The station Of the Overland Mail Comuanv nj

teen miles from the Tucson was visited bv hand
OF Apaches on the 9Th instant. There were fonr
persons at the station at the time. The party 81
Indians numbered some thirty-six warriors. ors
Their way as usual, into Sonora, ON thieyir19 a
cnrsion Upon showing . white flag, they we're
allow to come up. They demanded tobacco,
wheat and corn: their wants were supplied Is far
as possbe-the persons at the station giving them
all the tobacco they had in addition to the liifIe
wheat and corn they had on hand, with the excep-
ton of sufficient to make one meal for them tlle
next day., Taking fancy to the buckles on the
harness, they soon stripped it Of all It had and
finding nothing more they wanted left taking with
them large number Of sacks, and bake-oven to
parch their wheat in. 55 800 2 al $3.50 4.
On Monday, the 10th inst, at the Rinccon Ranch
formerly owned by Capt. VIM. Rowlett, situated
about six or eight miles from Tucson, some Apach-
es, on Their way. to the mountains, from this
place, succeeded in driving off a valuable mule,
owned by Messrs. Caproa and Stevens and two
horses the property Of Mr.. Robert Phillips. They
y were followed BY two persons. who had the stock
IN IN, charge, and at the top of high mountain.
where they had succeeded in catching the mule
and horses, they had rested and finished drinking
bottle of mescan, which had been purchased in
Insson. They left the bottle. and continued
who have had stock at that ranch, on account Of
fine grazing, are now obliged to drive it in as
there is no safety any distance from this place.
A few days since some Apaches, to show the little
fear they have for Americans, believing they will
protect them in their robberies, no matter nom
whom, came into Tucson, one Of them riding yaIp-
able and well-known mule the property Of Col las.
Douglass, deceased, which was stolen from linn
some months since, before his death. Notwith-
standing the property of an American, and we'll
known by many of our citizens as having been
stolen, yet, sooner than take the mule from these
| thieves, it was purchased from them at the full
price they receiving some fifteen dollars in mer-
chandise and ten dollars in cash. fs m
We have received the gratifying intelligence that
Col Bonneville has issued orders for an Immediate
campaign against the Apaches. We are pleased
to see this action the part Of the Department of
New Mexico; having suffered so long from con-
tinned neglect, we had almost despaired Of any
further protection to our lives and property.
Col. Bonneville in this, though tardy, acknowl-
edgment of our real necessities, has won the
thanks and gratitude Of our citizens. We UNDER
stand orders have been sent to Fort Fillmore to
the commanding officer, for Lieuts. Mcneil, Lord
and Holland, with 140 men of the dragons and
rifles to report themselves to Lieut.. Col. Reeves,
at Fort Buchanan. The force will be increased
with sixty men of the dragons from the latter
post. They are ordered to center on the San Pc
dro river, from which point they will advance into
the Indian country. This is the only effectual way
to treat with the thieying Apaches, and we trust
the campaign will be so continued, until through
fear and punishment they are brought to sue for
peace. --f...5l l57is3f SIS is55.ss
