REGENT INDIAN DEPREDA.
 T1ONS.

We believe it was on Saturday morning last word was brought in, from Burned Ranch, about three miles west from Prescott, to the effect that Indians had stolen three fine horses from Thomas Stonehouse. The military authorities at Fort Whipple were not long in determining what to do, under the circumstances. Lieutenant Garvey, some fifteen men of Troop A, First Cavalry, with Archie Mcintosh and William McCloud as guides, and the man who brought the news of the robbery, started out after the robbers, traced them over and around Granite moun- tain and on towards Bill Williams Noun tain, near which great landmark they came up with some Indians, one of whom was killed and another wounded.
 Wm. McCloud, from whom this informa- ton is derived, has stated to us that the re- zion in which they got the two marauding savages, was cut up in every direction, with fresh Indian trails; that plenty of Indians were seen by the command, on the hill-tops, shouting obscene words at the command and threatening to get the best of them soon. Men and horses being very tired after their long ride, Lieutenant Garvey was forced to return.
 His little command have done remarkably well, and we thank him and them for their good work. Heretofore, savages have been allowed to do pretty much as they pleased !; now, they see and know that they arc to be pursued and punished whenever they murder and rob, and this knowledge may, ere long, have a beneficial effect upon them.
 During the latter part of last week, q party of sayages stole some horses from near camp on the Cornucopia mine, some seven miles south from Prescott The horses broke loose from them and one horse found his way to Prescott, bringing, around his neck, piece of an Indian's rope.
 The Tucson Citizen, of June lst, contains the following depressing news:
 "About thirty Apaches attacked the ranch of Thomas Hughes, about two miles from Camp Crittenden, on the 21st ult. The men at the ranch fought them for about two ulO'C 'HCH pi, oue DIN Apaches succeeded in taking with them an OK and two valuable horses. This is the sec ond attack that has been made on this ranch within a month.
 On the same day, they murdered Clarence Cosgrove, about four miles below Hughes ranch. The farmers are abandoning their ranches in the Sonoita valley and leaving ex- cellent crops just ready for harvest
 On the 23d, a large band of Apaches came down the Santa Cruz and crossed just above Tubac They took two horses, in daylight, from Jo. King, that were tied in front of his house.
 The people on the Sonota and Santa Cruz are much discouraged and will abandon both settlements unless something is soon done to give them relief; in fact. unless they do leave very soon, the way matters now stand, very. shortly there will not be one left to tell the story"
 All of which goes to prove our oft-repeated assertion that the more treaties are made with the Apachcs, the worse off are our citi- zens We wish they would live up to trea- ties; we do, indeed. But, what is the use Of our fooIing oursclves--of our hoping against hope. Too saucy are they, as yet, to submit to what they consider the unmanly yoke of civilization,
