IxEssE RAISyALL.-We stated in last brdAy's daily, that rain commenced falling bout o'clock on the Friday evening Fious, and it is with great pleasure we state that it has rAinsd almost incessant- evcr siueo, and is stiA coming down very dly and effectively. Granite creek, eh rises in the mountains, about miles h of Prescott, has suelled and swelled, it is more like navagable river than k. Yesterday, it's resistless current swept n great pine logs and deterred many peo- frOm attempting to cross it, astride the biggest horses. It was, we believe, higher
 any white person had ever before seen
 January of any year. All other creeks bis vicinity are in the same condition; the hnd here is 50 wet that wells, shafts, etc, fast caving in. We. who have so fervent- rayed for such a wetting, have, as yet, no ntion of crying, "Hold-encagh." No, would rather have to flee, for safety, to mountains of Hepsidam, ar any other
 than have 1t ''dry up," evsn sf this wet te Of the game.
 ergeant Anderson, who, in connection Private Tim Lynch and others, recently bed the commissary at Fort Wtipple of Dn, etc, IS very old soldier, who has, un- bow, borne an envisble reputation, and
 looked upon, by all officers who knew @ q very honest man. Gen Crook has wn Anderson for many years, and, when rmed by Lieut. Weiting that Anderson stolen some property and deserted, the eral said, "No, no, Lieutenant, that man 't gone; hunt him up, he nay be in Pres The tnnE tha G..r.oral hrr and 1t was quite while before he could It in his heart to believe that one of his companions had robbed the Government Lieut. Weiting, and deserted. itis, how f now know that Anderson, who had rge nf the stores stolen, was made drunk coaxed into committing crimes that must fver impair his standing in the Army, and pg the blush of shame to his cheeks after has been entrusted with large sums of hey, and as often has accounted for every I'd.
 y1n this connection, it Is we'll to remind the lzens of Wickenburg, who arrested these , that Gen Crook is exceedingly thankful their acts, and hopes that other citizens follow their example, whenever they may e occasion for so doing, it being the inter x a!i good citizens to assist the officers o have given the Territory peace, in keep the Generals small force where that force a do the most good" Never before, to
 knogledge, have soldiers been better .ted than those now here under Crook his officers, SO that none of them can have shadow of pretext for deserting.
