From that supposition the etory grew to the tale as we published it, as a clipped piece from a daily paper. They hare had quite a time in New Yoik to determine whether George Francis Train is sane oi ineane. There are numerous stumbling blocks in the way, such as the past declarations that Galileo, Socrates, Bacon, and Newton, who were all decided and emphatic in their own opinions and theories, which were iu direct opposition to those held and practiced by society generally, were insane. These great men of bygone days were only in advance of their day and generation. Train does not rank with the men named, but his friends as sert that be is persecuted for opinion's eake as they were There are long despatches from the Modoc country published in the daily papers, and when read one has about as definite an idea of the whereabouts of the Indians and the real progress of the fight, as when the first line of the de spatch was read. The troops attacked the Indians in the Lava beds on the 15th just. The first demonstration was made by shelling the position supposed to be occupied by the Modocs. The infantry were operated cautiously and in trne In dian style, advancing from rock to rock. A number of Indians are reported killed. The troops scalp the Indians. This, it is believed, is done more to work upon the superstition of the savage than as an act of revenge, for the Indian believes that if be loses his scalp he will be shut out from heaven. Three soldiers have been killed and ten wounded. The Indians are still in the Lava beds. . . J.

A terrible riot took place at Cvlfax, in Grant Parish', Louisiana, on Sunday, the 13th. , The troubles of the Kellogg and McEnrymen bred this Modocisk butch' ery. Captain Jack and his crew of un civilized Indiana are dreadful creatures but what of the butchers of human kind in Louisiana, who have been reart amidst the surroundings of civilization Our heart sickens at the barbarrity ol onrown race. We publish largely of the despatches of this fiendish butch ery. New Orleans, April 15 The steam boat Southwestern, which arrived about twenty minutes past two o'clock to day brings stirring and important news from Grant parish. The whites have retaken Colfax, and there is not a negro to be found for miles around. From passeu gers on the Southwestern we gleau the following : The negroes ha 1 strongly intrenched themselves in the court house, and built breast works three or four feet high. There ate, it is said, about four hun dred men armed and equipped thorough Ir. Un ?nnday about noon some one hundred and fi.'ty men, who had gathered from the surrounding parishes made an attack on the breastworks, and a brink fight was kept up till about three P M. when the works were stormed and cap tured, the negroes taking refuge in the court house, the doors of which were barricaded. After some further fighting the negroes threw out a fl.tg of truce, and several detachments of men advaiic ed on it, when they were fired on by the besieged party, wounding several, among whom were Captain Iladuot, who was shot in the bowels, and, it ia feared, fa tally wounded. The whites retreated outside of the breastworks, and, as the only means of dislodging the negroes, the court house was set on fire, and the blacks were shot as they came from the burning build ing. It is reported that nearly one hundred negroes were kilied, and there were none to be found for miles around. Washington, April 18 Attorney General Williams to-day received the fol Iowirg telegrams, addressed to him : New Orleans, April 17 Reports from Colfax are conflicting and uncertain A deputy marshal will arrive from there to-night with an authentic report. There is believed to have been a massacre of at least twenty or thirty negroes I will report in detail as soon as I have 'relia ble information. J. R. Bbckwith, U. S. Attorney. Tew Orleans, April 17. Mr. Pck lyne, my chief depuly, left hero last Sat urday with several warrants of arrest of parties in the parishes of Grant and Rapides. He arrived at Colfax on Tues day morning following the cwHision of last Sunday. He returned to day. He found the place almost deserted except by women , and caused to be buried the remaines of sixty colored men found on the Geld. It is reported that subsequent to the burning of the court-bouBO thirty four colored men, previously made prisoners, were taken to the river bank by couples, there shot and thrown overboard. It is also reported that colored men were shot iu the adjacent woods, where their bodies are still lying. He found also twelve wounded, eo me certainly mortally. The colored men present composed the posse, which under the direction of Sheriff Shaw (white), appointed by Governor Kellogg had taken possession of the court-house and were still holding it. Mr. Nash, formerly sheriff by the ap pointmcnt of Governor Warmoutb, and superseded by Shaw, led the whites. From creditable information there appear ed to have been no loss on the part of the colored men until after their surren der, when they were butchered without mercy, after the massacre in the court house, from which they were ejected by setting fire to the building. Sheriff Shaw is missing, and is supposed to have been killed. My deputy fonnd it impossible to make arrents without the presence of United States troops. Armed bodies of whites are still scouring the country The assailants consisted of organized parties from the parishes of Grant, Rap ides, Winn, Catapoula, Natchitoches, and Red River, and had in their possession a six pound cannon, taken, or as some al leged, loaned from the Red river steamer John T- More. Fifteen months since troops were re qu ired to execute warrants in this parish when a promt nent white Republican was murdered. Nash and others connected with this butchery were then arrested. No warrants have yet been issued for the parties connected with this last outbreak. When the circumstances of this massa ere are fully known it will be found to be equalled only by that of Fort Pillow. S. B Packard, U. S. Marshal. Washington,- April 18. Attorney General Williams this afternoon has tel egraphed the following to J.' R. Beck with. United States attorney at New Or leans : Sir: You are instructed to make a thorough investigation of the affair in Grant parish ; if you find that the laws of the United States have been violated you will spare no pains or expense to cause the guilty parties to be arrested and punished, and if military aid is ne cessary to execute any United States process you will call on General Emory for that purpose, who has been instruc ted to furnish it. Ueorob H. Wilmams, Attorney General Washington, April 18. The Act ing Secretary of War telegraphed this afternoon to Colonel Emory as follows : War Department, April 18, 1S73 To Colonel IP. H Emory, commanding Department of the Gu'f, Nite Orleans La : In case requisition is made upon you by the United States marshal to assist the United States authorities in the exe cution of any judicial process issued on account of the late reported disturbances in Grant parish, you will render the na cessary military aid for such purpose.

Death liy Fire and Water A TRAIN PRECIPITATED INTO A RIVER A BROKEN BRIDGE TUE CAUSE. Stonivoton, April 19. A dreadful accident occurred to the steamboat train on the Stouington and Providence rail road this morninjr. The steamboat train from Stonington for Boston fell throng tne bridge, at lticnmonu switcu. six cars were buried in the river. 1'iUeen persons are supposed to have been killed Six bodies have already been recovered from the ruins The accident was caused by the freshet weakening the bridge. Boston, April 19. Numbers of the passengers and survivors of the wrecked Stonington train reached Boston this af ternonn. Among them were several of the wouuded. None of them appeared to be seriously injured, except Nolan, the brakeman, w ho was taken to his home Conductor Oarduer and the baggage master bad just gone back lmo the smoking car when the accident happened. The couductor was jammed in between the seats by the shock, but showed great presence of mind by calling out to some one to go back with a signal fur the mail train, which was just behind them, and couiinr at a rapid speed. Some of the unharmed immediately rushed back and signaled the coming train, and a doubl disaster was averted. All the bidly wounded were taken to Providence, and arrived there about 3 o'clock this afternoon, and were taken to the hospital in that city. Mr. Jonas. Holstrour, who was a pas senger in toe lourtn car ot the train, gives the following account of the disas ter : The train, which consisted of five cars, left Stouiiigtou at 3:05, about 35 minutes ate. Tie rate of speed before reaching Richmond Switch was about 35 miles an hour, and the first intimation he had of a disaster was a sharp concussion, which burst open the car in which be was seat ed, and partially filled it with the debris of the preceding car. Mr. Holstrour was on' the left band side of the rear end of the car, and in front of him, on the the stove, were two opposite side, near young men, appa years of age, and rently from 20 to 25 directly behiud them was liei jamin R Kuapp, Jr., of Boston. Mr Holftrcur immediately after the shock heard the young men and Mr. Knapp call for help to extricate them, as they were wounded and held faet by splintered portions of ie preceding car. On reaching Mr. Knapp it was found that one of his legs was injured, and Mr. Holstrour and sev eral others set about to extricate him and the two young men, when suddenly a volume of flame shot into the car door, and instantly the mass of splinters was on fire, the flames ruthing through the car as quickly as though tho wood had been a lot of hay. The rescuers had barely time to re lieve Mr. Knapp from his position when they were obliged to flee for life, and the two unfortunate young man were left to meet their terrible fate, and were burned to death in a very few miuutcs. With these exceptions, none of the other oc cupants of this car were known to have perished, though quite a number bad very narrow escapes. Just before the fire buret into the car Mr. Holstrour and others were engaged in prying tip the stove, which apparently had imprisoned the two young men who were seated be side it, and the light of the fire was dis tinctly seen outside the train, but was supposed to be a signal to warn approach ing trains or to aid the rescuers in prose cuting their labors. The bridge where the disaster happen ed is between thirty and forty feet wide, and spans - a chasm of twenty feet in depth. Nearly forty rods above this point is a grist and saw mill on Pawcat uck river, and the supply of water for the mills is received by means of a dam. The storm swept away the dam, and the water in the stream below rose to the height of ten feet, carrying away the railroad bridge and abutments, which were found about fifty rods below. The rails at either eud of the bridge were left sticking up, and, when tho train came dashing along, the engine and tender leaped the chasm, and landed on the op posite side. Immediately behind were two crate cars, which plunged into the opening, followed by a second-class passenger car containing a number of emigrants and a party of sailors, belonging in Boston, who were returning from New York. As this car piled npon tho crate cars, it was splintered into kindling wood, and per sons inside were tumbled into the river, and, with one exception, were saved un injured. ' In the rear of this was a car which contained bat two passengers and Thomas Noland, the brakeman. The next car was occupied by quite a number of pas sengers and was the one in which Mr. Holstour was seated. Behind this was another passenger car and smoking ear. both of which were saved by uncoupling and running them back from the wreck The general opinion among the passen ger seems to be tbat the fire caught from a stove in the second class car, though its work was done so quickly that the origin will probably never be definitely known, as no one has yet arrived in Bos ton that can give a list of the number killed, but the general estimate is from eight to twelve. Stonington, April 19. In conversa tion with the owner of the mill dam to day tL was learned tbat he examined .the dam before retiring, and thinking there was some danger of its giving away opened the gate, which relieved it some what rom the pressure of the large body of water which it held in check. Had he taken proper precautions and strength ened the dam, before leaving, the acci dent would not have occurred. The rail road company is entirely free from blame in this matter, as it wai through no care lessness of theirs that the' accident oc curred. Mr. D. S. Babcock, vice president of the Stonington line, sends the following to the New York Associated Press : Stonington, April 19. I have just returned from the scene of the disaster. So far only five passengers and two em ployees have been found killed. The cause of the accident is very plain. The dam, 150 yards above the bridge, gave way aud precipitnted a pile of lum ber against the abutments of the bridge, which formed another dam, and the over flow undermined the abutments. The bridge was of only twenty feet span The wounded, maiuly emigrants, have been sent to the hospital in Prnvideuce. The engineer died at his post, with his hand on the throttle valve. There will be no further interruption of travel. Providence, April 19. There were probably but seven persons killed, name ly, Messrs. Allen, Creamer, Guile, KI dridge, Callahan, and two unfortunate persons whose limbs were burned off, leaving their trunks only. No inquest is deemed necessary by the coroner. Tho bodies have been brought to this city. NEWS DESPATCHES. San Francisco, April 15. The epi- zooty is fast coming this way.

They had sounded the top, and bad only time to express an opinion tbat it was not safe when it cams down. John Loft is, a laborer, and Michael Monaghan were also covered. Loft is is severely aud Monag han slightly injured. Knigiitstown Indiana, April 16. A riot has been in progress at the blast ornace of the Western Iron Company since four o'clock last evening between negro laborers from Virginia and white miners and puddlers who are on the strike. Three of the guard detailed from the police of the town were cruelly beat en. Rev. Mr. Mathews, who appeared on the scene and endeavored to secure peace, was set upon by the mob and struck in the head by a large cinder, which cut a severe gash, but did not ser iously injure him. Two guards, John Derby and George Murhnrgen, were bad ly bruised about the fact and body. The women were the most furious, they taking the lead during the affray, and leading the rioters oil. The Emmet Guards and a detachment of police, commanded by General Dan Macaulev, of Indianapolis, arrived here at five o'clock this morning, having been sent by Governor Hendricks, since when peace has been restored. Several of the ringleaders have been arrested and are being taken to Brazil, where they will be tried " The miners and puddlers are confident and defiant, and it is supposed they are waiting for the- withdrawal of the tronps to renew the attack. The better class of miners and puddlers are disposed to be uw-atjiumg. Women Have tuus tar proved the moBt desperate clement which perhaps accounts for tho fact that there is as yet no fatal results. Three o'clock P. M. Eight arrests have been made and the prisoners sent away sately. AH is apparently quiet here now, and the police and Emmet Guards will return to Indianapolis to night. Indianapolis. April 16 The indica tions of another riot at Knightst wn have ended. The military left for home this afternoon, a detachment of Indianapolis police remaining to prevent further out break. Mont' of the ringleaders have been arrested, aud many of them released on bail to be tried at Brazil tomorrow morning. Two escaped on the early traiu this morning All is quiet and the crowd has dispersed. Trouble is likely to break out at any moment again, and arms and ammunition will be kept with the furnace authorities, who are determined to prevent interfer ence. There is a very bitter feeling on the part of the strikers, and ouly great caution and Btrength can prevent a seri ous riot while the negroes are here. Indianapolis, April 17. There was considerable disturbance this afternoon at Knightstown. At 5 P. M , while a free fight was in progresi, several arrests were mado by two policemen whi-reupon a party of eight or ten women appeared and rescued the pi iaoners.
