The Last of the ReneGndes.
Tucson, Dec. 2S.--A special from
Camp Rucker states that Geronomo
and Apache chief, with SO of his
,and of Indians has just surrendered
the military authorities at Camp
fucker, and will be sent to San Car
nos Indian Reservation ut once.
This is the band which has been
depredating for some months past
along the border, and did much OF
the work credited to Victoria band.
This virtually wipes out all rene
gade Indians in Arizona and on the
border. O. t.S ,...

celon went to Belfast to-day TO at
tend meeting called to sustain the
course of the Governor and Council.

ming in Rockland.
VIII Preserve Order.
The Governor sent for the Mayor
this afternoon to consult in regard to
the prope, police force for preserv.
ing order ON the reassembling of the
Legislature. The Mayor had just
finished writing q communication to
his Excellency on the subject and
conveyed it in person, and assured
the Governor that all the needed
preparations have been made for
keeping the peace. Two hundred
extra policemen have been already
appointed, and this number will be
increased it the exigences of the
case require. He said he was able
to keep order, and advised the Gov
ernor not to bring troops to the Cap
itol or make any preparation for
arming Item. He thought the citi-
zens OF Augusta would bear him out
in his assurances. The Governor
talked quite freely, aud informed the
Mayor he had great dislike of
bringing troops here, and should not
do it if peace could be maintained in
any other way. 1t would be his duty
to preserve order and prevent inter
ference with the members OF the
Legislature.
