 MR WOOSTER arrived from Tubac on Monday and from him wo learn the details of Apache exploits ia his locality On the 2Oth inst $ band ofApaches secreted in wood bordering the field in which he was working, and doubts less watching for an opportunity to take him in were disappointed in the pursuit of their cheri.hed objec; by the arrival at his ranch of four Papago Indians Mir Wooster leaving his work and going over to speak 10 the latter (friendy) Indians. After few minutes spent at the ranch the Papagos mounted their hor- ses and rode away, and happening to pass the thicket in which the Apaches were secreted were fired upon and one of their uum5er killed. The reminding three galloped back to tho ranch and arrived just as 20 Papagos, leading their horses packed with corn, come up.

 ANOTHER D DlscovEEY-SoME TRUrn IN MrxI- CAN LEGESDs:-There exists among our Mexi- can population various legends regarding the existence iii several localities of wonderful deposits ofthe precious metals So thorough is the confidence which prevails with regard to the truth of these stores that parties of men start out rem time to lime in search of the
 localities, ,--every rock and tree by which they are to be guided 10 the treasure, being clearly set forth oy the account verbally handed down from their ancestor. We are inclined to think that many Of those tales have DO foundation whatever, but believe that the great majority of them is founded upon fact We are we'll aware thata story in travelling undergoes many changes from the time that it has been com

But one of these expeditions, which left here last week, has been rewarded with the most com plete success, The existing mining sensation having imparted centagon to some Of the native population, two men under its influence staited out about days ago, one taking Q pan and the other pick.

Here were indications of work in former years; so filing the pan with the soil, they proceeded to an adjacent spring and, after carefully washing away the earth found among the residue several particles of gold. They remained there during the night and until noon next day when they returned, bringing gold dust to the amount of $ll A large party of men left for the locality on We'd nesday.
 GOVERNOR SAFFoRD arrived on Wednesday afteran absenceo of several months, during which time his efforts on behalf of this Territory, aided by those of Mccormick, have done much toward placing Arizona before the eyes of the world, as she really exists. His mos, cherished object, that of procuring mili- tary aid for the purpose of carrying on an active and vigorous war against the Apache Indians although not attained to the letter, has not proven an absolute failure, Both the Presi 1 dent and the Secretary of War are in sympathy with our suffering people-thanks to the repre- sentatious of our Governor and Delegate-and l iftroops can, atany timewithin the present year,
