A rrible accident in New Haven
is thus rel,ied in the Press dis
patches:
Nkw HAVEN, April "a terrible acci-

fallen on it. Shepherd block was locat-
ed on the site of the old North Congre-

already been expended on il. Work WIS

caused by this fact. When the frost

New BRIDGE - The citizens Of
Verdi and vicinity held meeting
last evening for the purpose Of max
ing arrangements to build new free
bridge across the Truckee River at
point formerly occupied by Smith a
Enn.k's toll bridge. At the last
meeting of the Board of County
Commissioners the Board approprl
ated the sum OF 81 100 in scrip on
the Grneral Fand, for the purpose
of constructing bridge at that
point, but refused to give ANYTHING
for the purchase of the franchise held
by Smith y Fonlks. At the meet
ing above mentioned an agreement
WAS entered into between tn cifi.
ZeuS and MessrS Smith X Foulks,
that at the completion of the bridge
and the payment of 81. 100 the fran

total cost of the construction is esti-
mated at 81 600. Mr. J. ). Sellers,

THE MODOC WAR.

A. in duty bound. We herewith re
produce the latest bulletin from the
seat of war in Oregon:
HEADQUARTERS. LAVA BEDS. April
g. The situation is unchanged.
There was no talk to-day with the
Modocs. They sly one OF their
warriors has died, which is a blind.
Riddles wife was much abused for
letting out their plans of capturing
the Commissioner and Gen. Candy.
and returned disgusted ard with no
hope Of a peaceful settlemf Mt.
The move of Mason's troops in close
proximity to the Modoc camp may
greatly retard negotiations. It is
not thought that peace can be made
at present. though many are hopeful
of favorable result. The Modocs
don't intend leaving this place unless
taken away by force. Yesterday
some Of Colonel Mason's men drove
in aome Indian ponies. but we're or
dered by General Gillem. as soon as
he heard of it, to drive them outside
of the lines.
April 1O.--Jack sent Boston in
yesterday for a talk. Perhaps he
wants to surrender. as that is what
Boston said Jack had to sav, which
Schoncbin John would not agree to.
He may leave and surrender. in spite
of Schonchin Riddles wife will
60 in to day to have another talk.
This will doubtless be the last effort,
and if nothing il done General Gil
leu will settle the matter. This
week will probably close the negoti-
ations, whether it will be war or
peace We expect orders every
honr for the camp to advance to the
first hlnff. and that move will snrelv
bring on a fight. Peace cannot he
made unless the Indians are given
Cottonwood and Hot Greeks.
Whether the Commissioners will do
this, or the Modocs ask it, remains
to he seen.

The latest from the lava beds i:
in the following:

All is quiet. Mason moved his troops
yesterday and met with no opposition.
Boston Charley came in to-day and said
that Jack would meet the Commission
ers at 10 o'clock tomorrow with five
men on each side. The Commissioners
will meet them and make one more effort
for peace. The Commissioners will
make a final proposition and give reasou-
able tim, for the Modocs to decide on ac-
cepting the terms. 1t will be insisted on
by the Commissioners that they leave
the lava bed, and no other terms will be
accepted. Amnesty will be- granted the
Nodocs, as at first promised. in case of
surrender. If they refuse these terms
General Gillem will then do his duty.

morrow end thsn the force will be COM

Hesotred, That tho letter written by Rev
Frlsbcc Cooper and others, OF Salon, 10 the
Attorney General IN respect TO Marshal Plum

timents and feelings of the intelligent citizens
OF the state, and that he must have been paid
well forit as several Of the delegation have
heard said Cooper dcnouuce Marshal Plum.
mcr Tor his refusal to recognize our citizen
chip.
Reaolced, That we hail with Joy tho few
timely words of General Grant in Ills inaugll

ReSolrcd, That the statement which Mar.
shall Plummer has made to the Attornc,
General, in reference to Rev. Vim. f. Walker
and to which Rev. Mr.. Walker has taken

questionably false, renders said Marshal

Resotred, That we demand, in the name Of

Resoieed, That, as the States Of New York
Arkansas, Mississippi and Florida have re.

Our COlOrell LabOrers.

We have recently read with regret, in ia
pcrs published in distant cities, paragraphs
rejecting on the colorcd citizens of this Dis
trict as mainly dependent upon public and
private charities for their support during the
past winter. These statements arc alike
unjust and untrue. The colorcd citizens Of
this District will compare favorably, so far as
their industry and their prosperity are con-
cerned, with any other class. True, the pub
lie works have made demand for labor, and
those colorcd men who have 1ocked here to
dig, to drive teams, or TO aid in laying pave.
ments are not wealthy. Their whole prop
erty is in bones, sinews, and hcalth-not in
Government Five-twentics or Credit Mobilier
bonds. Hence, while they have health and
strength they can support themselves and
families. When, however, winter comes on
and the works are stopped-when contractors
fail to pay, or when their health is impaired
they are naturally in straitencd circum-
stances. They have no margin" to rely
ONO extra dividends-no coupons
they need some assistance from the generous
public. But when the spring comes these
men will 20 forth cheerfully TO labor, and
it will be by their strong arms that our
metropolis is TO he made worthy of the na-
ton. Neither passion, party politics, or cast
should be permitted TO prejudice the national
public mind against these useful and merito-
rious toilers, because they have not been able
to earn their bread during the severe winter
from which We are just emerging.

The ColOr War About Ended.

The most significant feature Of the inau.u-
ration festivities was the grand ball, attended
by the President, his Cabinet, and the for
eign Ministers, and by citizens without
distinction of race, color, or previous condi-
ton" ''Social equality" the President had
just said publicly from the Capitol, is not
subject to be legislated upon, nor shall ask
that anything be done TO advance the social
status of the colored man except to give him
a fair chance to develop what there is good
in him :" and these words, interpreted by his
action in the evening Of the same ,lay, mark
an epoch in the national feeling toward the
colored race. They confirm the opinion
which We expressed last week, that with the
FOrty-sccond Congress the war period ended
for whites and blacks alike. 1t has taken
eighty-four years to place the head Of the
Republic on social equality with the seryile
population of 1859; but that being effected,
10 the lasting credit Of the American people,
there remains no excuse for the old party
divisions, and little reason for suppOsing that
on general questions OF public policy there
will be any greater unanimty among the
blacks than among the whites. West Point

wives of colored Congressman; Jas Brooks

arc some of the signs Of the times TO which

Sewing in the Public schools.

The following is an extract from Dr.
Waterston's recent quarterly report 10 the
school committee upon the Everett grammar
school, located upon Northampton street ::
SIX classes are now taught the usc Of the
needle, which is considered a very great ad-
vantage. This important branch of female
education has, hitherto, been much neglected.
It has such direct bearing upon the practical
duties Of life, that one might expect il to hold
a pre-eminent place in any well-conAidered
scheme Of female education. There may be
more snowy and pretentious department.. Of
instruction for girls, but there Is nothing
which will have u rnofe powerful influence
upon their coming life as sisters, daughters,
wives, and mothers. The committee would
urge upon this board the introduction, as far
AS practicable, of the general, systematic,
and thorough instruction in sewing, that il
may hold, at least, a. important place in
the education of girls as music and drawing,
which, though greatly desirable, are certainly
no more so, 10 any young woman, than the pro-
per and skillful ase Of the needle.-Bos. Gio5e.
