 kins severed the jugular veins on each side of his neck, and nothing could have saved his life. He was native of Ohio, about twenty five years of age, and an upright, energetic, enterprsing young man. He entered the army at the age of seventeen, and, having re- ceived an honorable discharge in New Mexico, came to this country in 1865, and engaged in the business of ranching in Williamson Val ley. We are informed that his father resides in Cincinnati, and is q man of wealth and standing.
 INDIANS ON THE RoAp.-Mr Chas Spencer mail carrier between Prescott and Beale's Springs. informs us that since the Grand Army of the Colorado" has been hunting ln- dians in the mountains the redskins are be- taking themselves to the valleys, and are quite numerous in the vicinity of the road. He saw their signs in many places; at the Oaks and Willows, where he stopped to water his ami mais, fresh moccasin and pony tracks were alarmingly abundant, and between the Toil- gate and this place he saw the fresh tracks of fifteen Indians. In the canon this side of the
 
 the side of the road, and lain in wait for Charley on his outward trip last week, but q
 lucky notion entered his head to take the old
 road that time, and SO the savages were baked
 of their murierous design. Johnny Donnell,
 coming through the canon day or two after
 ward. saw the Indian Notifications and tum-
 bled them down. To perform the duties of . mail carrier on the route between here and Ilardyville requires an unusual combination , of vigilance, judgment and courage, and MT. } Ballard has been fortunate in securing tho services of men possessing those qualities in 5 high degree. Johnny Donnell and Charley . Spencer never make trip but at the iinmi- nent hazard of their lives; yet they are as 0 punctual in their arrivals and departures ss il
 their route lay through peaceful and popu- e lous region.
 INDIANS AT THE ToLL-GATE.--1he copper skins are becoming unpleasantly familiar r ; the vicinity of the Toll-gate on the Hardy
 vile road. A few days since Mir Bo5lett
 while out on the cieaegq about four miles iron
 his house, saw three Indians, armed with guns -. who appeared to be hunting antelope or othe
 game. As they were equally we'll armed witt
 him, and three to one, he concluded tc le ,. them hunt but, finding cloth containing f quantity of salt, which they had hung up in
 juniper bush, he captured it and brought i
 home A day or two later shot was heart near the Toll-gate, which is believed to hay been fired by an Indian. Mir whitcomt Boblett's partner, says that there are two o
 three rancherias in that immediate vicinag,
 and that if Gen. Gregg will send out part
 of troops with stomach for fight, he wi ,s guarantee to find them one mess of Indians, q
 least. The General has been duly informc - of these matters.
 nd INDIANS HARvEsrING.-We think it yer nd ungenerous in the Apaches to take the live i, of settlers in this country, because. were nd not for the industry and forethought of th ,st latter, Lo and his interesting family would b .rs "poor Indians indeed would in fact, b m. hard put to it for their Winters supply c in provisions, but for the horses, mules, hornet ad cattle and corn so seasonably provided b, Ilv their generous white neighbors. For som of weeks past the Apaches have been harvesting in corn, and the ranches in all the settlement he involpntarily contribute to il the gamers O mo John Apache, who like the "austere man cs mentioned in Scriptural paragraph, reap he eth where he hatl not sown and gatheretl nat where he hath not strewn." Some field e,, have been tithed by his August Redness, an, ed one, at least, the property of Mir. Taylor, a no Walnut Grove, has been utterly despoled-. ,v there is not corn enough left in it to winter ,ts mouse. To ;he credit of the Apaohes. an, ;r for the encouragement of agriculture. we.tak
 pleasure in saying that the red foragers usu io- ally leave the ranchnen the stalks for thei lth trouble.
 A FALSE REPoRT.--The statement pub
 lished by us last week, to the effect that tn
 Indians had run off thirty-six horses from tn ay ranch of Messrs Cargyle & Ingraham, at Wal 'n- nut Grove, was untrue. Our informant wa of Mir. Cargyle, who happened to be in town a he the tune of the alleged occurrence, and hear 'n- the story from man named Smith, who pre- pm tended to have been at the ranch. Mir. Car In- gyle believed the story, and was much dis to heartened on account of his supposed loss h We have plenty of truthful tales to relate O
 Indian outrages and spoliatiOns, without re OK sorting to disagreeable fietons.
 MAIL CARRIER MURDERED.-On Monday ,a the 7th inst, NIT. Thomas Mulligan, mail car ,ed rier between this place and Tucson, was at bo tackled and murdered by Indians, a few mile ;, beyond Fort McPherson. When shot he wa n little in advance of his escort, who turne, s,y their horses and galoped back to the For
