The Capture Of Capt. Jack.

The story of the capture of Jack, the
Modoc chief, is told as follows by an
army correspondent A series of pro-
longed yells and cheers aroused the
camp from pleasant siesta. Generals
Davis and Wheaton and the other
officers and all the men rushed from the
house and tents to find the cause of the
uproar, and at once the whole camp was
in commotion. Down the level plain
north of the house was a grand caval-
cade of mounted horsemen. The steeds
rushed forward ut once at furious
rate, and soon neared the groups of
spectators scattered about the premises.
Captain Jack is captured" shouted a
sturdy sergeant. Again the valley
echoed with cheers and yells. The
mounted command was that of Perry.
He had returned from scout of twenty
three hours, three miles above the
mouth of Willow Greek. At half-past
ten o'clock in the morning the Warm
Spring scouts struck trail, and after a
brief search the Modocs were discover
ed. Colonel Perry surrounded the In
dian retreat. His men We're bound to
fight. Suddenly Modoc shot out from
the rocks with white flag. He met a
Warm Spring Indian, and said Captain
Jack wanted to surrender Three scouts
were sent to meet Captain Jack. He
came out cautiously, glanced about him
moment, and then, as if giving up all
hopes, came forward, and held ont his
hand TO his visitors. Then two of his
warriors, five squaws, and. seven chill
rem, darted forth and joined him in the
surrender. The command that made
this famous scout was the first squadron
of the First Cavalry. Captain Jack is
about forty years old. He is five feet
eight inches high and compactly built.
He has a large and well-formed face.
full of individuality. Although dressed
in old clothes, he looks every inch
chief. He does not speak to any one.
The Modocs are grouped in the field
near the house, and surrounded by a
guard. Spectators peer into Captain
Jacks face with eager interest, but he
needs them not. He is still as statue.

No Union Of the Churches.

A number of private letters which
have been received at Baltimore from
leading members of the Southern Pres
byterian Assembly lately in session at
Little Rock, indicates that the Southern
Assembly was almost unanimously
averse to a union with the Northern
Church. They received the overtures
of the Northern Assembly with coldness,
and, while they considered the subject
of union with some other body, their
general impression was toward a con-
solidation with the Dutch Reformed
Church. Some of the leading men were
inclined to accept the overtures of the
Northern Assembly, but they we're so
overruled that they were obliged to
abandon their own ideas in favor of re-
union.

HAWAIIAN 1sLANDs.-A dispatch from

Department relative to the condition of
affairs in the Sandwich Islands, expresses
the opinion that danger exists Of encroach-
ments by foreign powers in Hawaiian ter
ritory, which would be prejudicial to our
best interests. The danger lies in the ap-
proaching bankruptcy of the present
Government and consequent necessity for
foreign loan, through the influence of
which our supremacy may be threatened
unless assistance is granted by our people
or our Government. 1t is probable that
our Government will take immediate
steps to firm y secure our interests in the
Sandwich Islands, and use the necessary
measures to foster kindly feeling among
the people OF those islands. 1t is abso-
lutely necessary to the building up and
maintaining of our Pacific trade that the
American influence should predominant
