ers on writs issued by the district attorney
for Gunnison county, under orders from
the governor, and they have probably
reached the reservation by this time. Gov
ernor Pitkin was very much surprised at
this movement of military without having
informed him. He expressed fears they
would not be able to cope with the Indians.
In his judgment theX should have taken
! at least twice as many men. The United
States district attorney this morning
left for Gunnison county. 1t is prob
able he will issue writs for the arrest
of the agent and associates and
have them examined before the United
States commissioner. Agent Berry make
the statement that if Jackson had not been
delivered to the Indians, the soldiers, all
whites present, and all freighters on the
road and inside of the reservation would
have been murdered. Should the military
go on the reservation for prisoners there
| is every danger of a conflict.
V1CToR1A's band has been annihilated
and the chief himself killed. A dispatch
from Ell Paso, says: Intelligence has
reached here on the 22nd inst, that the
Indian chief Victoria has been killed, and
most of his band killed or captured. Gen.
Buell., who crossed the river, acting in con-
junction with Mexican force, was notified
ten days since by Gen. Teraspas that fur

including himself. The lieutenant gave
the following particulars: On the after
noon:of the l4th. troops overlook and sur
ounded the Indians, the latter being in
position upon two hills known as Las
Castillo, one of which they were forced to
abandon. On the morning of the 18th,
the fight was renewed, sulting in the al
most complete humiliation of the whole
party. Chief Victoria, fifty warriors, and
eighteen women and children were killed,
seven women and children taken prisoners,
and two hundred and fifty head of horses
and mules recaptured. The Mexican loss
was three killed and three wounded, show
ing the Indians to be almost entirely des-
titute of ammunition. Within the past
year Victoria and his band have murdered
upward Of four hundred persons
