Cause for Rejoicing,

Thanks to Lieutenant R. Carrick and his command of twenty-three brave troopers, consisting of attachments of companies F, F., and K, Sth Cavalry, of Camp. at Toll-gate, we are this week enabled to chronicle the pleasing fact that eight more Indian miscrc- ants have been sent to their long homes, one wounded, and another, woman, taken pris- oner. Tuesday of last week, the Lieutenant and his command, guided by Ed. Peck, one of the coolest, bravest and best scouts that ever followed an Indians trail, left Fort WhippTe and struck east. Next day, August 25th, while the command wss travelling along between the Cienega and the settlements on the Lower Agua Frio, st-aining their eyes for 'sign,n Indians were discovered about mile ahead. A charge was immediately ordered, and the eager little band, led by bold Car rick, k,n dashed forward at q furious rate, over ravines, bushes and mat pice boulders, until coming up with the redskins, when the ball was opened. In this fight, the command killed six Indians, wounded one and took the
 
 the huts of the Indians, the command pressed on, and soon came upon another rancheria, when two more Indians were killed. The wickies of this rancheria were also destroyed Both rancherias contained large stores of pro- visions, war material, clothing, cooking uten- sils, etc. A Spencer rifle, lot of new butcher knives, and an account book belonging to some citizen, were brought in by the troops. Ed Peck thinks the occupants of the first ranch. eria were Apache Mohaves; and that the In- dians found in the last rancheria jumped by the troops were Finals, evidently, portion of the party that has been operating at Wal. nut Grove. Lieutenant Carrick and com. maBd left for Camp Toll gate Thursday last carrying with them the praises of our citi, zens.

All About Flies.

An occasional correspondent of the MINER, who has Hit down at Camp Willow Grove" Mohave county, sends US the following:
 MR. EDITOR are insects. They have wings and fly. They are hardy and don't pay toll. Hardly, as they live here. In Lon. don, they ride in flies, here they ride in us. They are not wholesome food, but they in- sist upon being eaten. They would walk of with cooking stove, if they could, without flying. They prefer being upon the human nose, and are not retarded by blowing,-even the author of Life among the Apachesn could not induce them to leave. They have desire to live in tents. Smoke is their ene- my, but the flies here don't know it, at least don't show it. No amount of force is ade quate to their expulsion from tent or house. Giant powder might fetch them, or "Light- ming whisky.' The latter, possibly, as they cluster about glass with great curiosity. It pitched me, and am bigger than fly. Mos quitoes are angels, and have wings, but so have flies, and think would bet on their out flying them here.
 l can bear when nights sambre pail is spread
 And restless toss my weary head,
 The mosquitoes yell i,--or . bass trombone,
 Or whining cur that barks at the moon,
 But d-aay.
 They love the commissary, and don't ask Tor vouchers. In this respect they are singu- lar, Tn all others plural. They say 1fojare kills flies. Now, Mir. Editor, ain't there some one mean enough to attract them all to those head quarters. FLYBLows.

SUED TOR LIBEL.-No better evidence of the Theft" and prosperity of the Los Angeles (California) Daily News need be asked for than the fact that person named Boyd, has sued that paper for libel, laying his damages at e5,0O0 It appears, from the Ners, that Mir. Boyd went before the County Democratic Convention as candidate for nomination for the Assembly; that he failed to get the nom- ination, became sore-browed, and, with oth- CTS, helped to form an independent" party. Upon this, the Ners indulged in some remarks about him, which he thought were worth $5,00O to it's proprietors and editors, A. J. King and A. N. Ofut We have read those remarks, and think Mir Boyd will survive the injury, if any, they have done him, even should he not succeed in gaining his suit and the money, which we hope he will not. The libel business Is about played"

Mining Matters.

THE SrERLIsG.-Work in this mine is progressing favorably. Three shifts of hands are now employed taking out ore, of which there is an abundance. After thorough test of the new machinery, the mill was shut down, there being no water to run it. It is the intention to keep on taking out ore.
 MOVES & LoUST are now thoroughly satis- fled that they have mastered the Paul d Wood process, and, by it, can work all sorts of rebellious ores, and get whatever money they may contain. Recently, Mir. Moves in- forms us, 500 pounds of Sterling tailings were operated upon by him, and he succeeded in getting out of them an ounce and half Of gold. Before manipulating them, it was thought that not over ten dollars would be obtained, as the rock of which they were the debris had been worked quite carefully in an arastra. Should success continue to attend their efforts A larger amalgamating barrel, settler, etc, will be procured. The next test will be made on raw ore.
 Coop SIZED PIEcEs.-Sunday last, Tom Whitehead, youthful miner of Upper Has sayamps, showed us three pieces of gold, which he had, a day or two previous, taken out of his placer claim on the Hassayampa, short distance below the Chase mill. Said pieces weighed, respectively, SIS so, q co and s4 m. !'s ooss.,.sa the.. sii in one day, with rocker, and, of course, several dollars worth of fine gold Owing to the scarcity of water, but little mining is being done on the creek, but that little, it appears, pays well. Two men at work on a bar near Toms claim, are making from S co to S6 % per day. Tom informed us that he showed some immigrants who went out there recently, q bar in which a common miner could make five dollars day, but they did not like the lay and left They knew nothing at all about mining. Perhaps, by this time, they are swearing at the country, for of such is the kingdom Of greenhorns.
 VULTuRE.-Francis Hinton, formerly of Hooper, Hinton & O., merchants of Arizona City, has become possessed of 1, 100 feet on the Vulture lode also, of the wickenburg,' ten stamp mill. At latest dates from Wick enburg, the ore was paying we'll.

MEXICO, according to the census just taken, has population of 9,ooo,ooo souls, sgains, s,2s3,0sS in 1881. According to the census of 1861, the population of pure European blood amounted to l,656,620 souls; natives, 2,20s, ,S24; and mixed blood, 4,4l7,644. The annual rate of increase at that date was cal. culated to be l44,O00 per annum, but the civil war between the lmperialists and the Republicans has reduced this rate, or the population would by this time have amounted to 9.500,0O0.

UNDER the title of ITO your tents, O., Israel" Wendell Phillips has an article in n recent number of the National Anti-S1arery Standard, tho center paragraph of which reads as follows: "What have we for Pres- denti A jockey and seaside iounger; a restless boy, needing constantly to be amused {; and so impatient of business that he cannot stay at his post more than . week at time Five months in office, has not yet given us an administration.

The Kansas Pacific; or, 35th Parallel
 Railroad.

Of late, but little has been said regarding upon this portion of the route, have at times, felt very Respondent about it. Indeed, some of our people have about abandoned all hope of ever seeing work commence upon 1t in this completion remains unshaken. It's projectors know the great richness of the country through which it vii! pass; the people of the Eastern, Middle, Western, and we believe, the Southern States, want to see it built; the press is cIamorous for It's construction, and many rich persons and corporations stand ready to help extend it. Congress alone baulks, but that it will much longer remain callous to the voice of the people upon so inn portant and vital matter. we do not believe. With railroad through Southern Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona and Southern California, these countries would soon be filled up with people; their rich mines would be worked {; their forests would contribute to the wealth of the nation; the Indians that now prevent us from going ahead would be subdued, and a new era of prosperity would follow. Let every good citizen then do what he can to in- duce Congress to give honest aid and coun- tenance .o the great enterprise. Winter is now approaching, and, in the language of the New York Tribune, the people of the Atlantic slope "have great doubts whether the only road now completed will be able to keep open a fhrnuoh ar.sI h., srto and ice of the Sierra Nevadas.n Past expe- rience has demonstrated that it is impossible to do so; then, why not at once complete the Kansas Pacific, over route that is acknowl- edged by all to be the shortest, best, and freest from snow of any practicable route be- tween the Atlantic and Pacitic7 A route that courses through the centre of the coun try east of the Rocky mountains, touche, Mexico at its richest point, and then traverse. country on the Pacific slope, which. in tn, language of President Grant, contains tho nations ''strong- -box,"-a box containing biii ions of dollars in gold, silver and copper, ant which must be opened. We are now engaged in the work of opening it, but with the limited means at our command, the high cost 0 transportation, and, worse than all-the Indi an incnbus-the work will necessarily bs slow, unless the railrosd-the key that is tc unlock it, is speedily built.
 Lest some of our readers should pass judg ment upon the foregoing remarks as entirely visionary, we will state that the Railroac Company is now acting with renewed energy building and locating track from Sheridan west. We tell them that the road is coming slowly, to us, and none need fear but that i will soon be here, subsidy or DO subsidy.

fAvoRs REPuDIArIoS.-It is said that ex- President Johnson, in a speech made at BiountsVille, Tennessee, a short time ago, came out squarely and unequivocally for TO- pudiatlon of the national debt. The bond hoiders' he said, have already received the amount of their indebtedness. Should the ex'President work his way into the U. s. Sen ate repudiatlon will, no doubt, receive atten- tion at his hands.
