PIMA RAscALs.-According to our phnnix correspondent, Pima Indians have not forgot ten how to take and destroy white mems property. What pity it is that q big vigi- lance committee cannot take hold of these red marauders and give them taste of Tue son justice. What a shame it is that their agent cannot keep them on their reservation, where they have plenty to eat Will not our Delegate in Congress stir this matter up, and prevail upon the powers that be to force said agent to call upon the military for such aid as would enable him to control his Indians The white people of the Gila and Salt river, have been quite forbearing with these over bearing red scamps, but it is too much to ex pect that they will not, some day, lose al patience and make it warm for their torment ors Forbearance will, sooner or later, ceas 10 be virtue, and when it does, the white, sepulchres of the Indian ring will be t blame.

WEATuER-CRoPs.- heavy rain fell in the mountains, south of Prescott, Saturday evening last, which sent s tearing flood down Granite creek. But little rain fell on Prescott on the evening in question.
 Chino Valley and surrounding country were flooded one day last week. The water stood four feet deep in many places on the farms, doing con. siderable damage to crops.
 Agus Fria Valley was flooded, last week. The Hood played havoc with Theo Boggs' melons.
 Mir. Cullumber, of Walnut Grove, informs us that his section of country was recently very wet, from n heavy rain storm.
 During the week It ralned heavily between Fort Rock and Camp Hualpai, on the Prescott and Iardyville road.
 The Turkey Creek and Bradshaw regions have had good showers.
 Singular to relate, Salt River Valley, the coun. try around Florence and Tucson, have, thls year, been we'll nigh skipped by the rains.
 Mohaye county has had considerable rain also some parts of Yuma.
 Eastern Yavapal, (around Camp Apnche), has tad several good drenching rains, in consequence of which the corn and other crops of the Indians were looking well when Mir Cooley left there some l2 days ago.
 Around Prescott, the corn is stunted, and but little will be raised unless the frost should hold of until late.
 Speaking for thls section, we think we will bs correct in stating that the present Is the dryes summer ever experienced by whites in this sec tion. But wet winter would equalize matters and hope Is now high that next winter will be O this character.
 Despite the droutb, grass Is plentiful, and th entire section Is clothed in delicious green.

TrLEGRArHic.-It is high time to com mence building the proposed telegraph lines. Poles are stretched along good deal of the route from Prescott to Pbenix, some of the wire has already reached Fort Whipplc, and we know of no good reason for not going to work on this end of the line. The papers at San Diego say that Capt George F. Price, of the Army, and citizen HaiDes, who have charge of the work, were there recently, and ~eald sooH start work. They were finding some difficulty in locating route by follow ing which the line would not enter Mexican territory.

Prescott brags on her nlghtwatchman, Mir. wm. Jennings, who knows SO we'll how to preserve the peace and watch over the lives and property of his sleeping brothers and sisters. All the ways like Jennings, and love to "play roots on him" Now, J. has been In the habit of calling at the MINER office and "jefiug" with the boys for the lager. He has proved "soh snap" for said boys, who by some hocs pocuu have generally turned the quads 60 as to make 1t incumbent upon J. pay for their drinks, and to remind him of the honor they felt at being enabled to irrigste at his expense.
 Dropping into Barnard & Co.'S saloon, the other day, J. struck Col B., when little game was proposed. The Col soon after "diskiyered'' trick that struck him as being neither "child. like nor bland :" some harsh dictionary words re suited, and coolness, which, one day last week was broken by the Col. asking J. to try suihin', which he did. Then did our mischief. loving typos argue poor J. into the belief tLai the Col had played even by putting some "hoo doc" into his "tea" Sickness followed, and up heayals came thick and fast Soon after, J. struck for Kendalls drug store, when the clerk Parks, whs lives for little joke, prescribed seid lltz powders--a powder at n time. So powder al time was followed by J., who soon after fe sort of general swelling and upward rising o hls intestincs, which movement continued unti the poor fellow felt anxious about hls sblngl' roof, which, he says, felt as if 1t would have t' make room for the top Of his head. J. is nov over these tFIhes, aud s~ears vengeance agains the next fellows who try to joss him In any suc' a way. As to seidlitz powders, he thinks lt woul' be better to use them in his bread, afler the man ner of yeast powders.
 The Col. dld not, Of course, put any tobacco il Us "iea' 50 that the MINER boys are to blame 10 the whole "unplcasaDtness."
