The CHASE AFTER THE MoDocs The
troops up to yesterday, 900 in number, still
surround the lava beds The whites have,
in the last week, lost three killed, and slainl
about ten Indians, and captured one squaw.
A dispatch from San Francisco dated the
23rd inst, says:
A dispatch from the lava beds on Sunday
says pack train with twenty one men as an
escort was attacked at the head Of Long
cave while coming from Col Mason's camp.
The men sheltered themselves behind the
rocks. One man was killed aud another
wounded. The train was fred into upon
entering the lava beds, and again when it
returned. The Modocs crept to within 800
rods and fred at the pickets, and also sent a
volley through the camp. Major Thomas
sent shell among them. when they dis
persed. There were eleven Indians in the
attacking party. The Warm Spring Indi-
ans will start to hunt the Modocs, but they
are scattered in small parties. The roads
to Yreka are not safe, and the country is in
great ferment Scarfaced Charley was
not killed 1t is thought that small pastes
of the Modocs raid around the country to
secure good horses, while sufficient num-
Der remain in the lava beds to keep the troops
employed. The cavalry has returned with
out finding any trail. Colonel Perry trav-
elled eighty miles, making the round Of the
lava beds.

Coy. SEYMOUR, OF New YORK, ON THE
PRospEeT IN VIRGINIA. Governor Sey.
mour, Of New York, who passed through
Staunton a few days since, on his way home,
had ssaid some days in the neighborhood Of
Charlottesville. Of his opinion of things,
one Of that towns papers says:
He was very pronounced in praise Of the thor
ough equipments Of the University, aid de-
clared that he had no idea that the South could
boast of so superior an institution. He
thinks that the few settlers who have slready
appeared among us are but the prelusive
drops Of the coming shower. the mere rills
that form the head-apriugs Of a mighty river.
The Western lands which are open to set
Element are SO remote, and the cost of trans
portation SO great that the full tide Of i'm
migration, sooner than We think, will be d.
verted to the South Rich and abundant
as are our mineral resources, he regards our
timber as being far more valuable The
very cross-.ies OF Northern railroads will
soon be cut in Southern forests. With our
moro than doubled population, tho evils Of
which we have now to complain, will spec
diy disappear

The VALLEY RAILROAD. latest
news from Botetourt shows that the oppo.
nents to the Valley Railroad subscription,
after their FIRST injunction was dissolved
amended their bill, but afterwards withdrew
it on sn uuders landing that the road was to
run near Fincast'e and 10 days notice was
to be given when the bonds we're called for.
The Lexington (Va.) Citizen has the
following:
A telegram was received Monday mora
ing from Garrett, President of the Valley
Railroad, substantially to the following eft
feet That on the 9th proposition was
submitted to the Finance Com nlissiouers of
Baltimore to place 80 per cent of her sub
ecri ption in escrow, and that Rock bridge
should place 80 per cent. of her bonds also
in escrow, both to become available upon
the letting OF the road. aocording t, the up-
erstanding some weeks ago. This WAS
declined. A resolution was asked to the
effect that if Rock brdge should be put up
on the same footing with Staunton and Lex
ington, and putting the road under contract,
that payment would be ordered This, too,
was declined. They deny their right to
give checks or order it to be done They
decline to pass resolution that, if certain
things are done, they will give an affirmative
answer, on the ground that it might tram
mel them hereafter upon the appearance of
new facts. They comment on various facts
connected with the county subscriptions,
and upon the position of Botetourt and
Roanoke, and the action of the Virginia
Legislature.

congregational meeting was held, at which
nearly four hundred dollars was raised to

The sell vices were continued on Friday

on both days. On Friday his subject was

nature of true repentance, aud how men
were led to it by the goodness of Gad and
not by looking at their sins.
On Sunday, Rev. T. B. .Strickler, pastor
of Thinking Spring Church, preached from
the text: Him that cometh unto me, I
will in no wise cast out /" The sermon was
carefully prepared and very able and in

preacher pursued strictly scientific method,
though he most carefully concealed his act.
He showed q priora, that in the nature Of
the case, Christ must receive all who come,
and a posteriori, that He actually did re-
ceive all such. The house was packed with
a congregation, said to be the largest ever
assembled at Lebanon.
Thirteen persons were admitted into full
communion with the church, seven of whom
made, for the first time, profession of faith
in Christ. The Sacrament of the Lords
Supper was administered by Rev. b. Thorn

here and there in the fields around the

probably an exaggeration. To show how
terribly incensed the people were against
the negroes, relate the following incidents !:
We came across one negro whose clothes
we're smoking, and who had probably been
in the fire. Some of our party remarked
that be was alive. Instantly one of our
guides whipped out six-sbooter, saying
"I'll finish the black dog" Of course we
demonstrated, and he put away his weapon.
Some one stopped down and turned the ne.

minutes afterward we came on big black

The State Conservative Central Commit

The State Conservative Central Commit
tee will meet on the 7th of May to decide
on time and place for holding the State
Convention. The papers of the State are
freely expressing their opinion as to the To-
cality, the chief points mentioned being
Richmond and Lynchburg. Il the fight
was between Lynchburg and Libert or
Farmville, or Hanover Courthouse, we
should prefer Lynchburg, but, as it is, the
people Of this section would rather unite
pleasure with business, and go where, in
the intervals of the sessions, they can see
something. Richmond is splendid city
now, worth seeing, with all the life that one
sees in a metropolis, and a trip there is
worth twenty visits to smaller place. We
hardly think that the friends of any partic.
ular candidate in the Conservative ranks
would wish to corner convention in small
town, for the better use Of political influence,
but if there were danger of such short.
sighted policy, the choice of large roomy
city like Richmond would avert all proba.
bility Of it. As far as we have learned the
preference of the people of this section, they
would rather 60 the metropolis Put the
