FRUIT SUPPLY. The prophesy Of fruit
growerssshat more abundant supply would
create greater demand, is fully cxemplificd
by the facts. The prodi giously increased crops
of peaches, grapes, &C., in the markets, scarce
ly lessen the price at all, and the demand is
fully equal to- if not ahead ofthe supply; The
question has its sanitary aspect also, as the free
consumption of sound, ripe fruit is favorable to
health in an eminent degree. The growers Of
choice varieties of fruit will always command Il
ready sale at high figures, for Excelsior here,
as in all departments Of art us rare persistent
ly aimed at No one in our section, at least
need be afraid of not finding ready sale for
choice. or even good fruit.

TEXAS PACIFIC.

Every ray of light upon the business of this road, is of much interest to our readers. A member of the company supposed to be authorized to speak truly for it, has just been talking in San Diego. The Bulletin reports him as declaring that iron was already shipped for San Diego, and The Union of August 31, has these paragraphs based upon Senator Harris, remarks |:
 As is we'll known, the Texas Pacific Company have decided upon the three feet gauge for that road and the matter has been laid before the Secretary of the Interior for decision as to whether 8 road of that gauge comes within the definition of [" first-class. His answer will settle the question as to the land grant from the United States
 But law of the State of Texas re- quires all railroads to be constructed in that State upon gauge of six feet width. And another enactment pro- provides that no railroad hereafter built in Texas shall receive any grant of land from the State unless the rails shall weigh tifty-four pounds to the yard. Of course, while these pro- visions are in force, 1t is useless to commence operations on the road.
 The Legislature of Texas meets on Monday next, September 4th, and we are assured by the perusal of letters from prominent citizens of that State, and from others who are very deeply interested in the enterprise, that the Texas Pacific business will be brought up at the very earliest mo- ment possible, and that there is no doubt that at the beginning of the ses- sion these provisions of the State law will be repealed, and that the sales of the Southern Pacific road of Texas, and the Southern TraScontinental road, will be ratified.
 We think there is no probability that the obstacles spoken of will delay the beginning of active operations here more than two months, if so long.

Big Steal at Crittenden.

For some time past, the United States Treasury has been drawn upon by officers in New Mexico and Arizona to ply Indians ito communicate the friendly intentions of the government y towards the savages on the war path, and there is little if any doubt but such communications have been made to the Indians at War, and that, too, at various times during the past two months; but said Indians go right on with their war.
 Last Monday, i'll day light, small army of Apaches dashed in at Critten- den and stole about 75 horses just re- cruited up for active service-we be- heve mostly for Capt. Mcore's Troop. Captain E. Miles, the same evening, sent dispatches here by Privates AL yah P. Whittier, F. Troop, Third Cav airy, and Edward Gibbins, Company E, Twenty-frst Infantry - both of whom the Captain says acted gal lantly in the conflict We are other wise informed that Private Whittier s actions saved the beef herd.
 The details of the attack, we have not been furnished, but incidentally learn that a small detachment of troops were once surrounded by the Indians, yet escaped unhult. From all the circumstances, 1t Is presumed that the attacking band was that of Cachise, as the reports from New Mex ico where the Indian agents have his families, have been to the effect that he was making war in Mexico, and now has returned. If the question of making peace with the Arizona h. dians were left exclusively with Gen eral Crook and the enthusiastic sol diers under him, in less than year we wonld have peace; but as the beg ging and buying peace men are at work, all his persistent and we'll di- rected efforts may come to naught.
Arizona citizen., 1871-09-09

WE learn from our exchanges that 1t is the intention of the Atlantic and Pacific Company to push their road west through the Indian Territory as fast as money can do it ill order to se- ure the cattle business from Texas, which is reported as immense. Of course this will take all that trade from the Kansas Pacific, as drovers will then save a large portion of the distance now travelled, and ship their cattle at much less expense by the Atlantic & Pacific road New Mexi- can, August 21.
