War with the MedOcs.

SAN FRANCISCO, California, Jan. 20.
"A dispatch from Yreka to day, states
that messenger had just arrived at
that place from the headquarters Of
General Wheaton, commanding the
| troops in action against the Medoc
Indians. A severe battle was fought
last Friday. The troops under the
command of Gen Wheaton are $50
regulars, two companies of Oregon
volunteers, 25 California rifemen,
commanded by Captain Fairclild, and
a few klamath Indians - altogether
400 men.
The battle took place near the east
ern shore of Tule Lake. On Thursday
Capt Bernard went around to the north
end of the lake, to the east side and to
the east of Capt. jacks position He
was to advance against Capt. Jack
from the east, and General Wheaton
from the Northwest, the forces of the
latter to be under cover of the fire of
the howitzers. Thursday night such
dense fog enveloped the country that
they could not see 40 yards. Tho two
forces were about twelve miles apart,
and to communicate with each other it
was necessary to 60 a much greater
distance On Friday morning Captain
Bernard opened battle against Captain
Jack, who had about two hundred
warriors concealed among the rocks,
along line two miles in length. Cen
eral Wheaton heard the firing, and
had no alternative but to move to the
aid of Capt. Bernard. Without the
fire of the howitzers, the troops fought
their unseen foe from 8 A NJ. till dark,
under a terrific fire, during which
scarcely au Indian was seen. The
troops were finally obliged to retreat to
camp.
The loss to the troops were forty
killed and wounded. The loss of the
Medocs is unknown Captain Bernard
forces bore the brunt of the battle and
suffered terribly. All the calvary
fought on foot. Among the killed are
Frank Trimble aud J. R. Brown, Orc
gon. G. W. Roberts was MORALLY
wounded. Capt. Perry, of the regu
lars, is seriously wounded, and Capt
Kyly slightly.
The movement is called forced
reconnaissance of Captains jacks posi-
ton. The leaders say it will take one
thousand men to dislodge him from the
Lava Lieds. The troops for the pres
ent will only try to prevent the Modocs
from raiding on the settlements, aud
will wait for reinforcements.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 20.-Captain
Price, commanding Company E. fifth
cavalry, returned to Prescott, Arizona,
from fifteen days scout near the
the mouth of Black Canyon. He had
a hand-to- hand fight with the A paches
and killed five. Three escaped near
the head of Black Canyon. He had
another fight and killed thirty six
Apaches, Tonic warriors. Since las,
report, the troops are operating from
Camp Verde, and have killed Thirteen
| warriors.
| SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 23.-The lat
est intelligence from the seat OF the
Modoc war is to the effect that Capt
Jack is evidently contemplating raic
on the settlements at Cattle Greek
within forty miles of Yr ka. In the re
cent Indian fight the Indians captur.
ed seven guns end cons derablt

slavery meeting was held in Roya
Theatre in Madrid, Spain, Thursday
under the auspices of the Abolition So
ciety, the Tertullia and Progressist
clubs. The theatre was crowded. The
committee of the Cortes on the abolition
of slavery in Porto Rico estimate that
the indemnity to be paid by the state to
slave owners in that island will amount
to 100, 100000 reals.
At public meeting in Birming ham,
England, on "Wednesday, resolutions
were passed condemning the slave trade
in Africa. Polynesia and Cuba. A
resolution was also adopted urging Her

SENATOR HOWE.

The Legislature of Wisconsin on
Tuesday the 2lst inst, proceeded:to the
election of United States Senator to
succeed Hon. I. o Howe, whose term
expires on the 4th of March next. The
caucus usual in such cases was dis
pensed with, leaving every member OF
the Republican party perfectly 'ree 70
vote for the man Of his choice. W IT'D
a unanimity rarely seen on such occa-
siops Timothy o. Howe was chosen 10
he his own successor in the Senate OF
the limited States for the next six years.
Every Republican in both houses
was present, and the united Repubil-
can vote was cast for him. Ii demo-
Gratis and liberals voted for Hon. II.
L. Palmer, of Milwaukee, with the
execution of MIR. Palmer, who being a
Member of Assembly voted for Ron.
C. A. Eldredse.
The state has done itself great honor
in again returning Hon. T. O Howe to
the Senate. He is among the ablest
and best of the public men of the ma
ton and what the country needs is
more like him in high official places.
The people of the state have no fears
that he will ever betray the great con-
fdence they have reposed in him, but
from the past they have every reason
to expect that he will continue to faith
fully serve them in the future.

The BANKRUPT LAw.-Last week
while bill amendatory Of the bank
rupt lsw was pending In the House Of
Representatives, Hon. G. w. Hazelton,
Member of Congress from this district
moved as substitute that the bank
rupt act be repealed altogether. The
proposition was carried by a vote of
I29 to 80. A bill to repeal the bank
rupt law has been reported to the Sep-
ate BY the Judiciary Committee, but is
not yet acted upon. We believe it is
generally conceded that the workings
of the present bankrupt Law has disap-
pointed the best friends of the measure
In majority of cases it has been used
for dishonest purposes, and at the same
time afordiDg but little relief to hon.
orable and conscientious debtors.

What "Credit MObilier' Means.

A correspondent asks the meaning of
the words Credit Mobilier. Several
congressman have asked the same ques
tion We presume he wishes to be
informed concerning the original deri
walton and use of the term. We will
endeavor to explain it, The Credit
Foncier" has long been the general title
in France for associations that advance
money on landed or imnl0Uable securit-
ies.-The Credit Mobilier" was the
name given to powerful corporation,
organized in France in 1852. for ad-
vancing money on n1oeabte property.
The name was adopted evidently with
the purpose Of affordIng ready defni-
ton of the object of the association
The "Societe Generate de Credit Mobll
Ter" because great and profitable enter
prise. 1t had special privileges under
its charter. It assisted materially in
the construction of railways and the
promotion of mining schemes. Among
other enterprises in which it was nota-
bly, interested were the government
loan on account of the Russian war
the Grand Central Railway Company,
and the General Omnibus Company of
Paris At one time it advanced 250,-
900 900 francs and at another time 49,
100000 francs, to the French govern
ment. Its business was so great in l845
that it declared dividend of 10 per cent
on its capital. While it was manifesty
the means of doing much good in
France, it eventually failed.
The introduction of the terms Cred
it Foncier" and Credit Mobilier" into
America are due to Mr.. George Francis
Train.-He established "Credit Fonc-
Ter" with ON h. lands, which he
hawked about the country some years
ago. He gave the name Of "Credit
| Mobilier of America" to corporation
with universal privileges, which was
organized in Pennsylvania. 1t was
appropriated by Messrs. Cakes Ames,
| Durant 4 Co., to serve as the party of
the third part 10 the famous ''tripIicate
agreement" by which the managers of
the Union Pacific railroad let out the
contract for building the road to them
selves, in payment for which they mod
estly took the road itself, all the Unit
ed States bonds, all the first mortgage
bonds, all the United States lands, etc.
at profit of over l 600 per cent, on
an entirely fictitious capital. This is
what Credit Mobilier" means, in ths
modern American and cengressiona
use of the word. The title is not inap,
propriate. The transaction was literal
| ly credit on movables, The United
States government furnishing the cred
it and the money, aud Messrs. Oake
Ames u Co., taking the movabies, -
that is, the securities and the profits
