 Found the camp of Es-kim-in-zin, Cochi- nay and Cbuntz, twelve miles northwest of old Camp Pinal, on the sth instant. In the fight Already reportedD thirteen bucks were killed, and not eleven, (as the telegraph first stated) but thirty four women and children were captured and are now at San Carlos the remainder escaped by mere accident, leav- ing rything in their camp, including all stock, etc.
 Cochinsy, Chuntz and Pedro were of on a raid in ,he vicinity of Tucson. Es-kim-in- gin conducted the raid on Florence and Stiles ranch, made a few weeks ago. Prisoners al- so say that great many of the lndi- ans were averse to leaving the reservation, but forced out by the influence of the Indians already named; that in the disputes occa- stoned by this difference of opinion, fight commenced in which four of their number were killed. This account agrees with the statement given by those who surrendered to Hamilton last month, and by the bands who went in on the Sierra Blanca rcserva- tfon some time since.
