FROM PIMA COUNTY.
 We see by the. Tucson Citizen of the fifth inst, that copy of the official map :of the proposed line of the Texas and Pacific Rail. road had been received at the Surveyor Generals office, Tucson. According to this map, the road will run via the head of Ari- vaipa canyon, down, said canyon to the Gila river; thence along said river, to Arizona City, touching at Pima Villages and Gila Bend
 Should the road be built upon this route, Tucson will be some sixty miles to the south of the nearest railroad station, and the peo- pie of Phoenix and vicinity, Salt River Val ley, will have to go distance of 25 or 30 miles to the railroad, until such time as branch roads shall have been built.
 The departure from Camp Grant, of Indi. an Agent Jacobs is noted and commented up on in more in sorrow thon in anger" sort of way. Stevens-Jacobs' predecessor has many admirers, but our contemporary is willing to let him prove his title to populari- ty, before footing horn for him.
 A well near Crittenden Station, was down S30 feet, at which depth the ground was soft, but not very watery.
 P. Megery, owner of a. ranch, had killed two Apaches, while said Apaches were ma. neuvering to kill him or steal his stock.
 Apaches had been stealing horses from the papagoes.
 John. Spring, teacher of the Public School makes favorable showing for said school for the quarter ending August 3l, 1872. Camps Grant and Arivaipa. Recent letters from the above named pla- ces give us foundation for the following items;
 Company M, Fifth Cavalry, commanded by Lieut.. Amy, was at Arivaipa, doing noth. ing and anxious to be sen. out against hos tile Apaches.
 The Arivaipa valley is one of the finest in the Territory; plenty of grass but no stock no farmers. Twenty recruits had arrived.
 One writer complains that the Territorial papers which furnish the most interesting news for men and officers, have received and are receiving the least patronage from the troops.
 Intermittent fever had broke out among the troops at Grant, and Drs. Havard and Mullan were kept busy, attending to its vic. tins.
 Grant, at which place there are over ], ,OOC Indians, was "garrisoned by two. companies of Cavalry and one of Infantry.
 The new Indian agent--Mr. Stevens-had arrived from Camp Apache and taken charge of his wards. Mir. Stevens was formerly . a sergeant in the Army, who, while stationed at Camp Goodwin, married daughter o Els -kel-thes-e-la, hereditary chief of the White Mountain Apaches. We hope that his happening to be member of royal ab' original family will not cause him to over look the misdecds of his aboriginal family on the Grant reserve.
 The old Indian Reservation of Camp Grant is abolished, and, by letter, or order of Gen Howard, dated May 2S, 1872, the "Whits Mountain Reservation is extended as follows; Commencing at its present southeast point 1 (this point is top of the Pinal Mountains making the extreme western boundary north of. Gila, due north and south), and running due south to the Gila, and along the Gila te l . point. ten (l0) miles below (west of mouth of San Pedro, thence parallel with the gen efal course of San Pedro to.a point ten (lO) miles south of Post (Ca,np Grant, thence ] due east to the north and south line, which embraces the old post of Camp Goodwin, thence due north to the southern boundary of Present White Mountain Reservation The whole new extension is hereby named the San Carlos Division"
 This gives the Coyotero, Pinal and Arivai pa Apaches very large strip of tho best portion of Arizona.
