Disturbances on the Border.

From the Los Angeles Express
 We copy today from the San Diego Union an account of a serious affair on the Gila be- tween Sonorian greasers and Arizonian set tiers The Tucson Citizen and Prescott MINER have for some time given warning of the in- cJeasing audacity and threatening attitude of the border ruffians of Sonora, and accounts of their predatory raids upon unoffending settlers, stealing and running off stock and committing various depredations are given in each issue of those journals. It would seem that poor Arizona had her full need of adver- sity in being made the prey of the worst hostile savages in the country and it is no wonder that her persecuted people should rise up in their might and visit condign punish nent upon their more civilized but not less cruel and blood thirsty enemies from Mexico. The military forces in Arizona are insufficient to insure protection from the Indians, and to divert any portion of the troops from that object to repel incursions of Mexican banditti, is only to leave another portion of the Terri tory to the merciless crueltes of the savages.
 From Texas we have still more serious ac- counts of outrages committed on the settlers by bands of Mexican guerrillas, and the Mex can authorities refuse to take cogEiZance of them on the ground that they cannot law fully punish citizens for crimes committed in a foreign country.
 The question now is what shall be done about 1t The present unsettled condition of affairs in Mexico renders the authorities of that country powerless to preserve order along the line if it felt so disposed, and we see no present prospect of a termination of the inter- necine struggle which is devastating the country and scattering anarchy and rapine on every hand. In our opinion the United States Government should at once repeat the exper- iment of '47, when an " Army of Observation '' under Maj. Gen. Taylor was ordered to the Rio Grande for the protection of American interests. A strong military force should be at once stationed at Brownsville and San Antonio, Texas, another at Albuquerque or Fl Paso, and third at Tucson or some other point in Southern Arizona. Such a step would enable us to effectually suppress these marauding incursions of Mexican outlaws and be ready to assume an armed intervention in the affairs of Mexico, whenever our interest dictates such course. The Mexican Govern ment should be held responsible for the out rages committed by its citizens and ample indemnity, sufficient to cover the expense of our defensive measures, must be demanded and received. This seems to us to be the only feasible plan for our protection.

The Newspaper Regulations.

Postmaster General Cresswell has directed the new regulation on newspapers sent by mail to be strictly enforced No name or memorandum can be made on q newspaper inside of the wrapper on which the address is written. It is barely permissible to mark an article with pen or pencil. More than this subjects the paper to letter postage, and the yiolator of this law to fine. No printed card, handbil or advertisement, no written notice, letter or slip of any kind whatsoever must be folded in the paper. To do any of these things is to violate the law. Printed slips pasted on the outside, or folded in pa- pers or periodicals, soliciting notices, are also violations of the law. Senders of transient papers can send bundles of printed matter by weight or transient postage charges, but must not send any written matter in such bundles

Odd Fellowship---Proclamation
 of Grand Master Hill.

The following proclamation has been issued by William II. Hill, Grand Master of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows of the State of California:
 SACRAMENTO, March l2, 1872
 To all the Lodges in this Jurisdiction The anniversary of the establishment of our beloved Order in the United States of AnerIca will again occur on Friday, April 70, Io'Z The Grand Lodge of the United States has recommended that the anniversary be always observed with appropriate services and cere- monies. Most heartily do l concur Tn that recommendation. For more than hali century has Odd Fellowship done its good and noble work in our land. Thousands and hundreds of thousands have felt its benign influences. Many are now enjoying its benefits and it's loving and brotherly care. No one has been made worse by it's teachings or its work. Every State in the Union is blessed with Odd Fellowship and made better by the work of Odd Fellows. Nor has our Order been confined to the American Union. The British American Provinces the Hawaiian Kingdom, the continent and islands Of Aus tralasia, the Empire of Germany, and the Republics of Switzerland and South America are all rejoicing, as Odd Fellowship has come to teach their people the great lessohs oi . common brotherhood, and to do the good works of '' Friendship, Love and Truth. '"
 Brethern, Heaven has smiled upon our Order and Fraternity. We are not only a power in the land, but constantly growing power. Let our influence ever be for good, and nations yet unborn shall call us blest.
 It is fit and proper that we should make the coming anniversary day of thanksgiving and praise, and commend its suitable com memoration to all the Lodges and Brother hood in the jurisdiction. Let no improprieties or excess mark the passing hours. In grati- tude remember Him whose smiles have youch- safed to us the wonderful prosperity of the present and past years. Then we may hope, with full confidence, that the experience of the past will be the sure promise of the future, and that our Order will ere long be established in every civilized nation of the world.
 A dispensation is hereby granted to all Lodges in the jurisdiction to appear in public procession on that day, in the regalia Of the Order.
 FraternaIly yours, in F. L. and T.,
 WM. II. HILL, Grand Master.

The Apaches.

Vincent Colyer made peace with the Apaches and gave them presents and put
 them on reservations, where he left them apparently comfortable and happy. As soon, however. as his back was turned, and they
 knew they would get no more presents, they ouit their reservations and went on the war path. and commenced to rob and to murder with vigor renewed by rest. Colyer found that Lis mission was failure and his peace farce, just as the people of this coast knew it would be before he went there. And this evening, we believe, General Howard is ex- pected to arrive here, who is also charged to make more peace with the Apaches, and his mission, like that of his predecessor, will be a failure and farce. The Apaches, being ig- norant brutes of savages, do not understand why, if we have the power to crush, we should stoop to conciliate, and they treat us accordingly. If the authorities at Washing ton who send these so-called apostles oi peace upon their fruitless and injurious er- rands, could be brought to believe the ex- perience of those who have lived among these murderous red men, and who have escaPeo with their lives. they would know that by
 thorough submission alone, only perhaps to be arrived at upon the verge of exterminatlon, can nermanent peace be secured with the Arizona nomad 1t is waste of money and
 waste of time and, worse than all, waste oi human life and encouragement of rapine and
 murder, to preach peace to such deceitful ana treachcrous sayages. Strengthen the hands
 of General Crook and keep the commissioners
 at home, and we would soon have peace but feed them and pet them and give them pre- enta and the blood of American citizens, fresh Iy and frequently sacrificed, will continue to call for vengeance, and in the end the policy of vigorous warfare will have to be adopted, CT the Territory abandoned by the white settler.-lSan Eancisco Chronicle, March l0tA.

The Army.

The New York Herald says the Military Committed of the House are extensively circu- iating among the army officers circular of inquiry respecting the feasibility and proprie- ty of consolidating the staff corps of the army, such as the Pay and Commissary with the Quartermaster's Department, the Orai- nance with the Artillery and the Inspectors with the Adjutant Generals Department: also whether the direction and control of the staff should not be in the General of the Army instead of the Secretary of War; whether staff officers are not too independent of the commanders of the geographical military de partmenis in which they arc serving; wheth- crit is better to confine officers to certain branches of the staff or to allow and require . freedom of transfer and detail between various branches of the army, and whether commanding officers should not be allowed tc select their adjutants from any part of ths army, as they do their aides, instead of keep ing up separate staff department to supply commanders with their chiefs of staff by { rigid system of regular detail.

The Arizona MINER comes along with new head, which is something remarkable for any thing coming from the land of of the Apaches. We are glad to see the MINER striking the Indian Policy of the government some heavy blows. None but men who have not the slightest idea of the Indian character would ever dream of governing the Apaches by kindness. We are inclined to the opinion that there IS more rascality than simplicity mani- tested in the conduct of the Indian affairs in Arizona. The shilly y-shally policy of Colyer and few other knaves or fools. has sacrificed many valuable lives in Arizona. There is but one way to treat the Apaches, and that is to adopt their own policy-kill on sight Nothing but war of extermination, pushed until the last man of the tribe has departed for the happy hunting ground, will secure a permanent peace with race of treacherous, bloodthirsty devils like the Apaches. The MINER understands this; the people of Arizona understand it and if allowed to conquer the Indians in their own way would soon secure a lasting peace.-RepS'b- iican, Stockton, CaiiforniG.
