 Since oug last, the Indian alarm has rather in- creased than eubsided, although we know no good reason for it. An attack on Sheldon'a Ranch. 9 miles South of here, on Wednesday of last week, was attended with DO great benefit to the red-men They unfortunately killed Mir Cos grove, who was in charge Of the herd, and ran of dozen or more cattle. The troOps sent from here faw days besore, under Sergeant Ashby, are said 10 have behaved hrayely, and ara still scouting Chat part Of the country. Twenty-Five men under Iieut TaYlor hastily dispatched from here on the receipt of 5ae news of the attack have rasugned They visited Bynz Creek and other points, but saw no Indians. Robert Groom Fsg., of the Upper Hesiampa, was furnished pro- visions from this post, for company of niners and others with which he started ID pursuit. ol tbe h. dians immediately after their visiG So SheIdono; but for some reason, the party did not go further than to Woolsey's ranch We believe they con sdsred that the red thieves had 50 much the ad- vance of them that pursuit would be of no avail. Familiarity with the country and an expertness in driving cattle, give the Apaches an immense advantage if they have the least heaaway They will keep animals upon the run wheFs the whites find # difficult @ keep sheaa Gpoa thei: legs.
 Petitions having been sent to the Governor from the Lower Hesiampa and from Lynx creek for military protection until it is known that the eavsges are no longer in the vicinity Major Willis has determined to scatter 6 pcftion of bia command throughout those districts, and the Upper Hesiampa. This will, we trust, eatioly tue miners that they may prosecute their labors without fear of further moestation. Moreover they will be pleased to know that formidable and well equipped expedition, is to start out on Tuesday morning next under King Woolsey, Esq. whose experience and success in Indian fighting have gained him an excellent reputation.
 He visited Fort Wbpple few days since, iu company with Captain Walker, and volunteered to lead company of sixty men in campaign o from thirty to fifty dave against the Pinal Apa. cbes By order of Assistant Inspector Genera Davis, nations will be furnished from this post and in view of the importance of the expedition the Governor has made Mir. WOosey an aid upor lis staff, with the rank of Lieut.. Colonel.
 Nr. Woolsey expects the cooperation of e number of the AIaricopa Indians, and hopes to deal the Finals a blow which will deter them from farther depredations in thls vicin ity.
 h view of these vigorous measures we trust we shall hear no more of persons leaving the mines from an apprehension of annoyance from the Indians. We believe the country will be entirely safe for residence and labor, and that provisions may soon be had at reasonable rates We know that both the civil and military autho. rites have determined to do all in their powe, to protect both life and property, and that the, will not listen to the idea of abandoning so nro. missing part of the country, because of in, outrages of few vagabond savages. They vii unite in dealing them blow after blow until the, iind this part of the Territory quite too warm co tbem, and we have reason to believe that tn, same policy will be pursued in the Southerl couutry The subjugation of the Apaches is necessity to the peace and prosperity of the Ter itory to which happily our authorities and peo pie are now fully alive
