Schofleld, dated Sao Francisco, June 20: - Gea. Crook telegraphs' as follows: I sea by the papers that Secretary Teller declines to receive on' the 8an Carlos reservation aay of theChiricohua Apaches' exoept women -aad children. If these Indians are not fed. they most either starve or go back to the war path. They are now as thoroughly subjugated as it is possible for them to be. By na ture they-are so suspicious aad vigilant that at no time will they camp la ooe body, but occupy different elevated points, making a sut prise and deetruc' tlon of the entire band an impossibility. In like manner in surrendering they would not thrust themselves in our hands at once, but come dropping in from all aides in small fragments. They would say, We give ourselves up: do with us ss you please. Had I seized upon the first who cams in no -others would have followed. Twenty warriors would have been aa bad aa the whole number. Cbltto, In his raid through Arizona and New Mexico, had but twenty-six men, and Htronimo, in his reoent depredations la Chihuahua, had leas than forty. Whea the Chirlcahuas reach the reservation they-will be fully as . nervous aad distrustful. Any at tempt to hold them responsible for their acts before their, surrender, will drive them back to the cliffs aad gorges of l the mountains, and we shall then have to fight them until the last one dies. Ia their code all depredations committed upon ourselves and the Mex icans whileat war ars legitimate. While It is repellent to my feelings to put these red-handed murderers - on the reservation, I reflect that they are no worse thsn were the six thousand Apaches I put on a reservation ten years ago. Then 1 had nothing but sol diers and scouts who bad subjugated them to organize aad discipline soo,but In discipline and control this handful of Chericahuas. wo would have not only soldiers and scouts, but the valuable assistance of all other Indians who would watch with Jealousy thealightest movement the Chericahuas might make. 1 ! am satisfied that the Chericahuas would not have surrendered to the Mexicans under aay circumstances, and if I am not sustained now will not sur render to us again. Their natural dis trust and suspicion have been increased ten-fold by an act of treachery which tbey allege the Mexicans committed some months s$o. The Chericahuas were Invited in to make peace, filled up with liquor and then attacked, many being killed and wounded aad others being carried off as prisoners. To this Gen. Schofleld sdds: "Ire commend for the present at least that the management of the surrendered Chericahuas be left entirely in the hands of Gen. Crook, and that both the War and the Interior Departments give him full authority and means to carry out this policy. This seems to be the only possible way to a successful issue. Evidently the Chericahuas can't be treated arbitrarily as "prisoners of wsr, and Gen. Crook alone has the power to control them. Please inform me by telegraph before I proceed further, whether or not It la the intention of the Interior Department to take charge of these Indians. I shall be only too glad V get rid of the bard work and respon sibility their management will entail. A copy of the telegram waa to-day sent to the Secretary of the Interior by Sec retary Lincoln with the request that he indicate his pleasure touching the dis position of these Indians.

"I get 1,000 a jear." said one of them to a correspondent. i am on the New York: table. It is my business, with three other clerks, to make up all the mails that leave the postoffice for any point in New York State. There are 3,200 postoifices in the States, and every little while the num ber is increased; not one letter in ten mentions the county in the superscrip tion. It is a part of my business to know as well as 1 know my alphabet in what county , every one of these 3,200 postoffices is located. . That isnt alL I nave to know which one of many mall routes each letter goes oat on, when each mail closes, and many other de tails. A single, mistake sends a letter off in the wrong mail bag, and perhaps delays its . delivery forty-eight hours. Four times in five when this happens complaint is made, and the mistake is traced right to the clerk who made it, and than he catches it. Twice a year we are examined to v ascertaini our knowledge and expertness in bur duties. It is bard work to memorize the loca tion of all the poatofliosBvand bard work to keep the knowledge fresh in mind ready for instant use. At home I have a set of pigeon holes, one for each coun ty in the State. 1 also have BfiOO cards, one for each postoffice in tha State. Formerly, every night I went home, I used to distribute all these cards into their proper .boxes. Now I indulge in this amusement every day, for two or three weeks before each examination. At the postoffice we have no regular hours of service. I go to work aio p. m. and keep at it until, the mail on my table . is disposed of. Sometimes I'm delated two boars beyond the usual time of quitting. "The postal service is a dog's life for the clerks. It's poor pay. long, hard hours, piles of red tape, and no nope of promotion." "Why don't you get out of it, then T "I can't. I'm in the rot and I ean't get out. I've been in the service twenty years now, and 1 don't, suppose I could earn one square meal a day outside the pusinesa x ve given my me to. American Mosses. Lafaretu (Ind.) Ho Journal. The American people are becoming more cosmopolitan in their habits daily. In no part of the world do so many families live in hotels as In this coon try. Private home life is sacrificed for show and notoriety. To- .be seen and talked about has taken precedence of the sanctity of home, pleasure, and work. Siace the civil war, shoddy, show and splendor with all the attendant dis play, has caused even our best society to be venal, hollow and shamelessly indecent. The art of money getting is fast demoralizing all ranks of society, and it it is not how it Is gotten alone, but tha fact is it must be gotten to keep up with the spirit of the times, which has caused so many otherwise worthy men to sacrifice all positions of trust and honor to the Moloch of ambi tion demanding wealth, position, and notoriety. i - ' 'The conditions of home life are changing rapidly; Instead of the love of home being inculcated in the rising generation of children, tbey are left to care of strangers, while the father is struggling with ambitions perhaps be yond his reach. And tha mother en grossed with her ambition to be recog nized in society, not for her social or moral attributes, but as a leader -of fashion. Money is squandered to ap pear to people (who care nothing for you) different from what you know you are. Home duties are neglected for show. Children grow np without prop er principles being instilled in them. JSveryone is in a grand race and scram ble for Wealth, and for what purpose? Only to gratify the insensate passion for position and display. : Thus the coming generation will come to the surface, making home des olate for the want of a proper apprecia tion of the real value of living. Ah 1 the old way ia the bestline upon une and precept upon precept; these princi ples will make better men and a more glorious nation, whereas tha present course will eventually destroy all the better qualities of the manand plange the country into chaos and confusion.

The Governor's Baaslea. ; ' BslsJahHemsjMlObJsrrsr. v .-,.- ; . ? The work of excavating for tha foun dations, &c, of the Governor's mansion began yesterday. The building stands on Blount street, near the spot where stands the old "Lovejoy" academy which has been for half a century or more a landmark in the city. Around the old school old associations cluster thick, for people of all ages have studied lessons and been well "birched there in days past or present. Sut the old and incon venient building, by no means suitable for a school house, gives . way to the march of improvement and the new mansion will adorn the grove of oaks, which, too, are passing away, and most soon be replaced by other trees." i - It may not be amiss to give a sort of a description of the mansion. ; It will be of brick, faced with brown sandstone of fine color and texture, from; Anson county. It will have a basement, two fall stories and an attlo story. "The roof is of slate- The building is in modern style and is spacious and com fortable as to - Interior arrangement, both of rooms and hallways. It is not, we are informed, expected or desired to be completed in time for occupancy by the present Governor., but every effort will be made to have it ready to turn over to the next incumbent of the ex ecutive chair.
