From The Arizonian Of the a6sh ult. We extract
| the following;
We have been favored, through the kindness Of
George ". Jacobs. Esq, agent q the Overland
Mail Company, with the perusal pf private letter
received from Capt. j. W. SwilIing, in command Of
the ella Rangers, since their return from the lata
expedition against the Tonic Apacfes Their suc-
cess, thus far, has been complete and satisfactory
and with the renewal Of the campaign as ia inten-
ded, there is a prospect Of speedy determination
of ateast one tribe Of Indians, and the opening OF
u COUNTY, IOE SettiEfueut unsurpassed Tor grazing
and agricultural advantages, besides Astounding,
from appearances. in minerals Of all kinds. From
the letter before Us we gather the following parti
culars:
The expedition left their camp on he Cha river
on the 9TH inst, accompanied BY an auxiliary force
of Marie0pa warriors, and proceeded ID company
with them TO point INV, about fourty five miles
from the junction of the Salinas and CHA riyers I'm
to this time they had not discovered any signs Of
Apaehes. The Maricopas knowing but little Of the
country beyond, Capt SEilling was obliged Ii send
ahead spies 70 reeonnoiter. They discovered
stream Of water running in q SSW. direction, and
signs of Apaches reading along it also, tracts Of
mules, horses, and horned cattle, coming from the
South. Fifty Indians were sent in advance, with
orders not to attack, if they came in sight Of d
rancherie, until the Americans came up; hut not
withstanding these express Instructions discover
ing camp Of eight or ten Tohtos, shortly after
ward, they rushed in, killing one andstaking three
prisoners, the remainder making their escape. The
thickness of the tinber--ash and other varieties-
prevented further pursuit.
The party continued up the stream-which il
nearly the size Of the San Pedro--for three days,
and found some seventeen rancheros, all deserted.
At this point. having advanced some sixty miles
since they first struck the river, the Maricopas de-
clned to follow, the weather being too cold and the
party short OF ratiens; they received friendly farce
well, and took their departure. The Americans
1 continued on, with the determination to find the
head Of this new stream Of water, but had not ad-
| vanced more than thirty miles before they came
4 upon large rancherie Ut Apaches. Their posi-
4 tion in o narrow canon, being favorable for de-
4 fense they found the indians prepared for d hight
1 and as only a few Of the party engaged at time,
] the officer in command ordered a small force to
make an effort TO outiank them, while he, with the
rest of the men, made an attack in front. The In
4 dians, some forty IN number made desperate re-
sistance, sending their in all directions but
as as the Sharp's rifles and the shotguns came
into play, they changed their position to the side
Of the mountain, and were soon afterward routed.
| They left thirteen dead ON the feldl-fye were
| taken prisoners. The following property was re-
covered: One California horse, q fine large mule,
an ak, several yards Of domestic goods, number
of plated rings belonging to harness, with tbs usual
assortment of Indian traps to be found in large
rancherie. Their stock was supposed to be farther
up the stream.
While the main body was fighting in front, Lieut.
Nilsson, who had the pack train and loose animals
in charge, was also attacked, but succeeded in
driving them off. Two Of the party were slightly
| wounded by arrows, also two horses. From the
limited quantity of ammunition remaining. together
with the loss Of the services of the wounded, and
the increased number required to guard the pris-
| oners, Capt. swiEng decided to return TO the Ma
/ rieopa " ellis. in his letter, he expressed his
/ thanks to Col. Shatton and Capt. Montoith for the
/ valuable services and advice rendered him.
