 made two attempts 10 commit murder, both
 of which, fortunately, proved failures. One
 of these attempts was made on John White
 while he was proceeding from Peoples Val ley to Walnut Grove But John having seer the sayages fired first upon them, wounded one and then retreated to Peoples Valley.

 From the foregoing, with accounts of other outragcs recently published by us, people outside of Arizon. will he able to form pret- ty correct idea regarding the "peace," which Colyer asserts he made with the Apacbes, while he was out here giving them presents. And, again. these acts of the savages prove that they prefer stolen food to that which the Government has in store for them, if they would but stay upon their reservations and be halfway decent; all of which impels the belief-which some wel-meaning people have" that it is cheaper and better to feed Apaches than to fight them."
 But we will close this lengthy article with a pertinent extract from the Record, of Sacra- mento, which paper, by the way, can have no interest in prolonging any Indian War, much less war with the Apaches. That paper says:
 The news from Arizona is not encouraging. The caamitous effects of the humbug Colyer's visit have not ceased to operate, and the silly trucking policy which he inaugurated has only served to render the Apaches more inso- lent than ever, and to make life and property still less secure. The Indians scarcely take the trouble to conceal their contempt for a Government which they have come to regard as afraid of them, and the military arm is so hampcrcd by the interference of the Colyer school of miscbief-makers that it has been found impossible to keep the tawny ,ascals in check. Reports of fresh murders are con stant. The Indians are stealing horses, com- hitting daring depredations upon stock ranches and all the time collecting ammunl- ,ion and making their preparations for their retreat to the hills, whence they will issue upvn d Srueral war. 50 uncertain IS prop erty, life and enterprise in that Territory that the Arizona press warns people not to immigrate thither, and this advice is indnrsed bv correspondents of California journals. It is evident General Crook must have his hands united, and be given full power to deal sum- marily with the Apaches, or the government must make up its mind to abandon the Ter ritory altogether, and give the settlers a chance to escape with the remnant of. their before the country is surrendered to the Indians. The temporizing policy can not be pursued much longer, or if it is We may learn some morning that Cachise has towns and forts, and is practising upon the people of Tucson and Prescott and Wicken- burg the latest refinemcnts of cruelty that have been added to the code of torture at the stake.
 The foregoing was written previous to the breaking, by the Apaches, of the hollow truce made with Colyer, and, of course, be- fore General Crooks hands were united
