ABOUT COMPLIMENTS.
Compliments are so cheap that all
may bestow them and all may re
ceive as many and as highly exag
gerated ones as they care for. Tho
good and bad, worthy and unworthy,
often get equally high compliments
from tho same source, which leads
many sensible and observing people
to pay little regard to praise of men
and things ; and still we are not pre
pared to affirm that compliments are
always worthless in a practical sense,
because there is so much of pride, of
vanity, and of ambition centered in
tho human breast, that may be flat
tered until the possessors will make
extra and useful exertions to win
more if not to deserve that already
received. A man dies who during
life was constantly misunderstood or
wantonly abused, and the same tra
ducers of him will meet and pass res
olutions setting forth his generous,
patriotic and even heroic qualities.
Some man or woman does an act of
very common occurrence, attended
with little or no difficulty, and it is
pronounced by a wise people and dis
criminating press as an unparalleled
feat of moral or physical bravery
perhaps both; whereas hundreds of
acts more worthy of commendation
are being constantly done and are re
warded with silence.
These remarks are suggested by a
perusal of the complimentary orders
published by the "War Department
and the General of the Army to Gen.
Jeff. C. Davis and the troops engaged
with him in the Modoc campaign,
and their total silence on the infinitely
greater and harder work and victo
ries accomplished by the troops in
Arizona within the past ten months.
Gen. Davis did well with the Modocs
after taking command, but all in all,
there is not in the military annals of
America, a more trifling series of en
gagements, such as every true friend
of tho TJ. S. Army could but wish
blotted from our history and the
memory of all living men, than those
comprising the so-called Modoc War ;
whereas the work done by the troops
in Arizona during about the same pe
riod, was marked by deeds of great
skill, true bravery, and remarkable
endurance. There are no ten mile3
square operated on in Arizona by the
troops after tho Apaches, but what
presents as formidable obstacles to
military success as the worst of the
lava beds of Modoc fame. The coun
try scoured by the Arizona troops for
Apaches, is hundreds of miles in ex
tent ; that of the Modoc lava beds but
of comparatively few miles. "When
the troops here began to fight the
Apaches, the latter were at least
twenty-times as numerous and equally
as well armed as the Modocs ; and
had our troops been directed as were
those against the Modocs, our loss
would have not only been much
greater than that of the Modoc army,
but the subjugation of the Apaches a
total failure. The countrv w:
hardly ever know the hardships, dim
gers and labors the troops of Arizoba
underwent in the last Winter's ca
paign. tor miles and miles th
were compelled to march on Mot,
carry their rations and equipage,
exposed to storms and often sub
jected to that excruciating purXsh-
ment wmcn a want oi water ata
can inflict : going into Indian stron
holds under cover of night, where by
daylight ten Indians could have held
the place against thousands of troops,
and really gaining many victories by
extraordinary surprises before tho
fighting commenced.
All this required the highest order
of courage and daring, and still it
brought out no complimentary orders
from "Washington as did the compar
atively insignificant and blundering
operations against the Modocs, thus
confirming our remarks as to the un
worthy bestowal, and we might add
withholding, of compliments. Possi
bly it was thought the Arizona troops
did not need compliments to insure a
complete performance of their duty
hereafter ; and as half a dozen or a
score of Indians may again take to
the lava beds and make Avar upon the
United States, it were deemed a plac
ing of compliments where they might
do most good, to bestow them as
pointed out above.
THE WHEELEll' EXPEDITION.
Some of the Country Examined in
Arizona and by WliomI,ieutenaut
Wheeler Gone to Washington
Indians all Q,uiet, Except Some
Family Killings.
Coip Apache, Akizona, Sept. 2.
1S73. I have been with Lieutenant
Wheeler's expedition for near one
month and a half, with party No. 2
under command of Lieut. A. H. Bus
sell, K Company, 3d Cavalry, who
was also astronomical observer ; Mr.
Summers, topograher; and Professor
Lyon, geologist, botanist, mineralo
gist and naturalist. "We started from
Fort Wingate July lb, tor (Janip De
fiance Navajo Agency; thence to
Pueblos of the Moquis ; thence south
to the Eio Colorado Chiquito ; cross
ing it above the first cascades ; thence
continued south seventeen miles to
the Cosuino's caves near the San
Francisco mountains ; thence south
east to Eancheria Spring on tho
Camp Verde road. Irom this place,
Mr. Summers was sent down the
Cafion Diablo to its junction with the
Colorado Chiquito ; thence up to Sun
set Crossing. From here the supply
wagon was sent to Supplv Camp
thirty miles above, and the exploring
party started up the Big Dry Fork
following it to the edge of Tonto Ba
sin ; thence around the head of the
Little Dry Fork and down the west
ern bank of Chevalen's Fork to old
Supply Camp. From this place the
party passed up on the east side of
Ohevalin s b ork to where the Uamp
Verde and Fort "Wingate roads join.
From hero, Lieut. Eussoll took the
supply wagon and pack-train to Camp
Apache where he expected to meet
Lieut. Wheeler. Mr. Summers and
a small party were ordered to proceed
west from the junction of the roads to
the head of Chevalen's Fork and that
of Cedar Creek; also to go far
enough up the Eio Cariza to connect
with the survey made on the head
waters of tho Eio Carizo ; thence
down to Camp Apache, where we ar
rived August 31.
Lieut. Wheeler started from here
this morning for Washington and
Lieut. Tillman will take command of
the expedition.
The Indians are all quiet at pres
ent. August 31, they had a bit of a
row amone: themselves, and four
more were made good forever. Yes
terday an Indian named Diablo killed
another the one who shot a soldier
sometime ago when escorting Mr.
Appel's train and also shot Edward
Eenner, a herder. Thus the number
of bad Indians is gradually diminish
ing and the " good ones on the in
crease. Lieut. W. C. Manning starts east
to-morrow on recruiting service.
C. A. F.
California held a general elec
tion on the 3d instant. Party lines
were but little adhered to, and men
of all shades of partisanship have
been successful as well as defeated
in most of the counties. Complete
returns are not reported. The San
Diego Union of the 7th, gives exten
sive State reports and then recapitu
lates thus :
The Republicans can now count twenty-
two Senators, against eleven Democrats
and five Independents, with the two in
San Francisco and two in the State still in
doubt.
In the lower House the Republicans
count twenty-6ix members, with the re
sult as to " twenty-nine (including the
twelve irom San i rauciscoj yet to be de-
About the last night of August,
the Apaches stole a few horses from
the Pueblo Yiejo settlement. At the
time, it was not known to what band
the thieves belonged, but the troops
have probably made the discovery ere
this.
Major W. H. Brown, command
ing Camp Grant, expected to start
out on a thorough Indian scout on the
10th instant, and we think he'll do
good execution. Should he fail, it
will not be for want of well-directed
and hard work.
The San Diego Union says that
twelve miles of the military telegraph
was completed September 3, and that
on and after last Monday, the instru
ments would be in order and news
daily sent to San Diego from the ad
vance. .

Nothing finer has yet been produced in
this country in tho form of a magazine
than tho September Aldine. Europe and
America have been laid under contribution
to furnish tho most marvelously beautiful
pictures which the best artists can produce.
Mr. A. F. Bunner has a series of three
magnificent views in tho Rocky Mountains,
made expressly for The Aldine. In these
days of Yellowstono expeditions and ex
cursions to this famous region, these pic
tures possess unusual interest. A full-page
view of Clear Creek Cafion, R eky Moun
tains, opens up the wonderful grandeur of
thoso hidden solitudes in a way to make
them seem real; a large picture of the
tho Snowy Range of tho Sierra Madro is
wild, gloomy, and grand, while a sketch
ot tho interior of The Rocky Mountains,
gives one the impression that all tho world
is made of mountains.
Tho department of music, art, and litera
ture, are each well filled with good solid
reading matter, fully maintaining the high
reputation Tho Aldmo has long sinco
earned. Subscription price $5, including
chromos "Village Belle " and " Crossing
