camp was. speedily under arms, eager
TOR a brush with the enemy. In an
hour after, they were at the scene of
the tragedy and found the bodies.
That Of General Candy was stripped
naked, aud near by was that Of Rev.
Mr.. Thomas, stripped to the pants.
Neither were disfgured, as the red
devils evidently left In too great .
hurry to scalp their victims. Meacham
lay covered with blood, still alive, but
helpless, although able to speak a fCw
words. He was taken to camp and
his wounds properly dressed. A bull
let, blowing his forehead, had cut of
one eyebrow and the bridge Of his
nose. He had also received severe
wounds In the arm, back of the right
ear and across the scalp, but mono
were considered necessarily fatal. The
sight Of these bodies greatly excited
the troops, and they called for imme-
diats vengeance. General Gillem, In
cammand, however, thought best not
to march into tho stronghold OF the
enemy without proper preparation,
incurrlug the risk Of defeat and still
greater disaster. There are six hun
dred well-arllled and well-oflcered
troops, and the determination was to
march into the lava beds as soon as
possible and show no quarter. phi,
has doubtless been done before this
time, but whether any Modocs were
found to fight with is a question.
Those willy scoundrels may. perhaps
not have been idle Of late, but taking
advantage Of the dilatory peace nego-
tiations, secured their escape to parts
unknown, leaving just a few to execute
this treacherous scheme Of vengeance,
with their ponies ready for a-run to
where the slow-moving troops could
not follow with effect.
We do most earnestly hope that this
terrible tragedy will teach u Gov:
eminent a lesson in it, future dealings
with the Indians. The loss Of General
lCanby alone could not be compensated
BY the lives OF tho whole Modoc gang,
lot alone the financial cost Of the farci-
cal peace negotiations. Gen. Crooks
style Of dealing with the Indians down
in Arizona is the best, least costly,an
by far the most offectusl. 1t is the
only style Of negotiations the savages
can appreciate, and they should be

The american Farmers Adsocate
comes to hand for March, a little behind
time, but the delay is accounted for by It's
improved appearance. The Fublishe rs
who have from the commencement shown
unusual enterprise in giving greater
amount of reading matter, and of a quail
ity unexcelled, have made one improve
meut after another. With this number
they commence printing upon fine paper,
from clear, new type, furnishing as here
tofOre sixteen large pages of reading mat
ter, stitched and cut. Every farmer and
every business man should take it, and
the publishers have adopted plan which
enables everybody to obtain it without
cost. By sending them a subscription for
any 81 or higher priced paper or maya
zine they furnish the ADVOCATE as prem
UNI, without extra charge. The subscrip>
ton price is singly 81, or il clubs at so
cents each.
AS heretofore announced we will fur
nish the BOLIVAR BULLETIN and Farmer S
Advocate to any one address for the sum
of two dollars and fifty cents a year.

Line Upon Line.

The editor of The Courier, Louisburg,
n. c., fads fault with farmers thereabout
because, in common with too many South
ern agriculturists, they "handle money
merely in the capacity of agents for Wes-
tern pork rasers." He would have them
adopt the better system of growing less
cotton and more corn. This would ill
their barns with yellow grain, their fields
with cattle and foeks of sheep, enable
them to keep their legal tenders at home,
and give them feeling of independence
which cannot we'll exist when they have
to rely upon strangers and spectators
for their support. The Courier psints
out that there is as much money and
considerably more profit in fewer cotton
bales that every pound of meat the
Southern farmer buys from remote
markets lowers the price of his great
staple and raises the price of provisions
These things have been said before, bu
the editor has no faith that his constitu.
ents will heed the repeated call. On tbs
contrary, as he afirms, "they have leareC
to travel certain road and are not to b.
convinced that there is a better way"

The late law passed by Congress taxing
newspaper exchanges with postage and
imposing the same burden upon the peo
pie for county papers, is retrograde
movement, but in full ord with the
policy of party that relies for its sue
cess IN the overthrow of the cove rnment
upon ignorar CO, on the part of the people,
of its nefarious designs. To embarrass
the press, and check, as far as practica-
bic, the dissemination of information on
subjects Of universal interest, Congress
deemed it advisable to enact law that
may, and probably will, crush many of
the country papers, and thus defeat the
rapid and general diffusion of know
ledge of its doings. And this they have
done says the Chronicle, whilst prefessN
ing deep interest in the education Of
the people as means of protecting them
selves against insidious assaults upon their
constitutional rights. In the political
education of the masses, the press plays
the part of common schools, in laying the
foundation tor the acquisition of that
knowledge embraced within the restrict
| ed term-education. This laW is a step
! towards Interior Capitalization and as
| such, should be execrsted and denounced
| By every honest lover of his country and
Of the rights guaranteed to him by Its
| organic law.

Good Words for the Press.

The Philadelphia Press, reviewing the
situation of public affairs, is dismayed at
the sight 1t finds that the good name of
the republicans we'll as the safety of the
government, is IN danger Faithful leg
lators and irreproachable legislators still
exist; but many in those high positions
are falling from their places, damned by
an outraged peoples Indignation The
Press asks: Whom are we to trust
Who is faithfully 1t says:
1--WE answer these questions frankly,
by declaring that the American people
now have 40 truer, more disinterested or
Vigilant representatives than they possess
in the journalists of the land. The press
is the most trustworthy exponent of pOpu-
lar rights, and in the hour Of the cOun'
try's shame, the people turn with increas-
ed confidence to the journalists who de-
fend their interests and denounce their
wrongs. We candidly believe, that if it
were not for fear of the press, the corrup-
ton which develops itself in so many of
fetal places would be tenfold greater"

THE LAST OF WILD BILL.-A private
letter from Salina CO., Kansas, dated
February IS, tells of the end of a noted
character in characteristic Western
fashion: "Wild Bilr'-you remember
him-has been killed. A gentleman from
Texas, whose brother the wild one had
sent to the spirit land, came up to Kan
sas to have q shot st William. He shot
the wild William so dead that he never
auivered. Think of mans buying a
grand horse and riding 900 miles just
to kill a fellow When the Texan shot
Wild Bill, he asked the crowd in the
bar.room if any gentleman had desire
to mix in" if sc, he would wait until
he "heeled," and he'd take pleasure in
killing him. No gentleman expressing
a desire to be killed, the Texan got On
his horse, and remarking that he had
business in Texas, slowly started for the
Lone Star State.
