AN ADVERTISEMENT FOR VOTES.
Under construction of the law made some
time ago by Secretary Folger, leave OF alb
sence to employees of the treasury department
is limited to thirty days in each calendar year
with pay, except in case of sickness. 1t had
heretofore been the custom to allow employees
might go home to vote. Now absence from
duty on that account Will be deducted from the
thirty days leave allowed by law. In case an
employee has taken his full leave before the
time of voting has arrived he can only go
home to vote by losing his pay for the time he

it is thought they will concur in the oOnStruc-

Gen. Crooks report of his campaign against |
the Apaches in Mexico has been received at
the war department. After reciting the facts
support so willingly offered by the Mexican
officials, he says: We moved southeast down
for three days we did not see human being.
The whole country had been laid waste

scouts incautiously fired upon a buck and
squaw. The surprise was complete and in the
subsequent fight, which lasted several hours,
the Indians were thoroughly beaten, the camps
and their contents captured and five half grown
girls and young boys taken prisoners.
Nine dead Indians were found after
fight. The extreme rugged nature of the
country, the camp being situated half way
up precipitous mountains, gashed with ravines
and arroyas, prevented any exact count being
made without extreme danger from Indians
who might be wounded or hidden in the rocks,
and who could have killed at their will, with
able property stolen from the Americans and
Mexicans, found in camp; also about forty
horses and mules. Early on the 18th. Chiri-

one of the most prominent men i'll his tribe,
noted for intelligence and bravery.
He said the country which we had pene

getting into it, but had always been met and
driven back with rocks as well as bullets as
soon as they had passed the foot OF the hills.
He explained by saying that since the security
was so great that no men were absent Oh

was small white boy captured in New Mexico
who cOrresponded so closely in description
with Charles McCOmaS that he had no doubts
but 1t was him. He said, in consequence of
the attack, that the ChereahuX had
scattered to the mountains like so many
quail, and that he would go back and gather
them together and return, but, said he, You
have Apache soldiers with you and my people

went on to say that the captive boy was alive
and in good spirits but had gone off with
sGuaws who had broken away from camp upon
that our scouts were closing in |
upon them.
From that on ChireahuX came in rapidly
from all points of the cOmpass-men, women
and children. All the chieftains surrendered
and gave themselves up. All the chiefs at last
fairly begged to be taken back to san Car'Os

said: "We give ourselves up; do
with us as you please" They begged
me to remain where L was before for
a few. days. longer, and explained, what
was so fearfully rough they could not gather
up all their people at once as they were so
much scattered. To this, if you don't assent,

delay impossible. We had by this time 3s9
