Arecent letter from Lieut. Schuyler to Gen Crook states that the Indians on the Verde reservation were dying by squads. Five dead bodies were recently found in desert ed camp.
 The General, several weeks ago, gave the mongrsl Apaches leave to go to the nearest mountain range, for their health. Should they not return, he will "intcrvew" that and several other mountains.
 The weather is now cool, and MT Indian ought to be feeling pretty well. The past season has been very sickly one, on and near the Verde, and we do not blame the Indians for dying.
 A gentleman who arrived here few days ago, from Camp Bealo Springs, informs us that he was unable to count more than 90 Wallapai noses on the reservation, all but those being out in the mountains This same gentleman says that a commander who would not drink to excess would be very acceptable to citizens, soldiers and Indians.
 There's rumor Gin the air" to the effect that the State of Sonora, Mexico, has prom ised to pay Cachise, handsomely if he will keep his Indians from numbering and rob ping it's citizens. This, if true, is ''beating' our Government at its own game.
 Gen Vandever, boss of the Indian peace business for this Territory, was in Tucson about week ago, and ought to be here soon.
 Since correspondents are alarming the press of California, by overdrawn pen pie lures of danger here, it may be well for us to state that Crook has yet left sufficient brains and men to checkmate all our hostile red devils, who, however anxious they may be to kill and rob, are afraid of the little man who has never yet failed to punish them for an evil deed, or reward them for good one
 New Mexico papers inform us that Major Price, Sth Cavalry, had succeeded in per suading some of the Mescallero Apachcs to return to their reservation.
 Says the Las Cruces Borderer: "The last report from Tularosa reservation says about two hundred Indians are at home. They got into row short time since and Loco went for the crowd-frst killing an Apache who had murdered friend of Loco. Then shot several others, among whom was Victoria, the other chief, the ball passing through Victoria's cheek but not killing him."
 Roman Catholic Bishop Salpointe, of this Territory, has gone to Washington, to take the job of civilizng the Indians of our Ter ritory. Wonder why he, or some other Catholic power, hasn't civilized them long ago. The chances have been numerous.
 The only thing in San Diego that attract ed the attention of the Pimas and Maricopas who recently passed through that thriving village, was Hortor's big safe.
 Colorado has had another indian alarm. Territorial "troops" were sent after the reds, but found none that were handy to get at.
 The present commissioner of Indian Affairs is accused of complicity in big Indian swim dle up in Minnesota, but we don't believe him guilty.
 The Utes have ceded the mountainous DOT tion of the San Juan country to Government, and miners who own claims there are jubi- lant. Mr Brunot acted for Government.
 The Gov of Texas wants the Government to make the Comanche and Kiowa Indians sell or deliver up their horses, and so deprive them of the means to commit depredatons off their reservations. They should certainly be compelled to give up either their horses pr their arms.
 The following important dispatch was re- gently received at Washington:
 FORT SILL, October 4th; To Columbus DeldnO: General Davis and party arrived iere yesterday and have held preliminary council with the Kiowa chiefs. The severe measures that will probably be necessary with the Comanches make it very important hat the Cheyennes, who are marauding near Pueblo, be struck and destroyed, or captured. Their chiefs told them that the party went Igainst the wishes and in defiance of their gents. They disclaim all responsibility for hem. They will take a situation here much asier by preventing the tribes above from oining the Comanche Indians. They must 'e kept on their own reservations, by punish nent, when other measures have failed. . (Signed) E. J. SMITH,
 Commissioner Indian AfTairs.n
 Secretary Delano, after consulting with Belknap, telegraphed reply that he War Department had given orders to trike the marauding Indians near Pueblo as oon as possible.
