Indians-Military.

Since the murder of Dennison and Elwards some three weeks ago, the savages have not. so far as we have been able 10 learn. committed any very serious crime in this vicinity. Mean while they have been quite active around Tucson. in the southern part of the Territory September 2sth. party of Pinal Apaches were all fixed to attack Major Morrow, of the Pay Department Of the Army, who was proceeding from Tucson to Camp Grant. with an escort of men. The sayages were seeFeted behind rocks, on tbe hills, near Canyon del Gro, near where they had for meriy attacked the train of Tully 6 Ochoa The paynas.er and party had almost reached ihe hiding place of the Indians when a Mir. Ortiz, who had charge of a train belonging 10 J. Gold berg & Co, of Tucson, (which encamped close by.) came upon the savages and was instantly shot. Psymaster Morrow and party, and the Mexicans then charged ou the savages, killed 2, and wounded several
 October sth, party of Indian, attacked a herd, near Tucson. were driven of by the herd Messrs. Lee and Ridge. The latter gentleman came near losing his life in the fight. The Indians killed three head of stock.
 The same day, near Camp Crittenden, the savages attacked the train of Mir. Stockton, but were driven of.
 Lieutenant Cushing and command followed the trail of the Canyon del Orc Indian party, which led northward towards Pinal Mountain, but up to this writing, ali that had been heard from him was that the Indians had wounded two of hi. men, while the troop was watering the horses a.I t-. H...~ Grant, and Gushing dashed of after the Indians His force consisted of about 70 men, nearly al of whom have heretofore distinguished them selves by killing Apaches.
 First Lieutenant E. w. Stone, A. A. A. C., ha received news from Captain Vim. Me c. Netter vile. Fist Infantry, in command of the expedi ton to establish post in the Pinal country The Captain states that he had found splend site for post, in region where timber, water grass and Indians, were quite plenty. and tha he had set the Infantry 10 building log houses the Cavalry to hunting Indians. The troop nnder his command are K, lst Cavalry, Lieu tenant A. J. Barrett. E and l. 2lst Infantry. Lieu tenant Silva and A. A. Surgeon Dods were wit the command. The Finals have said that the would never permit post to be built in thei country, and as they are the braves., most wal like of the Apachea, they may endeayor to driy Netteryile from the country, bat they will fin that an uphill business. General Sloneman el poets good results from this new post, aud " hope his expectations will be realized.
 We believe it to be the Generals iatention 1 push the Indians. from every point. as soon this post Is made SO that few Infantry men ca defend it. Meanwhile, Lieutenant Cushing command. and large party of Cavalry, froi Camp Verde. will be kept in the field, huntin the Reds, and we know that Colonel Sanfsrd, McDowell, is not going to remain idle, whe there " is so much game in the woods"
 Thanks to General sherman and Colon' Ssoneman, the companies are now being file up with recruits-some 300 of whom will hay arrived in the Territory by the middle of Noyen Der, soon after which time, We expect to see gre. activity in our little Army.
 While some of our citizens place great faith the friendly" Mohayes. there are those wh think they have no. beea living up to the agreement with Captain O'Bcirne.
 The pimas. i. is said, are growing meant every day, and the belief is that they will 800 break out in open hostility 10 ihc whites. The depredaliOns on lh. industrious white settlers Salt RiFer have of la,e been many aud grea and. nnless, they are made to cease plunderin and destroying their property blood will | shed. Their naughty, oyerbearng spirit nu be eurbed,
