NulnDcr, seventh ttliltu SlalcS NdN- airy, who is conducting the campaign against the renegade Apaches, whose recent atrocities have SO shocked and mortified the people of Arizona. Col Onel Sumner had received official notice that the recent convention made between himself lby Lieut.. Col. Bell and Colonel kosterlitzski, by which troops from both sidescan cross the line in pursuit of the renegades, had been ratified both at Washington and the City of Mexico, and he had come into Bisbee to perfect arrange ments for conducting most vigorous and effective campaign against the hostiles.
 A part of the arrangement will be construction of military telegraph line between Bisbee and the San Der Dardino ranch. At the latter place has been established the headquarters of Colonel Sumner, and he now has there three troops of cavalry and a company of Indian scouts under com mand of twelve capable officers. With telegraphic communication with all parts of Arizona and daily patrol Of all the roads crossed by the trails of the hostiles, with forces at command ample to keep fresh men in the field at all times, it is the intention of Colonel Sumner to pursue, capture and destroy" every last renegade In- dian.
 Already have the troops in Colonel Sumner'scommand done effective serv- ice in breaking up two camps of renega- des. In both instances the camp was located at night and attacked at the first breaking of the dawn, the first intimation the renegades had of the proximity of the troops being the crack of their rifles. On each occasion they so badly wounded one Indian that he afterward died. The body of one was afterward found, and the whereabout of the burial of the other is known. On both occasions the In- dians abandoned their camps with everything in them, including their clothing, provisions, ammunition, arms and field glasses articles indis- pensable to the renegade. In the first camp was found clothing known to have been worn by Miss Merrill at the time she was murdered, on the road road between Solcmonyille and Cliff ton, on the third of December last. In the other camp was found property identified as belonging to J. 5. Hand, who was killed in the San Simon val ley some few weeks since These eyi. dences are assumed to indicate that at least one of the murderers Of each the two unfortunates named have suffered just doom. With the sec Ond camp captured were found some fifteen horses with brands of various Cochise county stockmen.
 The vigorous campaign which has been inaugurated by Colonel Sumner is just what was needed, and he is de- termined to carry it out so completely that not hostile shall be left at large. The gentleman is quoted as saying that the people of Arizona have right to be free not only from all danger from the renegades but from all ap. prehension of danger, that it is his business to secure that freedom, and that he is going to do it.
 Lieutenant Leavcll, well known at NOgales, is with Colonel Sumner, act ing in the capacity nf aid de camp.
