Boyle's Camp, the last remaining
camp Of the Modoc expedition In the
vicinity of the late theater of war in
the lava bed, was broke up on the 18th
inst, and the troops there, together
with all the Modoc captives, baggage
and stores, we're marched to Fort Kla

The Modocs-men, women and chill
dren-were transported in seven wag-

wagon. In the front wagon we're Cap

the former robed in a red blanket with
a clean white handkerchief bound

with characteristic dignity. There were
two bands of Modocs among the In

Cottonwood Modocs, including Bogus
Charley, Curly headed Jack, Steamboat
Frank, Shacknasty jim, Curly-headed

the warriors who deserted Captain Jact
and his warriors on account of wha
Jack calls their treason, and it was founi

P. S.-After reading the foregoing re-
port to one of our best citizens-and a
good Templar- l was surprised to hear
that there was no celebration Of any kind
in our city on the 4th. However, he said
it might do for the report of 4th OF July

be held py Fire Marshal McSpedon to-day.
The night Waterman WAS In the building several
times during the night on which the fire
would be likely to cause q fire until the
flames suddenly broke out. There was no stove
in the place. 1t was heated by steam, and
the engineer in charge says the heat was shut or
every evening at six O'Clock. For some time after
the danes burst out great fears were entertained
that the Tombs would be caught by the flames.
The prisoners were very much alarmed, and Cap
tain Kennedy OF the Sixth precinct, was obliged TO
double the force OF police at the lire, in case
any accident should take place. The wind being
HIGH sparks were carried on the roof and into the
yard OF the building. and the heat was so intense
that 1t was felt in every part OF the prison fronting
on Franklin street. Oncer HawKy, OF the Fire Mar
shal's office, made preliminary examination OF
the premises yesterday, and notified all the
persons employed about the place to appear before
the Marshal this morning.

THE CELTIC SOCIETIES.

Meeting Last Night ut Hfbernfa Hail.
The Grand Marshal TO be Appointed
ON Friday. February 20. Yf.
The Irish societies held meeting at Hibernia
Hall, No. AZ Prince street, last night-Mr. Kerrgan
in the chair. Much time was consumed in reading
the credentials Of new societies, and nothing Of i'm
portance was done except resolving that the Grand
Marshal and two aides-de-camp be appointed on
the last Friday in February. The broaching Of this
proposition, which Is an innovation on old usages,
called forth much eloquent Indignation on the
part Of the Bourbons, who declared that they
would not see the constitution trampled under
foot and stand idly by. Mr. McArdle, whom
one OF the members accused OF talking
against time, made Johnson-uke speech on
supremacy OF the constitution which ended ia
stirring appeal to the patriotic sentiments OF all
present. The motion, and not eloQuence, pre-
vailed. Another motion was made that commit
tee be appointed to mark out the line Of march and
report at the next meeting, but as Mr. McArdle
proved the proposition unconstitutional 10 did not
prevail.
At haifpast nine the meeting adjourned to meet
again at the same place on Friday next at eight
O'Clock r. NJ.
