GENERAL GEORGE cRooY.

since his advent in Arizona, has hardly a parallel in history. For more than two hundred years the treacherous and bicodthirsty Apa. ches had been unrestraiued in their diaholicai work of murder and robbery. Even after the pur- chase of the Territory by the United States, from Mexico, the bloody work still went on.
 The traveller, the prospector, the farmer, alike fell victims to the relentless savage, until every road, trail. and mountain pass, ran red with the blood of inno- cent people.
 Helpless children were ruth iessly murdered, and the mothers reserved fer a fate worse than death. Men taken aiiqe were subjected t0 uuSpeakable torture, stripped naked aud inpaled upon inc thOrny cactus and burned by 8 AioWy fife, wAiie the savage fiends danced around in glee, shooting arrows into their wriili- ing victims, or tearing the flesh piece-meal from their quivering bottles, unti! death at last came 10 their relief.
 The Scul sickeus at the bare re- eirai of the fiendish harbarities practiced by the Indians Of -Ari- zula upon the defenceiess settlers.
 Nhen the savages had net inc opportunity to take life, they Woaid skulk around every settle. meGt, a"d mining camp, wayIay every road and trail, and steal ,hnd crive away all the stock; thus leaving the miner, the fYay- eier, and the teamste-, without ttTc nlcans of transportation, ard the farmer without ,ire means of til!ing the 5oil. Thus nsatrers went on from year 10 year; tAe aayages becoming mere a.aboidanel ty success ic their deVii!sh work, And more skjl;fuI in the use oi arms, which they always obtained! from those they sleW,whirh arnls were always cf the best patterns. for 70 msu Would come io this bloody land with poor arua. And at the same time that they ob- taiued their arms from the dead bodies Of their victims, they also .goE the anmuuition f3r sacA arms.
 ;he i&ws Of the United States were stieng.h ex,en,led over i, f. Ie:ri.cry. Eroops were sent here for the paTp0se cf checking the h9S'Ii!ies of the h tian5 and pro- tecting the settlers. They accom-

Still with the same result, the saYages Becoming more botd ils .hey saw the inability oi the troops 10 pghish and subdue theu. It seemed as though there was no hope: The people realized to the fullest exteat inc force of that old adage, Hope deferred maketh the heart sick"
 But light cams at last. Arizona vas made a Department, and Ger. Crook assiSEed to the cOmmsnd!

to command a Department, cut red tape right there, and replied, "I will make his. rank high enough" and sent him out here with the rank of Brevet Major General.
 The hearts of the people beat high. for the fame ot Gen. Crook as an Indian fighter had come be- fore him. But tfiey were doomed 10 another disappointment. No sooner had Gen. Crook got fairly into the field than that infamous "peace con,miss;on" prevailed up. on President Grant 10 allow them to make enc more trial to subdue the Apaches by prayers and pres. enIs.
 Accordingly. that miserable .hypoc.iie. liar and sca,liwag, Vim cent Collier, was sent out. Orders were sent to Gen. Crook to sus- pend heslilities until Collier had had an opportunity to try his blandishments upon the ''poor Indian" Collier had & fair trial, and the result of his mission, WAS worse than nothing. He returned to Washington and made his re- port, which was tissue of the , most glowing faIsehoods. So pal pabie were his lies that the Presi. dent signiie1 to him that be would accept his resignation, as q member of the peace commission, and he was laid upon the shelf Thus Gen. Crock was again left free io wage active War against the h lStile Indians. He laid his plans with admirable skill, and had just commenced a campaign that promised the happiest results, when that band Of add!c-hesded fanatics called the "paace cozn77ission," raised such a terrible howl in behalf of the "poor hsf'tss's" ihst Crook vas about 70 kill. that ti.e President: again yielded to their ilportu nifty and sent out the saint'y ! Howard, he who is tke pattern of Christianity fH the Army; he who says long prayers that he may be heard of men," he who 'St0!e the livery of heaven to serve the devi! in;" even this renowned i fhyrocrite ard scs'!iwag, came to l Arizona.
 Il is useless to recount his oper- stions. Every nIan in the Terri tory knows that he accomplished nothing. worse than nothing
 He. too, returned to Washington, Fau,i made 8 report fall of false hoods.
 The ''peace cornmission' had thus ample time ld opportunity { 10 try their boasted policy; the miserable results oT which are
 wei i,,n0wr. The two great cham pions of fanaticisni and folly having thus failed. @nd nee'' ahcwn up before the cnuasry ih Their true uoi0rs, President Grant co;iciu,ted that # was time to le! Gen. Crook try his policy.
 i;l fey short months, by his most admirable skill, his coo. iudg .neu', his kncwi edge Of ia d,an character and his great ad. riiiii5tTsttiVe ability, he has. brought peace aEd security 60 thi, ioug distracted coantry. He did not come here with blast Of trum- pets. He cid not come with fuss ans. feathers" He came q plain. mild, unsssumiDg gentle. man. witi,out boast or. ravsdo.
