THE APACHEs.IGeneral Crook and his
forces in Arizona are cleaning out the Apaches
at lively rate. On March 18th three men
were killed by the Indians, and within twenty
days thereafter the troops killed seventy-nine
warriors and captured twenty six squaws and
children belonging to the gang of Apaches who
committed the murders. On the 3lst Of March
an express arrived at Fort Whipple from Cap
tain G. NJ. Randall, bringing intelligence that
he had killed forty seven warriors aud captured
seven squaws. There was great rejoicing in
Prescott over the news, and the people of Ar-
IONA award great credit to General Crook for
the vigorous policy he has pursued in making
good Indians in that dark and bloody ground
The Apaches are getting tired Of fighting. and
in short time We may expect to hear Of them
all being driven out Of Arizona, or of their
coming in to sue for peace and settle on reser-
yations.

c;temcnt about the hack pay steal had

Meigs county. an ardent Republican
and a gentleman Of honest motives fall
though that is rather a qneer COM
pound J, pressed MORTON so hard with
interrogatories about the back pay while
he was speaking, that as soon as he was
done and could get TO a telegraph Office
conveniently, he teeqraphed to Wash
inston to have his s5 coo back pay ro-
turned to the g. S. Treasury; and his
special organ, the Indianapolis Journal,
came out on the followin4T Tuesday morn
ing, and announced that MoRroN's back
pay had been returned to the U S. Treas
urv, although it had not been returned
on the previous Saturday, as the re-
cords at Washington will prove. To
disgorge $4,000 was too much for
MoRToN, and Judge PLANTS interroga-
tories made him so mad that he swore
eff from making any more speeches in
Ohio this campaign, and left the State
with the excuse that his Athens speech
had made him HoARsE; although he
was announced to speak in some three
or four other places in the State during
