TUCSON.

Tucson, May 30.-About two o'clock yes terday afternoon two Mexicans came into Camp Lowell and stated that the Apaches had made another raid on Leopold Carrilla's rancho and got away with about fifty head of cattle. Col Crittenden, commander of Camp Lowell, at once sent out detachment of cavalry in pursuit of the rascals. The Mexicans did not know the number of h. dians. Carrillas rancho is only few miles from Lowell.
 Tucson, June 1.-Mr H. c. Hooker, just in from Camp Grant, brings news that a party of Indian scouts sent out from San Carlos to bring in Cocheney, returned on the 26th ult., bringing his head. They trail ed the old rascal to within three miles of Tucson, where they surprised and killed him and three others in camp.
 The report that the Apaches had run off fifty head of stock from Carrillo's ranch proves to be incorrect.
 The scouting party which went out from Camp Lowell after the Indians returned on Saturday and report finding two head of cat tie that had been killed, but were unable to strike any trail as the Indians had no stock and must have been few in numbers.
 Col D. Taylor, paymaster, and Dr H. Lip pincott, with an escort, left Tucson for Pres colt this a. m.
 Tucson, June 2.-The Albuquerque Re publican Review, of May 23d, has the follow ing; "A letter from San Carlos, a settlement two miles south of the mouth of the Rio Puerco, dated May 10th, says blood-thirsty deed was perpetrated on the evening of the 17th inst, two miles north of the Rio Pu- erco. The murdered men were Mexicans named Tomas Valencia and Juan CarriOy Garcia Valencia had a rope placed about his neck and was dragged on the ground un- til life was extinct. Corrioy Garcia was taken out of his house, felled with an axe and af- terwards had his throat cut with the same instrument. The parties who committed this horrible outrage were six or seven in number, masked and painted. In Valencia's house there was a woman and two boys, and of Corrioy his wife and six or seven children. None of the murderers were recognized as they would not allow the families of the murdered men out of their houses. The above is the substance of the letter in ques- tion- Additional details up to the time of writing, are to the effect that Mir T. Valen- cia is the same old man who was present at the two sessions of the U. s. District Court held here last year, he being then implicated in lawsuit about some land at the place where the murder was committed. MT Gar cia was a neighbor of his and assisted him in his law suit, being a lawyer by profession. The former was about sixty years old, the latter about thirty-fve, both were men well known and greatly respected in this place. It is time stop was put to such terrible deeds 50 disgraceful to the Territory and alarming to its people. An example should be made of some of these fends in human shape, who have committed the bloody deeds 1t has been our painful duty to record during the past two years. As we have said before, when commenting upon similar atrocities, the people themselves are to blame for not coming forward and testifying against such savages. Unless they do so the courts are, of course, powerless, and the criminals bound to escape.
