Stafford passed throag? sts city yesterday afternoon on bis way tothe national capizal, Prior to bis departure ne favored one of the HERALD representatives with a lengthened visit, and in the course of an interesting conversation some very important fects were elicited, to which theattention of the public may well be astracted, Governor Stafford 1s a genial gentleman, and, though evidencing the first principles of a true American, could scarcely conceal bis feelings regarding the action of the Uniced states goverament towards the vast and fruitful Territory of Arizona, He appeared to regret exceedingly the callousness of the authori- ties to the wanton and terrible outrages daily per- petrated by the Indians throughout the wide domain, The sad want of a sufficient military force to repress the frequent crimes of the Apaches, committed with abold and fiendish defiance, was a subject upom which he dwelt with some earnestness, Alter adverting at some lengta to che warfare at present existing between the iniabitants of Arizona and the Apaches, who, he said, lived entirely br piliage and plunder, Governor Stafford went on ty state that hitherto the most determined resistance: had failed to counteract the terrible destructio they were datly spreading. ‘The Apaches,” he said “are of a brownish hue, small in stature, cunning treacherous, very fleet and generally travel in oanGe of twenty-five aud thirty. ‘They Oght mostly in awoush, their action ts iustantancous and their pur: pose deadly. ‘They have enuroiy exterminated ¢ people who lived here tong since, a peovle (nat ence largely populated tue territory, built towar and cultivac:d fleids, Nouns 18 Dow know of that people, except some broken rains, whicr point woefully to the destruction; whiie the tins they existed can onty be estimated by the soil thy bas uccamulated over thom. ‘Tue Apaches are, t, deed, er in the extreme. gereraily disposing © their victims by slow and dreadiul tortures.
