The Apache in Theory and in
 Reality.

Vincent Colyer, in an address before the Peace Society meeting at the East few days since, drew moving pie ture of the unhappy condition of "the starved Apaches, of Arizona, showing the wrongs those unhappy people have suffered at the hands of the settler, and their ardent desire to live in peace and friendship with the whites" ANew York contemporary naively remarks that MT. Colyer's estimate of the Apache character, differs apparently quite widely from that of the white settlers of Arizona" ," Quite hkelyl
 To frontiersmen familiar with the Apache character and history, MT. Colyer's touching picture of the poor Apaches, so intensely anxious to live on terms of peace and friendship with their white neighbors, will appear like satire of the finest descrip- tion. He sees in the Apache the traditional good Indian of Cooper, while the settlers of Arizona have learned at a terrible cost to look upon him from practical standpoint, and in very different light. The Apa- ches would appear to have had natu- rally large capacity for having been wronged and outraged" All Central Arizona Is dotted over with the ruins of Aztec cities, villages and mining camps, the inhabitants of which were exterminated or driven southward into the Valley of Mexico by the relentless Apaehes before Christopher Columbus discovered America. The Spanish maps of the date of the reigns of the English queens, Anne and Elizabeth, show the Apaches located there, just where they are to-day, and their his- tories show that they carried on the same relentless warfare then upon all their neighbors, white and red, that they carry on today. Their nature and their customs certainly have not changed in the last three hundred years, and we must look deeper than Vincent Colyer for the causes which have made them for all time Ishmael- ties, outcasts and pariahs in the world. The settlers of Arizona are not imma- culate; they arc simply human, and we know that they are not always right, but they merely succeeded to quarrel with all mankind, begun by the Apaches before the first European set foot on the continent, and whether they will or no, must in self defence fight it out to the bitter end.-( (San Francisco Bulletin.

how much? and quote the Twenty fourth Article of War. We may in ouire whether under the Third or any other Article of War, Lieutenant Royal E. Whitman is authorized or justified in speaking of any people as "the G-d d-d citizens of Tucson z"
 Suppose the investigation Whitman seems anxious for, should be made and would lead to his indictment be- fore Grand Jury, and show him to be an unfit officer, a falsifier, an excessive drinker, gambler, and a violator of the Articles of War, would it be our fault, or would any injustice or dis credit be done the public service?
 And suppose we continue our in- vestigations of Whitman in other re- spects?

Another Enemy of the People.

Under the caption of "A Border Outrage" we find the following defence of thieving and murdering savages. We have sufficiently com- ,nented on the subject in hand, to have our readers familiar with the false hoods in the annexed. We want to preserve such specimens, therefore give it place.
 To the Editor of the Army and Navy Journal-Sir l think that Justice and humanity require that the particulars of an outrage perpetrated by the citizens of Tucson, Arizona Territory, upon a band of friendly Indians residing in the neighborhood of this post, and under the protection of the United States, be laid before the public. Notwithstanding the we'll known fact that these Indians had been peaceable for over two months, they were attacked at day break on the 3Oth of April, and some sixty-fve of their number killed and thirty five taken prisoners Of the number killed, all but eight were women and children. The remnant who escaped have nearly all come in to camp from the moun- tains, where tAey fled for safety. They express themselves satisfied that we knew nothing of the affair until it waa too late to help them. and only ask for protection and military aid towards the recovery of their captives. feel no hesitation in denouncing the whole affair as an insult to the Govern ment, whose honor was pledged for the safety of ths SC people, and most cowardly and brutal murder.

AN EXCELLENT ORDER.

Superintendent Pope, of New Mex ico, will please observe the following instruction by General Crook, sent throughout this Department, and which will soon appear as regular order:
 Hereafter no officer in this Department will make peace with or issue ratiOns, eX- cept when in close confinement, to any In- dianS in this Department, now hostile, without authority from these headquarters or higher authority.
 The wisdom of this order IS obvious to every man possessed of a correct idea of Indian war. Tom, Dick, Harry, Royal, John and Pope must not be permitted to make their Posts recruiting stations for hostile Indians. The unconfined Indian must not be allowed to play peace and promote war at the same time. Parts of hos tile bands must not be allowed free in- tercourse with, and aid at, military Posts, and have communication with the remainder at war.
 The purpose of this order is to com pei the families of warriors and the in- firm ones to have homes in the mount aims, so as to enable the military to strike the trail of the warriors going to and from them-the only sure way to find and compel them to fight. The unwarranted action of Colonel Pope has quite likely thwarted the plans of General Crook, which ere many months would have brought Cachees to his last battle. He has relieved Cachees of the dangerous duty of sup plying his warriors families, and made it almost impossible to catch him. He and his band can now slip around among and hide in the rocks with the facility of sagebrush lizards.
 No man understands the Indians or his strength and weaknesses better than General Crook, and tn. instruc- ton we quote was the incipient step to a lasting peace. Colonel Pope has no right to meddle in Indian affairs in this Department, and especially to thwart the movements of the military. If we understand the desire an1 in- structions of the Administration, they are that Indian Agents and Superin- tendents shall confne their acts to peaceable Indians m reserves, and the military their acts to hostile Indians. We trust that Pope will read up and act accordingly.

SCALPS AND AwARDS.--Lieutenant Bourke informs us that a party of Sonorans, about the middle of last month, killed ten Apaches and took two women prisoners. The affair oc- cured near the line south of San Pedro. The victors proceeded to Ures, the Capital of Sonora, where they re- ceived $500 per head-according to the contract of the State Government.

Gen. Granger dolng Good Work.

On the 18th ultimo, on the Staked Plains, about fifty miles from Hub bells Ranch, Captain Randlett, Sth Cavalry, captured a pack train of twenty-three burros loaded with powder, lead, cloth, trinkets, etc., en route to the Comanche country. In obedience to orders, the animals were killed and the property destroy ed. Twelve prisoners were captured, one Comanche squaw who was guid- ing the train to the Comanche camp. one warrior, tribe unknown, and ten Mexicans; the latter claim to be res- idents of Santa Fe, San Miguel and Mora.
 On the following day, Capt. Rand lett captured five hundred and ten head of cattle coming from the Comanche country in charge of a party of traders, all of whom but one escaped. The prisoners and cattle are now at Fort Bascom in charge of the military authorities.
 We trust that the good work may go on until this nefarious trade is most thoroughly broken up. It has long been disgrace to our Territory, and the cause of untold loss and suffering to the frontier settlers of Texas. Let the troops be kept in the field, and summary justice be meted out to all traders found in the Indian country, and in short time they will find out that the profits attending such unlaw- full expeCiitisns will not compensate for the risk incurred.

Authorized Agents for The Citizen
Lieutenant Royal E. Whitman.

As this officer signalized his entry into Tucson by round of beastly drunkenness and dishonorable gamb-
 ling citizens were warranted ill look ing upon him as disgrace to the United States service and unfit to pos sess official power, more especially when that power immediately affected the lives and property of the people. As an officer, he commands our atten- tion as a journalist; as citizen, he would hardly have sufficient difference pad to him i'll Police Courts to be dubbed John Doe Or Richard Roe. Our readers are quite familiar with this mans play with the Indians, but they will know still more.
 In one of his official reports touch ing the Grant massacre, dated April 30th, Lieutenant Whitman states that he received Captain Dunn's dispatch Ca little before s o'clock A. M.," and that he " immediately sent a party to the Indian camp"
 Now, Whitman, we are prepared to prove that you at first expressed dis belief that Captain Dunn's dispatch represented a real truth, and that you deliberated on 1t for at least one hour before you "sent a party to the In dian camp" Did Dunn's hastily sent, frank and curt dispatch require an hours deliberation for you to compre- bend 1t? or were you a coward! or were you anxious the deed should be committed so you could increase your railing and slandering of citizens :? We have statement in our possess sion to the effect that on one occasion at least Whitman gave party of h. dians liquor at his own quarters, and we are confident the statement can be proven to the satisfaction of any just Court and jury. If he violated law ill this particular, may he not have done so ill many others!
 We are informed, and we believe our information to be correct, that by Whitma1's verbal orders-in the ab- sence of Captain Stanwood-Indians were allowed all liberties about camp, even to entering apartments of the troops, examining and disarranging their effects, etc. One man was obliged to chain cross dogs at his door to keep the Indians away, as Whitman had given orders to sentries when on post duty at night, not to challenge Indians. We are advised that on the way to the slaughter ground, a soldier was dismounted by Whitman and an Indian placed on the horse and permitted to ride into the mountains; that two buck Indians were mounted on two quartermaster' animals, escorted nine miles distant by two soldiers, the latter returning when the Indians directed, and said Indians continued on into the mount ains.
 We might inquire whether there was filth made by Indians in Whit mans quarters, which his soldier servant refused to clean out? We might still further ask if Whitman told the Indians they were his dear est friends, and if so, why? We un- .derstand that he does not curse the soldiers much," and we may inquire

Agricultural Lands in Arizona.

Agricultural Lands in Arizona.
 Certain of Stoneman's defenders and libelers of the citizens declare again and again that Arizona is desert waste, fit for neither man nor beast, and neither could nor would reside here after the military were taken away. Such craven ibelers are expected to as grossly misrepresent the value of the Territory as they do the people who are determined to occupy it.
 Now wa know there are millions upon millions of as good agricultural lands in Arizona as the best in Illi- nois, and from the truest of informa- tion, we are as we'll convinced that there are many millions of as rich lands of which we have no personal knowledge. There are surveyed on Gila and Salt rivers forty-six town ships, over one half of which is first rate agricultural land, and the fine crops just harvested are the proof. At Gila Bend, where travellers gen. erally say there may be few thou sand acres of passable soll, we know there are over 12O,OOO acres of rich land surveyed and ready for pre- emtion. Some of this land can be ir- rigated cheaply, and all of it easily at some expense. The Gila Ditch Company are pushing forward work on canal that will irrigate many thousand acres, and they will com- plete it with little or no cash on hand. When once done, crops in that locality are assured each year. Within few miles on the Gila at this point, are over 120, 900 acres of fine land. About Sanford and Florence there Is much brolder area of like lands. The Gila river is about 300 miles long in Ari- zona. and at many points there are from 50,OO0 to 100000 acres of the richest soils with abundance of water at hand. There is probably half million acres near Arizona City. There are millions of acres of the choicest corn, barley and wheat lands in the many valleys about Prescott, and they are we'll watered, with good quality of timber adjacent and ill abundance. The Santa Cruz valley stretches almost from the Gila to So- nora; and contains over half 8 mil lion acres, considerable of which has produced crops for one hundred years, and the soil is wonderfully productive at this day-a crop of barley or wheat and corn being produced on the same lots each year. The Sonoita valley forms junction st Calabasas with the Santa Cruz, and embraces many thousand acres of superior soils. The San Pedro valley is over one hundred miles in length and unquestionably covers million or more acres of good land. The Little and Main Colorado, Verde and other streams flow through the best of lands. All and more than we have mentioned are susceptible of irrigation without artesian wells. It Is almost certain that the grazing lands, which are not excelled in Amer ica cover over 100000 acres.
 This brief reference to Arizona lands will introduce series of articles upon the subject.
