received IN this city. Il has been thought from fermer
experiments that the Indians could not be les they
never before have beoD Overaken and signslly chas
tised But the recent campaigns against cEe OF the
most warhke tribes known in the West have proved
the contrary.
On the goth Of April IT.. Col ST. vrain Of the volun-
teers with about one half of the command, let Fort
Massachusetts, proceeded through the saugre de
Christie Pas to the Huerfano where he struck large

On tie 23d Col Fauntleroy lett Fort Massachusetts,
with the remaining portion of his command, and
Having proceeded up by the Sannhis 10 the head Of
the st. Louis Valley, by careful night marches,

which lie followed on the 2sih through the Rancho
Pas and up the Arkansas River, and after having

PEOPLE did not TO fight, bat that they desired

These victories over the savages have given bright
hopes to the desponding population of the territory,
who heretofore have had nothing presented to them
but the loss of life, property or the captivity Of their
wives and children.
Information has been received that the Utahs and
Apaches are gathering together near the Spanish
Peaks, with the intention of proceeding through the
Haton mountains, and making All attack on the nu-
merous trains how route for tuls territory. To pre-
vent such catastrophe the Colonel has ordered
Lieut. Col. st. VAIN TO proceed with one-haf OF the
command forthwith and take their trail, while he Will
proceed with the rest of the troops by the kayado TO
the Red river and meet him in the Haton mountains.
The Governor intends making peace with the Mess
callero Apsches, provided they will consent TO go
West OF the Del Norte.
The wheat crop is suffering very much from the
grasshoppers, and there meny apprehensions of
martial failure of the crops generally. J. :.
