MILITARY AFFAIRs.-The incursloDs OF the q la aud
Mogoyon Apaches on the line of the lilo Grande, ana
in the Mesila Valley, have rendered 1t advisable IN
the opinion of General Garland, TO visit their country
with tie troops. A command Of about 26o regulars,
dragons and infantry, under the command OF COL
Chandler will take the field early in March provsioned
for q month or more and invade the ella Apache coun
try near the head waters OF the ella, and demand
satisfaction for the robbees and murders of which
they have been guilty. The promptless with which
this movement is being made will have good effect
upon other tribes, well as those who are the OBJECTS
OF the expedition.

with Indian Agent Dodge to meet the Navajo Indians

Others whom it was important to see
The necessity Of this meeting grew out OF some RAIDS
committed by the Nayaios in February, ON the Puer
co, and the line of travel from the Rio Grande to
Font Defiance. 80
The Navaios state that it is almost impossible to
traverse their country account of the deep snow

THE INDEPESDgScE MAIL.-The fate OF the North
en- mail is still in doubt not word has been heard
from it, though it is now the evening of the GOTH. We
fear the stage has not been able to reach Fort MON
on occouut OF the great fall Of snow on the plains and
the excessive cold weather that we understand has
been experienced in that region Of country.
The Mexican traders and Buffalo hunters are return
ing in deporable condition; six or seven OF the
party were frozen to death and many Others badly
ost-bitten But for their wagons and carts, winch
they used for fuel the whole party would doubtless have
perished
TIER animals nearly all either frozen or driven
IF by the Indians and all that returned are on foot
The Indians have ero lost large quantities OF stock
q severe one.
