The St. Loais Republican publishes the fol-
lowing letter from Tubac, dated March %: .,.
In my letter Of last week 1 gave you an no.
count Of the abduction by Indians Of q white
woman aud child, within thirty miles Of Tubac.
The excitement attending this unhappy event
was intense. The Apachcs. ever since the oc
cupaucs of the country by Americans, have
kept the citizens poor by their repeated deprc-
da,ions; but so long as mere thicving was their
object, tho settlers submitted to the gross me-
glect of Government in denying mn adequate
military force for the protection of their pro-
pcrty, and adopted such measures rs wers In
their power to mitigate the evil. A, During tue
seven years which have elapsed since the ces.
sion Of the Gadsden purchase by Mexico, this
is the only instance Of an attempt ly the Apa-
chcs to carry of capttvcs.
We waited the whole Of Saturday md Sun
day IN anxious suspense, looking for . mes
sengcr from the mountains with Intelligence
from those In pursuit. Meanwhile IL was learn
cd that another party Of Indians had been at
Arivaea on the same day that the women were
abducted from tho Pincry, and had attacked
two Mexican wood-cboppers in the employ OF
the Sonora f. md M. Company, within a milo
Of the hacienda, while returning home. Boil,
wero killed, their bodies literally rlddled will,
arrows and bullets, and their heads almost dis
severed from their bodies by an AK. . }.
The Indians carried Off tho axes Of the muir.
dcrcd men, and stole thirty head Of CATTLE
When the alarm was communicated nt henl
quarters, seven men were sent out In pursuit
with orders to follow tho Indians as long n,
their animals could stand up. Information o
this foray reached Tubac on Sunday afternoon
and Mr.. Lathrop assembled the Mexican popu
lation in the plaza, and informed them OF tht
outrages which had been committed, md tht
urgent necessity which existed of every mn,
holding himself In readiness to enter the field
as " volunteer to aid in the rc-capturc of III,
woman aud girl. Representing an interest q

All who would agree to join Captain Ewel

while gone, and upon their return he woul,
give employment to those who desired II. q

claim to the stock stolen during the late fora
ut Arivaca, or any other animals bearing stl
company's brand that might be seized by N
party. All stock taken by the party TO
divided equally among the volunteers, Amer
cans and Mexicans sharing alike. Over twcnt
, men agreed to go, and the crowd adjourned I
