tering shots were fired at the men who attempt
ed to advance on them. AT nine o'clock Col.
Gillem's command moved forward from the
positien gained on Tuesday, and soon occupied
he iadae next to Jacks camp Col Mason
moved the right forward as rapidly as possible
to form junction with Gen. Gillems lelt, CUT

source of water supply The junction was ct
fected at noon at 2 p M, the mortars were
throwing shells within excellent range =.
ing the Modocs, should the shell drive them out;
After the firing, the Modocs. replied with yeils:
After the fifth shell there came raking ire,
and small party of men sprang out OF the
chasm, and came into the lines amid shower
OF bullets. The falling back was caused by the
Modes NI thanking and opening cross fire, Col,
MIllerU attempting to form junction with the
warm Spring Indians, missed them as he swung
down the great chasm with thirteen men,
whereupon Miller fortified himself: The Mo-
docs fought for their lives until the mortars
opened, and withstood the fire until p m,
when the shells began falling in their midst,
and they broke cover, dashng along the ledge,
and losing two men killed, and one wounded:
The line was reformed and held around the
Modocs: COL Mason signalled that the Modocs
were on his rear flank trying to get out.
. At 7:45 p m, Col Mason's men were seen or
the Bluff: There was heavy firing at 8 o clock
on Col Mason's line; a strong effort was made
to unite Col Mason's left to Greene's left: At
9.oclock, Col Greenes whole line was moving;
Col Mason at 9;45 signalled that the Modocs
were leaving the lava beds, and the cavalry were
ordered to pursue: Half an hour later heavy
firing was heard at the Modocs' stronghold: At
1.S0 the Warm Spring Indians reported three
more Medoc scalps, making four to-day.
AT O'Clock p. IN. the terrible fire has ceased.
There will be more severe fighting before the
works are carried. 1t is almost impossible to
see an Indian.
Casello says that the blaze from the musket-
ry firing along the lake shore about the time of
his departure last night, was continuous. He
believed the Modocs make a strong effort to
escape by the lake or to get water, and were
completely routed, from the appearance of the
firing and the time of its duration. He says
the Indians are certainly disheartened, for he
watched them with glass at long range three
different times during the days fight and they
were running from one poins to another with
no apparent purpose, and seemingly bewildered
by the advance of our forces. He learned that
our casualties are four killed and nineteen
wounded, some slightly.

ANNIVERSARY EXERCISES AT CHESTNUT ST.
M. E. CHURcH.-The custom of giving an an
niversary concert, which has been followed by
this Sunday School for many years, was observ-
ed on the evening of Fast Day, with unusual
success. judging by the full house and the ex-
pressions of pleasure which we have heard from
all quarters. The excellent singing of the chill
dren in chorus, and the carefully selected and
finely delivered dialogues which gave pleasure to
every one, were well supplemented by beauti-
fully rendered solo by Mrs. Goudy a duet by
Mrs. Cloudy and Mrs. Norcross and quartettes
by Mrs, Cloudy, Mrs. Norcross and Messrs.
Coyle and Staples. The affair was thoroughly
well gotten up, and deserves repetition.
We understand that the parties concerned in
these exercises, sharing in the general public
interest favorable to the Maine General Hos
pital Fair, would consent to repeat the enter
tainment with some popular changes and addi-
tions, at the same place, for the benefit of that
charity. We suggest that the committee look
into the matter, as handsome sum might quite
likely be realized.

was refused. An attack was made and the
negroes were driven into the court house The
court house was fired aud the negroes slaughter
