Col. Green and Cachces..Object

 Effects of Unfermented Beer.- Cause of DesertIOnS Mentioned,

 &c.

 CAMP APACHE, MAY 16, 1S71.-I have watched with great interest the course of events that have transpired within the last few months; I mean the policy in regard to the Indians, which has vital importance to the people of Arizona. I have seen ill your paper criticisms on the Indian ques- ton, which in my judgment, were full of good sense. It is "a kind O mixed" whether the troops give more protection to Indians than whites. When I am sent to Congress, 1 will urge that man shall not have con- mand of troops that cannot refrain from adding to the defect of ignorance the vice of drunkenness, thereby dis qualifying him for that duty and ex- ercise of power.

 Major John Green is an officer whose behavior excited your just ccnsure. His writings and reports will bear witness to the low state a man may be brought by ignorance and whisky. No doubt you have heard of his getting drunk with some of the big braves of the country. lam certain of one thing, and that is the inspector general did not have his eyes and ears shut when he passed through this post, and we may expect to hear of certain abuses being corrected. such as cursing the men and hazing them until they desert I believe that Gen. Stoneman was influenced to great degree by the reports sent to him by Major Gre n, written after copious Ebations of Ned's unfermented beer.

 No doubt, Mir. Editor, you have heard ot Cachees coming in here last year to make peace. The truth is, as subsequent events have proven, he came in to get corn to make tizwin (liq- uor) for his annual drunk, which is pot trick peculiar to white men. An interesting talk that must hlve been <! Green surrounded with armed Indians who had directions to fire if he (Green) said anything that did not please Cachees. If he had been impudent to Cachees, Ned, the brewer would have smiled on us once more, because, Green out of the way, the beer would have time to get "Steam on"

 Stolen stock has been frequently brought into this post by Indians, but when the brands were adroitly cover ed with a fine, fat turkey, or piece of juicy venison, who could see them?

 If the people need any more proof regarding the powder traffic, they can get it at this post.

 Interviews have been conducted at this post with the Indian by man who was hired as an interpreter but used as spy on us. This man has as good knowledge of the language he pretends to interpret as a hog has of attn.

 We are now waiting for the new deal and hope it will improve our condition. More of us would sub- scribe for your interesting paper, but we are afraid that would cause suspi- cion. QUIETO.
