The Press on the ~odOe Disaster.
The Herald commenting on the se-
cond MUdoc battle on Saturday last,
says there is much force in the PROPOSE
ton which has been made, to put old
Indian fighters aud old Indian system
of waretare against the MOiocs. Ii
thinks General Sheridan is com pe'ent
10 make short work Of them, and
should be detailed at once nv the Presi
dent 10 do so From present il d ca
tious the exterminatiOn o. the MOdOca
will cost g. much az did tue euhJ~ction
OF the Se,niuoes. wi ch cost st the rate
Of forty thoussnd dollars ter warrior
The Tribune thinks Saturday, mas
sacre was the result OF a terrible and
atsl blunder Bv series OF Il ese
blunders the MOdocs have been brought
to believe 10 their capac..v to Withstand
and defeat the soldiers o. the regular
army in greatly superior numbers
From this last fatal success II will not
be easy to predict how many Indian
bands will spring up.
The Times SAYS tue whole country IL
beginning to tire OF this miserable busl-
ness. The last episode shows more
fully the impoteDcy o. the goverement
in dealing with the Indians. /; is
certain that for the troops 10 penetrate
the lava beds means their extermlns'ion
instead Of that OF the Indians. 1t re
commends that tue Modocs be fought
IN their own way, by trained Indian
fighters.
