 The north fork rises in the Mogollan aoI'I

 THE INDIANS.
 Had no, changed much since last we ,,v
 them, in ls6G, but we missed some familiar
 faces, and as the members of the trile prrssp,
 could give no straight account of theirxAerf.
 abOuis, the conclusion forced itself upon 2,
 that they bad fallen while rAiding upon ,i,
 whites. The supposiiion was current ihit
 all the Indians around the post were Coyotero Apaches, which may be correct, We e,geuh. ted about the post considerably during ,l. evening of our firSt day there, and glsarsd
 some facts regarding our red brethren and iA.
 country, the relation of which may prove b teresting to our readers; Firt, ihei, orr informanis, who appeared to be pretty Erl , posted, assured Q. that tbe CoyoteTo bad es tribe numbered Beariy six thousand sos., | 500 of whom might he sIsssed a. warr0n, , but we think this an over-estimaie. Tksy ] have four principal chsfs; Ekelihesaa, , whose chiefiaincy came down 10 bln froz
 his ancestors, Pedro, Miguel, and ct4si'a Capitait. Miguel has tut one eye, bui sss' aces to see clearer with that than do an! d , bis brother chiefs with their two eyes. h word. he is by far the shrewdest, ablest lBd-
 an Of the tribe. The Coyoteros profess io t'
 at peace with the whites, but those who knoS then, best, look upon this profession as god e joke. Eskelthesala and his follower h''' ' for years been friendly to us, not Tor any b'' they have for us, bu. from motives oi Po.'sy and no trucr idea of l,c seDtiInen'A ol '-' majority of the tribe can be given than 'A' < fact that Eskelthescla, whom they once N' I ercnced, and styled .Capitan Grsnde, hi' P sank into insignifeance and disrcPute aInong h them. Yet, we have some faith in the peae. . ful professions of most of the leading ehlei' and believe we can ally them to US by ifesii: them squarelY and properly that s y Aeep ing q respectable number of troops ID ihsi ' country, assisting them 10 raise crops anc I's Y furnishing them with medicines, and sssAi that they stay at home, and do not steal ass ' on expeditions When all this ts done iA'
 Coyoteros may act honestly. Iheir eo1h''! ' is a delightful one, and to their credit O J < said, they are passiOnately fond ol II. w l. where you will through ii, you will tna peI

T opinion will soon be abandoned we nVP V SO, at all events, for it is cheaper, oe'a Y u the country to feed and ciSiiiIe tseni 's.A
