ILL COOPERATE.


 In conversation with the Acting Gov. ernor of the T-rritory we learn that the
 military ana evil authorities will act in
 harmony to preserve order and peace in
 the Territory, suppress the present out
 break and pr ,ent the loss of life. Act ing Governor Gosper and General Will cox have arranged a plan of cooperation which canno. Tail to prove beneficial in
 keeping the disturbance within it's pres- ent limits and prevent the disaster from becoming widespread and paralyzinr the industTies of the Territory. The Governor advises the organization of local military companies at all exposed poiuts. He has telegraphed, General Wilcox concuTrng, to the War Depart- ment for five hundred stand of arms to supply these tcal companies and place them on war footing so they can pro- tect their homes and cooperate with tbe regular troops if it becomes necessary. The Governor sill be keept posted as far as possible as to the movementso of the va rious Indian bands and will dispatch eourriers to warn settlers of approach ing danger.
 By thia hes eo-operati7a or the cIvi' .-Esi- -.s--sf. .-sTSsfOrIrles, it IS hoped to suppress this outbreak without gen eral Indian war.
 The Territory is to be congratulated upon having an acting Governor who is taking active steps to protect the lives and property of tine people, and We think that all citizens will approve the he is inaugurating for that purpose.
 Mir Gosper will remain in the south- ern portion of the Territory to superin- ! tend the plans devised by him in con junction with the military commander. l

ENTERPRISE TELLS.

It Is evident that the reading public of Tucton appreciate the enterprise dis played by the CITIZEN in gathering news and getting out a large readable paper. The rapidity with which the city list of the CITIZEN has increased since the enlargement ID unparalleled in the history of journalism is the Territory.
 The CITIZEN contains the latest and most reliable news, and spares neither money nor labor to secure it.
 During the Indian troubles so far the CITIZEN has outstripped all competitors in securing full and complete details of all that has transpired. This has not been done merely by requesting some chance friend or acquaintance to send a dispatch, but by paying reliable cores pondents and despatching reporter to the front to furnish us by telegraph the latest information in relation Co the out break and action taken to quell 1t. As a result we have had ten lines of special dispatches from the front to one of our contemporaries. The reading public ap- preciate this fact, and each edition as 1t is issued is exhausted before the demand is supplied.
 The CITIZEN will continue this pro- gressive enterp-ising policy and its read CTS can count upon all the news that can be obtained up to the hour of going tc press.

MORE HOPES.

The removal of the President from
 the pestilential air Of the White House and the miasma arising from the low ground along the shores of the Potomac gives us more hopes of his ultimate re. covery. The immediate effects of the long ride and the necessary fatigue at- tending the journey to long Branch may not be so favorable; but the pure, inyigorating air and the stimulating ef- feet O. the change will soon be mani fest il decided improvement. In fact, that he is able to stand the journey even with the excellent preparations made is an indication of strength and vitality which it was not generally supposed the President had, and in ltsell strengthens public hope in his restoration to health. Tine news from the Presidents chamber at Long Branch will be as eagerly look ed for as it has been for the past two dreary months from the White House.

 The telegraphic columns of the CrTI-
 ZEN to-day contain the first full and au- thentic account Of inc Indian troubles in this Territory. From this account 1t appears tla5 General Carr and his com m-ud were not massacred as reported. but are now beleaguered in Fort Apache: and instead of being able to afford the people in that region any protection they viii consider themselves fortunate if they are able to keep the savages at bay until endorsements arrive. The disaster was not s1 great as at fist re- ported but it is st;ll sufficient to indi- cate that We have a genuine Indian war on our hands. Captain Hentig, Com pany D, Sixtl. Cavalry, and some men, all of whose names appear in our tele- graphic columns, have fallen victims to the cruel hate Of the Apaches. The murders that have been committed among the settlers are not yet known, but ii is supposed that many, particu- larly in the Mormon settlements, have perished 1 number Of scouts and cCur- iers are supposed to have been killed The Indians are sharp enough to cut the telegraph line every few miles so thai na1.- 4,s-4. -...l-- I 2 -. ,-1 l,i,--..

X New Railroad City.

The following correspondence rom the Albuquerque Journal relative to the Atlantic and Pacific crossing on the Colorado will be read with interest: A few days ago we had tine pleasure of meeting an engineer corps, camped on the Arzona side of the river, near the crossing. They are waiting orders to build a bridge there. From them We learn that the grading will probably be done to that point in about SIX months if heavy rains do not interfere with the rapid advancement of the work. The track will cross the rIver on a splendid steel bridge having draw span of about 4I5 feet long, and three fixed spans 2lJ feet each. The construction will consist of solid cast-iron abutments and pier resting on the rock bottom sixty-three feet below surface of low water, and the approaches on the east side will be more than 9,2OO feet long, and on the west
 side about the same. The city of Washu- na had been laid out and incorporated
 at. the crossing, and 1t bids fair to rival Prescott: town lots are booming and prices on the rise, and already an addi- ! ton is being talked of. There Is a native population of about 4S0, and the influx ' of Americans is constantly augmentIng | the number. As this will be the trans ] fer point of all the river freight, and is surrounded by a fine farming country | it cannot fail to be a good point as 1t ls | here that all the freight and passenger: | from the East will be transferred to the
 Pacific slope.

THE FOE A CHANGE.


 The population of this Territory has
 become too great its mineral wdalth and l its commercial, agricultural md grazing 1 interests are too important ti bd longer
 subjected to the danger and loss ooca-
 stoned by these periodic Indian out
 breaks. When nature smiles and crops
 are abundant, and feed for stock unus-
 ually good, then is the opportune mo-
 ment for -he untutored savage to break
 out from reservation restraints and at
 tempt to play t alone which means to
 murder and rllnder The time has
 come for this thing to cease. We arc 10
 longer an Isolated unknown portion of
 the country, but are within six days easy
 ride in palace coaches Of the center of
 population in this country, and have the
 same rights to enjoy and have protected
 as the Eastern States. It is more than enough that the reservations cover up and keep from development by the in- te!hgent whites some of the most valu- able portions Of the country. Rich min eral deposits are kept unexplored to en- able the worthless, blo0d-thirsty savage to perpetuate his taste for rowing life and avoid the restraints of civilization and retruin bis er',ol, sa-li'le uIsposi- ! tion. On the San Carlos reservation | are rich coal deposits which the interests Of the Territory demand This outbreak | should be made the occasion for the | relinquishment of the coal fields, SO that | the Territory can enjoy the benefit which will come from their development. If | the Apaches are to be allowed to remain longer in the Territory, all the hostles who engage in this war should be ex- and the balance should be put under such thorough subjection that my subsequent attempt can be frustra- ted in it's incipiency. IL would be bet ter still to have the savages transported to Indian Territory or some place where they can be securely guarded and no longer endaTger the lives of peaceable whites and retard the settlement of this 'ich and valuable section of the Union.

WILL IT NEVER oEAsEq

Will the mistaken sentimental Indian 1 policy, which forces such untold sufTerine
 and danger upon the residents of the
 western frontier, never cease? How
 Inuch longer must the oft told tale
 of barbaric cruelty, of outrage. robbery
 and murder be repeated in the ears oi
 the Christian people Of the east before
 they will realize that their policy is the
 heighth of cruelty, and that they are re- sDonsible for the blood that from all our canyons and plains calls to heaven for vengeance?
 IL would seem that the simple recital Of the barbarois cruelty, which the Apaches commit on every possible ocla- sion, would satisfy them that they are DO more emitted to consid ration than any other ferocious wild beast who rends and devours his victim. Cruelty and savagfy seem to be inherent in these h. dians and even the squaws delight in tee torture of helpless captiyes.
 The picture Of Lieut.. Smiths muti- lated body ought to be sufficient to satisfy our eastern friends that their mercy is misappiied when used to rescue bands of merciless sayages from the just pun ishment which their atrocities merit. Tbe ol--esses they commit aI,e nameless, and are so horrid and disgusting in their details they viii hardly bear repeating.
 The women who follow the fortunes of their husbands and set up their house hold gods on the western frontier on oc- casiuns Ike the present are subjected to mdisnitios anf cruelties which entitle them to sympathy and protection rather than their savage ravishers and murder CTS. Every consideration of humanity demands change in the Indian policy of government and more adequate pro- tection. If the government is not equal ! to the emergency let the local authori- 1 ties have the privilege of settling the | question II the latter would be done | we opine there would soon be an end to these outbreaks and peaceable, quiet | Indians would be more numerous.

PPo,rPr ACTION.


 General Wilcox, as soon as the news of tie outbreak reached him took prompt stepsto corral the hostiles and confne their depredations within mar row limits. He telegraphed at once to General Pope, at Fort Leavenworth, commanding the Department of Mis- -souri and New Mexico. to look out for the Indians on the north and protect the working parties on the line of the At iautic and Pacific Railroad. General Pope has already reached Santa te, and is carrying out the suggestions oi General Willcox. General Mcdowell has also placed troops at the disposal oi General Willcox, and with them and the troops in the Territory he Is moving on the hostiles from the south and west and in few days will have them well surrounded. It seems from the steps al ready taken. that General Willcox has ,rra,ned the situation fully, and has taken prompt action to nip the outbreaA i'm inc bud and give all the protection possible to the lives and property oi e1 posed settlers.

 The Colorado River Indian Agency has narrowly escaped having an ipeiii- cient surgeon toisted upon them. One T. c. McKieney. of Carbondale, ILL, re- ceived the appointment, and after much dalliance got as far on his way to the agency as Yuma. He arrived on Sunday last. in company with Miss Ella Burton and Miss Mary Hampton, two lady teachers from Charlestown, IL, who are going to the agency to teach the Indian school. Ee left on Tuesday morning via San Francisco, alone. He had loln- ed company with these ladies at Las Vegas, and upon finding that they were for the same destination, he introduced himself and offered to be their escort. Really, if it had not been for his valua ble O assistance the ladies might never have been this far on their journey. Ills first act of gallantry occurred at wash out around which the passengers had to be transported Tn carriages.

TIE New York Bullion has the fol- lowing comment upon the brutal mur- der of Mr. George Daly:
 The death of Mir. George Dalvat the hands of the savage Apaches brings deep regret to a large circle of friends. The killing of this braSe, generous young man We hope will call atrentlon to the shameful condition of Arizona In dian affairs. They need Governor Sal lord back at the head He established personal safety in Arizona, but 1t seems that Governor Fremont Is too much en. gagged with fine schemes to protect the brave and cnterprising men induced tc go there.
