of little assistance, as our troops were so
demoralized that they fired ON them by
mistake, compelling them to retire. The
bodies of our dead and wounded were
not recovered until Sunday morning.
Most of the mules had the eplzootic.
The Indians had completely surrounded
our troops and when the men broke
many ran right into the jaws of death.
-Four men were found around the body
of Lieutenant Wright and eleven around
Major Thomas and Lieutenant Howe.
From all accounts it appears that they
were attacked by 35 Modocs, which, it is
supposed, is the whole strength of the
enemy. Our men lost II guns and
about 2000 rounds of ammunition, which
the Indians probably have The Indi-
ans had six fires burning on the night OF
the 2Sth. Eight of our killed we're bu-

Thomas, Lieut's Howe, Sherwood and
Wright were taken to Yreka on the
morning of the Goth by Lieut.. Foster.
The wounded are doing well. Some OF
the bodies were mutilated by the In
dams, having their feet and hands cut
off. AS far as known there are q
killed, Is wounded and missing.
A Yreka dispatch of the 1st says the
bodies of the above named officers had
arrived there and lay in state in Mason

against the Modocs will be made for
some days, as Gen. Davis will not move
until thoroughly prepared. He left for

fascinating lady school-teacher in Ken
lucky country town. First she rejected
him but he behaved with so much dignity
under the modification of her refusal,
neither getting drunk nor hating her,
and he manifested so many signs Of earn

him a note informing him that she had
reconsidered. The young man, all aglow
with happiness, fastened to her side, and
insisted on immediate marriage. But
here an unlooked-for obstacle interviewed
Her school term was but half out, and

TERRIBLE SITUATION OF A CHILD
GALLANT REscUE.-A little boy, aged
two years, belonging to Mr.. Thomas
Mann, living on King street, between
Church and Shelburn, Sunday forenoon,
succeeded in climbing to the top. of an
old ladder, twenty. seven feet high,
standing against a building exactly on
the brink of the deep gully, at that
point fully fifty feet deep. The child
had reached the last round when its per-
ilous condition was observed by its
grandmother, who at once gave the
alarm (the parents being from home at
the time), and Mr.. p. Gallagher, build
er and near neighbor, was soon on the
spot On taking survey Of the sltua-
ton, Mr.. G. found, in order TO rescue
the child alive, he would be obliged to
work with great caution. He found the

Considering the location and the condi,
