THE MODOC WAR.

San Francisco, l2. Advices from Gen.
Davis camp represent that only three or four
Modocs remain at large. The Pitt river In
dians delivered eleven Modoc refugees 10
Gen. Davis on Saturday last.
The following despatch has been received; :;
A court martial convened at B0yles camp,
at Tule lake, June 9th, and 4ied six desert
ers. A decision will he rendered in few
days.
Gen. Davis, in conversation with special
reporter of the Bulle tin, the lth inst, gave
the following statement:
"When arrived on the field and found the
troops engaged in war with a band Of Indian
outlaws and murderers, wards of the govern
ment, who had revoted against its authority.
They were fighting mercilessly, neither Civ
ing nor expecting quarter. l then thought
that captives taken in the future should be
executed on the spot, as the surest and sperd-
lest me thod of settling the Modoc problem,
when captured fighting against the military
forces of the L. S., and rs a separate nation,
and tribe, was disposed to deal with them
accordingly. Since their capture in have as
certained that the authorities of Jackson Co.,
Oregon, have tound indictments against GER
tain members of the band. did not deem
it proper to turn them over to the civil court
because they were at war against the govern
ment at the time the murders upon which tht
indictments were bases were committed, fo
the reason that after their capture they wer,
prisoners Of the government and not directly
amemdable to civil laws. During my com

ALFRED.
Trial OF Wagner.

Trial Of Wagner.
Alfred, II. The court convened at $50
o'clock this morning. The examination OF
tho government witnesses were continued.
Boston officers testified to the suspicious cir
cumstances attending Wagner's arrest. A
North street boarding mistress and her assist
ant testify to his haggard appearance and con-
Trajectory stories upon his arrival in Boston
after the murder. Seven witnesses for the
prosecution yet remain to be heard. Their
testimony will probably be heard during the
afternoon session and the defence commence
tomorrow. Prof. j. F. Babcock, the cele-
brated expert, who testified sn the Alley case
arrived last night, and will be brought for
ward by the counsel for the defence.
Second Despatch.
A large number of witnesses for the pros
ecution have been examined to-day. Levi
Manson says he saw Wagner use peculiar r
dark red pencil, with teeth marks at end, a
few days before the murder. Emil Inger-
bretson found pencil in Hontyet's entry the
day after the murder, which Manson swears
is the identical one. Randall, Portsmouth
fisherman, visited Wagner in his cell at
Portsmouth. Told him he had seen the
murdered women, and asked Wagner how he
felt. He said he felt as bad as though he did
it himself, and began to cry. Assistant mar
shall of Portsmouth found white shirt
stained with blood in vault at Wagner's
boarding house, which was sent to DR.. Hor-
ace Chase of Boston, who made careful ex-
animation of the blood thereon. He testifies
that the blood is part human and part fishes.
DR.. Chase's statements were elaborate and
consumed over two hours. Wagner still
maintains his composure, and while being
conveyed from the court house to the Jail
INDUCES in facetious remarks to acquaintan-
ces. Court adjourned until to- morrow morn
ing, at Q 80.

The annual meeting Of the Kennebec Con-
| ference was held at Hallowell commencing
on Tuesday the 10th inst The pastors were
| all present together with good representa-
! tion of laymen and ladies'. Rev. II. r. Hard
| ing was chosen to be Moderator. The usual
| which came a discussion upon the question,
| 'How is Christian Fellowship to be increased
| among the members of the individual church
esq" Rev. J. Cameron, Rev. j. II. Ecob,
Hon. Joshua Nye and others made remarks
upon the topic.
At the evening session after half hour de-
voted to service of sacred song, an essay
upon "Womans Christian Work" was read
by Mrs. f. e. Cameron of Waterville. This
novel feature in the Conference excited pe-
culiar interest and received hearty commen-
| dation. The essay was finished production,
| exhibiting careful thought, expressed with a
point and vgor that impressed every listener.
The writer argued strongly in favor of the
equality of woman and her right to do any
good work which she was fitted to perform
The examples of the eminent women of the
Bible were adduced with apt comment and
| the texts, supposed to impose silence upon fe-
males in religious assemblies, received inter-
pretations in accordance with the sentiment,
| that women have the same duty and privilege
as men, in the Christian church.
A lively discussion followed the reading of
the essay the universal sentiment being in IA
vor of the participation by women in the So
cial meetings of Christians, while some, even
of the older and most cautious members of the
Conference inclined to the opinion in view of
the many vacant pulpits in small places, fe-
males would have to become ordained preach
ers. Others dissented from this idea. Among
those who participated in the discussion were
Rev. j. Dinsmore, Rev. Mr.. Peckham, Rev.
T. Adams, Rev. C. G. McCully, Rev. j. II.
Ecob, Rev. j. Cameron, together with Messrs.
Geo. Hawes, S. Page and others.
On Wednesday morning notwithstanding
| the rain, q good audience assembled. After
| devotional services the question "What can
| be done TOR the multitude who do not attend
church," was discussed, Rev. w. c. Curtis
| and Hon. Joshua Nye being the speakers ap-
pointed to open the topic. Rev. Mr.. Jaques
of the Methodist church offered remarks by
invitation, also Rev. Mr.. Tilton Of the Bap-
| tst church, Of Augusta. THE Importance
and the means of promoting more thorough
knowledge of the Bible among the people,"
was the next topic, Rev. A. L. Park and
Deacon Metcalf opening the topic.
In the afternoon sermon was preached by
Rev. j. II. Ecob from Johns Gospel is.
Subject "Christ the last and highest revela-
ton of God to man. The Lords Supper
was celebrated, and the conference then ad-
journed to meet at Boston on the 2Sth of DC.
