THE INDIANS. MORE SAVAGE PR A N k S..

the following friendly" acts of the "noble red menn have come to hand:
 | N. Bcardslce writes us from Pima county to say that Indians had stolen all of his ami mals. leaving him afoot in the mountains, and flat broke.
 Out on the Mohave road, they attempted - "playfully." of course,-to stampede herd of horses which Government had just brough, to the Territory for special Apache use, but Lieutenant Garvey prevented the Nations wards from making the stampede success Garyey will, of course, be court-martailed should Colyer & Go. elect the next President
 Besides stealing animals from Fort Rock they very generously left mule dead, near the house, so that its owners had nothing to do Gf they so wished) but cut out pieces oI mule, roast and eat them. They planted several arrows in said mule, just because it had acted mulish in not allowing itself to be easily driven away.
 | James Baker is out some 40 head of cattle, which he fears the noble reds are 'herding'' i for him.
 They visited Adam Reisbach's place, few miles west of Prescott, Sunday evening last, and shot two fine horses for him, making six, in all, killed and stolen by them from Adam the past winter and spring. He is now flat broke: can't cultivate his farm, and IS wait | ing to see if Colyer & Co. elect the next Pres ident, when, if they do, he thinks the best thing he can do is to be an Indian, and with | the Indians roam.
 M K. Lerty, who has no business to be a white man in an Indian country writes us to say that on Thursday of last week, he turned | three of his work horses out to graze, and rest, after forenoon's hard work; that said horses had not been out more than an hour, when Indians were seen driving them tow ards Squaw Peak; whites followed and press ed the Nations wards so close that they were compelled to leave the horses behind and fly to the summit. Before doing so, they took good care to wound two of the horses. For this interference the red angels will, no doubt, soon get even by stealing more horses or killing some unfortunate white cuss.
 c. W. Hance, who came up from the Yer de Thursday last, says Indians, Indian fires and sign are always visible near the Post, and it is very unsafe to be a white man in that vicinity. "Cracky" was still playing double between Indians and whites. While going from the Post to the old saw-mill, with Mir. Stephens and others, he left the wagons and road, and soon returned, eating mescal, which he said two Indians had given him. Cracky is a nice man, and would make beautiful Indian corpse.
 Tuesday last, some of Col. O'Beirne's col lege bran-bred Indians took pity upon six stage horses belonging to James Grant, a poor but honest white mail contractor, drove said horses away to the mountains and left us poor white folk wondering why it was the mail didn't arrive. Oh this is glori- ous country for citizens of "the best govern ment the world ever saw," to suffer in.
 A day or two ago, Indians swooped down on the ranch of MT. Loyejoy, on Lower Lynx Creek, eight miles cast from Prescott and Fort Whipple, and drove off every animal on the place, thus leaving MT. Lovejoy and others without horse, mule, OK or COW.
 Judge of our surprise upon receiving the fol- lowing letters, from soldier friend at Camp Hualpai, who, we fear, is not imbued with proper Christian spirit, else he would not have taken on so over the falling of such a stroke of ill luck upon V. Colyer's noble red friends Oh! the anguish that this news will stir up in the bosom of that cur of Christian" Royal E. Whitman! How will he have the cheek to break the sad news to his government-fed squaw! We wait for a reply, an earthquake, a bolt of lightning, or
 
 that will put an end to the wicked and their rule:
 CAMP HUALPAI, A. T., May 5, 1872. Editor of Me Arizoaa Miner:
 Our dearly beloved friends, alias those in- carrate devils, the Apaches, are after our set tiers in this vicinity again red hot Early this morning, MT. Brewster's stock, number ing some three or four head, were driven off. A party in charge of 1st Sergt Rudolph Stauffer, Company K, 5th Cavalry, was at once sent in pursuit, and up to this time, 9 P. NJ, have not yet returned
 These rascally redskins are getting worse and worse, and so bold that Coiyer himself would be surprised at their audacity Brews- ter's ranch is not quite one-half mile from the post, so you can see plainly how daring the red thieves are.
 By the bye, in your last you make me say that Sergeant Whiteford had l4 men with him in his successful scout after Colyer's while he had only four; thereby taking away good deal of his credit Please correct this. SEMpER VERrrAs.
