and Commissioner Thomas has caused a
gloom over the entire community and great
excitement.
An intense feeling exists that the Modocs
should now receive the punishment they
richly deserve, and that not one should be
left for this terrible massacre.
H. G. Ticknor, who brought the official
dispatches, left headquarters at five P. M.
yesterday. He said that orders had just
been issued for an advance along the whole
line at five A. M. to day. The plan was
to advance slowly, taking everything as
they went, having water and provisions
along with them. In this case it may be
two days before the trouble is ended.
|. 1t is presumed that the remains of Gen
eral Candy and Commissioner Thomas
will be forwarded to this place, and they
should arrive tomorrow some time.
Another courier would leave the head
quarters of the military camp this evening,
and would arrive here early tomorrow
These are all the particulars of the tragedy
in addition to the despatch sent this after
noon.
A courier left here at nine o'clock to-
night for General Gillem's headquarters,
with dispatches from General Schofeld.
By many it is believed that the Modocs
are utterly desperate, will fight till their
last man falls, and that they will not leave
the caves in the lava beds. By others it is
believed that they have already made their
escape, and will begin a relentless war
upon all the weak parties of whites they
encounter
1t is supposed that 'Scar-faced Charley
and "Curley head Doctor were with the
Indians who attacked Colonel Mason's po-
sition, and that this attack was a blind to
attract the attention of General Gillem
from the conference between Captain Jack
and his men and the Peace Commissioners
MORE MURDERS BY INDIANS.
SAN FRANCISCO, AprI 12.-On the 18th
of March Gus Swain, John Mcdonald, and
George Taylor, were murdered by a large
band of Apaches. The savages were pur-
sued by the troops and overtaken, and
during the conflict that followed seventy
nine warriors were killed and twenty-six
women and children taken prisoners. The
troops were under the command of Lieu
tenant Rice, who is now at Fort Whipple
They followed the trail of the Apaches and
learned that Taylor had been captured and
subjected to the most horrible tortures.
Captain Randall reports having had an
engagement with the Apaches, in which
forty-seven warriors were killed and seven
women captured.
WASHINGTON, April 13.-The terrible
news of the treacherous assassination of
BrigadierG Candy by the Modoc
chief, and the intelligence received at the
same time of murders committed by Apa-
ches, cause profound feeling of grief and
indignation, which finds expression in all
quarters, particularly in the army, where
General Candy was held in great esteem
and affection, with utterances of an earnest
desire for the determination of the savages.
This feeling of Indignation has taken the
place. of all ideas whatever of peace, and
the slightest consideration cannot be given
to any other proposition than that to move
at once to the severest punishment of the
Modocs.

LOufsiana-BlOody Outbreak.

A serious riot has broken out in Grant
Parish, Louisiana, on the upper waters of
the Red River. The instigators of the riot,
according to the statement published in
the New Orleans Picayrne, were two ne
groes, both members of Kellogg's Legisla-
ture, who, with d band of negroes, took
forcible possession of Colfax, the county
seat of Grant Parish, outsted the authori-
ties, drove all the white men from the
place, and broke into and plundered their
houses. Those colored men who did not
sympathize with the marauders were also
driven off. The house of Mr.. Hadnot was
entered by the ruffans, and the coffin, con-
tanning dead child, was taken away and
broken open, under the impression that
money was secreted in it. The body of
the child was left exposed on the road,
until it was replaced by other parties and
returned to the house. In the meantime it
appears that Mr.. Hadnot had made his es-
cape, and collecting band of twenty-five
men notified the negroes to send away their
women and children, as he intended to at
tack them. The later news brought to
New Orleans by the steamer Southwestern
furnishes the bloody sequel. The negores,
to the number of some four hundred,
thoroughly armed, entrenched themselves
in the court house and built breast-works
On Sunday Hadnot's force had been in
creased to a hundred and fifty men drawn
from the surrounding parishes. The
breastworks were stormed and taken after
two hours fighting, and the negroes then
took refuge in the courthouse, barricading
the doors. Fighting was then resumed,
but at later hour the negroes threw out
flag of truce, but fired on the besiegers
as they advanced, wounding several, and
among them Mr.. Hadnot mortally. Find
ing it impossible to dislodge the negroes
by force of arms, the courthouse was set
on fire, and as they came out from the
burning building they were shot down by
the Infatuated whites. 1t is estimated
that one hundred negroes were killed
The others, taking to flight, were holly
pursued. Such is the account which we
publish of this sanguinary affair. 1t is the
first fruits of the obstinate policy of Gen
eral Grant, in recognizing State govern
ment which the Senators who most stead
lastly support him, have declared to be
illegally onstituted.-BaH Gazette.

Thursday, April L 673.

tW-The County Commissioners met at
their office on Tuesday last for the pur-
pose of receiving the bonds of the Collec-
tors appointed by them some two weeks
since. The same gentlemen who for the
past year have so acceptab1y filed the po-
sitions as Collectors of Taxes were, with
out exception, retained, and were prompt
ly on hand Tuesday.
Among other matters which engaged the
attention of the Board was the petition of
many citizens, praying new public road
across Zachia Swamp to Cox's Station
We understand the petition was favorably
considered, and the work of laying of and
estimating the probable cost of the new
road has been referred to three Commits
sioners to act in conjunction with the
County Surveyor.
The Board also took action in reference
to taxing the Railroad property in this
county. Their determination to levy the
tax will, we are inclined to think, be re-
sisted by the Company and thus will be
inaugurated litigation on point which
we believe has never been construed di-
rectly by the courts. It is a question
which, we are informed, the Judiciary will
have to pass upon before anything willsbe
conceded by either party to the action
We last week published synopsis Of the
arguments of Mr.. Clarke on behalf of the
road, and of Mr.. Brent for the county.

case may be. 1t is desirable that the con-

and blood. Impoverished it is true) With
Dutch, Chinese, &C., we would have to re-
sort to signs. The contract should stipu-
late that they are to live with us, we will
say five years under penalty, zoe to pay
them, for an able=bodied man, SO per
month; his wife, as cook, SIS per month;
the daughters, as house servants, the same;
the sons, able to plough, also the same; to
be furnished an acre of land to cultivate as
they please; one dollar per month to be
deducted from each ones wages until the
expense of bringing them over is reim-
bursed; and all employed to be fed
Now this proposition, published in Eng
land by our agent on the spot, would be
seen and understood by them; but if pub
lished here, by our CLUB" the class we
desire will never know of it. If any one
else can suggest better proposition than
the one above, I would gladly and cheer
fully adopt it, for zee must do something, or
zoe are lost. Can we remain passive and
expect the Legislature to help US? That
body of men is controlled by Baltimore
and the upper counties, who care nothing
far us or our interests. | should hesitate
to trust the Legislature to select the two
agents, for there would be twenty appli-
cants, of swell-heads, expecting large sala-
ries and no work. No, my friends, and
gentlemen of the county, we must profit by
the advice given by Jupiter to the wag-
goner, PUT your shoulder to the wheel,
and help yourself" We ight unite with
the neighboring counties to employ the
two agents, if they will do so. If not, we
must face the music ourselves, as our
friends and neighbors in Virginia are do
ing
Last fall there were two thousand pau
per Italians landed in New York, and the
papers of that city complained bitterly of
it. The next thing we heard was that the
Virginians had them, and put them to
work. They are importing labor in every
way they can, chiefly by private compa-
MES. All the while we are playing Grip
Van Winkle.p The difference is this, ue
have about eight counties interested, they
the whole State. But why cannot our
eight counties unite and send an agent
there, with directions to use all the means
in his power to induce the class alluded to
above to come and settle with us on our
own terms? And let us build up labor
ing class of our own, who will become at
taehed to our soil by marriage and inter
marriage. It would be best to bring them
from port of England, where the climate
is the same as our own then there would
be no need for acclimation, which is apt
to cause dissatisfaction and desire to go
away. G..

To THE EDITOR Il was much gratifed
a short time since, in reading the Port To-
bacco Times, to see that some one besides
myself, lover the signature of ''R.'O had
been thinking on the subject of supplying
the county with labor I am, and have
for sometime been, surprised at the gene
raj apathy of our good people on the sub
ject, with, the stubborn fact staring them
in the face that our black population is
gradually leaving us for the cities of Bal
timore and Washington. Now that we
have railroad through the centre of our
county, their exodus will be more rapid
than ever, and none will be left to till the
land. Our fields will first grow up in
broomsedge and then in pine, and perhaps
hundred or more years hence surveyor
will be seen blazing track through the
pines, taking up, anew, our once populat-
ed fields.
Or" is generally correct in his views );
his production has the right ring; but
must beg leave to differ from him in one
or two items. The first is, that ''the heirs
of the landowners of the present genera
ton will be the laboring classes of the
next" am inclined to think that no
young man, who has spent the first TWEEN
ty-one years of his life seated in house
with book in his hand, will ever consent
to speed the plough or WELD the maui
and wedges but that he will leaUe the conn.,
ty, go elsewhere and try to live by his wits.
My next objection is as to labor coming
into our county, through the "clubs' he
speaks of, and of which heartily approve.
He proposes they should hold communica
ton with Europeans and inform them of
our being ready and willing to receive
them, and thinks they would flock to us.
I am fully persuaded that we had as well
attempt to stop wild goose, on its way
north, as to induce Europeans, coming to
America to reside, to stop in our county,
provided they have the means to pay their
aoay to the West. "Westward, ho!" is the
order of the day. Most Of them have
friends and relatives in the West who, /
think it more than probable, send them
the means with which to come over. But
there is in Europe class who are now
taxing bone and muscle to the utmost for
a bare living-if I may thus call it-who
would gladly come and settle among u.s. if
brought here free of expense. Now, it is
said that $50 will bring laboring man
from Liverpool to Baltimore, then we will
say that $40 will cover the whole expense
from England to this county. If we had
an agent in England-a plain business
man, not swell-head who would expect
a large salary and do nothing and another
in Baltimore, some one with other bust
ness to attend to, who would be willing to
become our agent at moderate price, the
above named clubs or Gny club of gentle
men or individuals, wanting labor, could
send the necessary amount to the agent in
Baltimore with minute directions as to the
kind of labor wanted, and he remit the
same to the agent in England; the latter
to make the fattering presentations there,
not here, where it would never reach the
desired spot. When he has procured the
