Los Angeles, Cal., March 30, 1862.
Maj. R. ©. DRUM, Assistant Adjutant-General, U. S. Army, San Francisco, Cal. : MAJOR: Iinclose copies of letters written at the latest date from Fort Yuma. You will see that from reports of the Indians Captain McCleave and eight men, and Mr. White, at the Pima Villages, have been carried off by the secessionists now at Tucson. It may turn out to be a good thing that these men have been taken; it will make all others more vigilant. Pishon should reach Tucson by the 2d proximo at furthest, when there should be some results more gratifying than the capture of so fine an officer as Captain McCleave. I am, major,
very respectfully,
Colonel First California Volunteers, Commanding.
NoTE.—It is not known generally, nor do I wish it known for the
present, that Captain McCleave has been captured
