Another Fight with the Modocs.

On the 10sh inst, the camp Of q scouting
party Of u. s. Troops under the command OF
Capt HaEbrouck was surprised By about thirty
Modccs TIE Indians rode up within few
hundred yards Of the camp, then dismounting
crept up to near the camp at daybreak and fred
into it, expecting to stampede them as they
had done before, but ia this they were mis-
taken, fer Capt. Hasbrouck rallied his men and
charged the Modocs. The Warm Spring Ia
dams, the allies Of the U. s. Troops, charged
upon them with intrepidity and were chiefly
instrumental in putting the Modocs to flight,
aud running them past their plumber which was
captured. The Modocs lost two killed, q large
part Of their horses, their ammunition, cloth
ing and provisions. Three of the q. S. Troops
were killed and several wounded. One Warm
Spring Indian was killed. The scene of action
is nov about twenty Miss southwest of the
original Modcc stronghold in country nasu-
rally very strong The Modocs are now fort
tyirg in rocky fastness. The force present is
not sufficient to storm the place AID the No
does will be held there, if possible, until rein
forcements with mortars can be brought up.
The troops are suffering for water The total
number Of troops in the field is twenty officers
and four hundred and eighty men, including
about two hundred Warm Spring Indians.
Lieut.. Harris, who was wounded on the Goth
of April, died on the 18th inst. His mother

Sad End of tha Richmond Duel.

Since our last issue no new facts IN regard to
the cause of the duel between Mordecai and
McCarty, in Richmond, have come out
| McCarty was the author of a poem which APP
peared in the Enquirer last February, which
Mordecai considered reflection upon himself
| and lady. This trouble was smothered over
| by friends, until recently, when McCarty
| talked at Mordecai, in the Club House, and
when the latter said he was gentleman and
demanded respect, &c." McCarty minated
| he was not. Mordecai fought him and Nc
Carly challenged him afterwards. Both par
| ties stand high in Richmond and both were
cool on the field. Last Wednesday night, the
| 18th, the hopes of Mordecais friends were
blasted, by sudden change for the worse and
he died, 10 great pain, from wound IN the abdo-
men, at 81 o'clock. The State law holds Nc
Carly, the other principal, who was wounded
in the hip, amenable for murder 10 the frat
degree, and the seconds, VIM. L. Royal, w.
B. Tabb, w. r. Trigg and j. s. Meredith ac-
cessories before the fact.
| 1t is a sad result and furnishes another
| striking argument against the wickedness OF
the duello, which violates both the laws OF
God and the laws of the State. The statute of
this State makes the crime of killing in duel,
murder in the first degree
In speaking of the result of this duel, the
Baltimore Sun says
| ut is earnestly to be hoped that this most
mourntul event will at least have the effect oil
| rousing thespubc sentiment of Virginia to put
down. cruel, bloody and inhuman practice,
combining in itself the elements of both MUIR
der and suicide, as contrary to the laws Of God
| and to those Of man, and net more contrary to
either than to reason, common sense and JUS
tice. The duel, which the colonsts of this
country imported from England, their native
land, has been long ago given up there, il being
somewhat more than half century since in
England the survivor of fatal duel, though q
military man Of high rank, was tried, convicted
and hanged for murder. With the individual;
in this and other affairs of this kind we have
nothing to do, but We may say that il Virgins
will carry out her own enactment against duel
ing, it will 60 out of fashion there as it has il
| EDglaud."
