 THERE are no mosquitoes round Tucson.
 THE Indians that attacked Kitchens $ ranch, killed six hogs.
 JOSEPH SMITH, of Rolling Prairie, Dodge Co.,, Wis, would be glad to getnews of the whereabouts of his son Walter P. Smith.
 REFS SMITH writes from Tubac that game is plentiful up there, and invites his Tucson friends out to kill some.
 CHAs. T. HAYDEN has received this week, a large stock of new goods of many styles and varieties. He is determined to sell them very cheap, too.
 DOES anybody know the whereabouts of Wm D. Woodroof? If so, his father. John Woodroof, at Alton, III, would be grateful to receive the information.
 SAN DIEGO SoAP-Corder & Co.,, of San Diego, we are credibly informed, make as good soap as any in California, and pit it in the best of boxes. They are desirous of a share of the Arizona trade. See adv't.
 CHANGEs.-The mails for the west leave at P. M every Tuesday, Thursday and Sat urday; arrive Sunday, Wednesday and Fri day mornings. The carrying of the mail via Florence involves these changes.
 LIT. Ross confirms the report that Capt. Moore killed three Indians. Also, that the Captain and It. Bourke are maneuvering night and day trying to catch out band of forty or fifty warriors that seem to stick to the Huachuaca mountains.
 MIR. NEUGAss received a letter from J. B. Hart, dated May %, at Camp Pinal. MT. Hart has been prospecting between there and Camp Apache. His reports are not encouraging. He says the grass ill the Ton to country is fired in many places, and 29 fires were counted at one time.
 CAPT A. H. NICKERsoN, 23d Infantry, has been made Adjutant of the Department of Arizona Notwithstanding our implicit faith in Capt. Nickerson's complete fitness for the place, we regret that Lieut.. E. w. Stone loses the place, and really hope his lines may be cast in pleasant and prom inent places.
 A MAN of splendid judgment speaks of "the stupendous piece of folly being en- acted at Camp Pinal," and that it is due the Government and the people that the true state of affairs be known"
 Will some one. fully posted, please write up the facts in the case and send them to THE CITIZEN?
 CAPT. WHIPPLE, of Go. L, First Cav, is awaiting an escort to enable him to proceed to join his Troop at Camp Apache. He has lately been on duty at Camp Gaston in the north California Coast range. About ten years ago, he did most signal service (as a Colonel of voluntecrs) against the determ- ined red men of the oast range.
 IF It. Whitman should make another peace farce with as many squaws and few bucks as his reports show he has done, and treat his 'prisoners of war' as in the Grant case, we call upon the Magdalen societies to extend their labors to Arizona. These innocent red women should have protec- tion and assistance in such calamities. R. E. Whitman, Camp Grant, might be cores bonded with by the societies referred to.
 LT. Ross, commanding Camp Crittenden, was in town during the week-left again Thursday evening. This active officer has a half company of infantry and not pack animal. Of late years, Crittenden has not been of much use When old Norris (who died in fully as shameful a manner as he ever livcd) commanded at this post with two good companies of cavalry, and cit tizen reported loss by Indians, he'd say it served him right.
 ANOTHER murder by Indians was perpe- trated on the upper Santa Cruz. This time the victim was a young son. about Il years old, of Peter Kitchen. He was shot on the Sth inst. about 200 yards from the residence MT. Kitchen sent in a request for ten sold iers to stay with him until his crops are coupled with the assurance that if this were granted him, he would never again ask military assistance in Arizona. Here is one of the boldest and truest friends
