Personnel of Some of the War
riOrS.

a Acorrespondent of the New York
TINES, who accompanied the
expedition after the Modocs, gives
the following sketch of SINE OF
the captured warriors:
Bogus Charley is quite tall, and
for an Indian, is white and good
looking. Heis about twenty-tour
years old, and only that those who
ought to know say that he is pure
Indian, | should not hesitate to be-
lieye that Charley had a white man
for his father. The next most
important character was Steamboat
Frank, also young and tall, dark
and sinister looking, with SCARED
eye, and seeming not over self
possessed. He inquired Of Fairchild
on the way in, as to our laws and
the nature Of our punishment for
such ofenses us he had been COM
mitting. He showed considerable
sense in his questioning and finally
became satisfied that it was the best
thing he could do to conciliate Justice
by submission. The next character
III Importance was the Curly Head

naturally hideous, but who had
carefully added to natures lack the
detormity of black paint. daubed
on to make him more horrid than
a pagan idol, and when | saw him
| no longer doubted that some Of
these savageS could be guilty Of the
barbart.es committed ON the
wounded and the dead. Shack
Nasty Jim is another young man
OF moderate stature, and stout built.
He is said to be really the leading
man Of the crowd in action, but
Bogus is the best talker, and takes
the lead. He speaks English
tiuently and well Shack Nasty
Jim has been hard fighter. Hooker
Jim, also came in with this band.
He has been about as bad as al
Indian can be. He and the Curly
Headed Doctor murdered the set
tiers Oh Lost river, and he has been
one Of the worst of bad Indians.
He is young, big, stout built, and,
has as mean a cOuntenance as can
easily be put even on an Indian.
Curly Headed Jack is rather good
looking they tell me. He was
blacked up so that he wasn's
strikingly handsome to a strnger.
Jack has a broken arm, shot in
some battle of the war. George
aud Bill are two others of the real
warriors Of the Mcdocs. They are
both young men, and ether In
dians say Of Captain Jacks band,
and he has not six more as good
warriors left TO command. Donald
Mckay tells me that The Klamaths,
and other tribes who know, say
that this Hot Greek band are the
best fighting stock among the
Modocs. Most of the murders
have been committed by them.
They have made the most desperate
raids, but only Bogus Charley and
Hooker Jim were with the party

The Three Richest Men in Amer
lea

lea
the three richest men in America
are William B. Astor, \. T. Stewart
and ComodOre Vanderbilt all residents
OF New York City. AstOr's wealth is
mainly in real estate and its revenues
Nanderbiit'S is mainly in railroad
socks and their dividends; Stewards
in goods, houses, stores, factories
lands and stock. The aggregate
wealth of each one of them is sup
posed to be somewhere between
seventy-five and one hundred millions,
which looks rather heavy. Nobody
knows exactly; they coald't tell
themselves within million or two.
Those who know most about their
affairs put their figures highest, and
say that the income tax returns of a
few years ago, which showed each of
them to be worth between twenty and
thirty millions, gave no proper idea
of their real wealth. Astor lives
unostentatiously ; Vanderbilt lives in
three story brick house on third
class street; and Stewart lives in a
marble palace on Fifth avenue, more
magnificent than any other residence
on the America continent, and equal
ed by but few i'll any OF the great
cities of Europe. Astor and Wander
bilt are New Workers By birth; Stew
art is native of the norh of Ireland.
Astor is a large, heavy man Of seventy
with strong features and a rubicund
face, indicative of high living Stew
art is medium sized man, rather
slender and tall of seventy>three,
with face like a parchment, and
gives the impression of being hard
up; Vanderbilt is a tall, slim, hand
some, proud looking man OF nearly
e'Shty, straight as an arrow. Ast0r
has heirs to his estates; Vanderbilt
has children TO whom he can leave
his fortune; but Stewart is chiIdless
Astor S public benefactions are con-
lined to something like a couple OF
hundred thousand dollars, which he
gave to the Astor Library. and the
two golden candlesticks, nire feet
high. he recently gave to Trinity
church. Vanderbilt has never made
any public benefactions, excepting a
steamship to the government during
the war, till very recently. when he
gave a million dollars for educational
purposes one half of this sum to found
a university in Tennssee. and the
other half to another educational
institution. Stewart has always had

THE HERO OF THE LAVA
BEDS.
Gen. JEFF. c. Davis upon Caro-
lima Women.

From the Chester South Carolina Reporter
Having succeeded in capturing the
MOdocs and thereby pu ting an end to
the war. General Davis will be the
hero Of the hour. His fame will re-
sound from the lava beds of California
to the cod fiheries of new England.
All that will keep his name from being
immortal is that he allowed Captain
Jack to slip through his fingers after
he had him III power.
General Davis has fame in this
section of the country. Il is not one
that a warrior would envy; but such
as il is he should have the benefit of
il in this the hour OF his glory. He
was officer in Sherman'S army that
swept through this State in 1865
Whether he commanded Il corps or a
division we do not recollect, nor is it
material to know. AS the army of the
North approached the liBe Of Chester
county il came upon the home of Mr..
John Douglas, in Fairfield county. \
courier came to this house and deman-
ded room for the headquarters OF
General jeff. e.. Davis. He brought
with him carpet, which he put down
i'll the room, and other comforts and
conveniences for his commander.
Soon afterwards General Davis arrived
and took possession or the'quarters
that had been prepared for him. Mrs
E, the daughter of Mr. Douglas.
and the wife of Rev. II. w. E.
who was residing in the house and
taking care Of her aged father, appealed
to him to protect the property on the
place. He assured her that he would
do so. and told her to pack up the ar
ticleS that she deemed most valuable
and deposit them in the room that he
occupied, and that he would be person.
ally responsible for Their safety. She
did so, packed up in trunks everything
that she deemed of special value and
placed in his room. When he left the
house she went into the room to re-
cover her valuables and found that the
trunks had been broken open and
everything that was worth carrying
off had been taken away.
This is the hero of the MOdoc war.
These facts can be established by wit
nesses whose credibility no man would
dare gaiLsay.

FINANCIAL g. COMMERCIAL

Business generally has been about the same as
last week, and trade in all branches has been
rather quiet The receipts of grain have been
fair.
In money matters there has been no material
change to note. The demand for money con.
tinues about the same as previously reported
and fully absorbs the ioanable funds in the
market. The banks generally confine their ac-
commodations to regular customers.
In Chicago the market is reported active, and
the demand fully equal to the supply, The ten
dcncy of the market seems towards greater ease
but no great relief can be expected until the
opening Of navigation, when the great amount Of
grain in store will be forwarded to eastern
markets
Gold has been firm and active during the week,

tendency seems running towards higher prices.
