The LAST OF ARIZONA WHOLESALE IN
DIAN SLAUGHTER THERE.-Adviees from
Fort Craig New Mexico, have just been re-
ceived in Washington, which state that two
families, Wardsworth and AXES, original
settlers in the Sonvita valley, Arizona,
have just come in from that territory.
These parties state that the Apache In
dams have completely overrun Arizona and
either killed or caused to flee every white
person in the territory west of the Rio
Grande. These two families are all that
have escaped from The interior. They state
that many victims of the merciless Apa-
ches were lying at different points il the
territory and by the roadside, and upon the
bodies of which the wolves were feasting.
Tucson, the principal town, was destroyed
The few inhabitants caught there had been
killed, and everything perishable BY FIRE
fell prey to the flames.

RH- A bill,for the reorganization OF the
cavalry forces of the United States army
has passed the Senate. IL reduces the num-
Der of cavalry regiments to forty, with
twelve hundred men in each regiment
The number that had been mustered into
the service was seVenty-eight regiments,
the cost Of which was enormous. The
utility OF SO large a force was considered
very questionable. The disbanded cavalry
soldiers are to have three months pay
The forty regiments to be retained will be
filled up, and the remaining men will be
discharged. A cavalry force on the Dor
ders is deemed necessary until the rebellion
shall be entirely crushed. 1t is the most
effective force that can be employed TO de-
fsnd the borders of loyal States from the
predatory incursions of guerrilla bands
The bill is yet to be considered by tie
House.

THE REsULT OF EIGHT CENsUsEs.-We
were favored recently by the Superintendent
of the Census with a copy of tabular
statement, prepared in his bureau, which,
from its comprehensiyenes and condensa-
ton, deserves a passing notice. The table
comprises the aggregate population of each
State and Territory of the United States,
every tenth year, from 1890 to 1860, inclu-
sive, chasing in separate columns, at each
period and in each State, the number of
" whites, free eolored, and Slaves"
and we have all these aggregates of eight
different censnses in table thiTty-sir inches
by taoeIOe. We presume that the reader
could hardly, of himself, begin to estimate
the amount of human labor that was ex-
pended in travelling, obtaining, recording,
and reporting the details compressed into
this space of SO inches by Il, or the weight
in tons of the vast volumes of manuscript
returns from which this compendium has
been reduced. Would the reader believe
that these masses of figures, in manuscript
Of the eight censuses, would load one hun
bred wagons Yet it is so, incredible as it
may appear. What labor, then, the re-
duction of all this to one sheet

A BRAVE FELLow.-In the Fort Henry
gunboat light, in the explosion on the Es-
sex, one of the seamen was shockingIy
scalded. His clothing was at once remov-
ed, linseed oil and -four applied to his par
boiled flesh, and was carefully wrapped in
blankets, and placed in bed. a few mo
ments after came the news that the rebel
flag was struck, and the fort surrendered.--
In his enthusiasm, he sprang out of his
berth, ran up on deck, and waved his blan-
ket in the air, huzzaing for the stars and
stripes. The poor fellow, after the 6rst ex-
element was over, was assisted below, and
in the night he died, full of rejoicing to the
last at the triumph of the old flag - CHI

The JACK FaIstan. OF the New YORK

Press.
The eagerness with which Eastern jour
nails are appropriating to Gen. Mcclellan,
Secretary Stanton, and the President the
glory of the late victory is absurd and
highly offensive to the brave men by whose
stalwart arms Fort Donelson was taken.
The following appears IN all the New
York papers, telegraphed by those wonder
full liars, "our special correspondence
Gen. Mcclellan. sat by the telegraph ope-
rator at his headquarters, Saturday; Gen.
Buell. did the same at Louisville, and Gen.
Halleck at st. Louis and, the circait being
made complete between the three, they con-
yersed uninterruptedly for hours on the
pending battle at Fort Donelson, and made
the orders and dispositions of forces to per-
feet the victory and pursue the broken en-
envy. The battle was fought, we may say,
almost under the eye of Gen. Mcclellan
So remarkable an achievement has seldom
adorned science.
When we take into consideration the
fact, that on Sunday, while Gen. Mcclellan
was moving his columns and charging the
enemy, By telegraph, our army was safely
encsmped within the fort, the stars and
stripes having been planted over it before
c'e1's w 'e-FSrE'HH feft ms ''uownY- na--A1 VI
are led to say with our enterprising cotem-
pOraries that " so remarkable an achieve
ment has seldom adorned science" This is
a sample of New York journalism, and this
is the character of the compliments laVished
upon Gen. Mcclellan, We presume his
prayer is "saVe me from my frieDds. -
Praise so absurd and impudent as the above,
is calculated to injure General McCiellan's
reputation more than the attacks Of all his
critics.
Secretary Stanton, in that noble letter OF
his, explains the true strategy" whereby
our late victories have been obtained, as sci
forth in Gen. Grants message to Gen. Buck
ner, I propose to moVs Immediately up0n
yoUr 10oTks p The spirit of Secretary Stan
ton was communicated to his suballerns
and so soon as the army was put in motion
and it was announced that the enemy waI
to be driven at the point of the bayonet from
all his strongholds, at that moment the vic
tory was almost won. The army of the
Union is invincible if it is led against The
foe. Wherever the vast power of the
Government is hurled upon our treacheroul
and perured foes, they will be crushed tt
powder. The honor of the victories achiev
ed by our forces is not due to any one man
but may be credited to the patriotic spiri
and resolute courage of freemen fighting fol
the honor of a great nation.
The politicians and demagogues who are
preparing a candidate for the next Presiden.
tial race, care very little for the private sol
diers in the ranks, who win our battles
They seek, by misrepresentation, to secure
for some one man, the honors of the victo-
ries, that he may be used by them as an as
pirant for Office. So far as we are concerned
we shall refuse to give credit where it does
not belong. II is to the men who fought
and who won, on the bloody field, that, I'M
der Con, the glory of the victory belongs.

There is general desire on the part Of
all loyal citizens that the permit system
should be at once abandoned. The follow
ing article FROM the Louisville Journal, ex-
presses our views upon the subject:
Under this head the Cincinnati Gazette
makes the following timely suggestion:
1t is about time that the Custom House
permit system was abolished. The rebels
have been driven so far away, and the ave
nues of communication are SO completely
controlled by the Government at the entran-
ees to the seeded States, that the necessity
which led to its adoption no longer exists.
abused though it frequently has been, the
merchants have borne it patiently, notwfth-
standing the annoyance it has caused; and
it is proper that they should be relieved,
now that the continuance Of the embargo
can serve no good purpose. It may be well,
for some time to come, to require boats to
take out elearances. Such a regulation as
this could be easily complied with.
/ We very cordially second this suggestion
The rebellion is new to all practical intents
and purposes suppressed in both Kentucky
and Missouri. In neither of these States is
there longer such insurrectionary dis
tricts as the law of introduction or the in
terdictive order of Secretary Chase contem-
j plates, The Border SlaxehaIdipC States.
from The Alleghanies to the Rocky Noun
tains, are at length free in effect from the
curse of revolutionary dominions Through
out all this grand extent Of territory the
sway of the nation is re-established. Surely
the privileges which belong to this benign
sway ought to be allowed to spring up be
meath its protection, unchecked by restric-
| tions which belong alone to the dark sway
that has vanished. The reason for these
restrictions has disappeared, and,s in
our judgement, the restrictions them
selves ought Immediately to follow. Jus
tice and expediency alike require it,. VIZ
commend the subject to the early considers
ton of the Secretary of the Treasury.
Since writing the paragraph above We
have learned that the Surveyor of the Porl
of Louisville has decided to relax the em
barge in respect to certain shipments OF
the Louisville and Nashville railroad Thi
decision is eminently discreet and proper
The policy hereby indicated is the RICH
one, and we do not doubt that Mr.. Score
tary Chase will speedily extend it to ths
whole Commonwealth. We again. com
! mend the propriety of this step to his earl
consideration.

tured at Nashville 1t is the center of the
railroad system of the State, and commands
all the roads; and that is its only strate-
getic importance. The surrender of Nash
vile cuts off Columbus, and it is certain to
be evacuated. The late flag Of truce sent

sition to evacuate the town.. If the garri-
son fail to surrender, Commodore Foot will
