Southern New Mexico.

Las Cruces Borderer of May 3lst has two accounts of a recent skirmish between Mexi- can settlers and American troops, on the Tul- arusa, near Fort Stanton, from which we make out that the people of the town of Tularusa started up that stream, cut the dams and irrigating ditches of settlers in the canon, and swore that no more water should there be used for irrigation. Soon after this, 6men of the canon who were going to help a negbbor irrigate, were fired upon by the town force and driven back to the mill Word being sent 10 Fort Stanton, Lieutenant and sotne enlisted men were despatched, with or ders from Captain McKibbin, to protect set tiers in the canon. The mob fired on the soldiers, who returned the fire, killing one man. Mob then fled. Returned next day, formed into two parties moved to attack mill were fired upon and forced to retreat. Next day, company of Cavalry, some noun ted Infantry with howitzrr, started to go to Tularosa; found entrances to town guarded by armed Mexicans parleyed and were iin- ally allowed to enter the town, where they stayed all night.

CROOKS MEN AND POLICY
 AGAIN VICTORIOUS.
Seventeen Strapping Apaches Sent to their Final Resting Place.
Five Indian Women and Children Cap
 tured and Tenderly Cared For.
First Lieutenant J. B. Babcock, the Peace Commissioner and Maker of this Eyer. lasting Treaty.

Going down to Fort WhIpplo last Wcdnes- day forenooiI We very unexpectedly met our very good friend, Dr. II. NJ. Mathews, who had just returned frpm long trip through the mountains of Eastern Arizona, which trip was made in company with Gen. Crook. Asking him the news, he informed ms that, about week previous, Lieutenant Babcock, with n mixed and small command of White and Indian soldiers from Camp Apache, struck the trail of a band of Apaches, who had never struck their flag to the white man. Tbs trail they followed for a long distance, over very rough country, until a smoke was discovered, when preparations were made for an attack. Despite every precaution, the hostile Indians got wind of their coming, for wonder, got behind rocks and opened fire on the troops. But it was a wild intellectual fire, Not SO that of the troops, who, thanks to their commsn- der's foresight, were on every side oI the foe, pouring in volpy after yolpy of death dealing missiles, the music of which mingled, first, with the villainous war cry of tue wild Apaches, and, afterwards, with their solemn death-chant. In less time than it has taken us to write this, seventeen full grown savages lay dead. Three or four women and couple of children were after wards found in the brush and taken charge of by the soldiers.
 Soon after this, party of five men, while on "sde scout" came very near surprising a small raneheria of Apachcs.
 All this occurred in Tonto Basin, near the head of Cherry Creek. The news of this telling blow has already spread among the Indians of every band and tribe in the Territory, and has filed them with new fear of 2 commander and troops the like of whom they have never before en. countered. Delchaye, Shuzle-Pan, Tumaspie 1 and scores of other chiefs, wbo have stood out until they were unable to find another last ditch, are, for the present, if we are to believe their assertions, satisfied to reside upon the reservations, and do as Crook wishes them to do.
 1 Other commands are out in the mountains chasing murdrrUus Indians, and trying theil very best, to emulate the gallant deed o Babcock and his men.
 The reservations are better conducted thar | they have ever before been, all of which in. spires us to hope that the Apaches will have to keep the peace.

A GarESous MIs1Ast;-Poslnastsr Allen

i A GaIExoUs MsTAxt,--Poslrnaster Allen, of this place, is not happy. He has been P. NJ. for long time past. and never, during his Postmasterial career, made anything like big mistake until last Saturday morning, when in his hurry to get the mail sacks in the wagon he unthinkingly placed brass lock on the sack which contained the mail matter for Wickenburg and all points in southern Arizona. At least, this is the only way be can account for the fact that no mail matter was received at Wickenburg, the distributing point for southern Arizona. Now a brass lock on mail sack is a sign that said sack contains naught but through mail, and is to go to Los Angeles, California, before be- ing opened, SD there, we presume, have all letters and papers gone, yes, most Of our Arl' zona subscribers MINERS, with the hard, brain and finger work of week But, acci- dents will happen, mistakes will be made, and we, for one, forgive Allen for this, his first blunder. The Los Angeles P. NJ. can, send that sack back too quickly.

JubY FOURTH, the day we celebrate, is close at hand. So far as we have been able to learn, no arrangements have been made by the people of any large town in the Territo- " for public celebration of the day, So that it will be every man for himself and the Fourth of July for IS all.
 Such military posts as have big gun or two, will, no doubt, burn some powder in firing national salutes.
 Citizens will shoot their guns of, too, and 1t may be that ths Indians who fought nit Crook against their erring red brethern will feel the throbs of patriotism stealing up their blue trouser-legs, and vent their patriotism in wsr-whoops. If 50, let it be 50. We shall record it.
 Here, in Prescott, we shall miss Judge Berry, but we will have music by tue brass band, which may console us for his loss. There will also be dance in the evening a select dance at at,-whch lets US out, for we are a miscellaneous sort of "cuss."
 But, there is nothing in the Howell Code to prevent ouyself, our printers and the devil of the MIXER office from having good time on the Fourth, in honor of the two great Georges Washington, who won American Independence, and Crook, who has freed us white peOns of the Apaches
 We look for our celebration to be rather tame affair, but that will not be our fault. we would like, ever so well, to commemorate the event by hanging Modoc or stoning an Indian Ring preacher, but as we cannot in. duIge in such sport, We will treat our gal to a section of gingerbread and bawl out the fol- lowing h-y-m-R: 4a w4I
