MEXICAN BATTLE WITH INDIANS.
The San Francisco Public Bal
ance, Of the 3lst Of tlarch, learns,
by &c ntleman from Sonora, that
in the latter part Of February a
battle was fought betw cen the So
moran troops, under Gen Castillo,
and the Apache Indians, in which
the former were completely defeat
ed, some two hundred of their best
men being killed Oh the fell and
losing over three hundred Prise
ners. The loss of the Indians was
trifling. The. origin Of ille'war is
the discoveries Of rich placers Of
gold and silver in the Apache cpuu-
Try, which the Sonoraas attempted
to work, but were continually mo
Tested by the Indians-so much 50
that it was not safe 10 dig except
when in large parties. 1t is the
wish of the Sonorans TO drive off
the ipacIles in order that they may
work the mines, but the sigaal de-
feat they met with in the late en-
gagement has rather dishcartened
! them.
