Washington, April 30. OSciul des
patches 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 Modocs. As soou as they were re
ceived, Secretary Ilobeson called upon
'Jeneral Sherman, wheu a prolonged con-j
epilation ensued. General Sherman had
previously expressed the hope that the
press reports were exaggerated. He did
not b-lievc that our forces had been sur
prised, and was inclined to dctiouuce the
story as tcld in the morning papers as
sensational and untrue. The result of
the consultation was a decision to con
centrate all the available forces on the
Pacific slope for the support of General
Jell C, Davis, who has assumed com
maud. This decision, however, is virtu
ally a repetitiju of the results of previ

No additional news had been received
at the Indiana Kurrau A general im
pression prevailed, however, that the re
cent sense of security regarding future
operations of the savages bad been has
tily reached. It is known that news of
the success of Captain Jack's band will
be communicated to other hands and
tribes with a mysterious and accurate
rapidity almost equal to the telegraph
itself, and it U believed that the signal
fires which have been built lately on the
hills adjacent to the lava beds may have
commuuicated not only information to
other hostile savages, but invitations to
'join in a general uprising ngaiust the

the lessons received by our troops on the
26th ultimo are Irish in the momories of
those in cammand. Nothing will be done
for the present, while awaiting the arri
val of the 4th Infantry, now on their
way from Little Hock. They will pro
bably arrive at the lava beds about the
17th of this month, and the additional
five hundred men will enable General
Gillem to surround the enemy and starve
them out.
From additional particulars I have
gathered relating to the fight of tho 2(!th
ult., the great loss of life is mainly attri
buted to the desertion of Company E.
1 2th Iufantry, and some few of the ar
.tillery, who, when ordered to fall back
and hold a bluff in the rear of the troops
to cover their retreat, started falling back
and would probably be falling back still
if they had n t struck our camp
It appears the command had just reach
ed little sandhill, and were grouped to
gether talking-about their trip, when a
couple of shots were fired, afterwards
followed by four or five more. Captain
Thomas and Captain Wright displayed
great coolness, the former ordering Cap
tain Wright to move his men and to hold
a position in the rear, while he sent the
artillery to the right to take possession
of a breastwoik.
If these orders had been executed
iLcre- would have been comparatively
slight loss. But the meu w;ut straight

commissioned officers fell bsck ' to these
points, expecting to be coverea, wiPy

Modocs, who had crept round and taken 1
possesion of thu very position that they
expected was held by the cowards then
ou their way to camp The gallant little
band were then entirely surrounded and
left at the mercy of the savages, who
poured in an incessant fire. The Warm
Spring Indians, who came up later, were
unable to be of much assistance, as they
had to keep hack to avoid the fire of our
own troops. The reinforcements arrived
at dark, and, not knowing the country
lay iu the rocks until daylight on Sunday
when they proceeded to the relief of the
wounded.
In the late fight there were 13 killed,
16 wonnded and 5 missing.

President Grant's Indian Policy.
The journals aud men who have, and
do still declare President Graut's Indian
peace policy a failure, because the gal
lant and meritorious General Cauby was
treacherously killed, and because there
seems just now an Ind:an war of con
siderable lUignitude about to open, cer
tainly have not given the subject the
.,. r .t tit fl'l

is not a single feature in the attitude now
revealed by the Iudiaus that has not been
presented clearly and distinctly at the
opening of every Indian war since our
race came from the Old World to occupy
the Indian's home.
The first colonial settlements of im
portance in this country were made in
Virginia in 1607, aud in Massachusets in
1620. At both these places the Indians
received our people in a fricudly manner.
They did uot know but that he came
from the Sun, or tho Moon, or distant
space. They believed him to be a eupe
rior being, and stood in awe in his pres
ence. He was superior then. He is
superior now, because of superior cir
cumstances But that he is superior by
nature may well be doubted, in the light
of history, which reveals to ns the fact
that the best nations of the white race
sprang from the cruel hut-living, half
naked and half skin clad Greek tribes
and Romans ; and it h not yet eighteen
htiudred years since our fathers and
mothers ran naked in the summer and
iu the winter partially clothed with the
skins of wild beasts in the woods of
Germany and over the moors and hills of
England, Scotland and Ireland, and oc
cupied a place but a few degrees higher
in the estimation of the then civilized
Roman, than the Indian now rccupics iu
mtr pfttimntinn. Wo do not. r.lem fiir flip

Indian. c write for our own race
i We are asking that we do not forget our
selves, and that the humane and wise
policy of President Grant be not given
up without a trial of at least a dozen
years. It will take almost if not quite
that length of time to get rid of the in
fluences engendered by the old fashioned
Indian agent and trader, which, iu the
majority of cases, were the indirect, if
not the direct cause that- bred the wars
that from time to time sprang up between
our people and the Indians.
We stated above that the Indians re
ceived the colonists of Virginia and
Massacluisctts friendly. Iiy and by war
came. In each colony it was the trader
that was the cause of s.!ie beginning of
war between the races. He cheated the
Indian. He has cheated him from that
day down to this, and taught him nothing
but deception and dishonor. The Indian
knows no redress for a gross fraud per
petrated on him but that administered by
the tomahawk and scalping knife. They
constitute his highest and only tribunal.
He does not only employ them on the
white race, but he as readily strikes
down the rascal of his own race as he
does the rascal stranger. Au Indian's
foe is Lis foe, whether white man or In
dian, and he treats them all alike.
The governmental Indian agent and
the Indian trader, in a majority of cases,
have been nothing more than civilized
thieves, who plundered the Indian till he
sought redress in the murderous way
known to their race, sparing neither old
nor young. And then we hold up our
hands in horror and say, kill the beasts,
while the sinister agent and trader stand
in the background, telling all that pass
by them ilint a bloody extermination is
all that will answer these savages
Preeident Grant comprehends the situa
tion. IJe sees the prolific cause of these
troubles, and he wishes to rid the coun
try of them, by removing the old fash
ioned aud disgraceful Indian agent, and
putting in his place men who act their
part in life on a higher plaiu. He pro
poses to send men to the Territories who
are men of integrity, who go for the pur
pose of redeeming the Indian, if possible,
and not for pay or plunder.
The death of General Cunby did not
result through the working of the "peace
policy," but it was the result of ' the
policy of fraud and general rascality that
has been practiced so long. The Modoc
war would have broken out sooner or
later. It is the avenue of escape for
savage vengeance engendered by griev
ances real aud unreal, and must be met
and fought out, as have the many Indian
wars that prececded it, but when it is
ended, then will be the time to apply
the policy of President Grant. It will
then have the semblance of a fair chance
With men inspired with the President's
policy at the head of all the missions, a
better state of affairs may be expected.
The application of the President's policy
cannot make the case any worse thau it
now is, and hat been for generations. '
AN ATROCIOUS CRIME.
Horrible Murder Near Saltzbnrg.
A Young Girl Violated and then liur
derod. A Pair of "Tramps" Said ( be the Per
petrators. We record this morning one of the
most terrible murders that has ever oc
curred iu this community. The victim
of this dastardly and horrible crime is a
little girl, who was violated and murder
ed, after a lenible struggle, in the woods
about a half mile from Sallzburg station
in this count. The citizens of the vi
cinity are terribly aroused, aud if the
perpetrators are caught, Judge Lynch
will piobably decide their case.
About half mile from the little station
of Saltzburg ou the Cotinellsville road,
an honest coal miner resided named
Christian Cline, he had in his family an
adopted daughter named Eliza Mess, au
interesting Jittle girl of some fourteen
years of age. Cliue is iu the employ of
tbs Schanks & Brown coal company.
Yesterday morning about nine o'clock
Mrs. Cline sent the girl, who was rather
small for her age to the company's or as
it is known to the J. C. Schauk's store
to get some groceiies. The child stayed
away very long for one having to go on
ly a short distance, and Mrs. Cline be
came very anxious. Inquiries were made
which revealed the fact that the child
bad been seen by the Conuclldvillc Rail
road day watchman talking to two men
on the path leadiug to McCloskey's
woods. A search of the woods was at
oay.e commenced, and at about two hun
dred yards from the authracito coal mine
track among the leaves a horrible sight
presented itself. There lay the form of
the little girl in a pool of blood, preseut
ing at once a heartrending and sickening
sight. She was still alive and moaning
Her bead was crushed iu aud a stone
was imbedded in the skull. A fence
stake lay near by, broken iu two, oue
end of it being besmeared with brains
and the life-blood of the innocent victim
of brutal lust aud 'crime. The almost
lifeless body was picked up and carried
to her home. She lingered nntil about
twelve yesterday morning when she died.
She remained insensible until her death.
The ground about where the murder
had been committed showed that a terri
ble struggle must have taken place The
ground for many feet around where she
lay was torn up, remnants of clothing,
several pants and a shirt button, showed,
what a terrible straggle she must have
made to defend her life from the terrible
rumaiis
As soon as the news of the
horrible crime gained circulation, excite
ment became intense in the community.
Miners left work and determined to fer
ret out the brutal creatures who were
capable of( committing so horrible a
crime. - j
As we have above stated, an employe
of the Counellsville road saw two men:
talking to the girl ou the path leading
into McCloskey's woods. He gave a
description of them, as follows ; One of
the men wore a cap, and tho other a
slouch hat; one was about five feet five
or six niches high, while the other might
have been two or three iuches taller. "
The shortest one appeared to be about
thirty-five years of age, and the tallest
thirty-two'. One of them had on Ken
tucky jean clothing, while the other man
wore a sort of a brown cloth coat, faded,
and cassimere pants and vest. Shortly
after this, Mr. Charles Dillon saw two
men just answering this desciption jump
the fence of MeCloskey's woods and
walk hurriedly toward the railroad track.
Ho also sa-.v the girl go into the woods.
The men looked like "tramps," but he
took no more notice of them, as he did
not then know of the occurrence.
Yesterday afternoon Mayor Blackuiore
received the following dispatch, which
was the first information that was receiv
ed of the horrible murder in this city :
Please look out for two suspecioas
looking characters walking towards Pitts
burgh. Wore caps and jean suits; one
has coin whiskers ; supposed to be Ger
mans ; last seen at Port Perry at 11:30
a.m.; appeared to be in gieat hurry.
Little girl murdered at S iltzburg.
On the receipt of this faint inkling an
other dispatch was sent by the Mayor
inquiring for further particulars, in reply
to this another dispatch was received as
follows : "Eliza Mess, age fourteen
years ; murdered oue half tnih from
Saltzburg."
This was all the full particulars that
was sent.
- Last evening Mr. Hutchinson, of Saltz
burg, accompanied by auother gentleman
came down to this city to see if they
conld get the assistance of our detectives
to ferret out the' murderers. These gen
tlemen stated that they knew the route
the men had taken and had traced them
till within eight miles of this city. De
tectives Long and Messner were detailed
to go with the men and see if they could
capture the fiends or find any clue to
them. Mr. II. stated he thonght they
had come into the city, and might be
found in some drinking saloon, bat the
officers were unsuccessful in their search.
At about eleven o'clock they came to
the Mayor's office without their man.
i They, however, found that these men
where the officers wanted to go. But
the Mayor thought they had best wait
till this morning as the men would pro
bably be at the coke ovens to night to
sleep and then could be easily captured
this woruing. There is no doubt but
that these men will be captured as great
efforts are being made for their arrest.
The murder has created a terrible excite
ment in tins vicinity; as, for atrocity, it
has probably never been equalled in this
community, the victim, a young and
innocent girl of only fourteen years of
age, being violated and then murdered
The place chosen, too, for the crime is a
pleasure resort in summer, being used for
picnics, etc., and is about oue hundred
and fifty yards from any house. Here
the girl was way laid and murdered,
where no one save the heartless villains
could hear her cries or pleadings for life.
An interview with Mr. Robert Hutchin
son revealed the fact that the community
around Saltzburg is terribly excited and
aroused, and that 'judge lynch' will un
doubtedly prevail if the perpetrators are
captured "For,' said he, 'the commnn
ity is fully aroused, and they are search
ing far and near to find them, and will
spare no money to capture them. They
are too excited now to wait for law. They
will mete out justice such as California
gave to like criminals years ago.' 1'iUt

AN AWFUL ACCIDENT.
SUDSEN FALL OF A IEON BEIEGE.
FEARFUL LOSS OF LIFE.
Dixon, III., May 4 A terrible acci
dent, involving a fearful loss of life, oc
curred here this afternoon. The rite of
baptism was being administered at a
point iu Rock river just below the Trues-
dall iron bridge, aud about two hundred
persons, including many ladies and cliil
dren, had gathered on the bridge to wit
ness the ceremony. Suddenly, without
warning, the bridge give way and pre
cipitated the living freight into the stream
below. The scene which ensued was
indescribably terrible, as the struggling
victims vainly endeavored to free them
selves from the ruins of the bridge aud
from each other.
Large crowds of people on tho banks
rushed wildly to and fro, many of them
so distracted with terror as to bo unable
to render any assistance. Others more
self-possessed, speedily brought ropes,
planks, and boats went nobly to work to
rescue the living and recover the dead.
Some of those who were on the bridge
when it fell were so near the ends thai
they were able to reach land without, as
sistance. Up to C o'clock P. M thirty two dead
bodies had been taken from the r'ver,
aud it is almost certain that there art
others still ui.der tue wrick ( tin
briilgo.. Of those saved, twenty foui
were more or less injured, some fatally.
Another Horse Disease said to be Threat
. ' cuing us.
In som of the cities of Xew Y-rk.
and in unav. other localities, there is now
prevalent among horses a disease whL-h
disables them as quickly and as deciaVd
ly as the late epizooty visit did. This
new phase, which is supposed to bj one
of the results of the late affection of the
horses, attacks the hoofs of the anim lis,
causing swollen and ulcerated fetlocks,
some cases becoming so aggravated tnat
the hoofs drop-off entirely.
It is reported that a larga nuqiber of
horses in this city already show symp
toms of the disease, and one veterinary
surgeon is said to have under his care
some thirty horses so afflicted.
The complaint seems to be simply an
aggravated type of what ia known as
"grease in horses' heels," llnS peculiar
severity being attributed to the lale visit
of the epizooty, and to the damp and
trying weather of the present very back
ward season. It is to be devoutly hop
ed that our horses will escape the new
affliction. Philadelphia Inquirer.

A LITTLE GIRL THE tICTIN OF TWO
YILLIANS.
The Wheeling Int llig'ncer tells of a
horrible outrage said to have been com
mitted a day or two since near the Nar
rows, below Ben wood, Wet Va 'A
girl about fourteen years old, accompani
ed by two brothers younger than herself,
started from some poiut west of here, to
visit friends or relatives in Moundsville.
Reaching Bellaire by rail, they got out
ot the cars for some pnrpose, and whde
absent the train went on, leaving them
behind. They crossed over to lien wood,
and as some time would elapse before a
train would be passing for Mi.undsvill.;,
they concluded to walk. Everything
went well with them until they rendu d
a poiut near the Narrows, wheu two vil
lians seized the girl and violated her per
son. Her shrieks aud the outcries of her
brothers attracted the notice of one or
two men at woik in a field some distance
away, and they proceeded to the spot
aud arrested one of the scoundrels. The
other made l is escape befnrc'they could
get their hamU on him. While march
