JACKSONVILLE, OREGON, October 4.

here late last evening with the following re-

his band

They trod on it with apparent Indifference,
having evidently resolved to die as bravely

South Carolina Monument. pAssocla-
ton.

The board of directors Of the South Caro-
lima Monument Association desire again to
bring before the people Of the State the work
in which they are engaged. They have
bought and paid for most eligible site In
Columbia for the erection of the monument
that commanding eminencessso well known
as ''Taylor's Hill".--and have entered into a
contract with an artist in Louisville, Ky:
for the construction of the monument, the
granite to be furnished from our own State
quarry, and the marble from the famous
quarries of Carrara Italy, where the marble
part of the work will be executed In April,
1874, the corner. stone Of the monument
will be laid, and then the board will feel that
a large part Of their labor Of love has been
accomplished. There remains, however: six
thousand dollars more to be raised before
the work can be completed, and it is earnest
ly hoped that this sum will soon be made up,
and this last tribute paid to our honored
dead and the principles for which they died
The women of South Carolina, who have as
sumed this sacred task, do not feel that this
work conflicts in any way with the duty
they owe to the widows and orphans OF our
fallen heroes; indeed, the monument Assocla-
tion is, in great measure, composed OF these
bereaved ones, and there is scarcely one
member to whom the Southern cause is not
doubly sacred from its having cost her the
life blood of her dearest and best. While,
therefore. they feel it proud privilege to
assist the widow and orphan Of the Conied-
crate soldier, they know that this is
privilege, in its very nature transitory, and
they would, in the enduring granite and
marble. place on record before coming gen;
erations, their undying fidelity to the princi-
pies of South Carolina in her best days, and
their gratitude to the men who died to main
tain them. Confidently, then, the board OF
directors appeal to the women of the State
to rally once more to their aid Two nun
dred collars from each district will give them
them the required sam. Surely, for this
small sum, they will not appeal in vain.
The ladies of Columbia will again open
bazaar during the fair, in that portion of the
fair building allotted to them by the courtesy
of the officers of the South Carolina Agricsl-
tural and Mechanical Association. Contri-
buttons af any kind will be gratefully receiv-
ed and may be sent to either Of the following
board of directors: Mrs. William Wallace,
Mrs. John T. Darby, Mrs. William Martin,

twenty eight minutes past ten o'clock their
pulses were felt by Capt. Hoge, and as this
is being written they are swinging liteless
in the air.
AS the drop fell with terribly deadly thug,
four poor, wrctched human beings fell into
eternity and halfsmothered cry of horror
went up from crowd Of over five hundred
Klamath indians who witnessed the awful
spectacle. Walls Of deep and bitter anguish
went up from the stockade where the wives
and children of the poor fellows had fair
view of The shocking scene. The collins, six
in number, had been placed directly in the
rear of the gallows Two of them were des
tined to be uuoccupied, as the order commut-
ing the sentences of Barancho and Slolux
only arrived at halfpast ten last evening, and
the preparations had been made for their ex-
ecution with the others.
An application was made this morning to
Gen. Wheaton by the sheriff of Jackson
County, Oregon, for the custody of the In
dians indicted by the grand jury, but was re-
fused.

LOUISE Observation-Disclosures of
the death of Louise Muhlbach, the German
novelist, on the 18th of September, has been
published. She was native of New
brandenburgh, Mecklenburg-Strelitz, where
she was born in 1914. In her youth she
had excellent advantages to educate herself,
and an eager love for study. Her name then
was Clara Miller. While travelling as the
companion of German lady of rank she met
Tneordore Mundt: then promising young
author. Two years later they were married,
and settled in Berlin. Except short time
at Breslau, they have ever since resided
there, and were very happy. 1t will donbt-
less surprise many people, to whom the name
Louise Muhlbach" is so familiar, to learn
that it is nom de plume She began to
write works, when very young her first, "a
Romance Of Berlin" being" published when
she was twenty-five years old. Her house
was great social centre for the literary So
cety Of Berlin for many years. She had two
daughters, one of whom, Theodore, was some
time since, actress, and the other, Theresa,
is ambitious of fame like her mothers. In
1861 the husband of Mrs. MuDdt died, in
sance. Her novels have been political,
religious and reformatory. The private life
of Mrs. Mundt is said to have been entirely
refined and full of generous and worthy ac-
tions.

his vivid masterpieces of animal life, espe-
cially of dog fife, are scattered far and wide

terrible calamity Of insanity, and it is long
since his sure and rapid brush has convert

As the delineator of animals he stands fore

have been hereditary in his family, for at
least one of Sir Edwin's brothers, and one
of his nephews, have attained eminence in
the painters profession; but neither has
reached the classical height to which he
early succeeded, and which he maintained
until his reason became so sadly clouded.-
Those who'have gazed with admiration upon
the noble gallery of his paintings at the South
Kensington Museum, and the specimens Of
his handiwork in the collections of the Duke
of Sutherland and the Earl of Eelesmere,
can alone appreciate what genius England
has lost in Sir Edwin Landseer. 1t was
fitting that he, like Reynolds, Lawrence and
Grant should receive recognition for his
talents from the government, by his creation
as Knight of the Bath for his name will
stand high on the roll of British painters.

ORIGIN OF THE MoDoCs.-With the exc
eution of Captain Jack and his braves, the
name which he has rendered so famous, will,
perhaps, become extinct. 1t is the death
blow to the Modoc tribe.
The origin of the tribe is very OBSCURE
/. 1t is possible that they are of Welsh descent;
and that several centuries before Columbus
had performed his perilous voyage, their
ancestors sailed from the shores Of Britain,
explored the wild paths Of the Atlantic,
and finally landed on the coast of America.
The historical facts on which this suppo-
sition is based, are these, which we gather
from the preface of Southey's "Madoc:"
On the death of Owen Gwyneth, King of
Wales, A. D. 1859, his children disputed
the succession. Yorwerth, the elder, was
set aside without struggle. He was in-
capacitated by bemish in his face. Da-
vd, the eldest son of the King, bp a second
wife, obtained possession of the throne;
slew Yorwertb, imprisoned Rodri, and hunt
ed others Of his birth, run into exile. Ma
doc abandoned his barbarous country in
disgust, and sailed away to the West in
search Of some better resting place. The
land which he discovered pleased him he
left there a part of his PEOPLE, and went
back to Wales for fresh supply of adven:
turcrs, with whom he again set sail, and
was heard of no more. Strong evidence
has been adduced that he reached America,
and his descendants finally settled on the
banks of the Missouri.
1t is highly probable that this Prince
Madoc was the ancient progenitor of the
Modoc tribe. They certainly resemble
Welshmen in one thing: bravery. No say
age warrior ever possessed more cool, un-
finching courage, than Captain Jack.
