INDIANS AS RAScHERos-Thc Santa Fe Ga. :
zette of July 3Oth, has the following item, which |
well confirms the wisdom and success OF General
Carleton's plan of dealing with the Navsjos, and
must go far to quiet the apprehension that they
could not be made an industrious and producing
people:
We learn from Mr.. Denman, who has just re-
turned from the Bosque kedondo, that the crops
that are being cultivated by the Navajo Indians
ION the reservation there are 10 the most -four.
ishng condition. and that the yield this fall will
be- large one. There are nearly three thousand
acres Of corn under cultivation, which Mr. Den.
man says looks better than any be saw on the
route from here to the Bosque. Besides corn,
there are beans, pumpkins and melons growing
10 large quantities. The Indians are reported
perfectly contented and do their labor without
complaint. They seem cheerful at the prospect
before them, and there can be no doubt but they
will make the best reservation Indians on the
continent. Their intelligence aud the exper.
ence they have heretofore had 10 labor, planting
and stock raising, peculiarly adapt them TO the
mode OF life which il has been determined they
shall follow. Next year their vineyards and
fruit trees will be fairly started. Gen. Carleton
has taken pains TO furnish them with the best
grape cuttings that were to be had on the Rio
Abajo, and IN such quantities as will, 10 few
years, make the vineyards of the Bosque Redon-
do as celebrated for the value Of their products
as are those of any other portion OF the Terrific
ry. Fruit trees adapted TO the latitude, will be
furnished as they can be obtained Judging
from present indications, therefore there is moth,
ing to prevent that reservation from becoming q
garden spot in reality, and permanent happy
home for tribe which heretofore has been no
inadic in its habits and hostile to the people 10
/ all parts OF New Mexico.

couraged and it is the more aggravating that The
sniyeers are, as we make nd doubt is the fact
10 this instance, men who have taken no pains
TO see the country, and who are as incompetent
to speak Of its merits or dement's as an infant
at the breast. 10 be appreciated Arizona must
be taken as whole With considerable desert
country, we have the choicesv agricultural and
pastoral and timber lands and our mineral re-
sources are unsurpassed in the world as a few
short years will demonstrate beyond all cavil.
Moreover, va have climate everywhere health
iul in the extreme, and throughout Central Ari-
iona, more agreeable at all seasons than any in
Europe and, we believe, than any in Christ
endom. The Territory will, be O populous
and wealthy State long before such fellows as
the Tribune correspondent learn how to tell the
truth, or know good country from poor one.
i a correspondent of the Alta California, writ
ing from San Diego, and giving himself that sig
nature, is SO generally friendly in his illusions to
Arizona that we are not inclined to make much
: OF his occasional errors. An announcement in a
recent letter is too glaring to lie overlooked. 1t
Q is embraced 10 the following paragraph;
1t is reported that General Rawlings has sent five
hundred men to operate in concert with eight hundred
troops under the command of General Gandara from
Sonora and two hundred well armed volunteer miners
!, well armed, against the Indians These troops al
started in May last under orders concentrate some

n Nothing could be more incorrect. Genera

Il no such movement as the correspondent refer
oi to has been heard OF here.
" Another statement of T" San Diego is absurd
Of ly erroneous. 1t is this:

TAKE THEIR SCALPS.

It is generally believed that numerous hostile
Apaches from the country east of the Rio Verde
are encamped between Prescott and Mohave, os
tensibly to gather acorns and other supplies, but
really to perfect arrangements for an attack upon
Prescott. They have for long time been urg-
ing q combination of all the savage tribes to
make certain the destruction of the whites, and
failing in this they now boast Of an early acces
sion of sufficient number of their own people
from the east to enable them to undertake the
work. That they seriously premeditate attack
ing Prescott, in sufficient strength to take off all
our stock, if not to destroy the place and its in
habitants, there is no longer asy doubt. Now
calculated to accomplish anything more than the
robbery of our stock. we think it important that
cur plotting assailants should be visited at once.
ard that in a manner calculated to show them
that they cannot triae with rs. Let the band to
the west Of US be Immediately destroyed.
| Captain John Moss, of Mohave, Indian agent
now here, and who has just had a conference
with the Indians between Mohaye aud this place,
seems to know the precise whereabouts of this
hostile band, and If he will make it known to
/ Col. Woolsey aud his men they will be on the
march at once. We must not wait for the often
sive, but Immediately assume the aggressive, n
we would have our lives aud property secure
While it is desirable to avoid collision with the
friendly Indians to the west Of US, and indeed
with all friendly Indians, it is equally desirable
that our implacable enemies should feel our pow
Ter at once.
Capt. Moss cannot do our citizens bette!
service, nor one for which he will be more CRATE
fully remembered, than by showing them TO tbs
hostile Apaches who are planning our extsrmin
: alton. We will vouch for the result.
Two or three expeditions lately talked OF herr
have been abandoned, owing to doubt as to thu
presence of Apaches in the vicinity. There j
now no good reason for delay in organization ant
defective work with powder and ball.

FALSE REPORTS.

One of the annoyances which all new countries
have to suffer FROM is the twaddle OF self-consti.
tuted correspondents, who, thinking they have
great powers Of description, betake themselves
TO writing Of things of which they know nothing.
Hailing from new region their puerlle produc-
tons are frequently published in prominent
sheets, aud thus made of some consequences. We
find in the New York Tribune letter from Ar
iona, evidently the bantling of some scribbler
who has little if any knowledge of the Territory
and who, as is generally the case with such fell
lows, speaks with complacent and important
mir. After yeHtaring series Of erroneous asser
tons, he winds up by declaring that the mineral
prospects OF the country do not at present invite
any one to it who seeks either wealth or home.
II is through such RUTHLESS croakers that the
Territory is injured AID emigration bither dis.

known as river gold, and is Of superior quality
The largest piece Mr.. Moore saw was valued at
five dollars. The Americans are making from
FIVE to eight dollars each per day, and have at
times made as high as twelve dollars. Shafts
have been sunk 10 the creek to the depth OF
eighteen feet, but without striking the bed rock.
A deeper depth s not ventured at present, ow-

Mr.. Moore and Mr.. McMulIen are very hand
