The Apaches carrying on their forays with great
holiness Last week they stopped Mr.. Byrd, who was
on his way to Sonora TO buy cattle, few miles from Gala
basas RANCH and robbed him OF everything, including
considerable gold The old chief informed Mr. B. that
the "treay made with the whites had sfaded away like
smoke in the air" There forty or fifty
Apaches well mounted and armed. Three nights since
the same band, doubt came upon the Arvaca ranch
but being discovered they shot at and MORALLY wounded
of the herders, and retreated The night
Indians were Tubac, and horse was stolen
from farm close by. Col. Reeve, the commander ut
Fort Buchanan says he has not force enough pursue
chastise the Indians fearing that he will eopardze the
without the least assistance protection from the United
States troops Our citizens have resolved to endure this
state Of things no longer, mail or no mail, and
are now raising company of rangers to fol-
low and chastisc the Apaches wherever they
can be found 1t is, therefore, vitality necessary for
government to send out mounted troops at once he
mail line may be destroyed. The negligence bad
management Of Colonel Bonneville, commander of the
Department of New Mexico is the chief cause Of these In
dian troubles and petition is now being circulated
throughout this section for his removal from the com
mand Right in the midst of hostiltes, while Captain
Ewe was preparing to invade the Apache country with
100 dragons and fifty citizens, Colonel Bonneville re-
moved company Of the mounted men to Fort Fill
Of infantry TO the worst Indian region in the Union.
Therefore, for active operations Fort Buchanan has
company Of dragoons IS men, to mount which there
only 30 horses. OF the entire force, two companies,
there the 18th instant 40 the sick list,
and about thrice as many more on fatigue duty and
vice around the post. You can see that the force
allowed to this Indian country is o mere
nothing, and THAT in reality the whole country
is at the mercy of the Apaches. Again, let me give
will continue until troops scattered along the road
or the Apaches whipped into decent behavior There
should be at least two companies near Tucson and three
companies at Fort Buchanan or one large post of three
mounted companies and two companies of infantry at the
Tres Aamos the San Pedro river The Apaches would
then be afraid to rob Americans est their haunts
should be invaded and their warriors destroyed.

Company has of late been charge of John Wrghtson Of
