But we undertake to announce the settled par. pose of the democrats of this State to be “‘counted in” al! auch contests, and to bear manfaliy the part andexercise the position abd power belcoging to the State which tucy represent. Less than thig woula not he consistent with self respect, and would be an indivaity to which only the craven would gubmit. But what are the meangand who are the men to be cm- ployed to carry out this conspiracy to divide and conquer the democracy ef New York? Let Gov.

Here we have the programme Iail down—the district system and double delegations. This echeme they rely on to make “Virginia a unit,” ‘a united south,” and to enable them ‘to count all the time without New York.’’ The New York News seems to have been honored with the appointment of organ of the conspirators in this State. It came out early for the district eystem—profeseediy on Patriotic grounds, and before ibe purpose of the move- ment was revealed. Gov, Wise sheds light upon its poll- cy, and couples the name of its proprietor and director witb bis pian “to organize by districts, and either whip the enemy or send two delegations,” and speaks thus tenderly of him:— ‘The Hon. F. Wood is professedly, and really, I believe, a friend, and of course 1 would, in good tatth, bé glad of bis'in Quence, and wou'd do nothing to impair it, aid could not ju reject his kind ald; but you may rely npon it that J ain not all in the hands of | completely, nor at ‘Mr. Wood, or of any man who bresthes be bas always been iriendly to me, and I am to bim, but There ia always on fair and independent terms, Dothing in ou? relations wlich abould keep slo’ aay friend of either.

It is, certainly, chivatrous and manly on the part of “a friend,” to stand by this remarkable epis- tle. when it is 6o mush in need of backers. Nor does the expoeure of the programme for dwarfing the democracy of New York deter the News from persist- ing in Governor Wise’s plan ‘to organize by districts.” It hag the cooiness to attempt to involve other democrats of undoubted fidelity in its own complicity. It says:— ‘This is therefore, not only our platform, but the platform of the national democracy. Let all sustain i.

The troops now at Fort Yuma have suffered much from heat, and are also aiflicted with scurvy. Not long sitce an officer of the Third artillery, who bad been stationed at the post for over a year, in‘ormed me that Fort Yuma was the most thy spot in the United States. Genera! Clark has determined to relieve the com- panies at present there. For this purpose company (, Sixth infantry, Lieutenant Higgins commanding, leaves here today ‘on the government schooner Monte- rey, for the Colorado; Captain Garnott's company, of the same regiment, will be taken from San Pedro by the brig Floyd, and aleo conveyed to Fort Yuma. It is also the intention of General Clarke to post a company of troops among the Pimos and Maricopas, in Arizona, the Indian Agent at that place having made an urgent re- quisition to that effect. A few wecks ago the steamer Colorado was despatched for Fort Yuma, with supplies for the command of Major Armistead, posted in the Mohave country, but owing to the rapidity of the current, caused by the rapid meltiag of the snowe in the mountains, ehe was compelled to relin- quieh the trip. . There is a rumor to the effect that the Indians on the Celeste Reservation, Southern Oregon, have broke and returned to Range River, their former abode. A requist- tion has been maac ou General Clarke by the Governor of Oregon for troops to keep the Indians under sudjection, but the General has no troops to spare. ‘Mejor Reynolds’ company of heavy artillery are now en route from Camp Floyd for Fort Vancouver, Washington Territory.

OUR TUBAC CORRESPONDENCE. Trsac, July 21, 1859, A Ranche Robbed by the Apachet—Despoiling the Sonora Mining Company—A Herd of Ninety three Mules and Hortes Stompeded—Pursuit of the Thieves—Recovery of Fifty of the Animals—Our Correspondent’s Missing— Fallacy of Indian Treaties—Danger to the Overland Mail—News from Sonora—New Mines, dc. Arivaca ranche is situated about thirty miles from Tu- bac, and is the locality of the Sonora Company’s works for the reduction of silver ore, and algo the pasture for company animals. As the stamping and amalgamating machinery is run by mule power, a large number of ani- mals are always kept on hand. On the night of the 19th inst. the herd of mules and borses, numbering ninety three in all, was grazing near the buildings guarded by several Mexicans. The moon was full but often obssured by thick clouds. Taking ad- vantage of these dark periods, a band of some twenty Apaches managed to creep into the herd, which was scat- tered over considerable ground, and having each quietly secured an animal they raised a yell, and before the guards knew what was the matter the entire herd was stampeded and off at full speed for the mountains. The moon, ehining out just at the moment, dis :ovored the Apaches urging along the animals with whips and Jances. It was too late to gaye them, Tuere chanced at the time to be some half dozen mules St the recnotios forks, and with these @ small arty started on the trail, while an expreas was sent to the Di- rector of the Company at Tubac. The property stolen was worth over seven thousand dollars, and every possible means was taken for its recovery. A pay at once started out from Tuba, and news was sent to Fort Buchanan, forty miles distant, }{2antime the Indians were making rapid Progress, and after avcdling around among the hills for a time, to confuse their pu. ae mate a ng eng to en the road from Tabac ‘uceon, near the Canod rancho, probably designin plunder that establishment. z Le ee It £0 happened, however, that the animals at Canod Were all corralled, and it being near daybreak, several persons were on their feet. As the Indians emerged from an extensive thicket a short distance from the house, they Were gecn, and several mon instantly started out with their rifles, to get n shot. Finding they had stumbled upon @ hornet’s nest, the Apaches at oace sheered off and commenced changing from their tried animals to freeh ones, anticipating a chase, but being clogely pur- sued they were obliged to start on leaving some fifty mules which broke off from the herd. These antmats the men from the Canod succeeded in interceptingjand driving off, leaving sixteen horses and twenty-five mules in the hands of the Apache3—avimala valued at threo thougaud dolars. Among the horacs was my own, Which, being on & brief furlough at Arivaca, of course shared the fate of the others. When last meen Devil was bostrode by a big half naked Apache, who, with his lance, devoted himself to pricking on the poor mules, several of which gave out and were abandoned. The Canod men, after having secured the recovered mules, mounted and followed the trail for geome ten miles, when they were discovered by the Indian rear guard of five men, armed with guns, who, sending forward tho alarm, the main body divided into small parties and struck for the Pinal country by different routes, and the pursuit by one party being’ thus rendered useless, it was Abandoned. Intelligence of the robvery arrived at Fort Buchanan the noxt day, and at clover o'clock at night Captain 2. S. Ewell, with twenty-five sclected men, left the fort and struck across the country towards Tucson, hopiag to in- tercept one of the trails, when it will be followed up with that vigor and skill for which the Captain is noted. As an Indian trailer and fighter he has no superior in tho United States dragoons. Up to this date we have heard nothing of the soidicrs. I am told that Captain Ewell remarkod on starting that he would follow the thieves to hell if they went there. As they made for the Gila river, Captain E will get as near to the diaagreeab'o lo cality he mentioned aa it is possible to go in this world. We had, or rather tho Indian ageate had, a “moral suasion” cotton cloth and bianke: treaty with these Pinal Apaches, made some months since at Canondel Oro. I weut you an account of the farce, and predicted it would be openly and flagrantly violated by tho In- dians before their blankets were half worn out; and g0 it was. There have been half a dozon violations of the “treaty,” and the Indian Department has not noticed them. The overland mail coach has been stopped at night by armed warriors, and the passengers made to pay tribute of tobacco and corn before proceeding. The ia mail was robbed of seven horses; the mission San Xavier, occupied by squatters, plunderet of noarly all ite stock. These areafew prominent cases. Still, willing to try for once more, and, I hope, finally, the treaty policy, the Americans did not retaliate, Scouting parties of Apaches raisacked the country, making themselves ac quainted with every exposed Position, obtaining fall knowledge of the amount of stock kept by each ranchero and the manner in which it was horded; and when the; gould profit po more by their spying they commonced, and their 4 blow foll upon the pidneer mining com- y of this region, @ concern just omor, <7 condition, afer baying yo peeicet aie youre, without protection or redress {rom the geaoral go- "hen the ‘fit; leanot been, Tea 7 melee B n, by accident, the company woul have been Sompelisa to © Cuction operations entirely, to the thougund dellare each week.

Will you please inform your very pumerous readers (many of whom jn this portion of the State are personally Interested in the matter) what bas become of the mana- gers or getters up of a Kansas emigration scleme which originated in Auburn, N. Y.,eome two or three years since, and of which you gave an exposition at tho time. Tt 18 believed that thousands of dollars were sont to the treasurer of the company from differont parts of the State in payment for scrip, but now it seems imposs. bie to as- certain what has become of the money, or to obtain any satisfaction or explanation in aay form, notwithstanding: the repeated efforts made to do so, The (acid here be- gin to believe, therefore, that the whole affair, in its origin and ultimate design, was and is a wicked swindle, aud it is Lo wonder that threats are made by somo of the swin- dled to commence criminal proceedings against the authors of it, ip Auburn, If thoy can be found, I have no doubt but hundreds of individuals residing in different parts of the State have beon duped and choated by the originators of the so called “Central New York Kaosas Emigration Corspany.”’ The New York HeRaiy is proverbial for ferreting ous and publicly chastising tbose who live and thrive ie, gains dishonestly procured from poor, duped humanity, and therefore if is we come to you for assistance, ox- rota that the widespread publicity it will receive rough your paper will bring the party or parties ongt in this nefarious business before the public in such & man- nor ‘hat at lenet he or they will be despised and on as too mean and dograded to be respected or tt horeafters se THE DUPED.
