By the arrival of the steamboat Cocopah, from the steamer New bern at the mouth of the river, our town is honored (?) with the- presence of five of the Indian delegation who recently were tak eng to Washington by Gen. How ard to .see the Great Father- Three of the Chiefs returned to Camp Apache by way of New Mexico. The names of these celebrities are "Louis Moraga. Pima brave; "Antonio Azul," son of Pima Chief and heir apparent to the chieftancy; "Jose Baka tay," Apache Mohave brave; "Charley Aratagua," Apache-Yuma "Ascencion Riga," Papago Chief. In conversation with Louis Moraga, who speaks and writes the English language, we learn that these .braves are well satis fied with their visit, bat not so with the conduct of Gen. Howard.5 Upon inquiring of the reason why they did not like Gen. Howard, and if he had not taken them to religious meetings, !?e replied: "Oh, yes; Gen. Howard take us all to Church every Sunday. But when we were asked to speak to the cengregation, and we at tempted to tell the truth in rela tion to the Apache character, and their outrageous conduct to us and the white race, Gen. Howard got angry and would not allow as to say anything detrimental to that murdereus tribe. He made us Pima and Papago Indians, and the: whites, who are poor and peaceful, who work hard for two or three years to raise a cow or posy, appear as devils before the people there, simply because we defended our property. The Apa ches, who subsist by robbing and murdering us, he represented, as Saints." They return with trunks and valises well filled with clothes and blankets, and each hasxa medal, made of solid silver, presonted to. them by President. Grant. On one side is inscribed: "United States of America. Liberty, Justice and Equality;. , .Let us have peace."" In the centre of this - is a profile portrait of U. 8. Grant. On there verse side are the words: "On earth peace; good "will toward men," with the seal of the De partment of the Interior. They like Washington very much, but still they prefer the mountains of Arizona for their homes. Potatoes .and Baker. onions at II. E. A Canard. The San Diego Union comesy out in an article about a Mexican Custom House at the mouth of the river. Want of space prevents our commenting upon' it exept to state that 'the Union has swal lowed an unusually "big whop per." There is to be no Custom Houtte there, and if there were, no duties could be exacted upon goods eng route for this p!ace,for by treaty stipulation, American vessels have righof free navigation upon the waters of the Colorado river and the Gulf of California within Mexican Territory., ' Heavy 'B ain, From a, private letter received here by Wm. B. Hooper A Co., we 'learn that the rain of the 8th inst., which ex tended tb this place, and the dam aging effect of which we felt in our office, came pouring down upen Gila Bend like a huge water spout.
