WHILE awaiting favorable oppor. tunlty for making terms of surrender to the American forces at Lang's ranch, the hostile Apaches encsmped in the rugced d mountains to the south have improved ihelr tlme in making murderous forays into the adjacent settlements and ranch es, for the purpose of plunder and to satiste their thirst for human blood. The letter from Fronteras, published in m our edition of Saturday, gives a par tlal account of the atrocities committed by band Of these fiends. and it will cause little rejoicing that, amid their carnival of death, one of the Indian leaders, supposed to be Mangus, was killed by the deadly aim of an Amer can among the beleaguerei settlers. Some ot the most shocking bsrbRrIties imaginable were perpetrated by these red devils upon a Mexican woman whom they captured-tortures and mu- tilstions so horrible that one cannot be- heve these fiendIsh saTages possess any human attributes in common with even the lowest races of mankind.
 Sung by these recurring incurslons. and the long delay in making them prisoners by our troops, the Mexican forces are reported to have reached the scene of theIr bsrbarities and to have hemmed in the hostiles with triangular cordOn of soldiers, determined to ex- terminate them. They were pre- pared to crush the whole band indis- criminately and would probably have accomplished their purpose had not the Indians chosen to risk the chances of an unconditional surrender 10 the Ameri- can troops than the terrible certainty Of swift retribution at the hands of the Mexicsns. If the latest and seemingly credible reports are true, there is some excuse for even the wrath of the Mexi- can forces in finding their almost cap tured eneny-the common enemy of our own country as weU-safely protected AAbl- iL4CAA gu0tAe AAGAAAEA p4AAASA4-ArAN ng the United States forces. We do not apprehend that their terrible disappoiat- ment at the apparent insincerIty Of our troops in the destruction If the savages will lead r. Q conflict between the na- tional forces, as the news seemed to in- innate as probable. There are so many serious cousequsnc,s involved that the better judgment of the commander of the Mexican troops must surely recog- nize them and pause before any overt act is committed. The money bounty he would receive for the three score and ten Apache scGlps will hardly com pensste him for the loss Of his own life "a sure penalty of his rashness.
 And now that the hostiles have been captured" i. would be Interesting to know what their fate will be. We are Gll of one mind as to what 1t should he but there are so many precedents, each one Of them marked by another harvest of death among tho white set tiers, that but little hope for ius;lce ex- ists. We hope the curtain has dropped forever upon the farce, and that the grand denouement will be q little Ted tragedy.

THE Florence Enterprise does Q grave injustice to MT. Fred R. Kitde, ln st- trIbuting to him the information de- rived by the CITIZEN as basis for its item regarding the troubles then immi- nent in the Florence canal matter. We first met MT. Kittle in Tucson on the l7th instant, while our item in reference to the canal appeared in our second edi- tion on the evening of the 18th, and in the first edition on the 17th. Our in- formation came from different source entirely, but we are very glad to learn from the Enterprise that the matter has been adjusted satisfactorily and that the SUi-. cf coap.-ac.:ng the canal is to be pushed forward with all possible dis patch. We regard the canal with the most friendly interest as a neighborIng contributor to the prosperity of our city, and when our railroad to Florence has been constructed. Tucson will draw largely upon the products of this newly reclaimed section for many of its needs.

A PROMINENT merchant whose whole heart k wrapped up in advancing the material interests of our city and coun- ty, remarked in a private conversation
 yesterday, that In all his contact with
 the world he had never met with such an lncongruous aud selfish community of men of means than in our own fair city of Tucson. He said they were al-
 ways ready to profit by any transient or permanent effort or industry brought about by others, but are never willing to put their hands down in their pockets to bring about any public benefit, and can
 never pull together in harmony for the good of all. His words are indeed se- were and they perhaps contain consider able truth. The lack of harmony among our people has been the one great cause above all others of the present depres- sion in affairs here. The inauguration of an enterprise of any kInd Tn which few Of our people take a hand, IS met with opposition by those who were sighted in its management, and gen eral rule or ruin" policy has brought about the latter alternative. Our peo- pie should Inculcate a better spirit If they would prosper. IT one person fails to attain cherished object he should bring himself to rejoice if another Is more favored, realizing that in the gem eral prosperity individuals are bene- fited. The stagnation in our mining ln- dustries is largely the result of the per picious strife to wrest dollars from In- vested dimes and to practically black mail purchasers. The sentiment that eff can't make a raise, 1 will be care ful not to let any orc else iO so, IS the most senseless and suicidal policy the people can adopt Let them join hands and pull together. T. a neighnor has an opportunity to sell hIs mine CT other property, don't poison the purchaser against 1t, but help to forward the ssls; if in turn will assist you in the sale Of your property and it will put additional money into circulation, some of which will indirectly come to your palms. In our local interests, We must favor any and all industrial projects, and discour- age none. The dollars put into home industries will grow and bear fruitful crop of double-eagles Tn the future. We must ourselves show our faith in our city and county before We can expect the eastern stranger to invest here. If you show to him such promising opportu- mites to increase his wealth. he will con clude that you want him to invest where you dare not risk your own money, and that it IS a trick to rob him. Let us go to work in one harmonious effort to &C., complish something for the good of the whole city, and let individual efforts to step over the line that marks the limit of usury and the beginning of larceny. rest for a short tune until this IS done.

 TIE late grand jury in their investi- gation of the various county offices made no special reports for each. In private conversation they express a sense of satisfaction upon the business affairs of the county as administered in its every branch, and are particularly grati- fled with the management of the Treas urer's office and that of the County Re- corder. Both of the lncumbents of these offices have given the most perfect satis- faction in all their dealings with the public, and they are entitled to great credit for their integrity, industry and ability. The people are not slow to rec ognize true worth ID their official ser wants and believe in retaining their faithful services. There IS scarcely a doub. that Messrs. Thomas Hughes and 4. B. Sampson, now occupying the po- si:ions of Treasurer and Recorder re- spectively, can retain their positions by the almost unanimous vote of the peo- ple of Pima county, should they consent to renominAtion.
