Indians and their Doings.

At latest dates from Camp Date Creek, two sub-ch:efs- and several Apache Indians had come in there and declared themselves Itked of bucking against the whites.
 Friendly Indians say that large number of Apaches are concentrated in the foothills of Bill Williams Mountain. their object being to council and prepare for killing and robbing whites. No doubt, General Crook will at tend to their case.
 Agent Jacobs thinks of settling the Verde
 Indians near Peck's Lake, on the Upper Verde, where there is abundance of fish, game, grass and arabic land. His idea is to teach the Indians how to make living out of the soil, knowledge many of them already possess, but which they are averse to prac- ticing.
 Our Phoenix letter gives the latest Indian dcpredations in that portion of the Territory.
 Here, they have been keeping quiet for some time past, but the recent movement near Bradshaw City and Hell Cannon is evil dence that they have not yet forgotten how to raid

Salt River Valley.

Imagine an immense belt of level ground, of about B miles in length by from 10 to l2 miles in width, through which courses a splendid stream, which always affords from G, 900 to l00,0 inches of water, about one half of which is led over various portions of the valley, by means of ditchcs, and you have Salt River and Salt River Valley, which, un- til 1868, was "howling wilderness" but is now blooming field, or series of fields, dot ted, here and there, with rising villages, com fortablc farm houses long lines of shade trees, orchards and vineyards. No wonder that dwellers therein are proud of their val ley, nor is it surprising that every resident of the Territory should look upon it with re- spect, as the greatest grain producer in the Territory, and the great oasis of Southern Arizona
 Had VIC time and space, we could, with pleasure, descsnr upon the valley; its people; the chances for growing rich by investing money and muscle in its rich soil, but having able correspondents whose duty it is to dish up. these things we shall not now infringe upon their field of duty.
 In less than four years nearly 5000 people have settled in the valley, and there is land for thousands of others; land that will pro- duce fruit of all kinds, cereals of all sorts, vegetables, cotton, sugar-cane, etc, etc.
 Crude, too, as is the civilization of its peo- pie, the church the Sunday School and the District School are institutions which have not been forgotten or neglected, but which, on the contrary, flourish and expand, beck oning families to come and settle within the lines of their influence, and proving to the good of every land that even in Arizona, re- ligion, knowledge, charity and other virtues arc zealously taught and sought after.
The weekly Arizona miner., 1872-11-16
THE RAILROAD OUTLOOK.

The Press and people of Eastern Nevada are again agitating the question of building . narrow guage railroad from some point on the Central Pacific road to Northern Arizona, and we sincerely hope they may keep on agi- tating the question until men of capital come forward and start the enterprise. .. Of course, it will not take much reason or argu- ment to convince intelligent capitalists re- garding the profits that would speedily be derived from the traffic of railroad over the proposed route, which road would tap some of the most extensive mining fields in the world, and open up much good grazing and farming land.
 The Mormons are working away on their road, which points this way, and, unless San Francisco, Los Angeles and other California towns awake and run rails out this way, Salt Lake City and Chicago will be seducing us into trading with them.
 Concerning the Texas Pacific, the talk is that the engineers have utterly failed to find a feasible route through the mountain chain lying between Fort Yuma and San Diego and that, in consequence, said road is going to be constructed on route running through Salt River Valley and crossing the Colorado at the Needles, which route, we assert, is easy and practicable and would accommodate the people of every section of this Territory.
 Stanford X O., are silent concerning their plans, and will remain so until the subsidies they now ask arc secured.
 The Atlantic and Pacific Company are pre- pairing to make big break on Congress for the opening of the Indian country, which ac- tion would ensure the building of road on tine route of the 35th parallel inside of five years

The New Postal Card.

The new postal card has reached San Fran cisco, and is described by the Chronicle as follows:
 "TlIe new postal card is three inches by five and one eighth inches in size, made from a fine quality of card board and is of light buff color. X border of scrollwork runs around the edge, while in the upper right hand corner is very handsome stamp, con .isting ef head of liberty encircled with stars and surrounded with elliptical scroll work. The denominatio1 is one cent, and the color of the work rich velvet brown. The inscription is simply "Cnited States Postal Card-write address only on this side, the message on the other" Below are ruled lines, while the reverse is blank.

That Raid Into Mexico.

2 X despatch dated Washington, October 30, says that the War Department has taken no steps beyond notifying the State Department of the reported raid by small party of Americans across tho Mexican border. Com manders at frontier posts have standing or dcrs to use the utmost diligence in prevent ing such disturbances and arreSting all marauding parties. TLc State Department will commSnicate with the Mexican authori- ties regarding the matter and give assurance of our desire and intention to preserve quiet along the border.
 If the Mexican outfit that calls itself a government would only try to keep it's mur- dcrous thieves in their own appropriate and congenial homes, Americans would not care to disturb them.
The weekly Arizona miner., 1872-11-16
THE MEXICAN QUESTION.

Manifest destiny is hastening our course toward Mexico, and to avoid another oollis sion with the people of that country is be- yond our power. Then, the sooner it comes the better it will be for them and us. Her people we do not care to have incorporated under our flag and Constitution, but there is no way to avoid doing so. The country was made for us, and will never become what God and Nature made it for until Americans sit in its halls and rule its destinies. Our Government and people have tried their very best to live in peace with Mexico and her people, yet, how have they acted towards us? How have they repaid us for the 'sfavorn done them in driving European armies from their soil |? Let the murders and robberi, 6 recently committed by Mexicans upon Amer jeans, from the Gulf of Mexico to that Of California, answer. An! what American can forget the butehery of, innocent American men, women and babes, at Mission Camp and other places in this Territory; the murders committed in Texas the impoverishing of our citizens by her thieves, and the fell spirit of revenge for the loss of conquered territory, and for our prowess in arms: our scientific skill, our progress, that fires the hearts of the wretched mongrels across the Border. Not one, we imagine. Then, let us at once to the work of. rc-constructing Mexico and her in- habitants,-a work which it is our duty to perform. The job may not prove a pleasant one. But escape it we cannot Fate, or something else, has blinded her people. The Indian blood in their veins is working their ruin. Like Cachisc, they want license to do as they please; carte Jlaache to kill Amer jeans and rob them of their property but they offer no security for future good beha- vior; nor will they give up or punish the murderers and oppressors of our people, until such time as they are forced to do so.
 And, from the signs of the times, the time when they shall be made do so is not far dis tant, as from every section of the border we now hear muttered American thunder that will soon break forth from cannon and rifle and scare the Greasers out of their mocasins

Mails---Stages---Complaints.

Our Delegate in Congress, K. c. McCor mick, is accused of favoring Southern Arizona in the matter of mails, and We must admit that those who charge him with this favor itism give good grounds for the charge. They say that Tucson and the settlements along the Gia have tri-weekly mails from the East and from the Pacific States and Territories while the people of Northern Arizona have but semi weekly service over a route to California.
 They say that mail line goes to, or passes by, every military post, and nearly every set clement in Southern Arizona, while the mili- tary are compelled to do their own mail car rying to and from nearly every post in North ern Arizona. That the citizens of score of settlements, including some large ones, in this section, have no mail facilities whatever. carrying mail over the route hence to Albu- squerque, New Mexico, is not being fulfilled. Then, nothing has, so far, been heard rum the contract that was to have been let Octo- Der 3, for carrying mail from Hardyville tc Prescott, uia Union Pass, the towns in Walla- pal Mining District, the military camps of Beale Springs and Hualpai, and the settle ments of Walnut Creek, Williamson and other valleys; and they have come to the conclusion that all the talk, proposals, prom ises, &c, made in these directions, were blinds, and dodgcs to get rid of petitions, &c.
 They have asked for increase of schedule time, or for increase of mail service upon their main and only route to California, but neither prayer has yet been granted, and we suffer on account of having to wait ten days for San Francisco letters and papers and eight days for news from Los Angeles, which is only about 400 miles from Prescott.
 Albuquerque and Santa Fe are, respectively, about $50 and 400 miles east of Prescott, yet it takes about month to hear from either place, when, with service upon tine Albu- querque route, letters and papers would reach us in four days. Clearly, there are wrongs in this mail business which ought to be redressed.
 Then, Mfr: Grant, the mail contractor be- tween Prescott and California, is berated for not affording better travelling accommoda- tions, and for not shortening stations, &c., so that our people are far from being pleased.
