 WHIPPLK BARRACKS, July 2Oth.
 The commands of Col. Evans and Major Chaf.e having pursued the renegade Apaches by forced marches from the head of Pleasant Valley and across the Black Mesa, overlook and surprised them on the morning of the 17th inst, near Sherlon's Fork of the Little Colorado. The hostiles succeeded in gaining a very strong position in a steep rocky can yon. strewn with immense boulders, | and for while kept up a most de. termined resistance. The soldiers, cool and determined, made ever shot tell, while the murderous Apaches fought with the ferocity of tigers. After bloody fight the bIookhirsty brutes were made to "hunt their holes" leaving twenty eff their band dead upon the field. The victory to our arms was a sad one, and dearly bought, for the gal lant Lieut.. G. H. Morgan was shot through the lungs and had one arm shattered; Lieut.. c. L. Converse was severely wounded; one private was killed and five wounded; also one Indian scout killed and one wounded. Al. Sieber, chief of scouts, was, as usual, in the thic&est of the fight. Colonel Mason's command arrived at the scene of the battle during the night, and followed the retreating savages. The news came by courier to Fort Verde, thence by telegraph to Prescott. Col. Evans gives the entire credit of the victory to the careful generalship of Maj. Chaffee.
