THE Modoc war seems to be 10
child's play. Another massacre has
followed the POI ular doctrine of
determination. The details of this
recent butchery, are not compii-
rnentary to Gen. Gillem. 1t will
hc of little avail for him to plead
the impatienco of the American
people. 4 military man has no
right to be driven by clamor. The
surprise of an army, means a militia
ry blunder, and a military blunder
is a crime. The nature Of the foe
was well known, and our army has
paid the penalty. which was due
to their incompetent leaders, 1t is
now evident that nothing less than
a military campaign, costly, patient
and persistent, can emu tins ModOc
war. 1t is cruel to order our sol
diers into those inaccessible retreats
which the red Modoc has chosen for
his final resistance, and the govern
mcnt has no right TO sacrifice the
lives of its soldiers, in order to has
ten and cheaper its inevitable tri-
umph.
