learn, the only change made in pest-ofhce
regulations so far as postage is concerned,
was accomplished by the following clause
attached to the postal appropriation bill
Prorided, That all laws and parts of laws
permitting the transmission by mail of any
free matter whatever be, and the same are
hereby repealed from and after June 30,
1873.
This provision is an important one to
newspaper proprietors, who will be required
to pay postage on exchanges. Weekly
newspapers, too, which now go through the
mails free within the counties in which they
are printed, will lose that privilege. Sub
scribers on and after July LIST. next, will be
obliged to pay on weeklies five cents quar-
terly, no matter where the same are printed.
The postage on dailies also remains at 30
cents quarter.

Frank" bogus Charley" "Shack-Nasty
JIM" and other eminent and delicately-
christened savages, are among the surrender
ed warriors, and more are expected. 1t seems
that rupture took place between the Indians
who have surrendered and Capt. Jack, and the
latter, with about twenty warriors, is still en-
deavoring to escape. The pursuit will be Wig
orously kept up, however and sooner or later
all must be captured. Where Capt. Jack II,
or how large force he has, is not
exactly certain, but il il believed he
is hurrying toward the Pitt River III
dians. This surrender leaves him very weak,
but. ut the same time, frees him from the care
of fifty helpless squsws and children. Inc
Pitt River Indians, with whom 1t Is now De-
yond doubt he has of late been in constant
communication, are very powerful tribe ana
we're lately stated to number 1000 armed war

ing several persons. As far as learned, three
