OUR WAR

Governor Stafford is expected back fror
 Washington and may arrive at any moment
 his visit there has been productive of muc
 good Acting in concert with our indefatiga
 0ls and active Delegate the attention of Con
 gfess has been fairly aroused to sense Of dat
 ana Jastlee with regard to Arizona. and VI
 may hope that the present session will. befor,
 'ts adjournment, pass bill to grant the Gov
 ernors request for arAs, ammunition and ra.
 ti0ns for his S2,OsO militia.
 This foreo operating against the Indians and acting in concert with the regular troops will change the aspect of our Indian difficulty with astonishing rapidity. The San Luis Obispo
 Tribune speaking of this volunteer force very truly renarkg:-
 What can regular troops, drilled to the prac- siss OF standing in line, and shooting at a tangible object, and to that alone, do against 8 skulking foe that never makes head in the open field? What can an army corps, with it's long train of wagons, do against an eaemy "hishsmoves with the feetness of the wind 1? What can Uncle Sans chronic beef and pork eaters dc against the active Indian, stunning open combat, and Snly showing himse If when the enemy ia to be taken at . disad- vantage?
 "GovsruOr Stafford is right. The Indian must be met by his own tactics Men trained in Indian fighting, armed with the most improved weapons, unincumbered by the usual impedi- 'aeatG of war, actuated by the determination 0 protect theirown homes and Gresides picked >at among their fellows as the most competent CT this peculiar species of warfare, ard with put little regard fer he tactics which, alIira O ant upon civilized battlefield, are worse han useless in Indian fighting be employ d If the American people over expect to oc- ,upy Arizona"
 This is good, sound, sensible view of the flair, and is, in substance, exactly the man Ter in which Governors HcCorroick and Saf- 1 ord have so zeaiously labored to represent i, 0 Congress and the department. An equal umber of regular troops whs would cast side all superfuous drilling and take to h-whacking after true frontier-man style light, perhaps, accomplish as much as the lilitia in question: but so lnog as party of men puFsuit of those feet footed marauders of rizona, shall be called upon to "fall in accor. ing to size, tc "righ" or 'left dlees," etc st so long will the Apache enjoy an impunity hich will nerve him for fresh depredations henever opportunity offers.
