PRICE ON THE WAR PATH. - It pleases us to learn that this gallant officer has again taken the field against the Indians Parties recently from the Toll— Gate, on the Prescott and Mohave road, inform us that he with Col. Young , another gallant officer , and companies E, and K, 8th cavalry, were about starting for Camp Date Creek, where they will be joined by B company of the same regiment, when the command will march to the Colorado River - Their object in going there, is, we are told, to pick out a lot of murderers from among the Reservation Indians , and place them where they cannot kill any more whites Colonel Price being well satisfied that it was Reservation Indians that murdered Mr. Hadley What has satisfied him of this fact is that on a recent scout in the Wallapai country, he fell in with Sheerum and his warriors , who told the Colonal that it was not Wallapais that have been murdering and robbing, but "peaceable friendlies " from the Reservation, and to prove it, Sheerum, with 60 of his warriors , took the trail of the friendlies and drove them upon the Reservation grounds The chief , Leovi—Leovi, and Askit, a brother of Sheerum, are with Col. Price's command, and if we are correctly informed , and his warriors will also visit the Sheerum Reservation .
