HISTORY OF Gen. Eugene A. Carr, the gallant com- mauder who fell at the head of his troops, was one of the most distinguished officers in the anny. He was aman of distinguished appearance, and was respected and loved by all his subordinates. Officers who knew him well say that his reputation is’ unex- celled. He had a thorongh experience as an Indian fighter, and tney are loath to believe that he could have met his death had he not been completely overpowered or be- trayed by the treachery of the Indian scouts. All of the officers at the headquarters mourn his loss as that of a dearly beloyed brother. Tle was ONE OF TNE MOST RELIABLE OFFICERS serving under Maj.Gen.

THE FORT NOW FALLEN OR IN DANGER. Canp Apache isan old post situated at the base of a huge mountain- eastern border of Arizona, in latitude 33.8 degrees north and longitude 109.9 degrees west of Washington. To the northeast are the White Mountains, whence this particu- Jar band of ches take their name. ‘The post is not fortified, and consists, simply of acollection' of log-cabins for the atconimo- dation of ‘the troops located there. To the west of the post is a deep caiion about sixty feet to the bed of & .mountain ‘strewn. In a line along this, and with — their rear doors opening on it, are the officers irters, which consist simply of a line of rude log huts, Before them are the four lines of log huts comprising the quarters of the common sold At the north are long: lug houses for the Quartermaster and Com- inissary. "At the south are similar buildings used for the. hospital and for the storage of the sutler’s goods. Along the east line of the camp area row of heavy huts used as the iness-houses of the companies, with further additions in the way of stables and out- houses. ‘The post, as already stated, is and the main reliance in ease of an attack consists in this cordon: of heavy buildings pierced with loopholes, the camp bemg pro- tected on the east by the deep ravine. Ina case like the present, where ‘an overpower- ing force of hostile devils was present ready to slip in between the gaps of the buildings, while half of the garrison was lying dead uiles away, it would be natural to suppose that the post would be surrendered and its unfortunate defenders massazred. ‘The post was gartisoned by Companies E Adjutant-General in- the absence of Gen.

Our Western President's New England deriva- ton bas been one of the ties which. ualted him tne closer to our people, who bad aireaay tearaed to esteem the virtues of the man before know= ing aught of the merits of his ancestry.. But the name of Garfield was associated with New En- in leave? Ga and D of the Sixth Cavalry, and Companies Dand E of the Twelfth Infantry, all under command of Gen, Carr. ‘The regimental headquarters of the Sixth Cavalry, Gen. Carr's regiment, were at Fort Lowell, and the Geénerni had -been transferred to Fort Apache. only a few months ago, when | troubles with the hostiles seemed imminent. Letters received from him at Fort Apache state that his wife and son were with him at the post, and if the-fort was captured, as re- ported, itis almost “certain that they were butchered, cinicu cr where the massacre of the cavalry occurred, dows into Sait, River ata point about forty miles west of Fort Apache. It is in the mid- dle of narrow defiles, lofty mountains, ana bottomless precipices. The trail is narrow and tortuous, and the place is admirably. adapted fora fight after the Indian fashion where the troops are placed at a great dis- advantage. From the reports which came in by the couriers, and from the fact that the first re- ports mention the names of no officers of in- fantry, itis believed that Gen. Carr started gland lite by the great New England romancer, Hawthorne, that Yankee necromancer, whose most cthereal imaginings were always embodiea in the material obtained by the careful and con- ecientious utservation with which he supplanted the iasicht of geaius. The names of his char- aeters, fearlesly taken from history or’ gene 2 applied as he saw fit, and his readers ‘umily names converted to the uses of honor or disbonor, aucording to the nurrator's rbudamanthine judgment. it might, there- fore, be a mutter of congratulation to any bearer of the now illustrious name of Garfield that’ Hawthorne, in his choice of it for the heroine of his Inst romance,- *Septi- mus Felton,” associated it with all those simple virtues and genuine graces which belong to New England character at 1t3 best. Ruse Gar- field is a tlower of Puritan maidenhood. the vil- Jace school-mistress, and the mistress of a home which she consents to share with Hobert Hag- burn, a yeoman-soldier of the Revolution. These young people grew up in Concord, and. were among “the children’s children’s children of persons of respectability, who bad dwelt there. Rose Garficid lived in a small house, the site of which is still indicated by the cavity of a cellar, in which I this very past summer piunted some suntlowers to thrust their great disks out from tho hollow and ullure the bee and hum- mingbird.” After this manner the great story teller dwelt upon tne name as fitly chosen by him to stand for the noble qualities represented by his New England girl, who 1s as brave ag she iS gentle, as strong in faith and heroism as she is simple in sweetness aud womauls ministra- tions. She isan ideal that associntes .with the out with the two companies of cavalry, nunbering about 100 men, leaving the in- fantry to guard the post. .If the band of White Mountain Apaches whom he met were at their best they could easily muster 500 warriors, and after overpowering the cavalry it would have been an easy matter to eapt- ure the post. These White Mountain Apaches, belong to the same breed of hostiles as those under Victorio and Nana, who have been committing outrages in New Mexico for years. They haye of late kept rather quiet, bit the outbreak was anticipated, to some ex- tent atleast. They have never been thor- oughly whipped, and never will be good In- dians until they are all killed. POSSIBILITIES, AT THE Fort. ‘The dispatches relative to the reported sit- tack on the fortand the massacre of all there are so meagre that it is not known positively how many or what oflicers were killed.
