The Daily Dispatch: November 9, 1860., [Electronic resource], Later from New Mexico (search)
Later from New Mexico --Successes over the Navajoes.--The New Mexican mails, with dates to the 22d ult., has arrived. Col. Canby had an engagement with the Navajo Indians on the 2d ult. Forty horses and five hundred sheep were captured, and five prisoners and six Indians killed. The Utahs, under Capt. Pfeiffer, captured five thousand sheep and a large number of horses, with nineteen prisoners and five scalps. Capt. Buckman's party of volunteers took seventy horses and one scalp. The Indians are sorely pressed on all sides, and if they are ever to be chastised, now or never is the time. The Utahs had proved treacherous; after receiving a large number of horses they put out with them, declining to have anything more to do with the campaign. By their treachery the Indians recovered 3,000 of the sheep that were taken from them. The command of Capt. Pfeiffer was put in imminent danger, but after a hard battle they escaped.
