OF the ISth,nst. was duly received by mail
by its subscribers this nscrning. Wcrcgard
it as most excellent number-reIhete with
LEGAL news. 1t eyinces great energy and en-.
tcrprise. Now that Headquarters Of the De
Jartmcnt Of Arizona are at Prescott, there is
an unusual degree Of interest by our people,
particularly among the Army, to see your
paper every week, in order to learn the move
ments going on in the Department. As a
consequence Of this, | presume you have
placed naany new subscribers on your rolls
lately.
We read, with feelings Of horror, your
"correctcd account" OF the Wickenburg
| Wholesale Massacre. The conduct of those
cooler-headed men who prevented n retaia-
ton upon the Indians on the Date Creek
Reservation is commondable. They were
wise in allowing the matter to pass into the
hands Of the prudent and iudicious Depart
ment Commander who i. fsny able to cause
the establishment OF the guilty ones, in the
the most eIcctual aud proper manner.
APRorOS OF THIs,

| Herman Bendcll, Esq, who has recently re-
turned to Arizona City, from the East, states
that he has regarded the Indians who are
supposed TO have been the agents OF tbe
/ Wickenburg slaughter r. Apache Mohaves-
just as hostile rs the Tonic or Pinal Apaches
! That when he visited the Mohave Reserva-
ton last summer, he found the Apache Mo
HAYES almost in a state of mutiny, and could
only suppress them for while by refusing TO
give them any provisions unless they obcyed
the Agent. lie further says that, a good
sound, thorough whipping is what they need
before they can be brought to permanent
submission; and he cited the case OF the
| lumas, who, since the terrible thrashing
they received some years ago, have not dared
to make war against the whites.
WILL ASSIST Us.
IL seems that Arizona can count on the rs
sistance and influence of Hon. w. H. Clagett.
of Montana, who promises TO cooperate with
our own Delegate in Congress, in relation TO
| Indian matters. Mr.. T.. writes to Mr. John
WATSON, of the Tucson Ciisea, from Keokup,
Iowa, Oct. 80, as follows:
! Although your Territory is far distant
from mine, the interest of all the Territories
are identical on the Indian question, and
there should be a unity of purpose and
action on the part Of the several Delegates
! You can rely upon my aid in supporting the
policy OF General Crook which Will of course
be support TO your people. know Of too
many men who have been murdered by those
( Apaches, and over too long time, to believe
that any peace can be made with them until
they have been well tbrashed. will 90 TO
Washington IN a few days"
MAIL RogIE SEEAED.
A petition is in circulation by the citizens
of Sonota Valley, addressed to Delegate Nc
Cormick, asking him To iateycede with the
proper Department at Washington, 10 have
established a mail route from Tabac TO theiY
settlement, and hove post office located
there. Their request seems reasonable, IL
is only 80 miles from Tubac TO their valley.
IL is claimed that the proposed route would
be the most economical one ~ whsh to
reach the new office and Crjttenden. There
is weekly mail hence to Tubac. As mat
tiers now stand, military express, over a
route OF % miles, accommodates the troops
and citizens in that quarter.
