THE APACHE& ~
The mail from the West arrived hist night, bring.
ing Us Santa Fe papers of the 18th, and letters from
Cautouaent Bwgin, near Taos, to the 2la of March,
to friends in this city. From these letters learn
the following authentic particulars of the desperate
battle between the command Of Lieut.. Davidson and
the Apache Indians, few miles from Taos.
On the night Of the 18th of March, Lieut.. Davld'
son left Cantomment Burgwin, in command on MY
men, in pursuit Of the Apaches' VINO were sup
posed to be about 100 strong. Next morning. ABOUT
O'Clock, he came upon the Indians. posted upon
mountain, and far exceeding IN n.moers wnat had
dred There was but one alternative, as they raised
the war-whoop upon the approach Of the command,
and the attack upon them commenced at once.
After fight Of three hours, during which Lieut..
Davidson lost twenty-five men killed and twenty -one
wounded, two-thrds of the command being killed
and wounded, he was forced to retire. fighting his
way over two miles, and with the disadvantage of
having the wounded to carry with him. Lieut.. Da-
wilson received arrow wound, not very severe, IN
hand to hand conflict. Surgeon Magruder was al
30 wounded, slightly.
The victory was dearly bought one to the Indians,
as about fly of them were killed, and nothing but
their superiority in numbers gave them the tr-
umph. Everything was safe at Cantcmment Burg
win, there being fifty odd men there 1t was expect
ed that the whole of the Generals dsposable force
would be sent out against the enemy.
Another letter, dated the 3lst, says: "They COM
menced firing upon US, every shot taking either upon
the horses or men. 1t was sad sight to see so
many men falling dead by my side. We were in so
bad place that the Indians had great advantage Of
us, and when retired they all sides of us;
had we stopped there three minutes longer, not man
would have been saved. The wounded are now in
the hospital. A Mexican whom met in Taos to-
day, told that he was at the place of action yes
terday afternoon, and he counted sixty dead Indian
bodies.
Maj. Blake and Thompson. with a few troops and
a large number of Mexicans, started last night to
bring in the dead bodies, and to attack the Indians,
if they could be found"

ment, Mr.. Geo. X. M'Gunnegle, Jr., of this
city, who active participant, and behaved
with all the GOODNESS Of a veteran. He escaped
