AH IA, MR. APiCHE.

We do not pretend to deny our joy over the recent good news from Major Kandall's command, as telegraphed from Tucson Tues day last. Es-kim-in-zin and his followers left their reservation without q cause; that is. SO far as we know, and Es-kim-in-zn ought to have been the last Indian in Ari- znna to have done such a thing, since he was Gen Towards chief pei, right bower and "typcn of "noble" Apache warrior, who promised the good(7) Howard that he (Es- kiminzin) would not break the treaty SO long AS a certain hard, enduring stone, existed. Eskiminzin was merely joking when he said this, but the gushing Howard thought him in earnest, or, at least, pretended SO, and with softcned voice, blurted out that he would trust Eskiminzin with his life. Howard had an object in this; the Freed mems bureau lead was last "petering," and just then, be imagined he had found new and rich lead, if properly worked, in the | Apache country. He would have done so, but for Crook and his "unchristan" way ol ! banning ou, such fraudulent Christians and money getting "warriors' as the extinguished Q. Q.
 | But, we have digressed. Less than two months ago, almost every Apache-over l, ,OOC ! of them-put out, in hurry, from the Sar Carlos reserve, and straightway started or | the war ar.path. The vicinity of Florence, or the Gila river, offered tempting plunder and, as some of them had recently beer l there, as soldiers, attached to military command, they knew the ropes and cor ! rals, too Yes, too well, for the peace O mind and the pockets of Messrs Stiles, Req gan and other farmers, from whom they stole | horses, cattle, mules, household furniture everything that came within their reach Tucson and vicinity were included in thei raids, and they did not even slight their olC Indian enemies-the Papagcs and Pimas - no, indeed, they levied on tAeir animals, too and got away with several.
 Crook heard of their carryings on, espe cially of the terrible butchery of men, womer and children at old Camp Grant, and set hi troops to work to check and chastise them This they sdp and some of them surrendered to scouting parties, while more of them back slid into the White Mountain Reservation But, Eskimnzin, the pet of the Indian De partment, and several followers, remained out, and it is his band which recently cam to grief on Superstition Mountain, littl north of Florence. Capt. Randall, 23d In fantry, and Capt Montgomery, 9th Cavalry were ordered there by Gen. Crook, with
 force of white and Apache soldiers, an from our account, met a warm and danger ous reception from the sayages, but, on
 charge being ordered, the fortified coward abandoned women, children, ammunition arms, etc, losing in their retreat, eleven ful grown warriors. The women and childre were, of course, taken care of by the troops the horses, etc, have, no doubt, ere thi
 been divided among the "loyal" Indian so diers from the White Mountain reservation who fought nobly.
 The first fire from the guns of the coscea | ed Apaches, wounded three soldiers an made close calls for the two white Captain
 Gen. Crook is in the field," directing ol erations and will very soon put an end she outbreak.
