The Iberville Pioneer and the re-
Gently suspended Nears, have been
consolidated under the title of Pioneer
and Ne,us, and the proprietorship of
the former publishers of the two jour-
mails. The new publication combines
the merits of both the Pioneer and
the Ne,cs, and will take rank as one
of the ablest journals in Louisiana.
We extend congratulation to our
1berville brethren of the craft for their
sensible determination, and wish them
the greatest success in their new I'M
dertaking.

Gen. JEFF. C. Davis has assumed
command Of the troops in the Modoc
country, and has infused new life into
the almost discouraged soldiery. At
latest accounts the Modocs were sur
rounded, and their determination
seems likely to be accomplished within
a short delay. An engagement between
the Modocs and the Warm Spring
Indians, who are aiding the Govern
ment forces, resulted in the defeat of
the former, and the capturing of a
large portion of their ammunition
and provision supplies.
