The account wht to-day is not the less attractive, however.

TAKING CARE OF THD ORPHANS. Yesterday afternoon the Orphan Asylum Soctety of New York celebrated its sixty-fiith anniversary in Steinway Hall, which, notwithstaading the rain, was well fliled, The children, in their cleanly attire and cheery appearance, looked well and happy and entertained their visitors with Lymna and songs, sweetly sung by thom. Tho annnal reports which were read show that on April 1, 1870, there were 158 children in tue institution and that 59 were received during the year ending April 1, 1871. But daring the same period there were 41 arged 38 and sent + to the Juvenile Asyitim 2, leaving 157 now re:main- lng.

United States and Mexican Troops Usnally Co- operate Against the Indians—An Extraordi- nary State of Affairs at Fort Goodwin— How the Apaches Are Fed and Per- mitted te Rob and Murdor--Happy Hunting Grounds in Chihuahua. A gentleman who spent 4 number of yeara in Sonora, Arizona and New Mexico, and who lately feturned to this city, called at the HrRaLD office yesterday morning to explain the cause of the In- dian massacre in Chihuahua and the subsequent disastrous collision betwecn the Mexican and United States troops. He mado the following statement of facts, which will be read with intere: THE APACHE INDIANS are the most cruel and bloodthirsty of all the tribes of the Plains, It is possible to tame a Comanclie and civilize him, but an Apache can sever be anything but what he js. The citizens of Arizona, Sonora, New Mexico and chihishaa ré- gard the Apaches as common énemies and kill them whenever and wherever they can. They are, how- ever, friendiy with other Indians, It has always been the cnssom for United States troops when in pursuit of these wretches to follow them into Mext- | Can territory whenever euch a course was rendered necesssry, and Mexican troops in chase of thieving and murdering bands of Apaches wero allowed to come into our territory, the cltizens co-operating with them, It was never considored A VIOLATION OF TERRITORY by the local authorities or the people for the troops to cross over the border in parsuit of the savages, If the Apaches, mounted on fizet horses, could raid throngh Arizona, and then, after committing depre- {| dations, fly to the protection of the Mexican authorl- ties, in Chihuahua, unpursued beyond the boundary line, tho territory would have to be evacuated by the citizens; and, in the same way, if the Mexican troops. were not permitted to foliow the Apaches over the frontier, very few of thom would suder for their crimes. Up to this time the United States and ‘tean soldiers have always co-operated against thesavages. In 1869 | A SEVERE BATTLE was fonght between a large body of Indians and Mexican and American troops at a place fitty miles south of Vort Bowie, ta Sonora. There were about two handred Mexicans, two companies of the First United States cavairy and one company of infantry, all under the command of Caplato and Brevet Colonel Barnard, engaged in the fight. ‘phe Apaches had rather the best of It, havmag held their position. Imention it as acaso in point to show that the military of both nations make common cause against the enemy, Everywhere in the Southern Territories soldiers and citizens, American and Mexican, unite og ae the Apaches. Unfortunately fer the peace of Arizona sh Hay lished for the Apaches at Fort Goodwin, Arizona. From a thousand to fifteen hundred savages were collected there. I have myself seen as many as twelve hundred in the fort. Matters went on pretty weil for a short tims and THEN THE DEVILTRY COMMENCHD, Secure in their base of supplics the eavages left the fort {n parties from time to time, fir=t Roane themselves with passes from the commanding officer riding out, assembled at in appointed rendezvous, from whence they raided on penceiul - setulements aad mur- dered and robbed as they pleased. When their leavo of absence was up they reported for rations. Jn 1866 Colonel Dunkeiberger, of the First cavalry, trailed a body of Indians who had stolen cattle 290 mile’, and, to his great aston- ishment, was met within tilty miles of Fort Good- win vy the savages le was aiter, who produced passes and demanded the protection of his troops; and he had to protect them, the passes and *protec- tection” being signed by the commandaut of the fori, Colonel Guido Chapin. Some of the stolen cattle were found with them just Killed, aud more on the hoof in the mouatains near by; yet the savages: had tobe protected by the troops. Now, ANOTHER INCIDENT. In 1870 Apache Indians, furnished with passes from Fort Goodwin, murdered Lieutenant Israels, an Officer of tue volunteer sarvice, and @ Mr, Kea- hedy. Mr. leracla was stripped and ats heart cut out; he was scalped and otherwise horribly muti- lated.

Now, of course, the anxiety of the miltary at Fort Goodwin to protect these savages requires exe Plavation. It can be quickly given. There are, say 3,200 Indians onthe reservation and abeut- the fort, fed and clothed by the officers of the govern- meat, Uncle Sem pays a high price forthe sup- port of the cutthrvats; outdo you think that they are well fed? You should be at a frontier post for awhile. Corn is worth at Fort Goodwin seven cents per pound, in gold, und other articles of food are proportionately dear, Now, J know fer 9 fact~I have seen with my own eyes—that those Indians on the reservation have been fod with busks and musty corn that cavalry horses refuso to eat; witn rotten meat, entrails of animals, and | remcimber an instance where a party of starving Apaches wore iven food in the shapo of an unborn calf taken j ‘om a slaughtered cow. If will be readily seen tiat _when the government provides good food aud plenty of it for the Indians, and tucy receive only and offal, SOMEBODY MUST KE MAKING MONEY, ‘You can put your own construction upon ft, and rhaps account for the anxiety of the military au- horities to protect the Apaches from the vengeance of the Mexicans. ‘here are people in authority m Fors Goodwin who would return to the States in disgust If the Indians were killed off. Butitisa rich placer pow, Then there ts another reason why the military are 80 anxious to protect the savages, ‘There are 4 number of good looking scuaw: Fort Goodwin. The officers of the garrison are either unmarried or have their wives in the States, I make no siaterments that I cannot substantiate. I think that the Mexican troops did quite right in chasing up the savages, and thatthe United States troops wero entirely in the wrong, They should have helped to kili the devils. The attack on Keard & Miller’s train resulted in the Killing of five Ameri- ans, besides Keard aud tis wife. The bodies were foi bly mutilaied, This occurred near the boundary of Arizona, on the Mexican side. it is evident, then, that the savages were from th Fort Goodwin reservation, and were ratding throngh Chihuahua, They doubtless expected to get back sale to THE PROTECTION OF THE FORT before the Mexican trontier troops could overtara them. At Was, probably, while they were near the fort and hotiy pursued by the Mexicana that the collision occured between the greasers and oni troops. This is my explanation of the butchery, an I think itis correct.
