Bloody Apaches.

A dispatch from Fort Apache, Arizona, says: The Indians who have broken from the reservation are mostly Warm Springs, the remnants of Victoria’s old band, and some few Cbiricahuas. They number probably ninety warriors. They killed Sterling, chief of the scouts, and one Indian at the agency, and then struck north, on the road to this post. Three prospectors were killed near the Gila river. They completely gutted three freight wagons, but the teamsters escaped, being absent hunting stock. The host lien, after tearing down and cut-* ting the telegraph line to Fort Thomas, struck east across Ash ergek valley, and are now intrenched in rocky strongholds in the vicinity of Eagle creek, about forty or fifty miles from the New Mexican kne, awaitihg recruits from the neigh oonng tribes, Ten men, sheep herders, are known to be killed in that vicinity, and many other settlers have not been beard from. Troops from Thomas and this post are pushing out rapidly on the trail.
