. THE MEXICO TROUBLE.
" Certain newspapers express their opin
inu on li e captuie f the "marauders that
invaded Texas (rem 3Ixico, as an' out
rage ou the international righta of 5Iex
ico. Their articles on the rulject. Im
press the reader vrith the fact that thry
have forgotten to write of the rights of
ctrzeii8 of the Uiiittd States. For weeks
and mouths bands of Mexicans and In
dians have crorsed in!o Texas and com
mitting theft of property, and doing
violence to the persons of our people
The Mexican government knew of these
depredations. It is powerles?, or it does
not care to prevent them. It might be
of snnie interest to know just which of
there two reasons is the cause of its fail
ure to act in the matter ; hat aside from
it as a matter cf interesting information
it is of little consequence whether they
do or do not connive at the work, or
whether they can or cannot prevent the
depredations What is desired, nay, de
manded, is that their robbery be stopped
We have stood on ceremony a good
while. Gen. McKenzie forgot his cere
tnnuy ; ho thought of the indignity to
)is country, and the violation of inter
na lion al law, and thus inspired, he chased
the . first baud of Mexican tbievee he
fonnd on our soil beyond the border into
Mexico until he overtook, fought, whip
ped and captured the greater portion of
them. He then returned to American
soil, and thus we are told McKenzie vio
lated international law. We are told he
bad no right to go into Mexico. Ilight
or not right, he did go. and the popular
verdict is that under the circumstances
be did no more than he should have done.
It is a practical wny of solving the Mex
ican border question a question that
politicians aud quack statesmen could
woik at through commissions for a dozen
years to come, at an expense of many
millions of dollars, and then be about as
near a solution as when they commenced.
The public mind does col believe that we
must be bound hand and foot by inter
national law, when our national neighbor
violates it every week and invades our
soil, robs our citizens aud drives them a.
beggars from their homes. ;The pub'b
do not believe that . they should remain
quiet under such circumstances. They
do not see the force of the argument that
troops that are sent to guard the border
should . not pursue across 'the national
lice whomsoever has dared to invade our
oil to rob and plunder and then "return
to Mexico. Their verdict is, up and at
the vagabond', catch them now that yon
have the chance, and don't wait for a
formal declaration of war against' Mex
ico before you bpgin. Comprehending
the international point at issue they
would 'leave diplomatists to split hairs
aver it, while they, taking the common
sense way of it, would soon end it, ai

DECORATION DAY.
Decoration day was faithfully observed.
among those who cherished the Northern
form of civilisation. In this county ap
propriate ceremonies were . conducted at
Pcrrysvilla. - .-
Parties high in governmental position
have proposed that hereafter an effort
should be made to have the Southern
people and the Northern people decorate
the graves of their fallen bravea on one
aud the same day, to that all traces of
the past 6trngg'e should be obliterated.
The motive that prompts such a proposal
may be good.' It is cot here questioned.
Be it ever so worthy, the thought of ac
cepting it cannot be entertained for a
moment. - 1 :
The bravery of the Southern people
caunot be questioned ; their devotion to
the defunct peculiar institution is not
doubted, and an earnest longing . for its
restoration is known to abido in their
hearts. If they whsh to cherish that
idol in their hearts, it would be a viola
tion of christian virtue and liberality to
say that they should not. '' ; ; "
So lung as they do not commit the
overt act for its restoration let them, if
they chooee, pray for it ; let them speak
and write for it. Those rights of Amer
ican citizenship they should enjoy. They
do enjoy them now, and it ia also right
that they should decorate the graves of
their dead, who fell iu defeuce of the
mourned "lost cause," when they please,
aud ia their own way. More than that.
We would have them erect their monu
ments of the most enduring material, and
have it inscribed thereon that they died
in dtftuce of human slavery ; that they
fell in battle for the -perpetuity of a spe
cies of governmental'and social despot
ism. Posterity must not bo -hoodwinked
as to the relative position of the Southern
and Northern people j there must not be
such a blending aud obliteration of facts
that our children "will not know what the
fight was about It must be ever known
and remembered that . Northern people
struggled for individual human freedom,
and that the Southern "people took up the
sword for individual human bondage,
cast rule, despotism and slavery. We
have won the fight as they made it ; we
will keep it as we finished it. We will
meet them as friends, if they wieh so to
meet and greet us, and strictly to observe
the amenities of life ; but their political
aud governmental gods shall cot be our
gods. We will not bow with them at
their shiines, fur by so doing " the ' fol
lowers of the deaf, dumb and dead Baal
cannot be distinguished from the follow
ers of the true. and living God."

The cavalry and artillery commands and
Warm Spring . Indians, under . Colonel
Green, left Boyle'a Camp at at two A. M
to-day, and rode hot hasto to Clear Lake
to lead the way to Captain Jack's r Wil
low Creek retreat. ' ' :" I"-'-1
They fed the troops to a point near
Jack'a retreat, '' within ' a mile of the
stronghold. -: Captain Haebrouck, passed
up the north side of the creek with his
squadron, and Captain Jackson 'a squad
ron went over the creek along the south
side. Captain Hasbronck, having a mile
further to travel than Jackson, did not
arrive at the stronghold in time to accom
plish the desired 'Connection;'' ;
Captain Jack was ' nevertheless sur
prised at 2 P. M : Jackson's 1 men came
across two pickets : on a' bluff near the
creek, and rati them through the juniper
to Jack's retreat. The flying Modocs
cried Out' "Run qnick T rim quick 4 sol
diers arc' icoming !'' Captaia Jackeott
deployed his skirmishers along' the- face
of the bluff, Expecting to'r'eceive a heavy
fire.' Ilia men ran to the front . like der
nnder the lead'of their officers. '
' Suddenly the Modocs Conversant with
English cried out, ' "Surrender, sarren

peace ; we' like peace ' talk' Boston
Charley, the murderer of Dr. ' Thomas,
came iu full view and was immediately
covered by a' dozen rifles. ' Charley of
fered to surrender, and - was allowed to
come into camp, as he feared the Warm
Spring scouts. ' He threw down his rifle
and extended his hand in token of friend
ship. The proffered member was ' cor
dially grasped by the scouts.
' Charley was then passed' to the rear
under guard, and was taken to the other
Modoc captives, and by them interview
ed. 'He said several of Jack's best war
riors wanted to leave bird ' and' come "to
our camp, and volunteered to put up the

job. : ' -'- ' - '
.- Had : Uasbronck formed the desired
connection in time the entire band would
have been killed or captured ; but'lt was
impossible for hia command to accomplish
the task. His troops did all that could
be done by' any men. -:They rode over
fragments of lava, and one mile further
than the distance ; ridden by Captain
Jackson's command.
.' The surprise resulted in the surrender
of Boston Charley, Princess Mary, sister
of Captain Jack,' Blck Jim's woman
and five other : female Modocs, ' ranging
from nine to ' uiuety years of age, and
seven ponies and mules. The Modocs
actually slipped from the grasp -of the

At 6 A. M. yesterday the. troops left
Willow creek camp for a short and de
cisive . scout, and met with admirable
success.. The Warm Springs tracked
the Modocs across the creek, in a north
erly direction, then due north, and finally
to a rocky cliff bounding Langell's Val
ley on the east, . lliis scout irora the
outset was a most exciting campaign. -.
.The freshness of the tracks and appar
ent proximity to the Modocs maintained
continual excitement. The troops . were
led over the ridge aud bills, along the
canons and valleys and over . small
streams of water. The route was trav
eled with difficulty Vy the best trained
horses, -and miles upon miles of lava in
fragmentary form were crossed. ' .
. I he scouts lost the trail, and. we were
detained two hours. This ' halt was
broken by a sudden yell from the Warm
Spring ' Indians and ' cheers '.' from the
soldiers, and the ' command' "Forward I''
was given by Col , Green. ' The 1 scouts
were called out to the right and left of
the line to cpvcr ihs trail. '
Suddenly"' four rifle shots' were fired
from the rocks, "and the bullets whizzed
over our heads.1' A line "of 'skirmishers
was deployed along the crest of the bluff
which started the Modoes from their fair.
" Then came troop K, of the First Cav
alry, Major Cresson - commanding - and
Lieutenant Bacon in charge of the skir
mishers. ' Troop K belonged to Captain
Jackson's squadron.- Hasbrnck's squa
dron held another, equally important
position," and was ' as usual ' on' time.
Along the crest of the bluff and down
the steep trail ou its side charged the en
tire force of two ' hundred and thirty
men. ; .
. : Abont this time Scarfaced Charley and
two or three other Modoes rushed down
the rocks and, surrendered. Five Modocs
came in at on car Hostilities ceased, and
Dr. Cabanen, of Yreka, contract surgeon
who has long been acquainted .with the
Modocs, went up along the rocks and
made peace negotiations. ,.

A prominent Baltimore lawyer writes
that when a man ' or woman poisons a
human being without detection, one, suc
cessful erime of this sort begets such a
sense of power and of ability to .remove
at will every human obstacle, ''that,. In
nearly every case, the mind becomes
warped and the poisoner is ready with
the deadly draught to avenge the most
trifling disrespect or wrong.'1. . p y - -f
Mr, Speaker," exclaimed a,mrmber
of the . Arkansas Legislature "my col
league taunt mewiih a desire for fame.
I scorn the imputation, sir. Fame, sir !
What is fame T ' It is a shaved pig with
a greased tail, which slips through the
hands of thousands, and then is acciden
tally caught by ; some fellow that hap
pens to hold on to it. I let this greased
tailed quadruped go by, me '. without an
effert to clutch it, sir."
I know a women who lives in a coun
try village. With a heart and brain
alive to better things, she stays there and
day after day, year after year, takes earn
of an idiot brother, and for her reward
baa only vacant smiles aud meaningless
gibberish. It is such a half life, you
say ; it is - vegetating ; yon ' could ; not
lives. WeHr perhaps so. But I im
agine that it ia a sort of vegetation that
will bloom out grandly in the sunshine
of a taeouie! dt,)Ztchange. 1 1 f . U

A Washington special says : There is
sufficient authority for staling postively
that the government will sustain Colonel
Mackenzie's pursuit and punishment of
the Kickapoos tipon Mexican territory,
aud there is hi longer reason to 'doubt
that the recent visit of, the Secretary, of
War to Texas had for its main object
the arrangement7 ftndi authorization of
this plan for putting a stop to Indian
depredations along the Mexican fron
ties.;..' - i-
' An Iowa clergyman was just unrea
sonable enough to want hi, salary,' -and
when the' church '.failed' utterly to " pay
him any considerable portion of it, he
sued and recovered judgment'- The mat
ter, was recently made the subject rof in
vestigation by k council of inquiry; and
that tribunal arrived at four solemn find
ings, viz : "That the church did wrong
in failing to pay its pastor his salary ;
that the pastor did"wiong in suing the
church ; that the church should apolo
gize to the pastor, and that the pastor
should apologize to the. church." Jack
Buusby would have found it hard to beat
that. -
' The Pulaski Citizen tells" this little

Kobineon, of lilies county, killed a chick
en snake which measured seven - feet in

fence, half of its body being on either

toe snake bad swallowed a rabbit before
it attempted to crawl through the crack,
and tnat after its body was half through
it caaght and swallowed another , rabbit,
thus having a rabbit ou each side of the
fence. . The crack was so small that the
rabbits: couhl not -ger- through, and- the
