YREKA, April 12.-The news of the
horrible massacre of Gen. Candy an,
Commissioner Thomas. has cast gloon.
cf !sorrow over this whole community,
and the excitement is intense. A feel
lnS exists that the Indians should now
receive the punishment they SO richly
deserve; that not one should be left to
boast of this terrible massacre. Orders
have been issued on the field for an all
vance along the whole line at o'clock
this morning. The plan was to advance
slowly, taking everything as they went
along. having water and provisions with
them. In this case it may be two days
before the trouble is ended. 1t is pre-
sumed that the remains of Gen. Canty
and Commissioner Thomas will be for
warded to this place, and should arrive
some time tomorrow. By many it is
believed the Modocs are desperate and
will fight until the last man dies, and
that they will not leave their cave. 9th
ers think they have already made their
escape from the lava beds and will make
a relentless war upon all weak parties
they may meet.
