Domingo and Juan Green, one of our Indian soldiers. Scene by moonlight.
 Lieutenant R. under magnificent tree, reading by the light of candle, (held and shaded by Marichel, a fine
 looking Mexican), the service inter
 preted into Spanish by Francisco, a
 Mexican of importance, and then into Apache by Jose Maria, who has con-
 mand of the Indians, and has done
 we'll. The bride was dressed in white,
 the square completed by soldiers; and
 with squaws in the distance making
 their peculiar sounds over the dead, a
 scene was presented never to be for
 gotten. When suggested that the groom should salute his bride, we were
 told that it was not their custom. After the ceremony, the dance, and supper, prepared by our officiating clergyman, an act not often done by
 that good but poorly paid class of men, can be better imagined than de- scribed. The happy couple then re- tired to their couch, which had been prepared of grass by our Juan; but according to a very decent custom
 which might be we'll initiated by those more civilized, Mrs. Juan Green will remain a-Miss for some days. They, the Apaches, are the most modest and apparently virtuous people I have seen. To see Mrs. Green dismount from her horse, riding man fashion, she will bring her supporting mem bers in English, legs) to one side, tuck her skirts under her, and thus watch her chance, and jump when no one IS looking. A New York Fifth Avenue belle could not put on more style in Central Park.
 The following are the names of some of our soldiers, which may be amusing to you, but jaw breaking for roll calls: Of Miguels tribe-Sir-va- ne-el-ke-en-da, Naw-koo-way, Es-kit- en-law, Chuck, Tlg-in-vee, Ma be-ket- co-lee, Nosh-kill-in-ill-aw, Caw-del- ace; Chiqulto Capitan's tribe-Es-kel- det-to-daw, Aw-shay, Sau-ke-e; Pe- dro's tribe-Tu-good- -nil-go, Nor-go- tel-do-sa, Es-kiss-e-chaw, U-stun-ey; and Tu-de-ga-aw. I have given the easiest names of few.
 On August 30th. after hard days march, we reached Cherry creek, and had the pleasure of meeting Governor Stafford and his party of some POO men. He reports a current belief that military operations have been stopped All l can say Is that great mistake is made. believe in peace, but the Apaches have first to be thoroughly whipped before they can appreciate the blessings of peace. Then and not till then should one be made. Gen. eral Crook comes here, is just getting matters ready for work in the Winter, the only time you can find Indians, as now they are scattered all over the country, and when he Is prepared af- ter an expense to the Government of getting his material, and a certainty of his success, the word comes "Hold on. " No such order has been made so far as known to General Crook, September ED. CITIZEN. We'll, if it is true, it is only one of the many workings of the magic Ring, when once in, you want to hold on. Do not blame General Crook or his troops for the continuance of hostili- tses for years to come. Governor Stafford is quite sanguine of success in finding gold. Even if they do not, his expedition has been quite scout. We will scout the Sierra Anchas. Tonto Creek, and The Four Peaks, and if working hard is the desidera- tum for success, it shall be ours. This will be posted at Mcdowell, and if anything takes place between here and there, of interest, we will let you know as we'll as of other matters if our campaign continues.
 Since writing the above, we have crossed the Sierra Ancha's, by a short cut, losing one mule, which rolled over a precipice and was killed. We dis covered @ wonderful cavern, on creek named from the discovery. Said cav ern is wonderful to behold, large in size, capable of holding 500 Indians and we are told by our guide, that when a prisoner, he lived there with the Indians (good point for this Win ter). One Indian was killed by our allies, who report the Indians as never so scattered or frightened as since General Crooks advent. a*s
