IndiansI Indians!

Some of our territorial exchanges have been shouting Indians, blood and warl and calling for more troops and protection in such alarming tones that even our near nelghbors really believe that every Apache in Arizona is again on the war path, and that our settlers and miners are once more at the mercy of the heartless savage. The Mesllla Valley Independent of August 24, has an article nearly a column in length, pOrtraying the direful effects of the recent Indian outbreaks in Ari- zona, the insecurity to life and prop erty here, and the disastrous effects of this terrible Indian scourge will have upon the progress and prosperity of our Territory. We quote the following extracts from that article:
 The news has come to us confirmed that the San Carlos Indians have left their reservations. They have invaded Chihuahua and murdered families and committed other mischief This brings the arrow eating cuss in close proxim- ity to the Rio Grande. Our border is open and but slightly protected.
 This band, 1900 strong, receiving al- lies from other disaifected bands will have 1t in their power to commit great injury to the country before they can be suppressed.
 Arizona will be the greater sufferer which will be felt all the way to the Pacific slope, &c., &c.
 This is the result of the foolish articles recently published by some of our cotemporaues with a view of getting 8 few more hundred soldiers ordered into Arizona. We have de- nOunced these false alarms before These blood and thunder articles are copied and read much more extensive ly than our peace offerings, and the mischief they effect is great. We have arrived at that stage when we must depend upon the development of our natural resources for prosperity and wealth A few hundred troops will not make Us rich, but immigration and capital will. These will not be at tracted by proclaiming the country in- secure and the Indians murderous. No objections to a few more troops, but it would be financial suicide to obtain them at such cost Arizona has a terrible Indian record and 1t requires but little 10 alarm strangers and turn them away. We have been injured enough by outlaws on the highway without circulating false reports of bloody Indian wars. That will be bad enough should it ever come, but while we have peace let us proclaim it, Ari- zona is today much more secure than New Mexico. No Indians have left San Carlos We have no Indian war nor any prospects of one. Prospectors are safe in all our mountains, and our great mineral resources only await capital and labor to develop them. We hope all our exchanges will let these facts be known, and never again publish articles about Indian outbreaks in Arizona until the same are officially confirmed.

MR. WI. ZECKEND0RF, accompanied
 by his wife and child and by Mrs. E E. Pomroy and child, passed up by coach yesterday morning. 4 large amount Of sympathy for these parties was vainly ex- pressed by their many friends in Florence on the evening previous 10 their arrival.
 We had learned by telegraphic rumOr that their stage had been robbed-the rob bers taking horses, stage and all, thus .oblging the passengers to walk fneen or twenty miles to the station. Much anxle- ty was manifested which was happily .dispelled by their arrival yesterday, not having been molested on the trip. Mrs. Pomroy will occupy her old quarters iu Tucson, where her husband awaits her. MT. Zeckendorf will establish a new busi- ness under the firm name of Zeckendorf & Staab. Mir. Zeckendorf's excellent bus mess reputation Is well known through out the Territory. With MT. Staab we have personal acquaintance. He be- longs to one of the oldest mercantile firms Of santa Fe, and is one Of New Mexico's wealthiest and most energetic business men. The firm is strong one. They have an excellent field for operation and their standing with the people is such as to insure them great success. We are glad to welcome our old friends back.

FLORENCE has had another gentle show Ter. Early Tuesday morning thunder was heard in the northwest: about eight o'clock the shower reached town. The
 rain lasted fully an hour, and during portion of the time it came down in tor rents. Water-so much needed and so anxiously looked for during the summer was at a discount. About nine o'clock the ditch above town broke, and the mud dy torrent came down Main street with a rush, causing considerable consternatiOn among the owners of adobe walls. MT. CaIisher's residence was again surrounded and a squad Of men were kept very busy for two hours protecting the foundation and walls. The water was running in from the mesa long after the shower had passed town, and the stream down Main street did not abate until about 2 P. 1T. No particular damage was done. but the flood caused considerable extra work and anX- iety. The ditcn owners should arrange a waste gate above town, so that in the event of floods the water can be turned in- to the river before it reaches our streets.

What happy star shone on her birthI
What grassy corner of the earth
Grew daisies for her baby feet
To dance between, since they repeat,
On all the fowerlcss ways they pass,
That breezy motion of the grass?
What brook bewitched her to its brink
And drew her fresh lips down to drink
Its music, while it slipped unseen
Its happy cadCnccs between g
So sweet and glad the voice that slips
From ambush Of her maiden lips.
What winds upon the hills gave room
To her, and bufTcted to bloom
Her rounded checks. and made her hair
A flying sunshine in the air p
For still, like sun-gleams on a rose,
Her wayward color comes aud goes.
What graybeard tree upon the down
Caught, as she sped her floating gown,
And whispered through his ancient gmth
The long dumb sorrow of the earth p
For the sweet pity in her eyes
Almost their gladncss oyerlies.
