 Plus K, whose real name was Mastai Feretti, was elected Pope June 18th, 1S46 On the s4th day of November 1s4S, he fied in disguise from an insurrection at Rome and went to Gaeta, and on the Sth of Feb ruary fs49 the provisional Government de clared him divested fall temporal power.
 French bayorets put down the Republic however. and the Pope returned to Rome April 18th, 1850.
 We have not time or space to follow his record further to-day down through his difficulties with Victor Emanuel the dogma of infslibility etc, with which most of our readers are familiar.
 The College of Cardinals is summoned by telegraph, and we shall probably be able to announce the name of bis successor within a few days.

ORGANIZATION.

A member of the bread and butter brigade seems to be troubled about the lamentable failure of the great uncleansed, in their at- tempt to organize raid for the spells of office. on Saturday, and turns to the Enter prise. as the sun-fewcr does to ns god, the same look as.it sets that if did when it arose and plaintiyely murmufs that the MINER has made bad choice of word to express the feelings and convictions of those wbc went away sorrowing from the District Astorney's office on Saturday, each feeling more as if he had passed through that officers hands and been convicted, than as a conquering political hero marching on to victory.
 Suppose we did say they were satisfed if vas n failure,'' we were satisfied with the result. and it was but natural that every fbing should appear serene te 6 contented mind. However. if it IS preferred, and bet for suited to the correspondents compre- bensiou. we will modify the expression and say that they stumbled 10 it" or like st;mmerhorn's boy, when . neighbor boy had tr;pped him up with rope, scrambled nm erawled of on his hands aud knees. ,,,,tfered back a' his tormentor, and said. aNa vou don't.

 The Enterprise correspondent, who writes his name x, as very many of fhiscompatriots do. calls our verscity in question, and then immediately proceeds to pen what he knows to be untrue, if he knows anything about IL, when he says he ssfeels assured that no mem Der of the Democratic Committee of fava- pai County has ever intimated to any one the slightest doubt in respect to the thorough organization of the partyin the Territory,
 He knows, or ought to know, II he has had his ears about him, that more than one member of the Committee made no secret of their convictions on Saturday, which were that it was not expedient or wise to organize; and one almost swore, and if he had been a profane man Yolla have sworn, that the whole scheme was bursted. ,
 It is easy enough for an irresponsible scribbler to call in question the word or a gentleman but not so easy to verify hls assertions.

LETTER FROM YUMA.

En. MISrR:-For several months small pox has prevailed in this place. 1t was con, fined to no particular locality, ana spared neither acc nor condition. The numoer oi cases have not been reported, and the VIC tims of the disease have passed away wi'h- out record. There have been several nun, dred cases. most of which were of a mlli type in consequence of which fact and the favorable climate, the mortality has nol been great. The disease is said to be rapid- iy passiRg away, and it is certain the people sf Yuma are no more alarmed about the prevailing epidemic Visitors to the Terri fory have been deterred from coming, and i,,siuess has materially suffered from the sureadino of the disease, which could have I,een controlled with proper management ,,n,i A small expenditure of money, had sanitary measures been adopted in time
 The stage which left "Wednesday, going oast was attacke.. by tyo Mexicans, neal Fi,libuster. The driver was ordered 10 balt and on refusing to do so, was sho. ih ui' arm, receiving slight wound. The at tempted robbery was complete ialiure.
 Steamers arrive and depart irreguiariy owing to the low water. The eocopat left for Aubrey, to-day, and the diia VII DO up the river in a few days. Freight II accumulating, and teams are scarce. !her' has been reduction in the railroad force and but little work is being done. The 25t miles of steel rails which Mr. Huntington reported in Washington that tho southess Pacific had in Yuma, are not to be found They must either be in the Colorado riyei or buried in the sand-hills. The rails cross-ties and otber property which Califor mia papers report to have been brought into the Territory to escape taxation, have mol vet been seen, but exist in the fertile imagi ration of certain editors.
 It is rumore.l that Judge De Forest Por ter will be a candidate for Delegate to Con. gress. His candidature meets with muci favor, and if s.south of the Gila' must have inc Delegate, why not let it be tho Asso' ciate Justicel There are some other gen tlemen in Yuma who would sacrifice them selves before the election of Delegate shoule Do by default; but from what We have fcarned, Judge Porter Is not likely to mee with exposition from Yuma candidate if h' should conclude to enter the Congrcssiona arena. No effort is 5sing made to organ izs political parties here, the prevailing opinion being that movement in that di rccfion Is premature. +. l.. D. t.

ANCIENT RUINS AND RELICS.


 ED. MINER :-Since I read in your col umns, some time since, of the old Tuini above Camp Verde, have visited them These ruins are situated about four miles above Camp Verde, on point of rock. about fifty feet high, eastof the Rio Verdi f facing the west, and about 25o feet from tho river At the foot of these ruins, n conpa- ny has been building a ditch. and utilizing the remains of these ruins to fiil up tho grade. In throwing down the rock and dirt, they have found that they were once a succession of houses joined together. each room being distinct, and built of rock and mud. In the center of several of the rooms are found ashes, indicating that fires were won't to be made in the houses to cook or warm by. Earthern pots were near the ashes
 1 A number of the rooms have the appear ance of having been burned down, as where the walls have crumbled down in places, charred wood is found mixed in the debris. In one room was human skeleton par tially burnt, and pots near by. Ore bowl is perfect, and another cracked and has on it some hieroglyphies and caricatures. One room contained eleven skeletons, varying from large man down to the size of an in- fant.
 Major Brayton, and party from Verde Post, came up to visit the ruins, and hear ing that Mr. Hull had small collection of relics from them, they stopped to examine them,--one, skull and jaw, Is nearly per feet, with teeth in good state of preserva- tion. A stone hammer of small size; bone implement, sharp pointed; two bowls-one bearing caricatures apparently representing language, but somewhat defaced by having been burnt with the house. Mr. Hull pre- sented these things to the Major for ship ment to the Smithsonian Institute.
 After gaining such information as they could, they continued on to the ruins, and in passing Mr. Dickinsons they were pre- sented with dipper found in the ruins; the end of the handle was broken in excs- vatlng. This dipper resembles a cocoa nut in shape. The inside is striped and made to somewhat resemble stairs at one en.l, and straight on the other, with few lines around it. The clay was of dark cream color. At the ruins they found several other things, which were added to the col lection.
 A R&E2 FARMING.
 Our fruit-tree men, Goodhue & Arm strong, have sued william Gift for refusing to pay for some trees he ordered, which has somewhat startled our people, who are aaa- ble to take their trees and pay for them.
 Our farmers arc much distressed over the fence law, and are saying hard things about the members of the last Legislature. If meE of means and experience would take hold of mines, this, think, would turn ont to be a good mining district. This valley is bound, ere long, to be the garden spot of Arizona what, with our water facilities, climate, ducks, geese, fish, soil, etc, etc, it must, in time become place for people from the mountains to spend their winters in fishing. hunting, etc., etc. CITIZEN.

OLD PIONEERS.

Wood Dodd, brother of Indian Agent Dodd, who was murdered ten years since by his proteges, the Navajoes, arrived in town yesterday from Camp Apache, where he is employed as guide. MT. Dodd first came to Arizona ten years since with c. E. Cooley and Chas. Franklin. They outftted and started from the Zuni Villages for the Coy
 otero Apache country, where they expected them to some particular spot where gold could be found in quantities sufficient to load pack mules or even wagons. Their guide failed to lead them on to fortune
 They, however, with courage and in hopes of finding wealth, pushed on into the lonely wilds of the craggy forest, surrounded by hundreds of bloodthirsty demons who were watching their chance to bounce upon and annihilate them, when fortunately they fell in with Col. Green and large number of soldiers who chanced to be in the noun tains, and were rescued from what other wise would have been certain death. When captured by Col. Green, their situation was not in all particulars pleasant, as, that offi- cer finding three white men in the heart of an Indian country, looked upon them as white allies of the Apaches, and gave orders for their execution, his orders only being stayed by the intervention of his guide, MT. Geo. Cooler of Tucson, who was at the time absent from the command, and arrived just in time to save them. He knew the brave adventurers we'll, and plead for their lives.
 The three gentlemen are still in the coun- try, and have, ever since their rescue by the
 Colonel, taken an active part in fighting the Indians, and perhaps no three men in the Territory have done so much towards sub duing and bringing to perfect suejection the Apaches as Dodd, Cooley and Franklin.
