WASHINGTON, July l9.-Private advices from Tue
son. Arizona, to July 2nd state that Gen. Peschira
had arrived at HermOsillo, and announced his in
tention of driving off all the Apache Indians north
of the line, with the Sonora battalion. The revolt

1t is a we-ascertained fact, known to the Indian
Bureau, that very many of the Indian disturb
are Justly attributable to the encrOachment of the
whit the reservations set apart for the Indians
by the general government. The whites having
once obtained possession, there is no way (the
United States military force being small) to dis
possess them; and sometimes, in. consequence OF
their remaining unawfully on the soil, new treaties
have to be made with the Indians, who are thus
continually harassed in their affairs. Owing to
the inadequate number of Indian agents, and con-
sdering the wide extent of country over
which the Indians are scattered, 1t has been
impossible, in every case, to carry out all
Indians favorably by exhibition of our
good faith, and to prevent dissatisfaction arising
from unfulflled pledges. The present commission
er of Indian Affairs Mr.. Greenwood) who is thor
oughly acquainted with the Indian character, and
has always practically showed a warm friendship
for them, WILL it is believed, recommend to the con
sideration of the next Congress such measures
will lead to the carrying into effect of all our treaty
obligations, for the fulfment of many of which
no appropriations have vet been made and this is
especially the case to those with the Indians of
the State of Oregon and the Territory of Washing
