NECESSITY OF GOVERNMENT PROJECTION FOR SET
TLERS-LErTEES FROM RESIDENTS.
Mr.. Edward f. Dunbar, of Arizona, now in New
ork, has received advices from that region, com
prising events that have transpircd during the
month of April. He gives the following ex-
tracts:
TUDAC, Friday April 80. 1853.
The morals of the community have not improved.
but on account of cold spell of weather for two
weeks past, no great number of murders have been
committed
The casualties to the present writing are: Dutch
Fred, killed by George Monro: b. Owens, trader,
Killed and robbed by unknown persons; Anton, a
German, shot by accident by drunken man in Tue
son, lrecovering;) Sandova, killed and robbed on
the lilo Grande by L. $. soldiers, seven of whom
passed through Tucson for California; Dents store
broken open and robbed; horse thelts and petty
larcenies too tedious to mention.
An express has just come down, and states that
40 head of cattle and one horse have been taken
from Arivaca by the Apaches, horses from Fort
buchanan, head Of horses from Mccoy, in Tubac:
20 head of horses from Carothers and Wade, Tubac;
head of horses from Matheson's Rancho, Tubac; 80
head of cattle and horses from San Xavier.
The dragons declined making any pursuit. The
people haNnot the animals, arms or provisions
cessary to pursue.
What shall we do? Abandon the country or
trust to the Government for assistance? Will the
Government allow Rangers? Regular troops are
curse to the country, and ought to be disbanded
Withdrawn.
The industry of the country is paralyzed by the
demoralized condition of the Military Department.
The first crops raised in the country sold
on the faith and credit of the Government, and this
has proved for the first time in twenty years,
liable, and the bad results have been aggravated by
the despotc and un just conduct OF unprincipled Off
cals engaged in the administration of the Depart
ment using and pervertng their official position to
base and private purposes.
These the first transactions the people of So
nora ever had with Government officials, and
you know how compromi Bnd dsgraced the Gov
eminent appears to them!~fhey are coming to the
conclusion that our Government is no better than
their own. If Fort Buchanan was fair specimen,
should be of the same opinion. The Quartermas-

Tor the produce bought except to Il few tavorites-
Ii merchant or manager of mining company had
treated the people as he has his corpse would have
swung under some outrageous cottonwood, but the
petty tyrant is hedged in with bayonct that they
cannot get at him. Under the excitement, Major
Steen and Quartermaster Hastings made their exit
from the country and saved themselves from the
just and merited vengeance of an outraged and
swindled community.
hope you will be able to disabuse the minds of
the people in Washington to the efficiency of reg
ular troops against Apaches. Vain hope | fear.
E. b. d.. The regular army on the frontier is
the veriest humbug in existence-thc dcrison and
contempt of all classes, except few contractors
A most unfortunate occurrence took place at
Tucson yesterday. Edward Miles and Bill Curry
had quarrel about some adobes. Miles challenged
Curry, but the latter declined to fight on the ground
that Miles was not "genacmon." Young Benjamin
Miles drawn into the difficulty on his brothers
account, and challenged Curry. They fought with
rifles, at thirty PAGES. Young Miles fired in the
air, whether accidentally on purpose never will
be known. Curry fired and Miles fell, mortally
wounded and never spoke afterwards He
