Affairs In Dublin District.

On last Thursday week. young lady who
lives ABOUT IL mile from here, whilst playtu!ly
running across the yard in front of her hers
house, accidentally fell and broke her thigh The
fractured limb WIS set by DR. 5. ScarbOro and
she is now doing well.
On the same day Il lad named q. Norris cut
his foot badly with an axe, cutting the tendons
and scvering an artery. The wound was dressed
by DR.. Scarboro, and he his now doing we'll, but
1t will be some time before he Ia able to walk.
Anapprentce of n. Il. Bell, (millcr) named
James Little met with painful accident about
three weeks since. He was engaged in grcasng
cogs whilst the mill was running, when his hand
was caught in the machinery and crushed in u
terrible manner. 1t was first thought that the
hand would have TO be imputatcd, but through
the skill of his phycisan it is now conceded
that the wounded limb will be saved.
FARMING-THE CROPS.
After an unprecedented cold winter, Spring has
returned, and we are now enjoying the smiles
and tears of capricious April Our farmers are
very busy, as the late spring has kept them back
with their work. The crop of growing wheat
looks very fine, and fnothing untoward happens
we may reasonably expect n good crop of that
indispensable cereal. The Peach crop will be Il
failure as the fruit buds are all killed. and there
will not even be any blossoms; but we are in
hopes that there may be some apples. Grass
looks well, the clover having stood the winter
we'll.
Our springs and wells that went dry last
season are flush, and our streams of water have
their usual spring flow. The Susquehanna has
been very high ever since the thaw commenced,
and is now in fine rafting order. A great many
fish were caught last week with scoop nets about
the mouth of Deer Creek.
APPOINTMENT.
John Crawford, Esq, has been appointed
Post Master here, In the place Of Z. q. Bagley,
resigned. Mr.. Crawford keeps the office at F.
J. Crews store, and has appointed Mr., Crew

POLITICAL.
The Pnchback bayonet Government of ouisi
ana appears to be unhealthy, for perceive that
more than 100 negroes died very suddenly from
Its effects at Colfax Court House last week,
which seems to show that Grants Southern
policy is defective. In regard to our peace poll
cy with the wild Indians, recent events show
that these treacherous sons of the forest are not
thankful to our government for our intended
kindness The recent cold blooded murder of
the manly and excellent Candy and his col
leagues, calls aloud for retribution, and now It
war of determination ia all that should be
thought of. We have the men and means to
avenge this terrible atrocity; then let 1t be
done by all means and soon.

The MO,!Or War.

The long expected battle with the savage
y Modoc Indians, in the lava beds Of Oregon,
a took place on Tuesday and Wednesday of
y last week, and although the fighting is report
81 cd to have been severe, and the Indian allies
fought like heroes" the result of the yictor;,
q ifvictory it can be called, has been the retreat
zeffiie Ai0docs from their Businesses in the lava
cds TO the mountains. The losses in the
~ which lasted Two days were not 50
great as might have been expccted-the Uni

4 shout ten wounded while the Indian loss, as
4 far as could be ascertained, wasabout the same.
a Scar-iaced Charley, one of the most desperate
"a of the savages, was killed and his Squaw cap
gAturcd by the government troops.
sA 1t ia somewhat singular that considering
r The great disparity Of the opposing forces,
there having been upwards OF 300 govern
mcnt troops and only about 100 Modocs that
the latter should have succeeded in stealing
away unperceived with all their squaws,
papoosrs, &c It il true that the Indians
Awcrc well protected and hidden among the
rocks and caves bordering on Tulc Lake but
there certainly must have been want of vigi-
lance on the part Of the government forces,
which allowed the enemy 10 escape without
notice. II is now hoped that active efforts to
bring the murtlercrs of General Candy to con
dign punishment will not be intermitted. II
Captain Jack should he taken alive, as we
hope hc will he, let him bc tried as any other
murderer and il convicted, le! him suffer the
penalty Of law, by being hanged. If such Il
ssscoursc were pursued toward Indian murder
'crs, tho disgrace and shame of such Il death,
\ robbed as It would be of I'LL the glory which
HE Indian mind surrounds death in battle,
would have far more effect in preventing
n their dcpreaatons and raids upon the white
settlers, than the policy heretofore pursued of
treating them as independent helligercnt
ss'sFssops.
