to-day. Companies A and F have
been ordered to Silver King county.
Major A. w. Worth, of company B,
Captain Porter. of company d, and
Captain Bailey, under Colonel Wilkins,
will proceed at once to Wilcox. These
troops have had four years experience,
and Major Worth was in command at
Fort Apache ten years. He is familiar
with the surrounding country and the
chief of the hostiles. Governor Cos
per this morning received dispatch
from Acting Inspector General Arnold,
at Wilcox. to the effect that two men
were reported killed in Green valley.
General Arnold advised the immediate
organization of minute men every
where north of the Gila.
Camp Thomas, Sept. Two Indian
couriers arrived from Fort Apache at 4
p. m. Everything is quiet around the
post, the hostiles having left its imme-
diate vicinity. They saw the bodies of
four white men near Black river. prob
ably those Of McMurer and party.
Craig's and Oyerton's commands and
Clark's Indian scouts reached there
without encountering any hostiles.
Carter's, Glover's and Major Chaffee's 8
companies reached San Carlos to-day.
The major is sick with intermittant
fever. A mail carrier from Clifton, who
arrived here at Z p. m, reports that
the Indians stole the stock and provis-
IONS at the Mormon settlement, sixteen
miles east of here, to-day.
San Francisco. Sept. S.-A dispatch
from Tucson says: San Carlos is quiet,
but there are 2G0 bucks belonging to
the White mountains, who are reported
by the agent to be hostile. They have.
SO far as known, killed two men in
Tonto basin. where Price has four COM
panies. with more ON the road going to
him. The reservation Indians will be
counted tomorrow. The agent says
that yesterday there were but six OF
eight not in. 1t is believed here that
most of those who are out have tried to
get back. Citizens report parties Of
them coming down the north side OF
the Gila river, and that they offered nc
violence, though it is charged that some
horses have been run off towards the
agency.
The following dispatches were re-
ceived from Arizona last night: Gen.
Wilcox telegraphs that there are all
sorts of rumors, but his present belief
is that the hostiles are all south Of the
Gila river, and mostly on the White
mountains or the Magillon country.
Lieut.. Haskell reports that he got re-
turn courier from Gen. Carr. Overton's g
command went in at night without
meeting Stanton. Carr says Cooley
went out on the night of the Sd in
hopes to bring in part of Pedro's own
band. Cruises, first sergeant, Moses and
Alcoshargo, White mountain chiefs,
have gone out to talk with Pedro.
have not much faith in Pedro or his
band. Carr has now three additional
companies with him. Capt. Mcclellan
reports from old Fort Grant that he is
not able to get across the Clio, as it is
not fordable. Prices command moved
out Of the Verde for the head of Tonto
basin on the morning of the 9Th. Capt.
Vivian telegraphed from Camp Thomas
that an Indian courier is in from the
Apaches via the sub-agency. The
commands Of Overton, Perrine, Craig
and Clark's company of Indians, ar
rived there at $3.50 on the 4th, after a
forced march. Matters are not as bad
as first reported.
A Tucson dispatch from Camp
Thomas says company G, Sixth cavalry,
company II, Twelfth cavalry, and com.
pany 1, Eighth infantry, arrived here
this morning. 1t is believed that not
more than two hundred bucks are on
the war path, and that none of them
have, as yet, gone out, but are depre-
dating around Apache.
