by other sects as occasion requires.

FROM THE MoDoc CoUNTRY.-A
correspondent from. Linllville, Lost
River, Jackson county, Oregon, writing
to US under date of Jan. 18th, gives an
account OF the eowardiy and treacber-
Gus conduct Of One-AFin Brown, OF Sa-
lem, who was deputed to warn the set
tiers of the jfodoc outbreak, and thus
save their lives, but instead OF obeying
the instructions given him, secTeted
himself in cabin until the massacre
of the innocent and unprotected set
tiers had taken place, and then to es-
cape the just wrath of the incenaed
people, fled the country and Hnever
spared whipor spur" until safely housed
at Salem. Our correspondent says:
"Just imagine, if you can, the cold,
stark bodies of eighteen as. good and
industrious people as ever descended
from Revolutionary sires, murdered
and butchered up so badly that even
their own relatives could not indentify
them, and then wonder that the indig.
nation of our citizens was almost be-
yond control at the thought of the cow.
ardice and treachery which caused thi.
sad calamity
