Nineteen-twentieths of the Territory of Arizona is under their undisputed control. We have Indians all around us. The slightest journey must be performed in numbers, and with armed bodies of men.

astily shipped off to Mexico; valuables were secretly buried, and good-byes and partings, and tears, and God knows what anguish, mixed with a little propensity for fighting. A large supply of army hay was burned; cannon were buried; the valleys were burned over to retard the enemy; all the supplies, except fifteen days rations, removed; hospital and other stores shipped in the direction of San Antonia; and a refuge fondly talked of in the mountain fastnesses near Fort Davis.
