 THE LATE MASSACRE BY APACHEs,
 send you, as "addenda" to my regular letter of last Monday, the subjoined item. relative to the late tripple massacre of White. by Apaches, at or near Apache Pass (Camr Bowie):
 new driver brought in the mail ria Apache Pass at about P. NJ. on Monday. He rode in the blackboard in which Petty and Bice were seated at the time they were shot.
 MT. Lesinsky informs me that the mail coming this way was small one, and had not been recovered; that the mail bound to New Mexico, etc, ,eas found, not materially damaged, and sent ahead.
 The driver states that Petty and Bice must have jumped from the blackboard after they were shot that Petty was shot through the lower portion of the body, there being an opening into which "your three fingers could easily be inserted" to quote the ex- pression of the driver; that Bice had run about one hundred yards, ere he fell, to die; {; one of his arms was broken into fragments; :; he was shot through the breast; that, accord ing to John Bedford's statement, the attack ing party of Indians numbered fifteen or twenty. All is quiet at Bowie.
