against the Modocs: "Your dispatch ANNOUNCE
ing the terrible loss to the country Of Gen.
Candy by the perfdy Of the Modoc band Of
Indians has been shown to the President, who
authorizes me to instruct you to make the at
tack so strong and persistent that their fate
may be commensurate with their crime. You
will be fully justified in their utter exterm-
nation" The President has issued an order

Of them. He says that the cry of ION to the
lava beds" reminds him Of the cry OF :" On to
Richmond raised at the beginning of the
late civil war. The lava beds are almost i'm

down by the savages lurking in the caves and
