"Captain Jack and his warriors avenge
the South by murdering General Canby,
one of her greatest oppressors. * * *
Keep the ball in motion : Three cheers
for the gallant illodoes."
We oemmend the above extraet from the
Athens Georgian, (says the Inter-Ocean)
to the consideration of those whose souls
are overflowing with commiseration for
the victims of Grant's tyranny in the
South ; unhappy men who were compelled,
in pure self-defense, to murder a hundred
negroes in Louisiana, a few days since, to
demonstrate the dreadful despotism under
which they are compelled to live.
It is no answer to say that this fellow
is a coward and a fool. There are just
enough of such pusillanimous miscreants
in the South to make it and keep it a de
sert; men possessed of a high ambition to
kill unoffending negroes whom they hate,
and assassinate Northern white men whom
they fear, but who are as destitute of cour
age and honor as they are barren of decen
ey and brains. These are the sort of men
who degrade the Scud], lend an infamous
name to their communities, and inspire
massacres like that of Grant Parish. Such
people deserve to have "carpet-baggers"
among them forever, and one is tempted
to say the meaner the latter are the better.
MEETING OF THE STATE CEN
TRAL COMMITTEE.
The members of the Republican State
Central Committee met in Harrisburg, on
the Ist inst. A full attendance from the
various counties was present, and after a
short discussion the committee decided to
hold the State Convention on Wednesday,
the 13th day of August. in the city of
Harrisburg.
The following resolutions were also
unanimously adopted, viz :
Resolved, That the Republican party of
Pennsylvania have reason to be proud of
the manner in which Governor Hartranft
has discharged the duties of his office, and
the people of the Commonwealth may feel
assured that their interests will be fully
guarded during his administration.
Resolved, That the thanks of this com
mittee and of the Republican party of
Pennsylvania are hereby tendered to the
Hon. Russell Errett, chairman, General
Bingham, treasurer, and the several sec
retaries associated with them for the effi
cient and able manner in which they dis
charged their arduous duties daring the
late campaign which resulted so gloriously
in the triumph of Republican principles,
Mr. Errett thanked the committee for
the dattering notice they had taken of the
results of their labors, and hoped they
would not burden hint with a similar job.
The committee then adjourned.,
THE POSTAL CARDS,
A new era in the postal system of this I
country was inaugurated to-day, says the
Pittsburgh Evening Telegraph of the 30th
ult., in the introduction of postal cards,
which is but another form for cheap post
age. That the new feature will work ad
vantageously for the people there cannot
be a doubt, and it is believed that it will
also prove beneficial to the revenues of the
Postoffice Department. It comes into ac
tive operation with great popularity, for
the Department has already on file orders
amounting to twelve million cards, which,
by far exceeds the estimated demand. The
cards will be a great convenience to busi
ness men. and will create a revolution in
the conduct of trade by correspondence.
It will have some effect, beyond rjuestion,
on the telegraph companies, for men who
cannot find time to write, seal and post a
letter ordering consignments from near
home, and who have been using the tele
graph wires as a matter of economy. will
now use postal cards.
The only fear expressed as to the postal
card system is that it may be used by un
scrupulous and evil disposed persons to
further their animosities, or gratify their
revenge. Any one who undertakes to use
postal cards as a vehicle for his • malice,
will find it a hazardous proceeding, for the
law will punish with great severity all who
so misuse it. It is probable that postal
cards will not, to any great extent, be used
in this city for a week or ten days, as
Pittsburgh is usually among the last cities
to be served from the Postoffice Depart
ment, for the reason that the Eastern de
mand is always greater and more pressing.
THE RAILROAD QUESTION IN
THIS STATE
EDITOR
A Pittsburgh contemporary has briefly
summed up the important provisions adopt
ed by the Constitutional Convention re
stricting railroads, as follows:
A free railroad law, and the transfer of
passengers and freights from one line to
another without discrimination;
All railroad property subject to taxation
the same as that of the citizen ;
No consolidation of competing or paral
lel lines;
Railroad companies confined to the bu
siness of common carriers, and prohibited
from acquiring lands, mining or manufac
turing;
No discrimination against the people of
our own State in the carriage of freight or
passengers ;
Railroads declared public highways,
open to all citizens, and "fast freight lines,"
composed of railway officials, prohibited ;
All increase of capital stock to be under
general law ;
Railroads liable for constructive dama
ges for property not actually occupied ;
Railroads to have the right to construct
and pass cars, over each other's roads, free
from unjust discrimination.
These are the leading principles laid
down. o w he enforced by legislation. To
meet the case of any company pleading its
charter as a contract with the State. and
therefore not impairable by these regula
tions, it is provided that no railroad shall
have any beneficial legislation, under gen
eral or special laws, except on condition of
the complete acceptance of the provisions
of the article. This section met with
stronger opposition than any other from
the representatives of the great railroad
corporations in the Convention, but it was
adopted by a large majority.
Stir Gov. Hartranft approved the new
Fish Bill on the 28th of April. It is now
a law, and in the course of a few weeks at
farthest, we suppose, the Commissioners
will be appointed. This is one of the
wisest enactments that has received the
consideration of the Legislature for years.
THE MODOC WAR.
Reconnoitering Parts of Soldiers .Drawn
Into a Trap and SurroundedTerritly
Fatal Cron Fire from the Savages—
Full Details of the - Fight.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 29.—A courier
just arrived reports another terrible fight
with the Modocs, in which nineteen of our
men were killed, including Capt. Thomas,
Lieut. Howe, of the Fourth Artillery,
Lieut. Wright, of the Twelfth Infantry,
and twenty-three wounded, including
Lieut. Harris, of the Fourth Artillery,
and others who are missing.
LAVA BEDS, April 26.—A reconnois2
sauce composed of Battery K and A of the
Fourth Artillery, and Company E of the
Twelfth Infantry, left camp at 7:30 this
morning, proceeding in the direction known
to lead to the present Modoe stronghold,
Captain E. Thomas of the Fourth Artille
ry being in command. A .dozen or so
Warm Spring Indians were expected to
co-operate with Capt. Thomas' left. The
troops having formed a line of skirmishers,
advanced without molestation until they
arrived at the foot of the bluff south of the
lava beds, having in the meanwhile signal
ed the camp that no Indians could be
found. On reaching the bluff the Modem
opened a severe fire, causing the troops to
seek such shelter as they could find in the
crevices and chasms, and, as usual, the foe
were unseen. The first position became
untenable, owing to the fact that the In
diani obtained both a cross and enfilading
fire, and so exposing the position that up
to the present writing, seven o'clock, P.
at., only two of the wounded could go to
camp. Nine of the wounded, including
Lieut. Wright, of the Twelfth Infantry,
had sought safety in a crevice, which was
particularly open to the Modoc fire. Grave
doubts exist of their ultimate safety.
So soon as information was received at
headquarters relative to the peril of the
reconnoitreing troops, aid was at once
pushed forward to their rescue, four com
panies being ordered out—two of cavalry
from this camp and two from Col. Mason's.
Stretchers for conveying the wounded were
forwarded; these latter are returning just
now, without having achieved the object
for which they were intended. Poor fel
lows, a bitter cold night at least is before
them. It is barely possible, from the
character of the enemy concerned, that
some of them no longer heeded cold or
heat. Their comrades, who from some
cause are coming into camp, show plainly
by their demeanor their heartfelt sorrow.
They feel for them, but they are powerless
in the matter. The wounded, so far as
can be learned jest now, are First Ser
geant Clinton, Company E. Twelfth In
fantry; private John H. Gifford, Battery
K. Fourth. Artillery, twice; private John
Lynch, Battery K, Fourth Artillery, since
dead; private Joseph McLaughlin, Bat-
tery K, Fourth Artillery; private Wm.
McCoy. Battery K, Fourth Artillery,
twice ; private Michael Wallace, Battery
K, Fourth Artillery, since dead ; private
Joseph Broderick. Battery A, Fourth Ar
tillery ; Lieutenant Wright, Twelfth In
fantry, reported as dangerously wounded ;
Lieutenant Harris. Fourt Artillery, struck
by a spent bull, but not injured much.
April 27, 5:30 A. M.—A dispatch re
ceived from Col. Green. of the Fret Cav
alry, who went out with reinforcements
yesterday morning, shows the surprise to
have been much more complete and terri
bly fatal than was at first supposed. The
dispatch also states that Capt. Thomas and
Lieut. A. K. Howe, of the Fourth Artil
lery, are killed, Lieut. Harris, of the
Fourth Artillery, is badly, perhaps mor
tally, wounded, and Lieut. Cranston, also
of the Fourth Artillery, is missing. A
full list. of the killed and wounded cannot
now be obtained, but it is known that pri
vates Ward. of Battery K. and Parker
Collins, of Battery A, were killed; also,
private Boyle, of Company B, Twelfth In
fantry, and one other man of the same
company. It is supposed the Modoes burn
ed the bodies of the two latter.
In addition to the list given above, Ser
geant Robert S. Rermer, of Battery A.
and private John Higgins of Battery K,
Fourth Artillery, are given as badly
wounded.
April 27, 5:00 P. 3r.—From the second
dispatch sent by Colonel Green it appears
that there are now collected and awaiting
conveyance to camp sixteen men that were
killed, including Captain Thomas, Lieut.
Howe, of the Fourth Artillery, Lieutenant
Wright, of the Twelfth Infantry, and
eight wounded, including Lieut. Harris,
of the Fourth Artillery. These, added to
the number of wounded wen above cited,
show a large percentage of casualties from
the small number of men engaged—some
sixty or sixty-one.
The Modocs are armed with Spencer
carbines and breech-loading muskets. Nor
is it a single instance only where one No
doe has been known to have possession of
two or more Spencer rifles, enabling him
to keep up a rapid fire of shots from his
natural or artificial breastwork of reek sur
face. The ground in many places is torn
up by volcanic action, leaving crevices,
and these are adaptable to the purposes of
either hiding or points of defense. Several
instances of soldiers knowing nothing of
the topography have come unawares on
such fissures, therefore they could not es
cape. Their positions were confronted
with a wily Indian, rifle leveled, finger on
the trigger, and death, or at least a clan
gerous wound, was the result. Too often
the cowardly redskin escapes by so many
paths known only to themselves.
As a sample of their treachery and cun
ning it may not be amiss to state that a
portion of Batteries A and K, Fourth Ar
tillery, and Company E, Twelfth Infantry,
finding themselves in danger and outflank
ed, took shelter in a hollow spot, affording
a partial cover for some twenty. No sooner
had they done so than the Indians who
knew and commanded every egress from
the cavity at that point, numbered twenty
one warriors, detached seven of their num
bers on one side, fourteen remaining on
the other, opened a cross fire on the poor
fellows, who could not show head or hand
without certainly being struck. Very few
escaped injury; the rest were either killed
or wounded. It is next to impossible to
ascertain the numbers killed and wounded.
Yesterday Captain McKay reported that
his Warm Springs had taken four scalps.
This may be the whole or only a portion
of the killed, the Modem; being very care
ful to destroy, as far as possible, all traces
of their casualties, buryinc , their dead in
the caves. Their wounded are supposed
to be hidden in the caves also, as but few
of them have been seen so far. _
Justice to the memory of the gallant
dead compels us to record the following
well authenticated facts : When Captain
Thomas found himself and his men sur
rounded by the vindictive foe, true to his
nature as a soldier, he sought to cheer his
soldiers on to the bitter end, and obtain it
possible, life for life or sell their lives
dearly, saying, "Men, we are surrounded;
we must fight and die like men and sol
diers." In his noble efforts to sustain the
courage of his small command he was ably
seconded by Lieutenat Howe and Lieut.
Wright. After receiving his mortal wound
he buried his gold watch and chain among
the rocks, and emptied his revolver among
the enemy before dying.
If living he would also write in terms of
well-deserved praise of Lieut. Harris, who,
similarly situated as Capt. Thomas. with a
portion of his battery K, 4th Artillery, he
set an example of bravery and determina
tion to his men by uttering some such sen
timents as those already quoted—nut that
it required such expressions to stimulate
the men to deeds of bravery, when every
man would willingly have fbllowed either
officer wherever he chose to lead; yet they
show the mutual confidence existing be
tween them. Since they were to fall, it is
a pity they had not been opposed by a
worthier foe. Yet it is a mournful conso
lation that each. Capt. Thomas Lieuts.
Howe and Wright, with their soldiers, met
a soldier's death in defense of the govern
ment and laws of the country. Of the
men killed or wounded it is perhaps suffi
cient to say they showed their bravery
with their blood, the former with their
lives, the latter in total or partial disability.
6:30 r. m—The reinforcements sent out
under Col. Green, together with the killed
and wounded, are expected momentarily.
A' heavy rain is now falling, which may be
beneficial to the poor wounded men, alle
viating their suffering. Their arrival is
anxiously looked for by their more fortu
nate comrades. In camp every preparation
is made for their proper reception. When
the news of the massacre reached the camr,
soldiers who bad grown old and grey in
the service wept like babies owes the fate
of their officers and comrades.
April 28, 6 A. m.—Troops with the
killed and wounded are returning. In ad
dition . to the death list given add First
Sergeant Robert S. Romer, Battery A,
and private James Rose, Battery K. 4th
Artillery, died yesterday. Sergeant Buck,
Battery A, came in wounded, nut previ
ously mentioned. In many instances it
would be difficult to recognize the dead
but for some article of dress known to have
belonged to them, to such an extent has
Indian barbarity defaced the linaments of
those killed.

LAVA BEDS, April 30.
'Major General Schofield, .San Fran
deco :—On the 26th inst., Major Greene,
commanding the camps on the west side of
the Lava Beds, ordered Captain Thomas,
of the Foui-th Artillery, with batteries A
and K, of the Fourth Artillery, company
E of the Twelfth Infantry, and a party of
Warm Spring Indians—about 70 soldiers
and 14 Indians—to make a reconnoisa.nce
in the southeasterly direction to a point
about four miles from camp. The party
left camp at 7 A. at., and at 12 as. the par
ty reached the designated point, and were
resting. No Indians had been seen. Sud
denly the party was fired on by the-Indi
ans, when a portion of the command seem
to have become panic-stricken, and the or
ganization seemed in a great measure to
have broken. The stragglers arrived in
camp at about half-past one P. as., Major
Greene at once went to the assistance of
Capt. Thomas. Arriving at the scene, he
found Thomas' command entirely disorgan
ized and scattered
'Upon searching in the lava chasms,
the bodies of Captain Thomas and Lieu
tenant Howe, of the Fourth Artillery,
and Lieutenant Wright, of the Twelfth In
fantry, were found. First Lieutenant
Arthur Cranston, of the Fourth Artillery,
has not been found. He is undoubtedly
killed. Lieutenant George Harris and Ac
ting Assistant Surgeon Semig are serious
ly, though I hope not dangerously, wound
ed. Thirteen enlisted men were killed
and sixteen wounded. All the officers and
part of the men remained together and
fought like heroes. but the Indians had
secured the advantage of the position be

officersgo
to Yreka to-morrow. The bo
dies of four warriors have been found at
or near the scene of the battle. Captain
Mendenhall reports from Burkettsville, and
is expected to join on the 30th. The In
diens occupy a position on the rocks about
four miles from their nld caves. It will be
impossible to surround them with a force
at or on the way to this place. The cir
cumference of the lava beds is about thirty
miles. All of it is very much of the same
character. General Davis is expeeted to
morrow.

WASHINGTON, April 30.
Official dispatches received at . the War
Department to-day give full confirmation
of the press reports regarding the latest
and most terrible features of the campaign
against the Modoca. As soon as they
were received, Secretary Robeson called
upon General Sherman. when a prolonged
consultation ensued.
General Sherman hud previously ex
pressed the hope that the press reports
were exaggerated. He did not believe
that our forces had been suprised, and was
inclined to denounce the story as told in
the morning papers as sensational and on- !
true. The result of the consultation was a
decision to concetrate all the available tbr
ees on the Pacifi slope for the support of i
General Jeff. C. Davis, who has assumed
command. This decision, however, is vir
tually a repetition of the results of previ- ;
ous consultations.
Referring to the possibility of effectual
ly surrounding theModocs, General Sher
man remarked : "There are not troops
enough under arms on the continent to ac
complish such a purpose. The lava beds
are thirty miles in circumference. Atlan
ta was only five miles, and it was found
impossible to surround it with one hund
red and fifty thousand men. It is proba
ble that our effective force operating against
Captain Jack now numbers about one
thousand, including cavalry and artillery,
the usefulness of which is greatly impaired
by the epizooty now prevailing in the
camp.-
Letter from India ,
CAMP PAUARJAU, NEAR,
SRAHJEHAUPORE, INDIA. C
February 19, 1873.
DEAR JOURNAL :—While your readers
are making snow-balls, or gathering around
red-hot stoves in order to keep warm, your
occasional correspondent is sitting under
the shade of a large mango tree just out
side of his canvass tent, thinking about
the dear friends far away in his native
laud.
But I imagine some one inquiring, I
"what are you doing out in camp in mid
winter ?" Why, dear reader, our midwin
ter here is very much like your midsum
mer in America. Peach trees are in full
bleom wheat is out in head, tomatoes are
ripe, and green peas are abundant. So
you see we have a rather pleasant winter
in India. I cannot say so much of our
summers. Our mission work is of such a
nature as to make it necessary for me to
spend part of each cold season in the coun
try, visiting towns and villages.
Pauarjau, where we are now encamped,
is a native town of considerable size, about
eighteen miles from our home, in Shah
jehaupore. We have here a Boys' School
in which about fifty boys are receiving in
struction in English and Hindostanee, and
in Scripture truth. We came here in
part to examine the school. While lam
doing this from day to day Mrs. B. is
looking after a small Girls' School which
was commenced here last year. These I
being looked after in the forenoon we have
the afternoon for preaching to the poor
heathen who gather around us in the
streets of the town and adjacent villages.
While I am talking to the men and boys'
Mrs. B. gathers a crowd of half-naked
women and children in some mud hut, or
often in a mud-walled yard, sings to them
of Jesus, and then taking her Hindostanee
testament reads to them the touching story
of Bethlehem's babe, or of the miracle at
Bethany; then talks to these long neg
lected women about Him who came to save
us all. She says, "I have seen tears trick
ling down the dirty cheeks of these poor
women while I was singing for them. I
generally preach twice a day all through
the week, and do not get "preacher's sore
throat" very often either. The trouble
with many of our preachers at home is
they do not preach often enough to keep
their throats in preaching order; and
others cramp their throats by bending,
down over a pulpit to read manuscript es
says, which they call "sermons." and
which their patient, or otherwise, hearers
would be glad to see anywhere but in the
pulpit.
To-morrow we leave for another large
town, nearly thirty miles away, in which
we have two schools similar to the ones
here, one for boys and another for girls.
Do you want to knew how we will make
the journey ? You shall be gratified.—
Early in the morning we will have a cup
of tea and a slice of toast. Then our affairs
being speedily packed will be put, with
the tent, on a couple of two-wheeled carts,
such as the Patriarchs used. These will
be drawn by bullocks, at the rate of two
miles an hour. We will leave the carts
in care of a native servant, and we, i. e.
the Parson, or Padri, as I am called here,
his wife and little girl, will get into our
buggy, which was made in Carlisle, Pa..
and drive to Shahjehanpore in time for
late breakfast; stop with another mission
ary a day, and then drive on to Tilhen,
where we will find our tent pitched ready
for us.
