TIE MoDoCs.-Later dispatches from the
Lava Beds indicate that the Modocs have occu-
pied strong position several miles sout beast of
the Beds, anl they have ammunition, WA ter and
pasturage. Seventeen Modocs are known to
have been killed in the late fight. On our side
SIX soldiers and one civilian were killed. The
Modocs, in small parties, have made several at.
tacks on train gong to the camp. There are
symptoms of hostility among the klamath Riv
er Indians, who number 10 or 20 warriors.
The War Department has received no de-
spatchs from General Schofield, aud expects
none ''until there shall be some result" from
the present NOV event against the Modocs.

Indian Items.

We learn that since Sunday, the 27th ult., more than 200 Indians have left the Date Creek reservation. The removal of all the h. dians from Date Creek to the Verde reserva- tion, had been determined on, and many of them refused to go. Their removal was to commence May 1st, and Jemaspie and his band skedaddled. It is conjectured that they may have gone to the Colorado reservation, where some of them have had a residence be- fore. Some of these high-toned Apache-Mo' hayes say they will fight before the will go to the Verde. Let them sail in; the quicker they make fight the sooner we shall get rid Of the wretches, and it makes no difference where they start from. Some of them are sure to break out from any reservation they may go to, sooner or later.
 Just as we go to press, an officer from Fort Whipple informs us that the Indians, 10 the number of 400 10 450, started quietly on Thursday for the Verde reservation. Lieut.. Schuyler, with n detachment of 25 men, is cs- eorting the party. Some of Jemaspies band had returned and are with the party. Abou, 100 are supposed to be in the mountains, and as Capt. MeGregor is in that section with hi, comaany, the Indians will bc likely to set trouble unless they keep quiet.

No VACANCY CREATED.-The lamentcd death of General Canby has already induced speculation as to who will be his successor. There will be no one appointed, as there are still six Brigadier-G Generals left, and no promo tions to that rank will be made until the num- Der falls below six. Sections and ofthe Act of July, 1870, provides that no appointment to the grade of Major General and Brigadier- General shall be made until the number of the former shall be reduced below three, and of the latter below six. The deaths of Gen erals Halleck and Meade, reduced the number of Major-Generals to two, and Brigadier- General Mcdowell was appointed to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Meade. Tine death of General Canby does not create ava cancy. the number of Brigader- Generals still being six.-( Exchange.
