 The Los Angeles Star says:
 Mr. $. Kaufman, of the firm of H. Mayer & Co.,. for some time engaged in the Santa Fe and Chihuahua trade, arrived from Fl Paso last week, with twenty large Chihuahua wagons and about 300 mules, the largest and finest train that ever before arrived in this valley The train left Ell Paso on the 12th of June, being including stoppages, about two months and a half on the route. MT. K. reports the Apaches very hostile, committing depredations whenever and wherever an opportunity offered. On the Rio San Pedro the Indians killed MT. Whit hey, partner of Madison & Co.,, with large drove of cattle for this country, and their ma jor- domo, by the name of Edwards. Messrs. Whit ney and Edwards were in pursuit of some cat tie about a mile ln the rear of the train when they were surprised by large party of Indians and shot with rifles. There was also another man badly wounded, but succeeded in making his escape, and is now recovering. The feed for stock was very good from Fl Paso to Tuson, but from the latter place until they arrived at Warmers ranche the feed was very poor, SC much so that it was a matter of surprise that 1iuo crossed the Rio Colorado at the new ferry known as the Pilot Knob Ferry, and speak in the high est praise of Messrs Mclean, Little & Arm. strong, the proprietors, for their gentlemanly attention and quick dispatch they received 1T crossing the river The following gentlemen all with large drovcs of cattle, from San Anto nio, Texas, were encamped near Tuson, wait ing for better feed on the Gila river: Messrs Pyron Edwards, Fully, Sweet, & Co. The weather was extremely hot, and there was nc rain on the route after leaving Tuson.
