r. II 10 sorry piece Of news that
comes from the Modoc war on the Cali
fornia frontier Of Southern Oregon. Four
hundred troops attacked the entrenched
Indians. and after fighting all day long
were defeated and driven back with a
heavy loss. The dispatches epdeavor to
soften the announcement, but tits evident
that the result was nothing less than q re-
pulse. The plan Of attack miscarriea.
and the battle must now be fought over
sgain. The upshot of the matter is all
the worst because the soldiers outnumber.
ed the hostile Indians two to one.

STREET FIGHT.-Thursday morning fight

STREET FIGHT.-Thursday morning a fight
occurred, in front OF Brydon's drug store,
between Major W. T. Sutherlin and James
NJ. Whittle, Esq, growing out of some re-
Elections made upon the former by the latter
in speech at the bar.
The parties were brought before Magis-
trate Henry Wooding, and tried at o'clock
in the evening. 1t was proved that Major
Sutherlin struck the first blow. hfr. White
drew his pocket-knite and commenced cut
ting. The parties were then separated.
Major Sutherlin drew his pistol, remarking,
"he bas drawn knife on me-" and en-
deavored to get to his antagonist; but both
parties were in the hands of friends, who
kept them apart.
Mr.. Whittle was apparently uninjured.
Major Sutherlin's coat was cut III four
places, but his flesh was only reached in two
places. In one the skin was barely cut, and
in the other the knife penetrated about
three-quarters of an inch into the flesh on
his shoulder.
The sentence of the. court was that Ma
jor Sutherlin be fined $40 for the corpora
tion aud S5 for the State, and give bond in
the sum of $500 to keep the peace for six
months. Mr.. Whittle was fined $40 for the
corporation and s. for the State, and bound
over in the sum of $1,0O0.-DanUille Times.

vile Times of Saturday. Jon the 18th day
of August next the people of Franklin
county vote upon the proposition to SUBJ
scribe two hundred thousand dollars to the
Rocky Mount Narrow-Gauge Railroad Com
pany. On Tuesday next the Council of
Danville will submit the question to the peo-
Pile of Danville of a subscription of hun
dred thousand dollars to the Danyille and
Franklin Railroad Company. Not shade
of doubt rests upon our mind of the re-
suit. This scheme is the most popular one
of the kind which was ever laid before our
people. Already the sum Of ten thousand
dollars has been taken in stock by the pri-
vate citizens of Danyille. We assure our
friends in Franklin that they will not lack
for backing from this end of the line. And
the Richmond and DanviIle Railroad Com
pany stands ready to indorse the bonds of
The corporation as soon as they are issued.
/ ct the friends of this scheme be of good
fteer, for the prospect is good if they will
nrk. Men are leading in this matter who
