THE RAILRoAD.-The indications are that
the Metropolitan Branch Railroad will soon be
completed Al the depot, our townsman, Mr.
Isaac r Maus, is having a large warehouse
erected, suitable for n commission business.
and, we learn, that the company will, next
week, commence the erection of n freight de-
pot for their own use. This looks like bust
'ess-and we may safely calculate that in few
days, weeks at most the road will be in run
ming order and the rolling stock put on. We
say these are the Indications and we hope the
expectations of all may be fully realized With
this great aid to our farming population in the
transportation of their products to market,
there is every induccment for them to enlarge
the sphere of their operations by increasing
the culture of the cereals or by embarkirg in
new industries. With a market at their door
and cheap and slpid transit 10 market, our
farmers may well feictate themselves upon
the near approach of the day when they will
be relieved from the burden of conveying their
products over muddy roads at the slow pace
of two or three miles an hour, thus taking two
10y w "N~S"'P'''h " nav WI sun Wy w uoHe
in one hour. Here is a point gained of great
advantage to the farmer, besides the opportu-
nifty afforded OF taking advantage Of any sud
den rise in the market. Let us hope then that
the day for slow coaches' will soon have
passed, and we he put within an hours time
of the Capitol of the Nation, when we can call
and pay our respects to the President, take a
peep in at the doings of Congress, visit our
poor relations, and then return on Mr. Gar
rett's line.

The MASSACRE BY THE Mopocs. massa-
ere Of the Peace Conmissioners-an account
of which is published in this pNper-by the
Modoc indians, has sent q thrill of horror
throughout the country. That it will be fol-
lowed by swift vengeance is certain. But the
immolation Of the whole tribe could not atone
for the loss Of such men as Gen. Candy, DR..
Thomas, and probably Mr. Meacham, who was
seriously, If not fatally wounded. These men
had taken "tl1er lives in their hand" and
gone TO tlat distant regon-the hrthest verge
of 0regon-for the purpose of reconciling these
red men TO what must be their inevitable lot,
a submission 10 the laws OF civilization. 1t
was Christian mission, but one lily received
by savage men, for though pretending friend
ship and desire for peace, they nevertheless
intended resistance and murder as the sequel
proves. Murders had previously been COM
mitted and indictments found against the In
dian murderers by the grand jury. In case Of
their surrender Secretary Dcauo had given
instructions that they should not be sarren-
dered to the State authorities, an action which
the people of Oregon did not approve, believ-
ing it was carrying the measures of the peace
policy too far. The Indians, under their lead
er, Captain Jack, had retreated to their fast
nesses among the lava beds at Tule Lake, from
which il seemed difficult to disiodge them and
1t was near this point that the negotiations
which terminated SO dslstrously were carried
on. That short work will now be made there
Can be no question.

ROMANTIC STORY A correspondent Of the
New York Herald writing from Halifax in
reference TO the the Atlantic disaster says -
One of the romantic incidents Of the terrible
calamity has been the discovery that one Of
the men, common sailor, and one whose life
was sacrificed 10 efforts to save Others was
young woman Of about twenty or twenty-five
years of age. Her sex was not known until
the body was washed ashore, and the rude
clothing removed preparatory for burial. She
had served rs a common sailor for three voy-
ages, and was a favorie shipmate with all.
She is described rs having fewer of the vices
incident TO n sailors life than is usual, but
she was, nevertheless as jolly an old tar as
any oflhem. One of the survivors Of the crew
in speaking Of her remarked a. didn't know
Billy was woman He used to take his IL
quor as regular rs any Of us, and was always
begging and stealing tobacco. He was good
fellow though and am sorry he was wo-
man" The most singular part Of the whole
story is that the woman was an american, and
was about the only one Of that nationality be-
longing TO the crew. Who she was and where
she was from, and her motive for leading
such IL strange life Of hardship, never was and
never will be fully known"
