THE INDIAN CAMPAIGN IN ARIZONA.

THE INDIANS ooHPTETELY sUBDuED-A WAR ENDED
THAT HAS coHTIsuRD sINoE THE DAYS OF COR
TEE. '
Surgeon L. ]. Baily, U. S. A., attached to the
Department of Arizona, forwards us copies Of
General Orders, No. IA, issued by General Crook,
atPreseott, ON the date of April 9th. We make
an extract from them. below. Our correspon-
dent in a hurried note says "rhis Will give
you the state of affairs in Arizona. You will see
that this great Indian War is over. All praise
and honor to General Crook How quickly he
would settle the Modocs, il he were in Oregon
They may have to send him yet His name is
terror to all Indians. They think he never
sleeps, and his familiar name among many OF
their tribes, is 1.-THE White Wolf"
The first three paragraphs OF the General Or
ders referred to are as follows:
"The operations OF the troops in this Depart
ment in the late campaigns against the Apaches
entitle them to reputation second to none IN
the Indian warfare.
I'm the face OF obstacles heretofore consider
ed fnsurmountable, encountering rigorous cold
in the mountains, followed in quick succession
by the intense heat and arid waste OF the desert,
not infrequently at dire extremities for want of
water to quenoh their prolonged thirst; and
when their animals were stricken by pestilence,
or the country became too rough to be traversed
by them, they left them and carrying on their
backs such meagre supplies as they might, they
persistently followed on, aud plunging uncx-
pectedly into chosen positions in lava beds,
caves and canyons, thev have outwitted and
beaten the wiliest of foes with slight loss COM
comparatively, to themselves and finally closed
an Indian war that has been waged since the
days Of Certez.
White the department Commander is aware
that this task has been performed IN pursuance
of commissions held. and obligations assumed
with a high sense of duty and honor, it is due TO
the officers and men engaged that they should
know that the task has not been thankless
one, but that distinguished officers of the Civil
and War Department the General of the Army
and OF the Division have advised him OF their
appreciation OF the services thus rendered"

TEN urSu1EsIs HAMrIHoN's STUDIOS,

TEN MIEUIEsIE HASrIToN's sTUDIEs- ~
As Won pass up for down Chestnut street, in
PHILADELPHIA the modest announcement of
"5smss HAMILTON, Artist" may attract your at
tention ON the stairway beside the Hall 4 Garri-
sons establishment. In the third story front,
after climbing thither, the othey day, we found
th painter, busy in the midst OF his work, his
painting coat on, and palette and brushes in
hand.
Mr., Hamilton Is we'll known In Wilmington,
pereonally. as his pictures are everywhere and
ne is laboring away, now, az industriously as OF
any former period upon q number OF pictures,
some of which will certainly add to his already
high reputation. Among these We especially

Great misses lie in the right foreground, ana
they have the special merit OF great richness OF
color. the different strata and copglomerete, as
well as the MOSES clustering over all, giving
charming variety of hue. In the background,
other cliffs stretch away, more rugged and less
distinguished by colortpg.
Among other pictures that pleased us neuch
were several marines, in Mr. Hamiltop's distin-
tive style, including large one, representing
"A Squali in Boston Harbor," with boat and
crew in tho foreground, shipping all about it, and
the city rising gradually at the back. Over all a
dark March sqnall is Just hurrying up. This is
grand picture, and some wealthy patron OF art
who loves Boston should become ita owner.
Mr. Hamilton is also engaged In working up
series Of sketches obtained along the Jersey
Coast, particularly at Cape May, last summer
Some OF these he has already well forwarded to
completion, and they present all the amusing
and striking details Of summer scenes on the
coast. One shows Cape May Inlet, and the near
beach another presents beach view, with the
Stockton House; in another. the hght-house
rises out of dense bank of fog, the rays from
the lantern cleaning down upon the mist; an
other presents view from the lover extremity
OF the bathing beach, at the Excursion House.
and great company of bathers are rolling and
tumbling in the surf.
With all this work on hand, the light and
pleasant studio seems we'll filled with canvass,
and we do not feel surprised that MIR. Hamilton
thinks ID doubtful whether he can get away this
summer for any extended trip, even to his IA

No nositiye selection was MADE, but there was q
concurrence of opinion in favor of the first
named site. which is tantamount to a selection.
Tha matter was left n the hands of Mr.. Mullett
