iTrom our Eiira of Thut.iay ia''l CAPTAIN JACK IN CHANCERY.

OuE IVpF tOulltlg At "NN' den, can now safely go to Long Branch, or any other branch, and Colfax the Second must hurry up "prescn,s for Jack and his band. Hanging Indians for murder IS no part of our criminal code, and we do not ex pect to hear of any punishment being iniilct- ed upon Jack and his followers. Nevertheless 1t may be well enough to " Praise God from whom all blessings fow,' and General Jeii. C. Davis, for his overthrow of the King oi the Lava Beds.
 And now for the particulars of this greft | historical event A despatch dated Yreka, | Cal, June lst, after stating that all the Mo- | docs, save Captain Jack and three warriors had surrendered. goes as follows:
 Bogus Charley, Shacknasty Jim, Hcoks Jim and other Modocs led the cavalry and Warm Spring Indians to Captain Jacks last retreat on Willow creek, narrow and pre- ciptous canon. Captains Jackson and Has brouck marched in different directions to the attack, intending to unite their forces. Jack son had the toughest and longest road and could not reach the place in time. The Mo docs were completely surprised, fired four l rifle shots and ran. All but Boston Charley, who murdered Mir Thomas, surrendered and helped the troops in pursuit Of the rest oi the band. Scar Face Charley and others also surrendered. When night came, Capt. Jack | held position high upon the lava bluff Dr. 1 Cabaniss, of Yreka, went to his camp. Jack agreed to surrender, but, during the night, while Cabaniss was sleeping in the camp with him, he slipped away with three war | riors. and could not be found. Old John | Schonchin is one of the number who surrcn- dercd The troops sustained no loss. The operations took place on the border of Lan- gell's Valley"
 1 Following this comes Q despatch dated San Francisco June 2d, which reads as folows
 "A dispatch received this afternoon says that Captain Jack and the remainder of his band of Modocs, were captured in LangelI s valley, yesterday afternoon, by Perry's com mand of Warm Spring Indian scouts. Jack and the rest were marched into camp, and all are now safe under guard, and tue famous Modoc war is ended"
 Another despatch, dated San Francisco, June 4th, has the following;
 "A despatch from Boyle's Camp to-day says that Captain Jack and Schoncbin are
 roned together and placed in a small build
 ing near Appegate'S house, under strong guard. Scar Faced Charley protested against the indgnity, but got no satisfaction. The cord of General Canby's hat was found in Captain Jacks satcheL"
 This is, indeed, 'tidings of importance T But, in the name of all that is holy, wha, fate has befallen Boston Charlie" the Wendell Phillips of the red race. If his If,
 has been spared he will. no doubt, become the Hub of the Peace Commission wagon As to Captain Jack, he can, if he chooses, b. elected U. s Senator from Massachusetts. Then the remaining Modocs will, no doubt
 be installed as professors of treacbery anc , tbieviug in General o. o. Towards institute at Washington.
 We can now celebrate next Fourth of July
 by growing over two great victories-th, whipping of Johnny Bull and Johny Modoc This IS good, but there is another Johnny Johnny Apache-who still kicks against tb, bricks, and will not behave himself, so W, call upon our good Government to send bacl the soldiers of whom it ha. stripped us, so al to enable Gen. Crook to whip the red devil who have recently murdered Lieut.. Almy robbed the settlers of the San Pedro of thei stock, attempted to murder the sheriff of tbi county, and have, We fear, murdered Judg Charles T. Hayden, and other citizens of Sal River valley.
