The Arizona Miner Prescott, Arizona Territory February 13th, 1869 Military And Indian Affairs . — From Thomas Hodges r who acted as guide for Col Young, on the recent scout, we learn that the combined force of Cavalry, composed of Companies L, and B, of Fort Whipple, with Col. Young's command, left Wickenburg on the 8th instant, and proceeded to a point not far from the place where the Indians attacked Col. Young's command, but could go no further owing to the muddy condition of the country. Plenty of Indian sign was seen, but no Indians. One night, the rascals shot into col. Young's camp, killing one horse. They also stole five of his pack animals. The troops got back to Fort Whipple Tuesday last. Col. Young and command will return to their post, Camp Willows, as soon as the road becomes sufficiently dry to admit of travel. So far, the Indians have the best of the campaign, but Col Young is determined upon turning the tables soon. Our valiant Whipple boys returned chafed at not finding Indians.
