End of the MOdoc War.
CAPTURE OF CAPT. JACK.

The Modoc rebellion is apparently at
an end, by the surrender of most of the
band and final capture of Capt. Jack
himself After the surrender of most of
the band, Capt Jack and three others
made their escape, but were surrounded
and captured next day. A dispatch
from the Modoc country of May 81 via
San Francisco, June 2, says that after a
thorough examination of the Modoc
captives gathered in during the present
scout under Colonel Green, it has been
ascertained that the last haul Melted "a
men, women and children, thirteen of
them being able-bodied warriors 16 ri
files of various patterns, 113 cartridges
and several lean and hungry ponies.
BOSTON CHARLEY AND SCH oNCHIN
Are anxious about the disposition to be
made of them. The former murdered
DR.. Thomas, and the latter mutilated
Meacham. Boston Charlie and Schon-
chin look like desperadoes each carries
his character in his face. Boston Charlie
is about % years of age and Schonchin
30. The boldest warrior of the band is
Scar-faced Charlie.
CAPTAIN JACK SAD AND GLOOMY.
DIR. Cabaness of Yreka, the contract
surgeon, who slept in their retreat last
night, says of Captain Jack that he pre-.
scented most woe-begone appearance.
The willy warrior sat upon rock in the
centre of little lava bed few yards
hack from the crest of bluff. and
seemed as lonely as his surroundings.
He was wrapped in faded army blank
ct, and his head was buried in his hands.
His sister Mary, captured at Willow
Creek day before yesterday, talked to
him with tears in her eyes, and asked
that he enter our camp. He was sullen
and had little to say. He did promise
that he would surrender to-day. In the
night he stole away. The Modocs say
that Captain Jack is insane. There is
much method in his madness. At pres
ent he is thought to be in this neighbor-
hood with from three to FIVE warriors.
LATER-sURRENDER OF CAPT. JACK.
A dispatch Of June / dated at Clear
Lake, and June at San Francisco, says:
A series of prolonged yells and cheers
aroused this camp from pleasant siesta
half an hour after the departure of my
last courier. Generals Davis and Whea-
ton and the other officers and all the
men rushed from the house and tents to
find the cause of the uproar, and at once
the whole camp was in commotion.
Down the level plain north of the house
was grand cavalcade of mounted
horsemen. The steeds rushed forward
at once at furious rate, and soon neared
the groups of spectators scattered about
the premises.
Captain Jack is captured" shouted
sturdy sergeant. Again the valley
echoed with cheers and yells. The
mounted command was that of Perry.
He had returned from scout Of %
hours, three miles above the mouth of
Willow creek.
At half-past ten o'clock this morning
the Warm Spring scouts struck a trail,
and after brief search the Modoca
were discovered. Col. Perry surrounded
the Indian retreat. His men were bound
to fight. Suddenly Modoc shot out
from the rocks with white flag. He
met a Warm Spring, and said Captain
Jack wanted to surrender. Three scout.

moment, and then, as if giving up al
hopes, came forward and held out hi
