THE APACHE-M0HAvES.
What They have Promised to Do.

While our faith in Indian promises Is not very great, we, with many other old Arizon- ians, believe that it is good policy to give the hitherto faithless savages a chance to redeem themselves, and we know it to be tho desire of the civil and military authorities that our people should take the Apache-Mo- hayes on trial, awhile. The following cor respondencc, which has been furnished us from Department headquarters, states, plain ly, the "situation:n

He was accom- panied by his principal chiefs and men, but by only few of the women and children. He stated he wished for peace, and asked to be considered by us In future in the same light as the Yumas, Mojaves and Maricopas.
 told him that so long as his tribe remained at peace they would be regarded friendly Indians; that should any of his people misbehaye, they must be brought into this post at once, or his tribe would mn the risk of being punished for their msdceds. That he would bc expected to keep the roads leading from this point to Pres colt, Wickenburg and the Colorado river free from Indians, and should any hostile Indians come in this vicinity he should notify me at once {; to all of which he agreed. told him that his people would be at liberty 10 range over the mountains in this region, in pursuit of game and subsistence, and that the citizens would be noti. ned that his tribe now at peace.

 Commanding Post. In connection with the foregoing, it may be pertinent to this Indian Peace question to state that, on Wednesday last, party of Indians visited the head of Lynx Creek, and robbed several poor white men of their ami mals. They drove of nine head, two of which belonged to L. S. Jenks; and the re- mainder to Charley Taylor, c. Davis, and Jackson Bros. The thieves were followed by a party of whites, but were not over hauled.
 tfhursday) party of 10 Indians were seen by two teamsters, on the Prescott and Williamson Valley road. The teamsters were coming to town with loads of hay, and got within 30 steps of the Indians, who were 0n knoll, beckoning and calling for the white men to go to them. They, of course, didn't go. The Indians didn't attempt to shoot at the whites. One of the Indians spoke very fair English. Some of the Indians were mounted, ,-the teamsters think, upon the animals stolen the day before from Lynx creek.
 It was feared here, during the week, that young Mir. Jackson, of Lower Lynx creek. was killed, while out hunting, by the Indians, but he is alive and we'll.
 Indians are plenty in this vicinity, just Taking all these things into consideration. t is the part of prudence for our citizens to %" heeled," as usual, and be on their guard 'gainst treachery.
