Fourth of July--Bad Action of the Pima Indians and Effective Ac- tion of the Authorities--Abundant Harvest--Weather.
 PHENIx, July 5, lS72. Our farmers were so busy harvest ing that the Fourth passed off rather quietly-perhaps none the less hap oily on that account. The day was ushered in by shooting after midnight, which rather startled some of the in- habitants who thought that the threat ened Mexican raid was an accom- plished fact. This with anvil prac- tice in the morning and a ball in the Court House in the evening, consti- tuted the main features of the celebra- tion. But one solitary flag was flung to the breeze, which waved over Gard ner's Hotel, Q fit emblem of the iso- lated condition of the Americans in the Territory.
 As if to celebrate the Fourth with a vengeance, some Pimas tried to jump the ranch of Starrar Brothers. At one time the contention was rather hot, one party trying to force their horses into the grain, and the other party trying to save their hard earned crop; some we'll directed blows from clubs were given on both sides. Fi- nally, J. Starrsr, not being armed, withdrew from the melee, came to town, borrowed pistol and went for those Indians who, in the meantime, had made for home. Poor Lo had miscalculated his man. The ring leader was captured and quietly lodged in jail and three of the horses were detained without the firing of single shot.
 Harvesting progresses finely and yields abundantly the only draw back has been the lack of sufficient hands to save the grain.
 Building still goes on in town, though somewhat slowly for want of laborers.
 The days are not very hot; the nights are cool and agreeable. BOB. < MAIL contractors will find an ad- vertisement of interest to them in this paper. To the untiring exertions of Hon. R. c. Mccormick, the new route was recently established by law. As all who are we'll posted know, es- tablished routes are often without ser vice for years, but our Delegate stood by after the adjournment of Congress until he got the Post Office Depart ment to take positive steps for service at an early day. -I
 WE hear that the conduct of the h. dians about the Grant Agency is such as to have induced Agent Jacobs to apply to Colonel Royal for 0 commits stoned officer to be present there with @ detachment of men, and that theI application was granted. Es-ke-van- gin is suspicioned of being untrue. A little moro time will develop his true purpose.

After an interval of some years, the Hon.
VIM. H. Robertson again has seat in the
Senate Of the State. Elected in l64S to
the Assembly, at the session of 1S49, he
cast his vote for Gov. Seward, when the
great Statesman was elected TO the United
States Senate for the first time. Upon the
expiration of Senator's Stewards FIRST term,
Mr. Robertson having, in 1858, been elected
TO the State Senate, was again called upon
to vote for Senator in Congress. A very
bitter feeling had been aroused against Gov.
Seward, more particularly in the ranks OF
the american party" and threats Of politl-
cal annihilation were freely uttered against
all who should contribute in any way to-
wards his recollection. Among other
American journals the West Chester
Gazette was couspicuously hostile to Gov
s., and spoke as follows;
1--WE see they have set W. H. Robertson
down as voting for Seward. viii he vote
lor him2 II he does, II will be the last time
he ever votes for U. :. Senator IN thai
Senate"
Well, Senator Robertson did "vote fol
Seward" ,aud strange as it may appear
"slill lives.n Since the publication Of the
above shrstod prophecy, Senator Robertson
has been three times elected 10 the impor-
tant office Of County Judge Of the larg'
county OF Westchester, and once 10 Congress
from the strongly Democratic Tenth DiHtric
and now occupies his old seat Of sixteeI
years ago in tie Senate OF the Stale, sen
there by iull six thousand majority over hi
Democratic predecessor, and carrying tn
three Democratic counties OF which his dis
trct Is composed. And contrary 10 the pre-
diclion of tile Westchester Gazette in 1856
