The following per. picture of the effects
of the terrible pestilence is furnished by
DR.. l.. II. Cohen to the Quincy Wing:
Perhaps no more appalling sight can be

those stricken cities; even in its milder
forms it Is bad enough. Not infrequently
the doomed victim Is apparently but
slightly attacked; may be seen sitting up
in his bed, reading perhaps, and to all APP
pearance but little, indisposed |; yet in such
case, at his very next visit, the physician
may find but lifcless corpse, gone from
this world without struggle The dis
case is so fearully insidiOus, that no one
can fofetell how the primary attack may
result, and the. seeds Of the malady may

troubles are expected in Hampstead
county. Letters received yesterday
state that the appointments made by
Governor Baxter in that county do not
meet with the appreciation OF the citi'
zen 8, and that they openly oppose their
Sheriff, whose bonds were approved by
the last General Assembly, aud as
letters from himself 10 friends in this
city states that he was warned to leave,
being informed that he would not be
permitted to perform the functions OF

warning came, he accordingly left and
proceeded to Arkadelphia where he
remains and will determine his future

tent by various kilograms and rumors
from the other side. Stock exchange
opened with firm feeling, but soon at

tion for the remainder OF the day had q

most marked in late afternoon dealings
The decline in prices ranged from / to

SANFRANCISCO.
News From The Lava Beds.


SAN FRANCISCO, May l2.-Reports
by a courier, just received from the lava
beds, state that the scouting party un-
der Captain Hasbrouck has been heard
from. Capt. Hasbrouck reports that
his command was attacked by party
OF Modocs. Four soldiers and one
Warm Spring Indian were killed and
six soldiers and one Warm Spring In.
dian were wounded. The attack was
very sudden and the troops were taken
completely by surprise. After the first
fire OF the Modocs Captain Hasbronck
rallied his command and charged upon
them in body. The Modocs retired
under the charge and were driven into
the woods, scattering in all directions.
Several volleys were fired upon them,
but it is not known whether any were
killed. The troops succeeded in cap
turing twenty-five horses belonging to
the Modocs.
SECOND DIsPATCH.
When Captain Jack. with bis band
Of Modocs, attacked the command OF
Captain Hasbrouck, the soldiers recog
nized the Uniform of General Candy on
Captain Jack. Thirty three Modocs
were engaged in the fight. There is a
strong suspicion here that the Modocs
are receiving aid from outside parties.
Captain Hssbrouck captured six boxes
of carbine cartridges from the Modocs,
which had been captured by the Indians
short time ago while being sent to
the front.
Latest.
When the last courier left General
Davis camp the troops were atthe lava
beds and the Modocs were entirely out
of their lava stronghold. The artillery
will be moved to the side Of the lake to
prevent the Modocs from returning to
the lava beds, and tie battery OF the
troops will follow aud destroy them. 1t
is the opinion OF Capt. Hasbrouck that
the Modocs are almost entirely out OF
ammunition.
General Canby's Remains.
The remains OF the late Gen. Candy
arrived here tonight by steamer from
Portland, Oregon. The funeral ceremo-
nies will take place on Wednesday
afternoon. The body will 60 east on
Thursday in the charge Of Capt. Hawk
ins Mrs. Candy will accompany the
remains, which will be finally inferred
at indianapolis.
No official dispatches have yet been
received by General Scofsld regarding
the late engagement between the Mo-
docs and Captain Hasbrouck.

AssassinRted.

We learned indirectly, on Monday
last, that Jas. II. Nelson, one of the
witnesses who was in attendance at
the early part OF the present term OF
court, was shot by unknown parties at
the residence OF a Mrs. Shaver, in Grant
district, this county, last Sunday night.
The perpetrators OF the crime. as well
as the causes leading to it, being who'll
" unknown and shrouded in mystery
1t appears that Nelson was keeping
company with girl in Mrs Shaver's
family, and he was at her house on the
night in question, paying his accustem-
ed visit to the young lady. Some noise
occurred in the yard fronting the house,
about niue o'clock in the evening, and
Nelson went out to ascertain the cause;
finding stray horse on the premises,
he drove it away, and was in the act OF
returning when be was fred on. The
ball, (from common rife entered the
mans right side, and ranged downward
through the in estines, glancing inward
from the pelvic bone, and at last account
the surgeons were unable 10 extract it.
1t is said that Nelson will die from the
effects of the wound.
Nelson was at one time in the peni-
Tertiary for larceny, and having served
out his time was discharged from that
about six months ago. No
definite clue has been accertained OF
the murderers, though we believe Mrs.
Shaver is represented to have recog-
nized. OF as believing che recognized
two parties who made their appearance
at the window a short time after the
deed was committed. We also learn
Nelson has an idea who the persons
were, and have been informed that he
was fred at once before, short time
prior to the present instance. 1fsuch
is true, the perpetrators Of the decd may
yet be apprehended.
We gathered these facts from gen.
who lives in the neighborhood
where the event occurred. Our intor-
mant-Mr. George NJ. Ryan-received
the facts from Others and could not
vouch for the details, though feels con-
fident the statements are in the main
correct.-Fairmom West Virginial.
