Colonel Hatch, commanding the district
of New Mexico. Informs me that large bod
les of well armed Apaches are going South
toward Texas. They are probably renegades
from the Indian Territory and Mexico.
Have arranged to intercept them and REIN
force and concentrate forces when necessary.

SPARTA. Ga, Oct 1S.-Accounts of out
laws in the eastern portion of Baldwin
county are generally exaggerated. The
trouble is political. Outlaws burned the gin
and cotton houses and fodder stacks OF Mr..
Robson for the purpose of drawing him out
OF his house to shoot him, killed negro
man for reporting them to the grand jury,
burned the tannery and barns of Lake Rob
inson, and whipped colored woman and
her daughter in Hancock comfy. The gang
have taken refuge in the swamps of Oconee
and Ogechee The people OF Hancock
county are indignant at the outrages and de-

CHEYENNE, Oct. 20.-Oamp on White
river, three miles north of the agency,
Colorado, Oct. l2th, via Rawlins, Wyoming
This afternoon Gen Merritt and command
returned to this point, orders from Washing |
ton being to suspend operations against the
Utes and await orders either at White or
Beaver river, as negotiations fer peace are in
progress, il being understood that the hos
tiles have, agreed to surrender the warriors
engaged in the late depredations. 1t is
probable that the combined commands of
Merritt and Gilbert will remain fer the
present at this point, although nothing
definite is known as to future movements.
In the event Of peace being established, it is
altogether probable that permanent mill
tary post will be constructed either at Bear
river or the agency.

18th was sent HIM with orders to obey .he
directions therein given, and presume this
will stop him. Your dispatch should have
reached him on the 18th. Gen. Merritt and
Gen. Crook, the department commander, are
at loss to know what to do and 80 am l.
