A Welcome Exodus.

toONSllby -llNS A pdSAOoJ AAO1h tl1C Cdll Carlos agency, are now on their wind ing way to Fort Union, New Mexico, 45O miles as the crow flies from San Carlos. They left on Sunday the 18th, but no standard appeared in the blush of the morn. They moved in silence and sorrow to more circumscribed jurisdiction than they hitherto enjoyed. That they will soon weary of exile does not admit of a doubt, and it is equally certain that contrition for their former crimes will not disturb their leaden sleep.
 The cause of their removal was be- cause of their discordant nature, re- pugnant to the better class of Indians they were drunken, quarrelsome, and continual infractors of the rules gov erning the agency, where they were fed and clothed at public expense. They are a graceless lot and unworthy of human sympathy, and yet there are those of sanctimonious mien who con- done their hellish deeds and ask "why white men hang on the Indians path like the hound on the tigers track"
 The major part of those now on the way to Fort Union are women and children, mostly families of bucks now on the war path, and of men whose hands have already shed white mems blood and who have been drawing gov ernment rations and stealtbily con veying them to the raiders and sup plying them with ammunition.
 Capt. J. l.. Bullis Is credited with the suggestion for their removal. As agent at the San Carlos reservation he was enabled to discern that their pres ence there would result in an outbreak and in order to forestall their corrupt ing influence he suggested their rele- gation to some remote point where their minds might be diverted from the savage alluremements of the torch and death dealing rife.
 The only music attending the march is the jingling of cavalry sabers which will cease to enliven the ear at Fort Grant, from which place to Wilcox no other symphony than the cadence of infantry footsteps will attend the march. Capt. L. Johnson, command ing the military forces at San Carlos, 6uperintended the removal of the pris- oners from San Carlos to Wilcox, and the arrangements in every detail were carried out to perfection. From Will COX they go by rail to Fort Union, Mora county, New Mexico, where they will be dumped and glared at as ur- welcome visitors.
 Now that the policy of weeding the San Carlos agency of its worst element is seemingly adopted, it is to be hoped that it will be continued until the res ervatiCn is so thoroughly purged that murder, thievery, distilling tiswin and its attendant vices, will be regarded as among the lost arts. We are charitable, and regarding the dose already ad- ministered upon Fort Union and vi cinity as quantum suffcit, w9 would kindly suggest that the next install ment be shipped to Boston, and that future distributions might continue to other points, until Arizona Is free from their unwelcome presence. In selecting their future homes great care should be had to locate them as remote as possible from the scenes oi

 sweet psalms, even though they have exhibited no very incorporate zeal ir the matter of hiding their nakedness beyond the adoption of the conven

 The removal of these Indians east is commendable. They will be nearer the base of supplies, and where they
 will learn to eat pie with fork, anC
 otherwise the change will place then
 on the ascending scale to civilization
 and the further east they are takel the more advanced they will becom !, ill modish manners, and it is fair tt presume that if they are sent as ia 9 east as Boston they will wear eye-glass I es to be in fashion with the elite hub t Globe Silver Belt.
