to war with nation that has twice driven her to the wall, without she can enter the lists backed by France and Spain. We do think that unless our Government and people really mean to take In Cuba, they had better keep out of the muss.

TIE Miner comes to hand. as usual, with a series of long-winded articles of would-be or prospective rich gold and silver mines with which that section of the Territory is so pecu- liarly abundant. We congratulate the enterpris- ing editor on his extreme imaginative genius and descriptive power. His glowing accounts of mines teeming with wealth. are particularly touching. and we should not be surprised if Uncle Sam, that generous old man. commenced immediately the work of grading on the 35th parallel route, such are the immense advantages to be derived therefrom; but we rather suspect they will be obliged to stick fastn to their old "prarie schooners.n y for at least a month or two longer. That's very smooth talk. brother Miner but we have too many old miners in our town who have been "panned out" in that section. to be caught by that "ohaf" Diego( CdiifornidJ J Union.
 Well, well, Mir, Union, for men who live in village by the sea, with an immense desert in their rear, you talk quite jolly. We more than suspect that the lunatic speculators who feed you on wind pie and sand pudding have been giving you an extra dose. Should you continue to blow as you have heretofore blowed about your great harbor," your soil and climate, you may vel | succeed in inducing large number of Arabs with their camels, to leave their native haunts and come and settle upon your pent-up oasis in the great California Desert. The idea of San Diego miners" having been "panned out' here is really refreshing. as we have never known one of your hide and tallow prospectors in this part of the Territory who did not blunder on a good | thing

BRILLIANT VICTORY OVER APAcHEs.-We are indebted to friend for the following account of the late successful raid upon an Apache ranch eria:
 Breyet Colonel Green, lst United States Cav airy, jumped large rancheria of Pinal, or Coyo- tero Indians. on Mount Trumbul. south of the Gila' killing twenty-five warriors, besides a nun. Der who fell in the thickets and chapparel. and whose bodies were not counted. As the troops succeeded Tn galninga point above the rancheria before daylight, the attack was made down inc mountain, and men and horses were too much exhausted to again climb it's rugged heights in search of dead indians
 Colonel Green speaks highly of the conduct or officers and men, and one of the Apache scouts attached 10 General Devins headquarters.
 Three Indians were killed before the rancheria was discovered, making 25 in all. Nine sauaws and children were captured, and large amount of stores destroyed.

Governor Haight and staff are about to make fools of themselves by going East to escort the great Moloeh of the Radicals, Gen. Grant, from Chicago to San Francisco. While having due respect for Mir Grant as the head O of this great nation, we do not care to see professed Demo crats debase themselves by fawning upon man whose acts and principles they say they despise. Render unto Cesar the things that are Casar's, but don't for Liberty's sake, fall down and wor- ship him. The Constitution forbids the practice of idolatry in this country.

TIE Caddo Gdzette, published at Shreveport, Louisiana says the military have all been with drawn from that place, and while censuring white and black volunteers for insults offered citizens since the surrender, speaks in terms of praise of the conduct of the regulars. It ltcounsels the peo- pie, now that they are from under military rule, to respect the rights of all people-white and black-and show to the world that they are ca pablo of selfgovernment, in spite of all radical innovation. Right, brother Lacy.

THE rates of fare. by Pacific Railroad. are sal

THE rates of fare, by Pacific Railroad, are said to be as follows:
 From Sacramento to New York, sls64O in cur. rency; to Chicago. sl66.40; to Omaha, SlIi4O: and to the end of the Central Pacific line. s67. Children under l2 years half fare 100 pounds of baggage free.
 These rates are somewhat steep, but we have the word of Superintendent Crockett that they as well as the cost Of freghting will soon be re- duced' At the Sacramento banquet he said Dlhat we will put the rates down so as to fill this coun- try full of people. Just as fast as we can get the cars built we will bring them here. and fill your valleys and mountains full of people" At the time he said this, he was addressing Cali fornia crowd, and We suppose he meant the val leys and mountains of that State, yet we of Ari- zona look for our share of the passengers.
