The military agony is over. The roster
Of captives, from Shack -Nasta- Jim to the
redoubtable Captain Jack himself, is nearly
complete. This puny war which shocked
the whole country, first with horror at the
fate of the gallant Candy, and afterwards
with laughter at the meek heroic Iisd OF
the Lava Beds, viii worry the wits of mid
night editors no longer. And now recurs
the question: What was it all about?
What have we been fighting for? The orig
insl trouble arose from the refusal Of the
Modocs TO deliver up to the civil authorities
certain members of the tribe charged
with the murder of white settlers. Subse-
quently came the massacre Of Candy and
Thomas, whereupon Gen. Sher an issued
his bull of determination. But txtermina-
ton proved an awkward game, and the
thought of it must now be dropped after ac-
cepting the surrender of the rascals. Yet
the question remains, VIII the original muir
derers, if any of msurvive, be now turn
ed over TO the civil authorities? And will
Boston Charley who shot DR.. Thomas, and
Jack who shot Gen. Candy, be treated as
felons? Have we been engaged in war, or
in a very bloody police chase?

KENDALL & WHITNEY's annual catalogue of
seeds has just been issued from the Daily PRESS
House by VIM. M. Marks and is printed in the
very best style, its typographical execution re-
fecting great credit upon his care and skill. 1t
is pamphlet of about seventy pages and con-
tains full information in regard to the large
and choice variety of seeds. and agricultural i'm
plements which forms the stock of one of the
most extensive seed houses in New England.
The incidental information about and direc-
tions in regard to the proper planting and cul-
ture of seeds which the pamphlet contains will
render it of great value to all interested in agri
culture and its kindred pursuits. This infor-
nation is especially valuable, coming as it does,
near the opening of the spring season. The di-
rections regarding the culture and proper care
of flower gardens will be of great interest to
the ladies. We.hazard nothing in saying that
the firm of Kendall & Whitney stand unrival-
led in this State in value, variety and complete
ness of seed stock, aud in facilities for raising
and supplying it to the trade and to agricultur-
alists generally at the lowest market rates.
The seeds are all grown by the firm themselves
or by growers in whom they can place implicit
confidence, and none is allowed to pass out Of
their hands until satisfactorily tested By these
means the firm has acquired an enviable repu-
tation for just and honorable dealing. Its IA
cilities this year have been greatly increased,
and are now unrivalled. The stock of grass seeds
is especially large and very choice, and should
not be neglected by purchasers. The usual
good assortment of agricultural implements has
been added to, and now presents great variety
of choice.
The catalogue is now ready for gratuitous dis
tribution at Kendall & Whitney's warehouse in
Market Square. --

MR.. EDrroR:-I see by your report in the

the bridge was replaced as it was, not car
could pass under it, on what he calls illegal
tracks Very well, if this bridge had not been
removed these tracks over which your CORES
pondent grieves SO much, could not have been
used; therefore if 7 used his influence to have
the bridge removed, he in measure is account
able for the tracks being placed where they are.
Mr.. T. further says the County Commissioners
should require the p S. & p, and other rail-
roads to construct the bridge over the crossing
so as to make it safe and free from obstruction

Arrest for Embcxxlcmenr

City Marshal Clark received despatch from
New York recently, instructing him to board
the Allan mail steamship "Moravian," on 1t.
arrival atthis port, and if he found passenge
by the name of Frederic G. Beatton, to imme.
diately arrest him, as said Beatton was &C
cused of embezzling the funds of his employ
| ers in England, and then taking passage fol-
this country. The sum EN- bezzled was G150(
sterling
Yesterday two men arrived at the Falmouth
House, one of whom registered the names of
George Fl. Young and friend. 1t seems that
Young is New York detective, and the man
accompanying him was sent to identify
Beatton.
AS soon as the Moravian was signalled last
evening, Marshal Clark accompanied by the
New York officers, put out in tug to meet her.
They boarded her, found the man they wanted
arrested him, brought him on shore, and car
ried him to the Falmouth Honse. The GUS
toms officers were sent for and his trunks were
searched A superfuity of personal apparel
being found in them, they were taken in charge
by the inspectors. A cash box was found in
one of them, which, on being opened, was as
certained to contain e642 in English gold,
e4O0 in Bank of England notes, and several
drafts on Duncan & Sherman. This sum was
taken possession of by the detective, and a re-
ceipt given to Mr.. Beatton for the same. Last
night it looked as if a compromise would be
effected, and several papers passed between the
arrested man and the officers.
Beatton is a thick-set, heavy, blond-bearded
man, with much expanse of forehead, and
most child-like and bland smile. He appeared
perfectly cool, and apparently looked upon the
matter in the light of a business transaction in
which he had got cornered, and in order to es-
cape from which he must make some sacrifices
