Captain Randall Makes Ten.Strike '!

We may be excused by the Quaker philan- hropi.ts for little cxhultation in this issue of the MINER, on account of the speedy ret .ibution which has been metcd out to the nurdercrs of Gus. Swain, John Mcdonald and Taylor.
 On the llth of March, these three men were slaughtered by large band of hpaches. Within twenty days after the murders were committed % of the warriors composing the band have been killed, and 2G of their women and children made prisoners. Since our last issue, Lieut.. Rice, from Camp Date Creek, has arrived at Fort Whipple, Lieut.. Rice bad numbcruf Apache MOhave Indians from the Date Creek Reservation and Dan. O l.eary and Sam Ball as guiCtcs and traIler>, and went to the scene of the nEs~-.scre, and beloved the trai. oC the retl,Sfn- tiIf they crossed the trail of the party from Mcdowell, who were on the same track. Lieut.. Rice procured sut- ! iicicnt evidence to make it certain that young Taylor was captured alive and subjected tO most horrible torture. The Apache Mohayes with Lieut. Rice declared that the Indians who committed the outrage were Pinals.
 After striking the trail of the Mcdowell party, Lieut.. Rice turned toward Prescott and arrived at Fort Whippe on Saturday , st, having followed the trail from the Has sayampa creek toward Tonto Basin, across the Agua FTia, and returning to Fort Whip pie cid i!uBbUg creek.
 An express arrived at Whipple Sunday ev- cniug, fou. Captain G. NJ. Randall, of Camp Apache, stating that he had met the foe and killed 1T warriors and captured squaws The news was received m Prescott about sun down, and the rejoicing was general.
 Never since the settlement of Arizona, has retribution, so speedily and full, ever over taken the Apacbes as in this instance. The credit for 20 signal n victory is due to Gen. 1 Geo. Crook, commander uf the department of Arizona. His plans have laid with that sa- gacity only acquired by experience his knowledge of the country, and ile trails and passes through our mountain ranges, has en abled him iO station force at bis command in exactly the right places to head off the re- treat of marauding bands and punish them | This knowledge has been gained only by such | persistent exploration and travel, on the part of General Crook, as few department com. manders. in these days, would undertake and for his untiring eXertuns, he has the sat isfactOn of knowing that to-day no man stands ! higher in the estimation of AriZonans than 1 himself The record also shows that he has succeeded in infusing into the hearts of nearly all his subordinate officers the same spirit that animates his own. Should they never again as successfully cunsunmate so gOOd a deed as that of the last campaign, the names of Maj. Brown, Cap's. Randall and Taylor, and LIeuts- Rice, Mcher, Woodson, Amy, and Bourke will ever be fresh and green in the memory Of the settlers in Arizona.
 ! The proposition was made that Sheerum
 Wallapai Charley and CaelIise, when captured should be sent to Stockton, Angel Island or Alcatraz, as military prisoners. Sheerum, hearing of this, refused to return to the res ervation, at Camp Beale Springs, until Capt. Berne guaranteed him safe living on the res eryation during his natural life. Sheerum is a bad Indian, and the Wallapai tribe will nev- CT be permanently peaceabe until his light |: extinguished
